A patient of 50 years old suffers from chronic obstructive bronchitis. Recently, after hypothermia, the patient had a cough with purulent sputum, dyspnea, weakness. On examination: acrocyanosis, blood pressure 140/90, heart rate 100 beats per minute (normally 60-90), respiration is frequent and superficial. At auscultation: there are wet wheezing in the lower lobe of the right lung. Questions: 1. What kind of typical pathological process (TPP) is developed in a patient? Give its definition. 2. Name the species of this TPP according to the pathogenetic classification. 3. Indicate the cause of development of this TPP in the patient. 4. Describe the mechanism of development of this TPP in the patient. 5. Describe the most likely changes in blood gas composition and pH in this case. 6. What signs of adaptive reactions are there in the patient? 7. What other adaptive reactions are typical for this type of TPP?

A 6 month-old male infant is admitted to the hospital with diagnosis of recurrent pneumonia. His vital signs on admission: respiratory rate = 50 /min; heart rate = 170 beats/min; temperature – 102˚ F. Substernal retractions are prominent. Lung auscultation: bilateral wheezes and rhonchi. Medical history: this is a third admission since birth for pneumonia. His mother also states that he hasn’t gain body weight like her older child had at 6 months of age. 4) What is the rationale behind the poor weight gain? 5)What counseling or family education should be provided to the Family about cystic fibrosis before the child goes home? 6) What genetic counseling should be provided?

A young woman is brought to the emergency department by ambulance after a severe motor vehicle accident. She is unconscious. Her blood pressure is 64/40 mm Hg; heart rate is 150 bpm. She is intubated and is being hand-ventilated. There is no evidence of head trauma. The pupils are 2 mm and reactive. She withdraws to pain. Cardiac examination reveals no murmurs, gallops, or rubs. The lungs are clear to auscultation. The abdomen is tense, with decreased bowel sounds. The extremities are cool and clammy, with thready pulses. Despite aggressive blood and fluid resuscitation, the patient dies. Questions A. What are the four major pathophysiologic causes of shock? Which was likely in this patient? B. What pathogenetic mechanism accounts for this patient’s unresponsiveness? For the cool, pale extremities? C. What forms of hypovolemic shock may have been present in this patient? Why?

A 62-year-old man is admitted to hospital with chest pain. The pain is in the center of the chest and has lasted for 3 h by the time of his arrival in the emergency department. The chest pain radiated to the jaw and left shoulder. He felt sick at the same time. He has a history of chest pain on exercise which has been present for 6 months. He has smoked 10 cigarettes daily for 40 years and does not drink alcohol. His father died of a myocardial infarction aged 66 years and his 65-year-old brother had a coronary artery bypass graft 4 years ago. Q1.

A 56-year-old woman named Cranberry complained during her yearly physical examination of tiredness and difficulty concentrating. She attributed these symptoms to stress at work. She had gained weight over the last year and despite warm weather, she felt chilled without a sweater. Family history was significant for hypothyroidism in her mother and older sister. On physical examination she had a pulse of 58 bpm and a blood pressure of 138/88 mm Hg. Examination of her neck disclosed a small thyroid gland with a palpable pyramidal lobe and a firm, bosselated texture. Serum taken at this time demonstrated a total T4 of 7.0 mcg/dL and a TSH of 22.0 mcIU/ml. In addition, antithyroglobulin antibodies were positive at 1:640 and antimicrosomal antibodies were positive at 1:5120. These results supported the clinical impression of hypothyroidism; also, the texture of her thyroid gland and a positive family history suggested an autoimmune etiological factor.
