This document discusses important urinary symptoms organized by location in the urinary tract (upper, lower, general) and type (pain, hematuria, irritative, obstructive). Key points include:
- Renal and ureteral pain can have various referral patterns depending on location of obstruction.
- Hematuria should not be ignored and its timing and association with other symptoms provides clues to its origin.
- Irritative symptoms like frequency and nocturia can be caused by various conditions that increase urine output or decrease bladder capacity.
- Obstructive symptoms include decreased urine flow and difficulties like hesitancy that indicate bladder outlet obstruction.
- Lower urinary tract symptoms can be irritative or ob
The document discusses symptomatology and fever of unknown origin (PUO). It notes that symptomatology refers to a patient's symptoms and signs. PUO is defined as fever that is unexplained after three outpatient visits or three days of investigation in the hospital. Common causes of PUO include infections, malignancies, and collagen vascular diseases. A thorough history, physical exam, and basic diagnostic tests are important for evaluating PUO.
Mr. XYZ, a 50-year-old man with type 2 diabetes for 18 years, presented with a 1 cm lesion and swelling on his right foot for 1 week. Examination found a purulent ulcer on his 5th metatarsal head with induration and erythema. Tests showed infection with Staphylococcus aureus. Treatment involves antibiotics, debridement, and ensuring adequate blood flow and glucose control to promote healing. Managing diabetic foot ulcers requires addressing underlying causes like ischemia or neuropathy through medical and surgical interventions.

This document discusses the history and evolution of surgery from ancient times to modern times. It covers important developments like the first surgeries performed in ancient Egypt and India, advances during the Middle Ages by surgeons like Guy de Chauliac, and seminal discoveries and techniques from the 16th century onward by figures like Ambroise Pare, William Harvey, Joseph Lister, and later pioneers of techniques like anesthesia, antisepsis, and organ transplantation. It outlines milestones from trepanation to the first heart transplant that have helped establish surgery as a major field of medicine.
This document provides an overview of abdominal examination techniques and findings. It discusses approaching gastrointestinal symptoms, performing a general physical exam, and specifically examining the abdomen through inspection, auscultation, percussion, and palpation. Key areas of the abdomen that can be examined include the liver, spleen, kidneys, gallbladder, and pancreas. Specific examination findings are outlined that may indicate various gastrointestinal conditions. The importance of thorough abdominal exams to evaluate symptoms and guide diagnosis is emphasized.
The document provides a brief history of surgery from ancient times to modern times. It discusses early trephination and dentistry practices dating back thousands of years. It outlines ancient surgical practices and techniques in Egypt, India, Greece, and China. It then discusses the decline of surgery during the Middle Ages and developments in bleeding, infection, anesthesia, transplantation, and minimally invasive techniques in modern surgery. Key individuals and their contributions to advancing the practice of surgery are also mentioned.

1) The document provides information on taking a genito-urological history, including collecting personal details like age, sex, occupation, habits, and current complaints.
2) Key details include how age relates to common renal diseases, differences in disease incidence between males and females, and risk factors like smoking.
3) Symptoms are categorized as urinary, andrological, or systemic, with urinary symptoms including pain, swelling, lower urinary tract symptoms, and changes to urine physical characteristics.
This document provides an overview of how to perform an abdominal examination. It discusses examining the abdomen by inspection, palpation, percussion and auscultation in a systematic manner. Key points covered include examining the abdomen in four quadrants, assessing for masses, tenderness, organomegaly and ascites. Common clinical tests discussed are Murphy's sign, McBurney's point and shifting dullness.

This document provides an overview of general surgery topics including:
- Common differential diagnoses for acute abdominal pain, abdominal masses, GI bleeding, and jaundice.
- Preoperative preparations and common postoperative surgical complications.
- Sections on thoracic surgery, stomach/duodenum, small intestine, hernia, bowel obstruction, intestinal ischemia, appendix, inflammatory bowel disease, diverticular disease, and colorectal neoplasms.
- Sections on liver, biliary tract, pancreas, spleen, breast, endocrinology, and skin lesions.
The patient presents with a chronic cough lasting 2 months with initially whitish sputum and now blood-streaked sputum. He also reports difficulty breathing and fever for the past 2 weeks. The doctor's approach involves taking a thorough history regarding cough onset and characteristics, associated symptoms, and appearance of any sputum to determine potential causes and guide appropriate examination and testing. Key considerations include pneumonia, lung cancer, and other infectious or inflammatory respiratory conditions.
1. The document provides guidance for conducting an abdominal examination, including assessing the patient's general appearance, palpating the abdomen, and auscultating bowel sounds and organs.
2. Key aspects of the exam include inspecting for scars, masses, or distension; auscultating for bruits over organs and arteries; and checking for shifting dullness, fluid thrills, or tenderness that could indicate ascites.
3. Findings should be concisely presented to the examiner, noting any abnormalities while also mentioning important negatives.
