A 27-year-old male of Mediterranean descent presented to his GP complaining of fatigue and some discomfort and pain in his abdomen. During the examination, the GP noted some mild splenomegaly and tenderness. On closer examination, some scleral icterus was noted. Subsequent lab results showed marginally elevated lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) and bilirubin, and a slight decrease in haemoglobin. Describe the likely clinical scenario for this patient.
A 6-year-old boy is brought to the physician by his mother because of intermittent upper abdominal pain during the past 5 weeks and a rash for 1 week. Vital signs are normal. Physical examination shows yellow nodules over the extensor surfaces of the upper extremities. There's hepatomegaly and tenderness on palpation of the epigastric region. Serum studies show an increased amylase activity, increased chylomicron concentration, and a markedly increased triglyceride concentration. 3 months after beginning a fat-restricted diet, his serum chylomicron and triglyceride concentration decreased significantly, and the skin lesions resolve. A deficiency of which of the following enzymes is the most likely cause of these findings? a. Acetyl-CoA carboxylase b. HMG-CoA lyase c. HMG-CoA reductase d. Hormone-sensitive lipase e. Lipoprotein lipase

Our pharmacy is located near several pediatricians’ offices, and each of these pediatricians has a preferred mouth rinse for sore throat. One doctor writes a combination of lidocaine, antacid, and Benadryl for a sore throat. Depending on the cause of the sore throat, she may add nystatin, an antifungal medication, or acyclovir, an antiviral medication. A typical prescription will read: antacid 1 part, lidocaine 2 parts, Benadryl 1 part, and nystatin 4 parts; dispense 8 ounces. We have found one of the simplest ways to calculate the amount of each drug to mix is by using fractions. First we add up the total number of “parts,” and this becomes our denominator or bottom number. For this compound, the denominator is 1 + 2 + 1 + 4 = 8. The numerator or top number is how many parts of that ingredient are used. For example, two parts of the mixture are lidocaine, so lidocaine is 2/8 of the mixture. To calculate how many ounces of lidocaine are needed, the fraction is multiplied by the total…
