https://huggingface.co/datasets/awacke1/USMLE-Test-Train/viewer/default/train | Parikh P, Sunesara I, Lutz E, et al: Burns during pregnancy: implications for maternal-perinatal providers and guidelines for practice. Crit Care Clin 31(1)67,t2015 Maghsoudi H, Samnia R, Garadaghi A, et aI: Burns in pregnancy. Burning with urination from noninfectious causes may be difficult to distinguish from a urinary tract infection, although some women can distinguish pain when the urine hits the vulvar area (an external dysuria) from burning pain (often suprapubic in location) during urination. Management of acute urinary reten-tion.
A 23-year-old pregnant woman at 22 weeks gestation presents with burning upon urination. She states it started 1 day ago and has been worsening despite drinking more water and taking cranberry extract. She otherwise feels well and is followed by a doctor for her pregnancy. Her temperature is 97.7°F (36.5°C), blood pressure is 122/77 mmHg, pulse is 80/min, respirations are 19/min, and oxygen saturation is 98% on room air. Physical exam is notable for an absence of costovertebral angle tenderness and a gravid uterus. Which of the following is the best treatment for this patient?
Death of a healthy infant (1 month to 1 year old) without obvious cause Once the child became comatose, death was almost inevitable. lthough this is less clear, some recommend that fetal death not attributable to other causes (Dizon-Townson, 1998; Lockshin, 1995). The most common cause of death for infants 1 month to 1 year of age is motor vehicle crashes.
A 3-month-old baby died suddenly at night while asleep. His mother noticed that he had died only after she awoke in the morning. No cause of death was determined based on the autopsy. Which of the following precautions could have prevented the death of the baby?
Placing the infant in a supine position on a firm mattress while sleeping
Keeping the infant covered and maintaining a high room temperature
Application of a device to maintain the sleeping position
Avoiding pacifier use during sleep
In neonates, difficulty in feeding is the usual presentation. The infant is fretful, feeds poorly, and may vomit frequently. Infants often present with constipation and poor feeding. With the most-severe neonatal type, the infant appears normal at birth, but toward the end of the first week, poor feeding, intermittent hypertonicity, opisthotonos, and respiratory irregularities appear.
A mother brings her 3-week-old infant to the pediatrician's office because she is concerned about his feeding habits. He was born without complications and has not had any medical problems up until this time. However, for the past 4 days, he has been fussy, is regurgitating all of his feeds, and his vomit is yellow in color. On physical exam, the child's abdomen is minimally distended but no other abnormalities are appreciated. Which of the following embryologic errors could account for this presentation?
Abnormal migration of ventral pancreatic bud
Complete failure of proximal duodenum to recanalize
Abnormal hypertrophy of the pylorus
Failure of lateral body folds to move ventrally and fuse in the midline
Which one of the following etiologies most likely explains this patient’s pulmonary symptoms? Suspect pulmonary embolism in a patient with rapid onset of hypoxia, hypercapnia, tachycardia, and an ↑ alveolar-arterial oxygen gradient without another obvious explanation. Tachypnea and hypoxemia point toward a pulmonary cause. Pulmonary dysfunction often results in hypoxemia.
A pulmonary autopsy specimen from a 58-year-old woman who died of acute hypoxic respiratory failure was examined. She had recently undergone surgery for a fractured femur 3 months ago. Initial hospital course was uncomplicated, and she was discharged to a rehab facility in good health. Shortly after discharge home from rehab, she developed sudden shortness of breath and had cardiac arrest. Resuscitation was unsuccessful. On histological examination of lung tissue, fibrous connective tissue around the lumen of the pulmonary artery is observed. Which of the following is the most likely pathogenesis for the present findings?
Pulmonary passive congestion
Age and the prevalence of bleeding disorders in women with menorrhagia. Predictors of menorrhagia include bleeding resulting in iron-deficiency anemia or a need for blood transfusion, passage of clots >1 inch in diameter, and changing a pad or tampon more than hourly. Therefore, other possible etiologies, including coagulopathies such as von Willebrand’s disease, should be considered in a woman with heavy menstrual bleeding (46). A history of easy bruising, petechiae, bleeding from mucous membranes, or prolonged bleeding from minor wounds may signify an underlying abnormality of platelet function.
A 20-year-old woman presents with menorrhagia for the past several years. She says that her menses “have always been heavy”, and she has experienced easy bruising for as long as she can remember. Family history is significant for her mother, who had similar problems with bruising easily. The patient's vital signs include: heart rate 98/min, respiratory rate 14/min, temperature 36.1°C (96.9°F), and blood pressure 110/87 mm Hg. Physical examination is unremarkable. Laboratory tests show the following: platelet count 200,000/mm3, PT 12 seconds, and PTT 43 seconds. Which of the following is the most likely cause of this patient’s symptoms?
