- Yasuo Yamagata, a 63-year-old, experienced severe back pain for several weeks before visiting his family physician. He also complained of fatigue and looked pale. Blood analysis revealed a red blood cell count of 3.2 × 106/μl (normal 4.2–5.0 × 106/μl), a white blood cell count of 2800/μl (normal 5000/μl), a sedimentation rate of 30 mm/h (normal <20 mm/h) and a serum IgG of 4500 mg/dl (normal 600–1500 mg/dl). IgA and IgM levels were well below normal. Skeletal survey showed lytic lesions in vertebrae, ribs and skull. A bone marrow sample revealed 75% infiltration with plasma cells. Elevated protein in urine was confirmed to be Bence-Jones protein (immunoglobulin light chains). The patient was diagnosed with IgG λ multiple myeloma and began an immediate chemotherapy regime.

- S.S. is a 54 year-old college professor who maintains a healthy lifestyle. He exercises regularly, doesn't smoke or drink alcohol, and tries to keep his weight within the normal range. Recently, he experienced generalized muscle weakness and severe headaches. He made an appointment with his physician, who ordered a battery of blood tests. These tests revealed the following: Arteriai blood pH 7.50 Artoríal blood pC02 50 mm Hg HCO3 36 mEg/L Serum aldosterone Increased 1.

- Blood pressure is usually given as the ratio of the maximum pressure (systolic pressure) to the minimum pressure (diastolic pressure). For example a typical value for this ratio for a human would be 120/70, where the pressures are in mm Hg (millimeters of mercury, SG = 13.6). What would these pressures be in kPa (kilo Pascals)?: (a) systolic pressure (kPa), (b) diastolic pressure (kPa).arrow_forwardThe most abundant plasma electrolytes are_____________and _________________.arrow_forwardHenry is in the intensive care unit because he suffered a severe myocardial infarction three days ago.
