Management

All the investigations are normal. I could not find any abnormality

in physical examination.. But because you have certain risk factors which are smoking, family history, diet, alcohol. Stress,
You are a bit on a higher risk than the general population.
We can do a lot to reduce this risk factors
I could give you a flier about this – described in National Heart foundation Australia
Smoking – aim is complete cessation of smoking, I will arrange another appointment for this
Nutrition – healthy diet – lots of vegetables and fruits less fat

Case 2

A 63 year old car sales man, John, presents to

the emergency department with crushing anterior chest pains. The triage nurse took an ECG which was normal and she assessed the patient as having angina. She gave him an aspirin and sublingual GTN tablet immediately and about 5 minutes later you see the patient who still complains about most severe anterior chest pains radiating into his jaws. This started very suddenly about 1 hour ago and has not improved at all.

Prognosis

Is it risky? The prognosis is usually good especially in those

who have normal BP and renal function. At this stage, I would like to organize admission to the hospital. in the hospital, they will monitor your closely and do investigation such as FBE, urine MCS (RBC casts and RBC ? indicates glomerular injury), urine cytology (detect malignancies of the bladder or lower urinary tract), urine culture, 24-hour urine protein test, U&E, RFTs, ESR/CRP, ASO titer and complement levels, Imaging: IVP/IVU, USD; cystoscopy if relevant
You will be assessed by a nephrologist. Most likely it is a self-limiting condition but the specialist may give you a trial of immunosuppressive drugs.
They might also consider giving you ACEI and ARBs for reduction of proteinuria. If proteinuria is more than 1-3gm/day, most likely they will give steroids (others: cyclophosphamide).
Prognosis is good but complications include ARF, nephrotic syndrome. Usually happens if patient has hypertension and pre-existing renal disease.

Hello Aaron, How have been from last week?
Hmm,

you are excited about trip!!! Okay, but Aaron, I
believe that I do not have some good news for you.
• Do not worry, I will explain what has happened, why it happened and what can happen in future and what we need to do from now?
• Are you with me?
• Okay, you have a condition called (abdominal) aortic aneurysm. Don’t worry about the name, I will explain you what it is....
It is an abnormal dilation of the main blood vessel in our body which comes from the heart and crosses the chest, abdomen, and supplies almost every part of the body with blood, known as aorta.
▪ You have this dilatation at the level of your tummy.
▪ Patients developed this dilatation due to weakness in the wall of the blood vessel which happens due to a degenerative process happening in all layers of the aortic wall.
▪ There are some risk factors that can lead to this degeneration process

The better news in your case is, it is <5cm wide, which is good.
It is still serious and we need to keep monitoring you.
Better to get the surgery done at the earliest to avoid complications.
In your case, you are welcome to go and enjoy your trip. But, before you leave, try to get accommodation which is close to a hospital or G.P clinic.
Try not to exert too much during your trip.
No contact sports

>5cm – Is it dangerous Doctor? Can I travel?

When it is

more than 5cm, you are at risk of rupture of aneurysm.
Even if you don’t have any serious symptoms when it is >5cms, we refer patients ASAP for an elective surgery done by the vascular surgeon at the hospital, the sooner the better as this condition is serious.
And I am sorry to say that you will have to reschedule your caravan trip.
If it is done electively, success rate is 95%.
If operation is delayed, the risk of rupture is 25%, but if ruptured, 80- 90% of cases lead to death.
It is a better outcome if an elective operation is done ASAP.
Give a sick certificate – so that he can get a refund for caravan or to reschedule
Screening for your Son from age 50 is indicated .

