vasculitis

Vasculitis is a disease that can encompass many different presentations. Usually end-points (pinnal tips, claws, tail tips, etc.) are affected due to lack of collateral circulation. Though pentoxifylline is the mainstay treatment traditionally, there are other options that are sometimes needed. This includes the off-label use of a common allergy medication.

Berglind Bergmann sérnámslæknir í lyflækningum og Hildur Jónsdóttir sérfræðingur í almennum lyflækningum leiða okkur í gegnum tilfelli með klínískri rökleiðslu (e. clinical reasoning). 

Þátturinn er sá fyrsti í nýrri undirsyrpu fyrir Lyflæknaþing sem verður haldið í nóvember 2022

Tilfellið er kynnt í nokkrum bútum og eftir hvern bút eru umræður. Tilfellið er leyst í rauntíma. Hlustandi getur þannig tekið þátt og spreytt sig á tilfellinu með okkur. Áherslan er að hugsa vítt, koma með mismunagreiningar og læra af ferlinu. Hvað leiðir okkur í rétta átt og hvað villir sýn? Rétt greining er afhjúpuð í lok þáttarins.

Þátturinn byggir á raunverulegu tilfelli. Upplýsingum hefur verið breytt til að gera þær ópersónugreinanlegar og gæta trúnaðar.

Your blood vessels play a vital role in your body functioning correctly. So, when something happens to them and they don’t perform as well as they should, it can result in significant issues for your organs. Depending on the location of the issue, these complications can be mild or severe. What causes your blood vessels to not function appropriately? What can be done to treat the issue? Is there a way to prevent it in the first place?

In this episode I cover giant cell arteritis.

If you want to follow along with written notes on giant cell arteritis go to https://zerotofinals.com/medicine/rheumatology/giantcellarteritis/ or the rheumatology section in the Zero to Finals medicine book.
