  4. Unequal pupils: uncal herniation.
  5. Pinpoint pupils: Pontine hemorrhage and opiate overdose.
  6. Tachycardia, desaturation/hypoxia, chest pain, hypotension and ECG (sinus tachy/RBBB/S1 Q3 T3 pattern) and high D-dimer: pulmonary embolism.
  7. Chest pain, Diaphoresis, hypotension (inferior wall RV), hypertension, normotensive, ECG (ST elevation), regional wall abnormality in echo and raised cardiac enzymes: MI.
  8. Raised D-dimer levels: pulmonary embolism
  9. High lactate: ischemia
  10. High TTG (transglutaminase) levels are seen in celiac disease.
  11.  Hypertriglyceridemia with acute pancreatitis can have normal amylase levels.
