 VIRTUAL MEDICAL LOG BOOK OF ROLL NO .50


This is an online E log book to discuss our patient's de-identified health data shared after taking his/her/guardian's signed informed consent. Here, we discuss our individual patient's problems through series of inputs from available global online community of experts with an aim to solve those patient's clinical problems with collective current best evidence based inputs.


MONTHLY SUMMATIVE ASSESSMENT


I have been given the following questions to answer in an attmept to understand the topic of 'Patient clinical data analysis' to develop my competency in reading and comprehending clinical data including history, clinical findings, investigations and diagnosis and come up with a treatment, to assess the quality of treatment given and to suggest improvisations. 


 Question 1: Competency tested for Peer to peer review and assessment :


After going through one particular answer of ten students in this l

Here are my qualitative insights into what was good or bad about the answer. 

3. Cause for current acute excerbation ?

it could be due any infection In my opinion it could be due to allergy ie hypersensitivity due to weather conditions in January ... As patient has repeated episodes of symptoms at the same time every year. rather then a complex diagnosis

Appraisal

The approach to the cause of the paralysis through a detailed history of case was done well

The history was inadequate about the abscess

  A 45 yr old male with cheif complaints of : Altered Sensorium (Hypo active) and lethargy since  Morning

History of fever 10 days back,lasted for 3 days, followed by Pedal edema with Anasarca with Shortness of breath present even at rest .

Appraisal

monitoring of  creatinine and halting the damage to kidney without going to irreversible failure was commendable

Also dialysis helped the patient's encephalopathy 

All the problems like infection, hypertension and chronic proteinuria causing kidney failure were addressed well and treated

Negative points

 addiction history  was incomplete which might help diagnosis and liver cirrhosis

Patient was not warned or given medication for hypertension or pedal edema which might be first sign of renal failure

The liver failure was not explained which had lead to cirrhosis 

My analysis

I think case history was  incompletel

proper management of initial  symptoms like pedal edema or hypertension  would have been better

Overview

 A 70 year old female presented to casuality with complaints of Distension of abdomen and shortness of breath Grade-3 since 5days

 Appraisal

  Diagnosis and tests were adequate. The problem in the heart was localised with 2D echo. The wall abnormality and the chamber affected were seen. 

Negative points

the cause for abdominal distention was not addressed properly


 the cause for atrial fibrillation in a hypothyroidism patient was not solved.

My analysis

The diagnosis must also should have taken the age of the patient into consideration as she is of 70yrs of age were any interventions are not successful and the problem lies in the degeneration of tissue due to old age.
