This patient is a 55-year-old male, known to me for several years. He is here, today, for his annual physical examination. Vitals are of concern, as he is showing an elevated blood pressure (152/92 mm Hg) and his weight is 50 pounds over where it should be. Patient complained that he has been feeling sluggish and fatigued more often than not. Patient stated that he has been taking his BP medication and believes that he sleeps well. However, the patient shares that his wife has been complaining recently about his loud snoring and told him that he appears to be breathing irregularly when asleep. I am recommending that he go through diagnostic testing for suspected obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). Why should you query this physician and what would you ask? A. Missing detail: Does the patient have OSA or not? B. Missing detail: Does the patient have OSA or not? C. Ambiguous information: Was the wife's assessment accurate? D. Contradictory information: Does the patient have elevated BP or…

A 25 year old male became a chronic alcoholic after dropping out of university. His mother reported that he had been very cranky lately. She attributed this condition to his frustrations with school. He was referred to the hospital laboratory from his community clinic because he was lethargic and pale. A CBC was ordered. Laboratory Data The following determinations were obtained: Hemoglobin 6.5 g/L Hematocrit 22% Total RBC count 3.0 x 1012/L Total WBC count 8.0 x 10/L Normal Vitamin B12 and Folate Elevated Ferritin The peripheral blood smear revealed dense, dark-staining particles in some of the RBCS. Questions 1. What are the erythrocyte indices in this patient? 2. How can this anemia be classified? 3. What are the dark-staining granules in the erythrocytes? What is their origin?
A 45-year-old man noticed multiple pinpoint red spots and bruises on his arms and legs. The hematologist confirmed the presence of petechiae, purpura, and ecchymoses on his extremities and ordered a complete blood count, prothrombin time, and partial thromboplastin time. The platelet count was 40 x 109/L, the mean platelet volume was 12.2 fL, and the diameter of platelets on the Wright-stained peripheral blood film appeared to exceed 6 mm. Other complete blood count parameters and the coagulation parameters were within normal limits. A Wright-stained bone marrow aspirate smear revealed 10 to 12 small unlobulated megakaryocytes per low-power microscopic field. Is the thrombocytopenia the result of inadequate bone marrow production? Explain why. Do these signs and symptoms indicate systemic (mucocutaneous) or anatomical (soft tissue) bleeding? Why?

A 51-year-old white man was admitted to the burn unit of a local hospital following an accident at a local foundry. Several STAT laboratory blood tests were ordered, including a complete blood count. Laboratory Data: The hemoglobin, hematocrit, and red blood cell (RBC) count were all slightly elevated. The total leukocyte count was 15.8 × 109 /L. The differential count was as follows: Band neutrophils 12% Segmented neutrophils 65% Lymphocytes 23% Light blue-gray inclusions were observed in the cytoplasm of many of the bands and segmented neutrophils. What is the etiology of the abnormal quantitative findings in this patient’s complete blood count? What are the blue-gray vacuoles in the cytoplasm of the leukocytes? Is this abnormality diagnostically significant? Why or why not?
Xin’s blood was drawn and testing was conducted. His hematocrit was 45% and white-blood cell count was 2,500 white-blood cells/mm3, with the differential showing neutrophils 65%, lymphocytes 25%, monocytes 10%. A biopsy was taken of one of the discolored lesions and cell culture. After three days of growth the cells were confirmed as coming from malignant cancerous tissue. A magnetic resonance image (MRI) of the area around the skin lesions on Xin’s inner thigh revealed enlarged lymph nodes, a sign of potential metastasis. DNA sequencing of the lesion biopsy revealed DNA consistent with human herpesvirus 8, known as Kaposi’s sarcoma-associated herpesvirus, leading to the diagnosis of Kaposi’s sarcoma. - What Disorders can be ruled in and out from this diagnosis?
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…
