Our two minute talks this week were about endocrine disorders, specifically the clinical features of hypoadrenalism, hypothyroidism and hyperprolactinaemia. This has stimulated me to be more aware of prolactin levels in my patients with unexplained symtoms.
For next week we will be focussing on the eye with topics of the sore/red eye, visual loss and diplopia. So two minutes please on the work up and management of patients with these common problems.
The reading for next week will be Does This Patient Have Temporal Arteritis? Smetana and Shmerling. JAMA.2002; 287: 92-101. Get it via the elibrary. Hopefully we can start the meeting on time and be able to discuss the paper this time.
Interesting topics
Miller-Fisher Syndrome
And for those who fancy a trip to the real library, why not have a look at An unusual variant of acute idiopathic polyneuritis (syndrome of ophthalmolplegia, ataxia and areflexia). M Fisher:
New England Journal of Medicine, 1956, 255: 57-65.
