Actually it is lack of insight.

I am quoting from Oxford Core Psychiatry p18
"As s technical term insight means a correct awareness of one's own mental condition.
It is best described in terms of four criteria:
1. Awareness of oneself as presenting phenomena that other people consider abnormal.

2. Recognition that these phenomena are abnormal.
3. Acceptance that these abnormal phenomena are caused by one's own mental illness
4. Awareness that treatment is required.

I am following your questions Bulimia.
Please note that I have attached references to a lot of my answers.
Regarding your post op fluid therapy question(Bulimia) - I went through the AMC
commentary you referred to. That was a different scenerio. A man who was dehydrated
and had pyloric stenosis. This is not the same as post op fluid therapy. I request you to go
through the perioperative and postoperative care from SCOTT before you make up your
mind.
a lady came to you at 12 weeks pregnancy for antenatal check.Her 1st child was born with
spina bifida.Which of the following investigation would not be useful in assesing the second
baby...
a-maternal triple or tetra test at 16-18 week

b-amniocentesis for acetylcholine estrase at 11-13 weeks

Posted: Fri Sep 29, 2006 1:02 pm Post subject: Spigelian hernia
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Spigelian hernia
A Spigelian hernia is an acquired ventral hernia through the linea semilunaris, the line
where the sheaths of the lateral abdominal muscles fuse to form the lateral rectus sheath.
Spigelian hernias are nearly always found above the level of the inferior epigastric vessels,
and most often occur where the semicircular line - fold of Douglas - cross the linea
semilunaris. Commonly, the patient is over the age of 50 years. Men and women are
equally affected.
The patient presents with pain that is localised to the hernial site and is aggravated by any
movement that raises intra-abdominal pressure. Later, the pain becomes more dull,
constant, and diffuse.
A soft, reducible mass may be present in the lower abdominal area which disappears on
pressure. When the mass is reduced, the hernial orifice can usually be palpated. Diagnosis
is more difficult when the hernia dissects within the layers of the abdominal wall - internal
and external obliques - or may be located at a distance from the linea semilunaris.
Ultrasound and CT scan may help to confirm the diagnosis.
Spigelian hernias have a high incidence of incarceration and should be repaired. Treatment
is by primary aponeurotic closure.

