Question # 393 in book format; # 402 in the software format

The Explanation for the answer to this question includes the sentence: "Remember Parkinson's does not have a resting tremor."

This sentence should read: "The tremor associated with Parkinson's Disease has a characteristic appearance. The tremor is most obvious when the hand, arm or leg is at rest, but it subsides with movement - unlike this patient's presentation. It is also important to remember that a hand tremor can take the form of a back-and-forth motion of the thumb and forefinger, as though rolling a small object between them. This is sometimes called "pill rolling."


Question # 405, CD-ROM
The question is truncated when it displays. The full text of the question should read: "A 56-year-old comatose obese woman is brought to the ED by her husband. She has had several days of headache, and has been "sleepy." On the day of admission, she became unresponsive. On exam, she has hyperreflexia on the left (arm and leg), spasticity in the left upper and lower extremity, and seems to withdraw from painful stimuli, less well on the left. There is no atrophy or fasciculations of the muscles in the left arm or leg. Funduscopic exam shows bilateral papilledema; the right pupil is large and unreactive, while the left is midpoint and reacts to light."
(The question appears correctly in the book format of IM Q&A vol 3, where it is Question number 396.)