History Moderate to severe acute abdominal pain; copious emesis. Severe abdominal pain, fever. The patient had noted 2 days of abdominal pain and fever, and his clinical evaluation and CT scan were consistent with appendicitis. Any severe acute pain in the abdomen or back should suggest the possibility of acute pancreatitis.
A 40-year-old zookeeper presents to the emergency department complaining of severe abdominal pain that radiates to her back, and nausea. The pain started 2 days ago and slowly increased until she could not tolerate it any longer. Past medical history is significant for hypertension and hypothyroidism. Additionally, she reports that she was recently stung by one of the zoo’s smaller scorpions, but did not seek medical treatment. She takes aspirin, levothyroxine, oral contraceptive pills, and a multivitamin daily. Family history is noncontributory. Today, her blood pressure is 108/58 mm Hg, heart rate is 99/min, respiratory rate is 21/min, and temperature is 37.0°C (98.6°F). On physical exam, she is a well-developed, obese female that looks unwell. Her heart has a regular rate and rhythm. Radial pulses are weak but symmetric. Her lungs are clear to auscultation bilaterally. Her lateral left ankle is swollen, erythematous, and painful to palpate. An abdominal CT is consistent with acute pancreatitis. Which of the following is the most likely etiology for this patient’s disease?
ould the patient preer prenatal diagnosis? EVALUATION OF NEWBORN CONDITION ............ 610 Prenatal US may suggest the diagnosis. Prenatal diagnosis in a family with purpura fulminans.
A 25-year-old primigravida presents to her physician for a routine prenatal visit. She is at 34 weeks gestation, as confirmed by an ultrasound examination. She has no complaints, but notes that the new shoes she bought 2 weeks ago do not fit anymore. The course of her pregnancy has been uneventful and she has been compliant with the recommended prenatal care. Her medical history is unremarkable. She has a 15-pound weight gain since the last visit 3 weeks ago. Her vital signs are as follows: blood pressure, 148/90 mm Hg; heart rate, 88/min; respiratory rate, 16/min; and temperature, 36.6℃ (97.9℉). The blood pressure on repeat assessment 4 hours later is 151/90 mm Hg. The fetal heart rate is 151/min. The physical examination is significant for 2+ pitting edema of the lower extremity. Which of the following tests o should confirm the probable condition of this patient?
Leukocyte count with differential
PREMATURELY RUPTURED MEMBRANES AT TERM ... 447 McElrath TF, Allred E, Leviton A: Prolonged latency after pre term premature rupture of membranes: an evaluation of histologic condition and intracranial ultrasonic abnormality in the neonate born at <28 weeks of gestation. Hadi HA, Hodson CA, Strickland 0: Premature rupture of the membranes between 20 and 25 weeks' gestation: role of amniotic fluid volume in perinatal outcome. hey compared these with outcomes in newborns of 159 women delivered because of spontaneous preterm labor or ruptured membranes.
A 3900-g (8.6-lb) male infant is delivered at 39 weeks' gestation via spontaneous vaginal delivery. Pregnancy and delivery were uncomplicated but a prenatal ultrasound at 20 weeks showed a defect in the pleuroperitoneal membrane. Further evaluation of this patient is most likely to show which of the following findings?
Gastric fundus in the thorax
Pancreatic ring around the duodenum
Hypertrophy of the gastric pylorus
Large bowel in the inguinal canal
Maintain rate and BP control via β-blockers, ACEIs, ARBs, or CCBs. If stable or chronic, rate control with calcium channel blockers or β-blockers. If precipitated by tachycardia, heart rate control with �-blocking agents is preferred. Treatment: anticoagulation, rate and rhythm control and/or cardioversion.
A 62-year-old woman presents for a regular check-up. She complains of lightheadedness and palpitations which occur episodically. Past medical history is significant for a myocardial infarction 6 months ago and NYHA class II chronic heart failure. She also was diagnosed with grade I arterial hypertension 4 years ago. Current medications are aspirin 81 mg, atorvastatin 10 mg, enalapril 10 mg, and metoprolol 200 mg daily. Her vital signs are a blood pressure of 135/90 mm Hg, a heart rate of 125/min, a respiratory rate of 14/min, and a temperature of 36.5°C (97.7°F). Cardiopulmonary examination is significant for irregular heart rhythm and decreased S1 intensity. ECG is obtained and is shown in the picture (see image). Echocardiography shows a left ventricular ejection fraction of 39%. Which of the following drugs is the best choice for rate control in this patient?
