JULY MONTHLY ASSESSMENT

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


Please go through one student's entire answer paper from this link, the one who is closest to your own roll number:


and share your peer review of each answer with your qualitative insights into what was good or bad about the answer.

Case 1 :

 My review : 
Evolution of symptomatology has been very well explained with a proper timeline for clear understanding. The mechanism of action has also been depicted well. 


Case 2 : 

 My review :  
I agree with the probable cause given by peer as their is consumption of alcohol by the patient will cause changes in the kidney and liver functions which will cause the retention and decrease in filtration which will cause increase in the pressure of blood.


Case 3 : 

My review : 
The given case is about cerebral ataxia and the patient has slurring speech and deviation of mouth. The case well presented with pharmacological aspects. 


Case 4 : 

My review :
The peer got up with the exact findings that is RVD positive as the patient had a high-grade fever for 2 months, dysphagia for 2months, cough on eating/drinking for 2 months, hoarseness of voice and TB positive. So, I agree with the peer findings.
Flow charts presented are good for understanding. 


Case 5: 

My review : 
(Insights :- The pathopyshiology was clearly explained with beautiful flow charts and what is the primary etiology of the patient's problem was clearly explained).
Due to consumption of local alcohol (toddy) ,it is the factor for liver abscess.alcohol consumption has more effect in liver.right lobe of liver is more effected due to more blood supply to it .
Indications are
• large abscess more than 6 cm
• Left lower abscess
• abscess not responding to drug 



Case 6: 

My review : 
The symptomatology has been very well explained with the help of a hand-drawn diagram, the etiology is very well supported with the help of a flowchart that appeals to the reader each subquestion has been made visible which enhances the readability of the document

Each pharmacological intervention has been explained in-depth with comprehensive language.



Case 7: 
My review : I agree with my peer’s opinion. This is a case of cortical vein thrombosis with hemorrhagic venous  infarction in right posterior temporal lobe with and iron deficiency anemia. Required investigations were done and MRI confirmed cortical vein thrombosis to resolve that clexane was prescribed. Clexane ( enoxaparin) low molecular weight heparin binds and potentiates antithrombin III. Further , seizures were seen due to persisting excitable foci by abnormal firing of neurons. All required treatment was given and progress in the patients condition was seen. Neurological diseases are tricky and this patient was dealt with adequate care which resulted in this better health.


Case 8: 
My review : I agree with her opinion. This is a case of viral pneumonia secondary to COVID -19. Given the ongoing pandemic situation, this patient tested positive for COVID -19 and was admitted. Further investigations revealed impaired CBP and respiratory exam was abnormal with vesicular sounds. Steroids were given along with additional O2 , nebuliation and antipyretics. Vitamins were also prescribed. And patient was subsequently discharged upon betterment. The SARS-Cov-2 virus has been rapidly spreading causing respiratory distress progressing to ARDS and proving fatal. The medical intervention for this patient was given before the symptoms worsened to an irreversible state and the patient got better. Appropriate treatment at the earliest is the best way to deal with the ongoing pandemic. Patient should be quarantined until he becomes negative for COVID-19.


Case 9:

My review : 
Case of atherosclerosis. Anatomical site is blood vessels, due to arterial thrombosis arteries have become hard and narrow. Hypertension is observed. Cardiorenal syndrome type 4 is observed. Drugs like tab dytor, tab cardivas, tab digoxin are recommended.The presentation is clear and good.


Case 10: 
My review : 
This is a case of acute coronary syndrome. The patient came to OPD with shortness of breath . She is known case of HTN and DM. The review is very well written in the form of nice flow chart about her past illness to present illness. And risk factors of DM and HTN point to a cardiac origin is also explained. In the review indications and contradictions of PCI is very well explained. The patient is treated for all her symptoms.



Q2) Share the link to your own case report of a patient that you connected with and engaged while capturing his her sequential life events before and after the illness and clinical and investigational images along with your discussion of that case. 


Q3) (Testing peer review competency of the examinees) :

Please go through the cases in the links shared above and provide your critical appraisal of the captured data in terms of completeness, correctness and ability to provide useful leads to analyze the diagnostic and therapeutic uncertainties around the cases shared.

dribbling / decrease of urine out put:1week

fever :1 week

SOB  :1week  

     Appraisal :

Case history was taken well and examination was very well done 

    Negative points :

It would be better if fever chart is added as it was treated with strict temp monitoring as it would be better understood improvement of the case was not well mentioned

    My analysis :

 This is a case of Acute kidney injury( AKI) 2° to UTI, associated with Denovo - DM -2

With ? Right HEART FAILURE,

With K/C/O - HTN ( Not on Rx)

-AKI causes a build-up of waste products in your blood and makes it hard for your kidneys to keep the right balance of fluid in your bodyand return of creatinine to the base line and symptoms less then 3 months indicating it to be a AKI

Acute on ckd :

No IO charting was done though it was told it should be strictly monitoredit would have been better if urine was sent for eosinophils for interatial disease

      My analysis:

This is  case of CKD ?

 Chronic interstitial nephritis secondary to plasma cell dyscariasis, (multiple myeloma - 70% plasmacytosis).


PATIENT WITH COMA AND RENAL FAILURE :

https://ananyapulikandala106.blogspot.com/2021/06/a-35yr-old-female-elog.html

      Overview : 

A 35 yr old female with Fever and Diarrhea since 5 days( 4 to 5 times a day with blood discharge).

Back pain( 5 days ago) with abdominal pain and chest pain.

     Appraisal: 

With good fever charting with all the necessary information.

History was taken detailed way 

All the tests were properly done 

     Negative points : 

I could not find the negative data in the elog  

      My analysis : 

It could be the hypoxia which could have caused the permanent brain damage which was the reason for her vegetative state . Subjectively she was told better but objectively no improvement was Seen. Hospitalisation has increased the infection to the bed sore it would have been better if discharged early as it was permanent damage and was impossible to treat anyway.

Q4: Testing scholarship competency of the examinees ( ability to read comprehend, analyze, reflect upon and discuss captured patient centered data as in their 'original' answers to the assignment for May 2021):


Please analyze the above linked patient data by first preparing a problem list for each patient (based on the shared data) and then discuss the diagnostic and therapeutic uncertainty around solving those problems. Also include the review of literature around sensitivity and specificity of the diagnostic interventions mentioned and same around efficacy of the therapeutic interventions mentioned for each patient. 

Analysis the data

Analysis of  A 35 yr old female with Fever and Diarrhea since 5 days( 4 to 5 times a day with blood discharge).

Back pain( 5 days ago) with abdominal pain and chest pain

Vegetative state of the patient could be due to  hypoxia which could have caused the permanent brain damage which was the reason for her vegetative state . Subjectively she was told better but objectively no improvement was Seen.

Link supporting the data 


Intermittent Fever spikes can be explained due to the bed sores clearly explained through culture of the sores 




Sepsis might be the reason for encephalopathy by altering the blood brain barrier

Q 5) Testing scholarship competency in  

logging reflective observations on your concrete experiences of this last month : (10 marks) 


Reflective logging of one's own experiences is a vital tool toward competency development in medical education and research. 

The telemedical learning from the hospital has been a new experience and we learnt a lot of things through reflective observation during lockdown. It’s a bit challenging as we have just entered internship,We have learnt elogging of the cases in a very short span of time and made juniors do so. I could answer the questions from juniors easily as I have been part of many discussion in ICU and wards. By doing this assignment I could view many cases and many case scenarios through which I learned many things.
