Going through questions:

The U.S. Preventive Services Task Force (USPSTF) recommends exercise interventions to prevent falls in community-dwelling adults ≥65 years of age who are at increased risk for falls (B recommendation). Falls occur at least once annually in approximately 30% of community-dwelling adults 65 years or older, and the USPSTF recommendation is based on studies that demonstrated improved fall-related outcomes for patients who participated in exercise programs.

Most evidence included group exercise, but supervised individual interventions also appeared to be of benefit. Gait, balance, and functional training; resistance training; flexibility work; and endurance training all appeared to be effective for reducing falls.

Other interventions associated with a reduction in falls or fall-related fractures include an annual fall risk assessment, assistive devices such as grab bars or walkers, and environmental assessment and modifications such as the removal of trip hazards from the home. However, the evidence for in-home assessment of environmental hazards is less robust.

There is no evidence for psychological evaluation in the prevention of falls. The USPSTF recommends against vitamin D supplementation to prevent falls in community-dwelling adults ≥65 years of age in those who are not known to have osteoporosis or vitamin D deficiency (D recommendation).

The pearly, papular appearance of this patient’s growth and the overlying telangiectasia makes the most likely diagnosis a nodular basal cell carcinoma. Basal cell carcinoma is the most common cutaneous malignancy. The incidence increases with age and occurs most commonly in Fitzpatrick skin types 1 and 2. The tumors appear most frequently on the face, scalp, ears, and neck, and less frequently on the torso and extremities. In-office dermoscopy may make the branching blood vessels or telangiectasias characteristic of basal cell carcinoma easier to see. In pigmented basal cell carcinomas, dermoscopy can highlight pigmented globules or other areas of abnormal deposition not easily seen without a dermatoscope. Basal cell carcinoma can be locally destructive but rarely metastasizes.

A 55-year-old male with a 40-pack-year smoking history comes to your office with the results of spirometry he had at a health fair. He quit smoking 1 year ago. He does not have any cough, dyspnea, wheezing, or sputum production, but he is concerned that the spirometry results show an FEV1/FVC ratio of 0.65 and an FEV1 of 70% of predicted, which indicates mild to moderate airflow obstruction.

Based on the best available evidence, which one of the following should you recommend in order to prevent the development of symptomatic airflow obstruction?

Answer: No treatment

There is no evidence from randomized, controlled trials to show that treating asymptomatic individuals who have mild to moderate airflow obstruction on spirometry prevents future respiratory symptoms or reduces subsequent declines in lung function. Partly for this reason, the U.S. Preventive Services Task Force and joint guidelines issued by the American College of Physicians, American College of Chest Physicians, American Thoracic Society, and European Respiratory Society recommend against screening for COPD in asymptomatic adults. Regardless of the results of this patient’s spirometry testing, treatment should not be initiated in the absence of symptoms. Detailed history-taking would be appropriate to detect patients who have limited their activity in order to avoid symptoms. A long-acting anticholinergic, a long-acting β-agonist (LABA), an inhaled corticosteroid (ICS), and combination therapy with an ICS and a LABA would not be recommended for this patient.

Family physicians are often required to manage dyspnea and evaluate common office spirometry results. The American Thoracic Society recommends complete pulmonary function testing with diffusing capacity of the lungs for carbon monoxide (DLCO) measurement when office spirometry suggests a restrictive pattern, which is defined as an FVC less than 80% of predicted. This level of pulmonary function testing gives further information about gas exchange and lung volumes, allowing a more definitive diagnosis.

The 6-minute walk test is used to evaluate the treatment response for known cardiopulmonary disease. Bronchoprovocation testing helps identify asthma triggered by allergens or exercise when office spirometry is normal.

Pearly papules of the penis are a benign, normal anatomic variant and are not sexually transmitted. They are dome-shaped, skin-colored papules 1–4 mm in size with a ring-like distribution around the corona of the glans penis, more commonly found along the dorsal side of the corona. They are present in up to 15%–40% of males. They most commonly occur in late puberty and early adulthood. Circumcised males have a lower incidence. The differential diagnosis includes condyloma acuminata; Tyson glands, which are modified sebaceous glands in a parafrenular distribution; or molluscum contagiosum.

Angiokeratomas are well-circumscribed red or blue papules that are 1–6 mm in size. Genital warts are raised masses that can be pearly and smooth or have a rough, cauliflower-like appearance, and are not confined to the penile corona. Lichen nitidus consists of discrete, hypopigmented, 1-mm papules that are not confined to the corona and can also occur on the upper extremities and abdomen. Squamous cell carcinoma may be endophytic (ulcerated) or exophytic (thickened skin or wart-like growths that can progress to a large, irregularly shaped, fungating mass).

Adhesive capsulitis is characterized by worsening shoulder pain that is hard to localize. The underlying pathology is contraction of the glenohumeral capsule resulting in decreased active and passive range of motion. It is an idiopathic condition but has an increased prevalence in patients with diabetes mellitus and hypothyroidism. Adhesive capsulitis is often self-limited but can persist for years in some patients. Nonsurgical treatment options include physical therapy, oral or intra-articular corticosteroids, acupuncture, and hydrodilatation.

