Thanks for the extras! I also thought of a little bit more:

24 hour old jaundice is abnormal, normal is over 24 hrs old
Parkland Formula: 4 ml(kg)(%BSA)=24 hour fluid replacement with ½ first 8 hrs and 2nd ½ second and third 8 hrs ie; 4ml(54.5 kg)(60%)=13080 with 6540 first 8hr and 3270 second and third 8hr
PR Interval is 0.12-0.20 and QRS Complex is 0.04-0.12

Addison's (AD-Aldosteron Deficiency to remember) disease- ↓NA and ↑ K, HYPOGLYCEMIA.
Remember – if there is low/absent NA+ in the body, than nothing holds H2O in. Thus, ↑Urine output, Hypotension +, Hypovolumia, dehydration and ↓ CO.
Major function of Aldosteron – is to keep NA+ in & K+ out of the body .

Cushing’s (too much glucocorticoids) syndrome is opposite to Addison’s. Adrenal hypersecretion of glucocorticoids. ↑ NA ↓K and Ca, HYPERGLYCEMIA.
When assessing think of the cushion (moon face, buffalo hump, truncal obesity).

Pheochromocytoma - HTN is a hallmark.

@ 20 weeks of gestation - fundus is @ umbilicus.

Neutrophil count - 1800 - 7800; indicate +/- of infection
