John woke up at 7am today and had gluten-free toast for breakfast (he is allergic to gluten). After breakfast he moved his bowels, which is when he noticed central chest pain/heaviness, radiating up to his left jaw. He also noticed some tingling down his left arm and was so nauseated that he vomited his breakfast. John immediately took his morning tablets of aspirin and Perindopril, which he takes for angina and hypertension. John tried resting but this didn’t help the pain. The pain was an 8/10 despite these medicines so he took 1g paracetamol and decided to present to you for further treatment. 1. What is the SAMPLE? Explain each

A mother calls in requesting an appointment for her son who has mentioned that he has had experienced some chest pain, lightheadedness, occasional palpitations, and slight episodes of shortness of breath. She also relates that he appears to be experiencing fatigue and reduced tolerance of activity. One of his fraternal uncles was diagnosed as having hypertrophic cardiomyopathy and had experienced similar symptoms before collapsing during a football game. She advised that she is very frightened, because her son wants to go back to school and participate in basketball. How do you handle this phone call? Recognizing the importance of the fact that the fraternal uncle was diagnosed with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, you review information about the condition. What types of diagnostic procedures would you anticipate being ordered to be performed? What results would indicate the presence of hypertrophic cardiomyopathy? If the resulting diagnosis is hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, what…
Perfusion Mrs Gloria reports that she is having increasing difficulty because she experiences severe pain in her calf muscles after walking for more than a city block. The pain subsides if she rests for a few minutes, but returns with activity. Her feet are cool and pale; pedal and posterior tibial pulses are not palpable, and femoral pulses are difficult to palpate. She lives in a downtown apartment and uses public transportation to travel across town to visit her husband’s grave weekly. What are the circulatory causes of her leg pain? Which risk factors would you expect to find in her history to support this conclusion? The doctor suggests that Mrs Gloria cease her visits to the cemetery since she has to walk a long way there to reach the grave site. Would you agree with this plan? Why or why not? What considerations or viewpoints influence your choice? Mrs Gloria says that she wears support stockings because her friend told her they help the circulation in her legs. How would you…
Callisto survives the accident and goes to jail. Many years later she is found slumped in her cell, quite confused and with apparent paralysis in her right arm. When the jailer speaks to her, she is unable to produce any clear speech. Callisto can understand very simple sentences, and her sight is not affected. It is determined that she has a vascular occlusion (blockage) in her internal carotid artery. Callisto’s blood pressure is markedly lower than would be expected under physiological conditions. Based on this information, how are these structures in brain affected (if they are). Provide justification. Short answers. 1. Broca's area 2. Right posterior cerebral artery 3. Autonomic nervous system

A patient attends her doctor complaining that her fingers feel extremely cold and often go very white in colour, especially in cool conditions or weather when they can become painful or numb. She also notices that, on warming up, her fingers become intensely red in colour for some time before returning to normal. The doctor makes a diagnosis of Raynaud's syndrome. This is a condition in which cutaneous (or skin) arterioles show an excessive tendency to vasoconstrict (or become narrow) especially in cool conditions or weather. Answer the following THREE questions in the box provided. 1. Why might vasconstriction lead to the symptoms described above? [ 4 marks] 2. What nerves are involved in stimulating the vasoconstriction? [2 marks] 3. Based on your answer to question 2, does this suggest a possible treatment for this condition?

Joe is studying for ANP. He is relaxed and resting. He just ate a big meal, so his digestive organs are very active. Explain why the precapillary sphincters feeding his resting muscles are closed tight, but the precapillary sphincters feeding the smooth muscle of his digestive organs are relaxed/open. How (what stimulus) causes those sphincters to relax? Explain how/why plasma is leaving his capillaries. Is this happening at the arterial end or the venous end? Use the terms capillary hydrostatic pressure, blood colloid osmotic pressure, and net filtration pressure. Indicate whether CHP is greater than or less than BCOP, and whether NFP is positive or negative.
Mary is a 55-year old overweight woman who has poor diet and does not exercise. One day while walking up the stairs she felt sharp pain in the left side of her chest, neck and in left arm. Her doctor told her that she experienced heart pain (angina) due to possible heart problems and needs to get some test done. While she is waiting for the results of her tests Mary asks you why she was feeling pain in her arm and neck if the problem was with her heart. Explain using appropriate physiological and anatomical details.