Chronic sinusitis (4–12 weeks): Adjuvant therapy with intranasal corticosteroids, decongestants, and antihistamines may be useful in combating the allergic/infammatory component of the disease. Patients with perennial rhinitis commonly develop the problem in adult life, and manifest nasal congestion and a postnasal discharge, often associated with thickening of the sinus membranes demonstrated by radiography. Topical decongestants should be used for no longer than 3 days because prolonged use may lead to rebound vasodilation and worsening of symptoms. Patients experience constant nasal congestion and sinus pressure, with intermittent periods of greater severity, which may persist for years.
A 35-year-old male presents to his primary care physician with complaints of seasonal allergies. He has been using intranasal vasoconstrictors several times per day for several weeks. What is a likely sequela of the chronic use of topical nasal decongestants?
Persistent nasal crusting
Patients usually do not complain of diplopia, in contrast to patients having conditions with a more acute onset of ocular muscle weakness (e.g., myasthenia gravis). There is intermittent diplopia owing to paroxysmal contraction of one or more ocular muscles, usually after their activation. These ocular problems are potentially sight-threatening and warrant ophthalmologic evaluation. A history of prior trauma, eye surgery, contact lens use, diplopia, systemic symptoms (e.g., dysphagia or peripheral muscle weakness), or a family history of ptosis should be sought.
A 46-year-old woman comes to the physician because of a 2-week history of diplopia and ocular pain when reading the newspaper. She also has a 3-month history of amenorrhea, hot flashes, and increased sweating. She reports that she has been overweight all her adult life and is happy to have lost 6.8-kg (15-lb) of weight in the past 2 months. Her pulse is 110/min, and blood pressure is 148/98 mm Hg. Physical examination shows moist palms and a nontender thyroid gland that is enlarged to two times its normal size. Ophthalmologic examination shows prominence of the globes of the eyes, bilateral lid retraction, conjunctival injection, and an inability to converge the eyes. There is no pain on movement of the extraocular muscles. Visual acuity is 20/20 bilaterally. Neurologic examination shows a fine resting tremor of the hands. Deep tendon reflexes are 3+ with a shortened relaxation phase. Which of the following is the most likely cause of this patient's ocular complaints?
Granulomatous inflammation of the cavernous sinus
Abnormal communication between the cavernous sinus and the internal carotid artery
Glycosaminoglycan accumulation in the orbit
Sympathetic hyperactivity of levator palpebrae superioris "
The clinical features as described by Palace and colleagues (2007) are of a limb-girdle pattern of weakness that causes a delay in walking after the child has reached other normal motor milestones and of ptosis from an early age. Based on the clinical picture, which of the following processes is most likely to be defective in this patient? Signs include ptosis, ophthalmoplegia, weak facial movements, poor feeding, hypotonia, respiratory difficulty, and variable extremity weakness. In these diseases of infancy, paucity of movement, hypotonia, and retardation of motor development may be more obvious than weakness, and there is arthrogryposis at birth.
A 1-year-old boy presents to the emergency department with weakness and a change in his behavior. His parents state that they first noticed the change in his behavior this morning and it has been getting worse. They noticed the patient was initially weak in his upper body and arms, but now he won’t move his legs with as much strength or vigor as he used to. Physical exam is notable for bilateral ptosis with a sluggish pupillary response, a very weak sucking and gag reflex, and shallow respirations. The patient is currently drooling and his diaper is dry. The parents state he has not had a bowel movement in over 1 day. Which of the following is the pathophysiology of this patient’s condition?
Autoantibodies against the presynaptic voltage-gated calcium channels
Autoimmune demyelination of peripheral nerves
Blockade of presynaptic acetylcholine release at the neuromuscular junction
Lower motor neuron destruction in the anterior horn
A female neonate appeared healthy until age ~24 hours, when she became lethargic. She appeared normal at birth. The child’s overall appearance, evidence of growth failure, orfailure to thrive may point to a significant underlying inflammatory disorder. Poor feeding and failure to gain weight, instability of temperature (mainly hypothermia), and seizures become apparent in early infancy.
A 9-month-old female is brought to the emergency department after experiencing a seizure. She was born at home and was normal at birth according to her parents. Since then, they have noticed that she does not appear to be achieving developmental milestones as quickly as her siblings, and often appears lethargic. Physical exam reveals microcephaly, very light pigmentation (as compared to her family), and a "musty" body odor. The varied manifestations of this disease can most likely be attributed to which of the following genetic principles?
By MRI one can, in advanced cases, appreciate atrophy of the dorsal mesencephalon (superior colliculi, red nuclei) giving rise to a “mouse ears” configuration (Fig. Imaging studies demonstrate the cerebellocerebral abnormality. Pathology of the Ear. Gen erally, other sonographic abnormalities are evident.
