Falciparum Malaria Revision Notes

Here's a quick summary of everything packed in (sourced from Harrison's Principles of Internal Medicine 22E, Goldman-Cecil Medicine, Park's Preventive Medicine, and Tripathi-aligned content):
SectionHigh-Yield Exam Points
DefinitionP. falciparum = most severe malaria; transmitted by female Anopheles mosquito
Life CycleSporozoite → Liver → Merozoites → RBCs → Gametocytes (crescent) → Mosquito
Key MechanismCytoadherence (PfEMP1) + Sequestration ★ → microvascular obstruction → organ damage
Fever PatternIRREGULAR (not periodic like P. vivax) — all RBC stages present simultaneously
Blood Smear ★★Multiple ring forms per RBC ★★ + Crescent/Banana gametocytes ★★ (pathognomonic) + Maurer's clefts
Severe ComplicationsCerebral malaria ★★ (coma/seizures), Blackwater fever ★ (haemoglobinuria), ARDS, AKF, Hypoglycaemia
DiagnosisThick + thin peripheral smear ★★; RDT (PfHRP2 antigen); >2% parasitaemia = severe
TreatmentIV Artesunate ★★ (severe); ACT-SP oral (uncomplicated); Primaquine (gametocytocidal)
Dental ★ BDSThrombocytopenia → bleeding risk; Defer elective dentistry; Quinine prolongs QT interval
Memory TrickFALCIPARUM = FATAL acronym; Banana gametocytes = P. falciparum only ★★
Key DifferentiatorNo hypnozoite (no liver dormancy) in P. falciparum ★ (unlike P. vivax/ovale)
One-line summary: P. falciparum = cytoadherence + sequestration → cerebral malaria + blackwater fever | Dx: banana gametocytes on smear ★★ | Rx: IV Artesunate 🎯

A super aesthetic, handwritten-style A4 portrait medical revision note page for "ACUTE SEVERE ASTHMA (Status Asthmaticus)" — KUHS Third Year BDS General Medicine exam notes. Looks exactly like a real student's ruled notebook page viewed from the top: white paper with faint blue horizontal lines, warm cream background, multiple coloured ink pens, neat and very organized. Dense, high-yield, professional dental student exam aesthetic. Emergency topic — urgent red accents throughout. TOP HEADER: - Large bold title "ACUTE SEVERE ASTHMA" in thick dark navy blue ink, double underlined, bright yellow highlighter streak underneath - "= STATUS ASTHMATICUS ★ EMERGENCY ★" in a bright red box/badge - Subtitle in small purple cursive: "Essentials of Medicine for Dental Students — Anil K Tripathi | KUHS 3rd Year BDS General Medicine" - Small hand-drawn alert clock/alarm with a small lung sketch beside it labelled "TIME-CRITICAL ★" SECTION 1 — DEFINITION (coral-red heading, double underlined): Neat blue handwriting: "ACUTE SEVERE ASTHMA (Status Asthmaticus) = An acute asthma attack that is SEVERE and FAILS TO RESPOND (highlighted yellow) to usual doses of inhaled bronchodilators and corticosteroids — a MEDICAL EMERGENCY ★ with risk of death."
