78y-came with loss of speech
This is an online e-log book to discuss our patient's de-identified health data shared after taking his / her / guardian's signed informed consent. Here we discuss our individual patients' problems through a series of inputs from the available global online community of experts to solve those patients' clinical problems with collective current best evidence-based information.
This E blog also reflects my patient-centered online learning portfolio and your valuable input in the comment box is welcome.
med case:
Who came c/o loss of speech for one month.
the patient was apparently asymptomatic till one month ago, then she was found in an unconscious state on the roadside then she was noticed by the attendees and was taken to the local hospital and treated by a local doctor for 3 days and then taken to an outside hospital, where CT brain was done=>Ischemic stroke was diagnosed, weakness and loss of speech => after 3-4 days they were transferred to other hospital (financial constraints)=>stayed there for 10 days and her power recovered and speech has improved and was discharged => after 10 days patient power deteriorated with decrease speech and was brought to our hospital.

Questions asked in today’s osce:-
Efficacy of amiodarone? In atrial fibrillation
In amiodarone-treated patients (N = 1,107), freedom from recurrent atrial fibrillation was 84% and 45% at 1 and 5 years, respectively, with no differences according to left ventricular function (P = 0.8754).
Amiodarone's efficacy in maintaining sinus rhythm and reducing the burden of atrial fibrillation is similar in the presence or absence of severe left ventricular dysfunction. Rhythm control with amiodarone is associated with comparable hospitalization and mortality rates to rate control in patients with and without left ventricular dysfunction.
