Your client suffers from autoimmune-mediated, insulin insufficiency. Following a large meal rich in proteins (accompanied by a glass of wine), Your client takes her insulin injection. Within minutes she begins to experience palpitations and notices a slight tremor in her hands. Mary does not feel dizzy and is able to walk to the fridge and pour herself a glass of orange juice. What rating classification would be used to describe the severity of Mary’s hypoglycemia? Question 10 options: a) Mild hypoglycemia b) Moderate hypoglycemia c) Severe hypoglycemia d) She did not experience hypoglycemia

Figure 16.14 Goiter, a disease caused by iodine deficiency, results in the inability of the thyroid gland to form T3 and T4 . The body typically attempts to compensate by producing greater amounts of TSH. Which of the following symptoms would you expect goiter to cause? a. Hypothyroidism, resulting in weight gain, cold sensitivity, and reduced mental activity. b. Hyperthyroidism, resulting in weight loss, profuse sweating and increased heart rate. C. Hyperthyroidism, resulting in weight gain, cold sensitivity, and reduced mental activity. d. Hypothyroidism, resulting in weight loss, profuse sweating and increased heart rate.
As a new, professional Laboratory Scientist, how do you think diabetes, regardless of kind or origin, is initially screened for or ruled out in clinical practice? Could you provide a list of common laboratory tests and explain why they are requested?
Why is insulin not given orally but its injected into the body?
Which set of serum values would be most typical of a patient with a vitamin D deficiency? a. high serum phosphate, high serum calcium, and high PTH b. low serum phosphate, high serum calcium, and high PTH c. low serum phosphate, high serum calcium, and low PTH d. low serum phosphate, low serum calcium, and high PTH e. high serum phosphate, low serum calcium, and low PTH Which cause-and-effect relationship is correct for a deficiency of active vitamin D (calcitriol)? a. bone formation is increased because vitamin D blocks the action of PTH on bone resorption b. osteoporosis, but not osteomalacia, is associated with a calcitriol deficiency because calcitriol synergizes with PTH in its action on bone c. hypophosphatemia occurs because of decreased intestinal phosphate absorption d. hypercalcemia occurs because of decreased intestinal calcium absorption
Select the FOUR statements below that describe an individual who does not require insulin injections (insulin independent). Please explain. Beta cells secrete insulin in response to increased blood glucose levels. Beta cells secrete insulin in response to decreased blood glucose levels. Urine samples indicate high levels of glucose. Urine samples indicate no glucose. Muscle, liver cells, and adipose tissue are permeable to glucose. Muscle, liver, cells and adipose tissue are impermeable to glucose. Water excretion is normal. Extra water is excreted.
In patients with type 2 diabetes, cells no longer respond to the hormone insulin. What change has likely occurred in these cells to make them insulin resistant?
In a patient with suspected primary hyperthyroidism associated with Graves' disease, one would expect the following laboratory serum results: T4 _________, TSH _________. 1) Increased, increased 2) Decreased, normal 3) Increased, normal 4) Increased, decreased 5) Normal, increased no references, just homework.
Why do you suppose individuals with diabetes must receive insulin subcutaneously by injection rather than orally?
Which of the following statements best describes diseases of the thyroid gland? Hyperthyroidism is associated with increased metabolism driven by increased sympathetic nervous drive. Children with cretinism have elevated levels of thyroid hormones and catecholamine-induced tachycardia. Hashimoto’s disease is more common in men than women and is associated with a goitre and unexplained weight gain. Grave’s disease is associated with overproduction of antibodies that cause the destruction of the thyroid gland.
Hyperinsulinism, the result of an excessive insulin dose or an insulin-secreting tumor, can result in brain damage. Explain.
Very briefly discuss and characterise insulin including its main actions.
A physician examines a patient who reports that he has experienced excessive sweating, irritability, and feverish episodes. Assay of hormones in blood reveal that thyroid hormone levels are abnormally high, and TSH levels are low. An RAIU (radioactive iodine uptake scan) reveals a hot spot on the thyroid, indicating a localized region of intense iodine uptake. What do you predict that this patient’s diagnosis will be? How would you attempt to treat such a condition?
