CPS JAN-2022 QUESTION 5


Due to the Covid-19 pandemic I couldn’t actively participate in clinical problem solving During my 2ND MBBS by taking case reports , so  I try to use every opportunity I get for case taking.

 

While taking a case we come across a lot of patients, some co-operative and some not, some happy to help some just fed-up of answering the same questions again and again . This process of case taking helps us in creating a bond with the patient and their family.

 

To better understand the problems of the patient we must first make them comfortable, they are usually tensed because of their condition/illness so we make them calm and ask the question in such a way that they mention minute details significant tot their Illness, like whatwere they doing when they observed the first symptom.

 

Once for taking a case report I took a colleague along because he’s better well versed with the vernacular languagethan me,  which is really helpful when taking a case report. The patient found It weird me asking the collleague to translate whatever I say after every line. So, I started talking to patient directly, it helped !!! , After a while patient was comfortable and gave me a detailed history about his occupation , his schedule from the moment he woke up to the time he slept before and after he became ill. Some of theother details he mentioned included

l He stopped going towork because he started feeling weaker day by day.

l He admitted about his alcohol dependency which was about 90ml/day which after onset of hisillnes became 180ml/day( he says it made him sleep better) .

l He was a beedi smoke (5 pack years) for 10 years but quit a year ago because said it worsens your condition if you get covid.

 

 

We were supposed to present the case , but unfortunately I couldn’t due to certain reasons..

 

 

ACKNOWLEDMENT

I would like to thank  Dr. Rakesh Biswas sir for providing me with such an oppurtunity.

And,,  DR. Vamshi Krishna sir, DR. Zain Alam sir , Dr. Durga Krishna  sir , Dr. Rashmita ma’am and others , we are really thankfull for the patience with which you people guided  and taught us the Systemic examination, Answered our queries . AGAIN AND AGAIN…..

CASE-1:-. M ULTIPLE MYELOMA DIAGNOSTIC INTERVENTION:-   SERUM PROTEIN ELECTROPHORESIS: Electrophoresis is a method of separating proteins based on their physical properties. Serum is placed on a specific medium, and a charge is applied. The net charge (positive or negative) and the size and shape of the protein commonly are used in differentiating various serum proteins.   Components of Serum Protein Electrophoresis   The pattern of serum protein electrophoresis results depends on the fractions of two major types of protein: albumin and globulins. Albumin, the major protein component of serum, is produced by the liver under normal physiologic conditions. Globulins comprise a much smaller fraction of the total serum protein content. The subsets of these proteins and their relative quantity are the primary focus of the interpretation of serum protein electrophoresis.   Albumin, the largest peak, lies closest to the positive electrode. The next five components (globulin...
