The Dementia Umbrella Dementia is an umbrella term that describes a collection of symptoms that are caused by disorders affecting the brain. It is not one specific disease. Dementia affects thinking, behavior and the ability to perform every day tasks, and brain function is affected enough to interfere with the person's normal social or working life. The most common type of dementia is Alzheimer's disease. #Dementia #Umbrella #Differential #Diagnosis #Types #Subtypes #Classification #Geriatrics

Pulmonary Embolism Rule-Out Criteria In the United States, the workup rate for PE is astonishingly high, with 1-2% of all ED patients receiving a CTPA for PE and a low yield (~5-10% of CTPAs are positive for PE). Thus, major medical societies such as ACEP and the American College of Physicians recommend the use of risk stratification tools [1,2]. For some reason, approximately 25% of patients who are low risk AND PERC negative still receive d-dimer or imaging for PE, despite the risk of PE being exceptionally low. #Diagnosis #Pulmonary #Embolism #RuleOut #Criteria #PERC #HADCLOTS #Mnemonic