Change Doxycycline to Erythromycin (Safe or relatively safe during the pregnancy:
Amoxycillin/Ampicillin/Cephalosporine/Erythomycin/Rifampicin/
Trimethoprim/Methyldopa/ - Beischer , p 105)
11.Pain relief in labour talk to pt.who is 20/40 pregnant; P0G1.She is very concerned
about pain in labour. ( Beischer, p. 411)
Ask why she is worried about pain? Any particular reason? What is her understanding
about pain relief during the labour ? CS / normal labour.
Discuss pharmacological, sedative ( Diazepam max 20 mg ) and hypnotics, tranquillisers (
major: phenothiazines - chlorpromazine, promethazine, or minor: diazepam ), ( analgesics
(non-narcotic: aspirin, paracetamol, codeine; narcotic: pethidine 50-100 mg IM; Morphine
10-15mg IM; SE: respiratory depression, nausea & vomiting, tachycardia, postural
hypotension and delayed gastric emptying). Pethidine is preferred and usually given IM
100 mg; it is given by I>V route in some centres either intermittently in small doses 25mg
over 1-2 minutes every 1-3 hours or self administered by the women ( PCA patient
controlled analgesia)The usual duration of narcotics drugs is 2-4 hours. Preferably such
drugs should not be administered within 1 hour of delivery and if it is the baby should be
given Naloxone ( 0.02mg) IM immediately after birth. During this period inhalation or
regional block are preferable; Narcotics are CI in women receiving MAO inhibitors.
The use of sedatives, hypnotics and minor tranquillisers varies considerably in obstetric
practice in different communities. Many practitioners rely on single injection of Pethidine
100 mg IM with either prochlorperazine (Stemetil) 12,5 mg or metoclopramide HCL
(Maxolon) 10 mg epidural analgesia for pain relief in labour.
Inhalational analgesics: Nitrous Oxide (NO) in concentration of 50% is equivalent to 15 mg
of Morphine. Nitrous oxide/oxygen given by mask on demand; It is useful for analgesia
during the late first stage and second stage (i.e. during delivery) in a 50-70%
concentration with the oxygen. In their late fist stage of labour the women sleeps between
contractions but rouses and breathes on the mask when the contraction begins.
Advantages: safety, reasonable analgesia, on-toxic and non-irritating to respiratory
passages, quickly absorbed and eliminated, uterine contractions unaffected (no
prolongation of labour or postpartum atonicity), vomiting rare; Disadvantages:
requirement of machine to deliver the gas and disorientation of some women
;Occasionally, women will not use the mask because of felling of suffocation or because of
disorientation.
Mention : Local analgesia/Epidural/Paracervical block. Discuss if you have time.
Epidural nerve block: the local analgesic is injected extrathecally into epidural space; the
extent of analgesia is determined largely by the volume and concentration of drug
injected; to control pain of late labour, a block of segments T10 L1 is adequate; for
Caesarean section a higher block T8 or even T6 is needed; low dose epidural analgesia
(0.125 Bupivacaine) increases mobility in labour and abolish the urge to push (pushing
reflex) but not ability to push so that normal spontaneous delivery is still possible.
Although epidural analgesia is associated with a higher incidence of forceps delivery it
must be recognised that women who require epidural analgesia for pain relief are more
likely to require forces delivery, usually because of dystocia resulting from
occipitoposterior position.
Indication for epidural: pain relief; symptomatic heart disease the pain and distress of
labour is relieved, however extreme care is necessary if women has a fixed cardiac output
(e.g. mitral or aortic stenosis, pulmonary hypertension); hypertensive disorders
(preeclampsia/eclampsia, chronic hypertension), cerebrovascular disease (intracranial
aneurism and angioma are usual indication); incoordinate uterine action (elimination of
pain and fear often help normalize the activity); breech and twin delivery( opinion is divide
on the value of epidural analgesia in these conditions: the relaxation of pelvic floor is
advantageous but the lack of stimulus for the woman to push can lead to a higher
interference rate; Contraindications for epidural analgesia: opposition by the woman;
Recent antepartum haemorrhage( because compensatory vascular reflexes are partly
abolished, sudden haemorrhage may produce marked hypotension; suspected
cephalopelvic disproportion; sepsis ( in proposed area of operation);sensitivity to local
analgesic agents; DIC ( sever preeclampsia - predispose to haemorrhage in the epidural
space ).
Complication of epidural analgesia: toxicity (from overdosage and/or intravascular
injection; hypotension; uterine hypotonia- occurs in 5-10% of women in early labour but
usually activity return in 15-30 minutes; collapse (with hypotension and apnoea may be
due to toxic effect of the drug); headache (may result from accidental puncture of the dura
and leakage of CSF; this can be treated by insertion of epidural at higher level; after the
delivery Hartmann solution is infused into epidural catheter; woman should be nursed flat,
adequately hydrated aspirin, codeine, paracetamol ; loss of sensation may occur in
bladder ( causing over distension);loss of bearing -down reflex, resulting in higher
incidence of assisted delivery; backache
Majority of the above complications are rare, however they need experienced personnel in
this type of analgesia; Advantages of epidural analgesia: woman alert, cooperative
reduced risk of inhalation of vomitus; Disadvantage of epidural analgesia: need for skilled
personnel, the occasional serious complication, tendency to slow the labour (particularly
second stage) increased incidence of operative delivery; intraoperative nausea, vomiting
or restlessness in some women.
In Caesarean section, regional analgesia has a number of advantages over general
anaesthesia participation of the parents in the birth, better postoperative pain relief,
early mobility, less fever, blood loss is 50 % less than with general anaesthesia.
Disadvantages are that the method may fail, the woman feels pain and may require a
general anaesthetic; it is technically more difficult to extract the infants head from the
uterus, especially if a Pfannestiniel incision is used, because abdominal muscles are not
completely relaxed;
Paracervical block: LA (6-10 mg of 0.25 Bupivacaine) injected beneath the mucosa of
vagina in each lateral fornix. Acupuncture;
Incidence of serious neurological complications due to epidural analgesia:
Paraplegia, a severe complication to epidural analgesia rare.
Because of the rarity of permanent neurological damage resulting from epidural analgesia,
it is difficult to estimate its incidence. In a combined series of more than 50 000 epidural
anaesthetics, only three patients suffered permanent leg weakness (0.006% - American
Journal of Anaesthesia , Kane 1981)

13.Dizzines/Vertigo 60 yo history/DDX
14. CHEST PAIN: History/ (Pericarditis) DDx: MI/Angina/PE/Aorta dissection
50-year-old train driver, c/o chest pain. From the history: pain for the last 6 hours,
constant, 8/10, radiates to the back (alleviating/aggravating factors?). Non-smoker, had
history of chest infection a 3/52 ago. Vital signs pulse 96 regular, BP 140/97, Temp.
37.4 C. Physical exam constant noise during auscultation? Not murmur; probably
pleural rub
ACUTE PERICARDITIS: chest pain, which may be intense, mimicking acute MI, but
characteristically sharp, pleuritic and positional (relived by leaning forward) worse on
inspiration; fever and palpitations are common
Common causes: idiopathic; infections (particularly viral influenza, Coxsackie A/B) acute
MI, metastatic neoplasm, radiation therapy for the tumour (up to 20 years earlier),
connective tissue disease (SLE, RA) drug reactions (procainamide, hydralazine),
autoimmune following heart surgery of MI several weeks/months later (Dresslers sy).
Physical Examination: rapid or irregular pulse, coarse pericardial friction rub which may
vary in intensity and is loudest with pt. sitting forward.
Laboratory/ECG: Diffuse ST elevation (concave upwards) usually present in all leads
except aVR and V1.CXR: increased size of cardiac silhouette if large (> 250 ml) pericardial
effusion is present, with water bottle configuration ECHO: most sensitive test for
detection of pericardial effusion which commonly accompanies acute pericarditis;
Treatment: Aspirin 650 975 mg qid or NSAID (e.g. indomethacin 25 75 mg qid); for
severe refractory pain, Prednisone 40-60mg daily and tapered over several weeks or
months. Anticoagulants are relatively contraindicated in acute pericarditis because of risk
of pericardial haemorrhage. ( Harrison, p583)
