store, a job that requires her to stand all day Outside of work, does not engage in
physical activity. She admits that due to her weight. she is uncomfortable even walking.
Explain how the pumping function of skeletal muscles may play a role in the onset of
symptoms in this patient, describe the mechanism of occurrence of these symptoms.

Mr. John Doe, a 72-year-old male with a long-standing history of chronic heart failure attributed to ischemic heart disease, was brought to the emergency department by his family due to increasing episodes of shortness of breath, especially at night, and swelling in his legs over the past week. Mr. Doe has been managing his condition with a regimen of ACE inhibitors, beta-blockers, and loop diuretics. Despite his adherence to medication, he has experienced gradual weight gain and decreased urine output in the days leading up to his presentation. His medical history is also significant for type 2 diabetes mellitus, controlled with oral hypoglycemics, and hypertension. On physical examination, Mr. Doe appeared visibly distressed, with labored breathing at rest, using accessory muscles. His blood pressure was noted to be 160/90 mmHg, with a heart rate of 98 beats per minute, respiratory rate of 26 breaths per minute, and oxygen saturation of 89% on room air. Bilateral pitting edema was…

The ski patrol that is also certified in EMT reported that Jerry was found with his head cocked at a peculiar angle and it looked like he had a fracture at the position of the C2 vertebra. During triage, Jerry appeared cyanotic and apneic. His heart was still beating, but his pulse was fast and thready. Jerry was artificially ventilated and survives the transport to the hospital. Upon admission, the following notes were taken by the trauma team nurse. Right thorax compressed with ribs 7 to 9 fractured Right lung pneumothorax; trachea deviation to the left d) Why hasn't the left lung collapse? e) The physician inserts a chest tube into the right intrapleural cavity which provides suction.

- A 26-year-old male was returning from a neighborhood store with a six-pack of beer. He attempted to run across a busy street but was struck by a car. He was fully conscious at the scene, complaining of pain in his abdomen and left leg. Examination by paramedics revealed an open fracture of the left tibia with moderate bleeding, left upper quadrant pain with rebound tenderness, and a fast, weak pulse. The leg was immobilized, oxygen was administered, an IV started, and he was transported to the Trauma Center, approximately 10 minutes away. About 3 minutes before arriving at the Trauma Center, he suffered cardiopulmonary arrest from which he could not be resuscitated, despite vigorous advanced life support. At autopsy, his stomach was found to be full of beer, along with 4 whole wieners (without any teeth marks!). His spleen, which is normally about the size of the patient’s fist, was grossly enlarged: it measured from just under the diaphragm to the level of the umbilicus, and from the…arrow_forwardHypervitaminosis is largely attributed to which of the following?