Osteoarthritis is more common among older patients and typically develops more chronically than the subacute presentation of adhesive capsulitis. There is often a history of trauma, previous surgery, or repetitive work. Superior labrum anterior to posterior (SLAP) lesions can be acute (e.g., sustained during a fall on an outstretched hand) or chronic (e.g., in throwing athletes or other high-risk professions). Passive range of motion may be sustained. Infraspinatus tendinopathy may show pain with resisted external rotation. It may also arise due to acute injury or chronic repetitive overuse. Supraspinatus tendinopathy may present with normal strength but positive impingement testing as well as a positive Jobe test or empty can test.

“Forget the positive control, it’s the negative that matters.”

About prick test interpretation.

(As long as the positive is positive)

The neurodivergent urge to explode in frustration as the smoke alarm goes off for no reason while filling out a redundant long form of questions that don’t match their answer formats! And hives on my hands for no reason! And now wondering if they are from being exposed to something at the doctor's office yesterday!

AHHHHHH

Got an allergy patch test done recently because of my huge flare up (I have a post about it)

I had nickel and copper excluded because when I was really little, like 5, I had a huge reaction to cut grass and they did it then (it said metals, cats, dogs, cut grass)

I was told I'm allergic to linalool, which is in a lot of natural products and essential oils, and even a lot of household products.

And unfortunately, some natural products dont have to list it as its naturally occurring, which is just really unfair, cause it means I don't know what I can and cant use.

Anyone else have this allergy?

Patch Testing Dermatology

Patch testing dermatology is a great way to find out what’s causing your rash. It’s safe and effective for adults and children alike. It’s also a great option for determining if you have an allergic reaction to a product or substance.

During the test, different substances are placed on the skin and taped in place. The dermatologist then reads the results after two days.

It’s a quick and easy test

Allergy patch testing dermatology is a simple and effective test that identifies chemicals that can cause a skin rash called allergic contact dermatitis. It helps patients reduce symptoms and prevent recurrence of itchy, painful and red, itchy patches on the skin by eliminating allergens from their routine.

During the test, dermatologists place small aluminum discs (Finn chambers) with various allergens on tape on your back. The allergens are mixed into a “standard series” to provide a good chance of eliciting an allergic response.

The tests irritate the skin, but itching is minimal and typically clears within days of the appointment. Those with darker skin tones may experience discoloration, but this typically fades over the course of a week.

After two days, the dermatologist removes the allergy patch testing disks and interprets the results. For best results, patients should avoid any soaps, lotions or ointments on the test area before and during the procedure. They should also avoid wearing any clothing that could rub against the test site.

It’s safe

Unlike prick or scratch test methods, patch testing does not use needles to detect an allergic reaction. Instead, chemicals that mimic allergens are placed on patches and then applied to your skin. The patches are removed at your second appointment and then read by a dermatologist or doctor. The results will determine if you’re allergic to one or more of the chemicals that are causing your rash. The bigger the wheal on the patch, the more likely you are to be allergic to that substance.

The patches may irritate the skin, but this is normal and should clear within a few days. It’s also important to bring any health and safety data sheets or product packaging that can help us identify the allergens causing your rash.

Your dermatologist will create a plan to help you avoid the substances that are triggering your allergies. This will improve your symptoms and prevent your rash from returning. For this reason, it’s best to visit a board-certified dermatologist for this type of allergy testing.

It’s effective

Patch testing is a standard technique to help diagnose the cause of an itchy rash called allergic contact dermatitis. It can also be helpful in uncovering the cause of other types of skin irritations, such as burning and itching.

During the test, dermatologists apply patches that contain various allergens to the patient’s back. These include chemicals like latex, medications, fragrances, preservatives and metals. Each patch is held in place with hypoallergenic tape. The patches must remain on for 48 hours, and patients are encouraged to avoid showering or activities that may induce excessive sweating.

Patients should tell their doctors about any medications they are taking because some may interfere with the results of the test. This includes immunosuppressive drugs such as azathioprine, cyclosporine, tacrolimus and mycophenolate mofetil. These drugs inhibit the migration of Langerhans cells and prevent the activation, proliferation and maturation of T lymphocytes. This can lead to a false negative result in patch tests.

It’s affordable

If you are suffering from itchy, painful, scaly skin that appears without warning and does not go away even after using prescription creams and avoiding the offending substances, it could be a sign of allergic contact dermatitis. This is a common condition that can be caused by a wide range of things, including soaps, cosmetics, perfumes, jewelry, cleaning products, and plants.

Patch testing is a way to identify the substance that causes this allergic reaction, allowing you to avoid it and enjoy clearer, healthier skin. It also helps to prevent future flare-ups.

There are several ways to perform patch tests, but the most reliable and accurate method involves having your skin tested by a dermatologist. This usually requires 3 appointments over a week (Monday, Wednesday and Friday). It is important to bring health and safety data sheets or product packaging (which lists the individual allergen ingredients) with you to your appointment. Also, avoid applying any creams or ointments on the area of skin that will be tested.