History

GM, I am Dr. XYZ… how are you today? I understand

that you are here for information about Down Syndrome, we will talk about this. Is this a planned pregnancy? Congratulations.
I understand from the notes that you are here to discuss about Down syndrome screening. I appreciate your initiative to do that. I understand your anxiety. I will give you all the information regarding the tests which can be done and how effective they are.
How is your pregnancy going so far? Are you getting your antenatal care? Are you done with your blood tests? Any concerns or issues? Any issues about your general health.
Down syndrome is one of the most common genetic abnormality with trisomy 21. There are some indications in doing Down syndrome screening in pregnant women:
–  Increased maternal age (>30)
–  Previous down syndrome baby
–  History of down syndrome in the family
Слайд 53

History

Reassure her that she will be monitored. Antenatal screening should be

discussed with all pregnant women so that they can make an informed decision whether to proceed with testing. In Victoria, 80% of pregnant women have an antenatal screening test. There are no specific contraindications or precautions.
We have screening tests and confirmatory tests. Women must understand that the screening test is a risk assessment and places their pregnancy in an increased or decreased risk category. Women must also understand that if the test suggests a high risk they will be offered a diagnostic(confirmatory) test that carries a small risk of miscarriage.

First trimester screening test Combined Test- ■ A non-fasting blood test

First trimester screening test

Combined Test-
■ A non-fasting blood test

which is done at 9-13 weeks AOG. We check Free beta-HCG (increase) & Pregnancy Associated Plasma Protein-A (PAPP-A) (decreased). We combine it with an Ultrasound done at 11-13 weeks AOG. Here we check
–  Fetal nuchal translucency i.e. skin fold thickness at back of baby's neck. Increased thickness (more than 2.5 mm) may be suggestive of chromosomal abnormalities.
–  Nasal bone ossification: The presence of an ossified nasal bone conveys lower risk for Down syndrome i.e. absence of nasal bone increases the risk of down Syndrome.
Слайд 55

risk factor Information from the ultrasound scan is reported to the

risk factor

Information from the ultrasound scan is reported to the pathology

laboratory to allow the calculation of the pregnancy specific risk factor. This risk factor takes into account the woman’s age, weight, pregnancy gestation, serum markers and the ultrasound scan markers.
Reports often classify the risk as ‘increased’ or ‘decreased’ using a cut-off value for Down syndrome of one in 300. Risk values less than 1 in 300 are
considered decreased risk and no further testing is required.
Слайд 56

–  Triple

test (a, b, e) (detection -71%) or
–  Quadruple {afp (decrease), b hCG (increased), estriol (decrease), inhibin A (increased)}, detection 81%
Second trimester screening is less sensitive that FTS ( first trimester screening). It is less useful for risk of trisomy-21 and 18, but the α-fetoprotein assessment does define the risk of a neural tube defect.
FTS is not performed in addition to STS (second), but is used in women who misses out FTS. For first trimester screening, women require two separate forms – one for the ultrasound and one for the blood test.
Antenatal screening tests are considered a private opt-in test and therefore out-of- pocket costs will be incurred.

In high-risk pregnancies, diagnostic tests:

■ CVS
–  Done ideally at

11-14 weeks.
–  A needle will be introduced into ur tummy, guided by ultrasound to avoid damage to the fetus and small portion pf placenta is taken and analyzed for genetic abnormalities
–  Results within 24 hours with FISH
–  However, the karyotyping is slightly less accurate than with amniocentesis because of
potential contamination with cells of maternal origin.
–  1% risk of abortion (1 in 100)
■ Amniocentesis
–  Done ideally at around 15-18
–  A small amount of fluid in bag that surround the baby is taken and analyzed for genetic abnormalities.
–  Results within 2-3 weeks but more accurate
–  0.5% risk of abortion (1 in 200)

patient questions

Are the tests painful? Many women find the diagnostic tests

uncomfortable, and they are often managed by local anaesthetic. You should take things easy for one to two days after the tests.
If previous pregnancy was down syndrome, the risk of having Down syndrome in the next pregnancy increases by 1%.
Now I will discuss with you other risks of old Age pregnancy: -
–  Increased chances of miscarriage, ectopic, HTN, GDM, placenta previa, preterm,
increase chance of induction and CS.
–  Fetal: Can have down, NTD, renal, cardio defects but we are most concerned about down syndrome
■ But don’t worry, we will closely monitor the pregnancy. Reassurance by saying that many women have successful pregnancies and we will monitor you regularly.

The pattern continues to adulthood but on a larger scale.
