Summary Introduction

Introduction:

Ms. Johansen, a 38-year-old lady, is 26 weeks pregnant. Three weeks ago, she was diagnosed with preeclampsia and antihypertensive drugs were administered. She complains about a constant headache and exhibits edema. Moreover, her blood pressure rises continuously and is noted as 162/109 mmHg (millimeter of mercury). Her urinalysis has been analyzed to be positive for protein. Blood tests to determine platelet levels, as well as liver function, has been ordered by the doctor. The doctor advised her to put off the delivery if possible as the premature babies are highly prone to various health problems. Nonclosure of ductus arteriosus is one such problem.

Mr. B is a 57-year-old man who was admitted yesterday after starting to pass black stools. He has a two-day history of severe stomach pains and has suffered on and off with indigestion for some months. He is a life-long smoker, with mild chronic heart failure (CHF) for which he has been taking enalapril 5 mg twice daily for 2 years. He also recently started taking naproxen 500 mg twice daily for arthritis. He works a stressful job and drinks large amounts of caffeinated coffee daily. Yesterday his hemoglobin was reported as 9.3 g/dL, hematoocrit 30%, RBC's 3.2, platelets 162, INR 1.1 with Liver Function Test normal. He was mildly tachycardic (110 bpm) and had a slightly low blood pressure of 100/77 mmHg and was given 1.5 L of saline. He has just returned from an endoscopy this morning and has been newly diagnosed as having a bleeding duodenal ulcer. They took a biopsy to determine if he is positive for H-pylori. He has been written up for his usual medication for tomorrow if he is…
Patient B., 56 y/o, is complaining of weakness, muscle ache, paresthesia in the facial zone, lower extremities, tonic-clonic seizures, breathing difficulty. Anamnesis contains a record of previous subtotal resection of thyroid gland. Objectively: her consciousness is clouded, the skin is dry, cyanotic, “main d’accoucheur”(obstetrician’s hand) convulsions in the upper extremities swallowing function is disturbed, shortness of breath. Heart sounds are dull, rhythmical, arterial pressure – 115/55, pulse – 56 beats/minute. Positive Chvostek’s and Trusso’s symptoms. The level of calcium in the blood – 1.3mmol/l; hyperphosphatemia, hypocalciuria; glycemia –5.6mmol/l. What is your diagnosis?A. Hypocalcemic crisisB. Hypothyroid comaC. Kidney failureD. Hyperthyroid coma E. Brain coma
Mr. H is a 52-year-old male who presents to the emergency department. His left leg is in a cast, and he states that 1 week ago he was in an automobile crash and broke his upper leg. Since that time, he has had difficulty “getting around” and has mostly been lying on the couch watching television. On the evening of admission he noticed a sudden onset of dyspnea and chest pain. He denies having orthopnea, cough, hemoptysis, or wheezing. He smoked two packs of cigarettes a day for 19 years but quit 3 years ago.  The ABG analysis of Mr. H suggests uncompensated respiratory alkalosis with mild hypoxemia, with base excess of -1 in her arterial side, whereas -4 in her venous side. Part 1: Her actual arterial-venous oxygen content difference (Ca-vO2) is 5.31 mL/dL. (Normal range considered here is 3.5 to 5 mL/dL) Part 2: Patient's actual oxygen extraction ratio (O2ER) was 29%. (Say normal range is 20-28%) What is clinically happening to the patient?
