In my opinion :
Case Review-
Must have tried using pictures.
Theory part is well explained
Case number 3 :

in this case of 55 yr old female with pnenumonia secondary to covid 19 and dm
In my opinion :in this case discussion regarding
case was good and treatment for patient expalined well
Case number 5 :
https://saichennuru.blogspot.com/
In my opinion : the ingestion of infectious cysts led to ameobic liver abscess.The patient who is also an alcoholic made his abscess worsen his condition.The flowcharts depicting the pathophysiology were presented very neatly.The treatment and efficacy of the drugs to be utilised are very clearly shown but more of the clinical pictures must have shown .Then there could be a clear cut analysis would have made easy for diagnosis.
Case number 6 :

In my opinion :
Answering was done in a point wise manner ,with nice detailing and information.reference links to answer information was appreciable and written in simple way with point information.
Case number 7 :
https://02shishirareddy.blogspot.com/
In my opinion :
review causes for electrolyte imbalance
thus the presences of electrolyte imbalance leads to significantly poor outcome among copd patient and it is interesting to know abt acidosis and very happy to read and get the knowledge abt respiratory acidosis
Case number 8 :

Reasoning was good and the diagrams used makes understanding easy.
Case number 9 :
https://15abhishek.blogspot.com/?m=1
In my opinion :
The patient was diagnosed with fever and pus in the urine.The history of fleshy mass like and foamy passage in his urine was enquired from his attenders which is suggestive of great communication with attenders of the patient. The patient renal function tests are shown clearly which are with impaired function.KUB X ray was also done showing the patient bilaterally.Adequate treatment and medicines were suggested to the patient.I really appreciate the presentation given.
Case number 10 :
https://santhoshdarimedi.blogspot.com
I agree with the opinion
evolution of symptomology is explained in point wise manner which is helpful in easy reading .
mechanism of pharmacological interventions are not explained. this should've been included.
flowcharts and pictures insertion along with these makes it perfect.
Q2-4
Patient centered data around the theme of renal failure patients with AKI, CKD and acute on CKD, captured by students from 2016 and 2019 batch in the links belowPatients with low back ache and renal failure
Q2) Share the link to your own case report of a patient that you connected with and engaged while capturing his her sequential life events before and after the illness and clinical and investigational images along with your discussion of that case.

Q3) (Testing peer review competency of the examinees) :
Please go through the cases in the links shared above and provide your critical appraisal of the captured data in terms of completeness, correctness and ability to provide useful leads to analyze the diagnostic and therapeutic uncertainties around the cases shared.
AKI:
https://laharikantoju.blogspot.com/2021/07/58-year-old-male-patient-elog-lahari.html?m=1
OVERVIEW
A 58 year old male patient came to casualty with chief complaints of:

Appraisal :
Case history was taken well and examination was very well done
Negative points :
It would be better if fever chart is added as it was treated with strict temp monitoring as it would be better understood improvement of the case was not well mentioned
My analysis :
This is a case of Acute kidney injury( AKI) 2° to UTI, associated with Denovo - DM -2
With ? Right HEART FAILURE,
With K/C/O - HTN ( Not on Rx)
-AKI causes a build-up of waste products in your blood and makes it hard for your kidneys to keep the right balance of fluid in your bodyand return of creatinine to the base line and symptoms less then 3 months indicating it to be a AKI

Appraisal :
History was taken well
Negative points :
There are no pictures of pedal edema .
Proper chronological order of symptoms apperance was not done
No IO charting was done though it was told it should be strictly monitored
My analysis:
This is case of Acute renal failure (intrinsic)
Grade 1 L4-L5 Spondylodiscitis, Multifocal infectious Spondylodiscitis
Hyperuricemia 2° to Renal failure
Uraemia induced tremors( resolved)
Delirium 2° to septic /Uremic encephalopathy (resolving)
CKD:
https://krupalatha54.blogspot.com/2021/07/a-49-yr-old-female-with-generalized.html?m=1

- She also has h/o vomitings since 3 days, with food as content, non - projectile , non bilious.
Apprisal:
History was taken well.
Good lab work clear evaluation was done
Negative points :
There are no clinical pics of the symptoms
Proper chronological order of symptoms apperance was not done
Fever chart was not included.
No IO charting was done though it was told it should be strictly monitoredit would have been better if urine was sent for eosinophils for interatial disease
My analysis:
This is case of CKD ?
Chronic interstitial nephritis secondary to plasma cell dyscariasis, (multiple myeloma - 70% plasmacytosis).
PATIENT WITH COMA AND RENAL FAILURE :
https://ananyapulikandala106.blogspot.com/2021/06/a-35yr-old-female-elog.html
Overview :
A 35 yr old female with Fever and Diarrhea since 5 days( 4 to 5 times a day with blood discharge).
Back pain( 5 days ago) with abdominal pain and chest pain.
Appraisal:
With good fever charting with all the necessary information.
History was taken detailed way
All the tests were properly done
Negative points :
I could not find the negative data in the elog
My analysis :
It could be the hypoxia which could have caused the permanent brain damage which was the reason for her vegetative state . Subjectively she was told better but objectively no improvement was Seen. Hospitalisation has increased the infection to the bed sore it would have been better if discharged early as it was permanent damage and was impossible to treat anyway.
Q4: Testing scholarship competency of the examinees ( ability to read comprehend, analyze, reflect upon and discuss captured patient centered data as in their 'original' answers to the assignment for May 2021):
Please analyze the above linked patient data by first preparing a problem list for each patient (based on the shared data) and then discuss the diagnostic and therapeutic uncertainty around solving those problems. Also include the review of literature around sensitivity and specificity of the diagnostic interventions mentioned and same around efficacy of the therapeutic interventions mentioned for each patient.
Analysis of the data
https://ananyapulikandala106.blogspot.com/2021/06/a-35yr-old-female-elog.html
Analysis of A 35 yr old female with Fever and Diarrhea since 5 days( 4 to 5 times a day with blood discharge).
Back pain( 5 days ago) with abdominal pain and chest pain
Vegetative state of the patient could be due to hypoxia which could have caused the permanent brain damage which was the reason for her vegetative state . Subjectively she was told better but objectively no improvement was Seen.
Link supporting the data
Intermittent Fever spikes can be explained due to the bed sores clearly explained through culture of the sores
Sepsis might be the reason for encephalopathy by altering the blood brain barrier

Q 5) Testing scholarship competency in
logging reflective observations on your concrete experiences of this last month : (10 marks)
Reflective logging of one's own experiences is a vital tool toward competency development in medical education and research.
The telemedical learning from the hospital has been a new experience and we learnt quite lot of things through reflective observation during lockdown. it's a bit challenging as we have just entered internship ,We have learnt elogging of the cases in a very short span of time and made juniors do so. I could answer the questions from juniors easily as I have been part of many discussion in ICU and wards . By doing this assignment I could view many cases and many case scenarios through which I learned many things