A 23-year-old man comes to the physician for evaluation of decreased hearing, dizziness, and ringing in his right ear for the past 6 months. Physical examination shows multiple soft, yellow plaques and papules on his arms, chest, and back. There is sensorineural hearing loss and weakness of facial muscles bilaterally. His gait is unsteady. An MRI of the brain shows a 3-cm mass near the right internal auditory meatus and a 2-cm mass at the left cerebellopontine angle. The abnormal cells in these masses are most likely derived from which of the following embryological structures?
Which one of the following etiologies most likely explains this patient’s pulmonary symptoms? A 40-year-old woman presented to her doctor with a 6-month history of increasing shortness of breath. A 50-year-old overweight woman came to the doctor complaining of hoarseness of voice and noisy breathing. What factors contributed to this patient’s hyponatremia?
A 62-year-old woman comes to the physician because of coughing and fatigue during the past 2 years. In the morning, the cough is productive of white phlegm. She becomes short of breath walking up a flight of stairs. She has hypertension and hyperlipidemia. She has recently retired from working as a nurse at a homeless shelter. She has smoked 1 pack of cigarettes daily for 40 years. Current medications include ramipril and fenofibrate. Her temperature is 36.5°C (97.7°F), respirations are 24/min, pulse is 85/min, and blood pressure is 140/90 mm Hg. Scattered wheezing and rhonchi are heard throughout both lung fields. There are no murmurs, rubs, or gallops but heart sounds are distant. Which of the following is the most likely underlying cause of this patient's symptoms?
Chronic decrease in pulmonary compliance
Local accumulation of kinins
Progressive obstruction of expiratory airflow
Incremental loss of functional residual capacity "
What is the most appropriate immediate treatment for his pain? The patient is posi-tioned on the operating table with the affected leg elevated at 45° to 60°. How should this patient be treated? How should this patient be treated?
A 68-year-old man presents to the emergency department with leg pain. He states that the pain started suddenly while he was walking outside. The patient has a past medical history of diabetes, hypertension, obesity, and atrial fibrillation. His temperature is 99.3°F (37.4°C), blood pressure is 152/98 mmHg, pulse is 97/min, respirations are 15/min, and oxygen saturation is 99% on room air. Physical exam is notable for a cold and pale left leg. The patient’s sensation is markedly diminished in the left leg when compared to the right, and his muscle strength is 1/5 in his left leg. Which of the following is the best next step in management?
Graded exercise and aspirin
Tissue plasminogen activator

Esophagogastroduodenoscopy
Abdominal ultrasonography of the right upper quadrant
The absence of dysarthria and of skeletal or cardiac abnormalities in the vitamin-deficiency illness may be helpful. Patients are at risk for fat-soluble vitamin deficiency (vitamins A, D, E, and Vitamin replacement should be undertaken nonetheless if no other cause is found. E. However, some patients have no appreciable vitamin deficiencies.
A 27-year-old female presents to general medical clinic for a routine checkup. She has a genetic disease marked by a mutation in a chloride transporter. She has a history of chronic bronchitis. She has a brother with a similar history of infections as well as infertility. Which of the following is most likely true regarding a potential vitamin deficiency complication secondary to this patient's chronic illness?
It may result in corneal vascularization
It may result in the triad of confusion, ophthalmoplegia, and ataxia
It may be exacerbated by excessive ingestion of raw eggs
It may manifest itself as a prolonged PT
Patients may present with severe liver disease, jaundice, hypoalbuminemia, mild to moderately elevated aminotransferases, and an elevated alkaline phosphatase. Laboratory tests were remarkable for elevated liver function tests (serum aspartate and alanine aminotransferases) and elevated urinary calcium and phosphate. AST:ALT >2 suggests alcoholic hepatitis or cirrhosis Routine analysis of his blood included the following results:
A previously healthy 36-year-old man comes to the physician for a yellow discoloration of his skin and dark-colored urine for 2 weeks. He does not drink any alcohol. Physical examination shows jaundice. Abdominal and neurologic examinations show no abnormalities. Serum studies show increased levels of alanine aminotransferase (ALT) and aspartate aminotransferase (AST). A liver biopsy is performed and a photomicrograph after periodic acid-Schiff-staining is shown. Which of the following is the most likely additional finding in this patient?
Bullous changes of the lung bases on chest CT
Beading of intra- and extrahepatic bile ducts on ERCP
Myocardial iron deposition on cardiovascular MRI
Dark corneal ring on slit-lamp examination
Patients developing neurologic symptoms in the lower extremities, severe localized back pain, or problems with bowel and bladder control may need emergency MRI and local radiation therapy and glucocorticoids if cord compression is identified. Any patient with cancer who has severe back pain should undergo an MRI. New back pain in patients with cancer should be explored aggressively on an emergent basis; to wait for neurologic symptoms is a potentially catastrophic error. The patient may occasionally complain of back pain only.
A 69-year-old male presents to the emergency room with back pain. He has a history of personality disorder and metastatic prostate cancer and was not a candidate for surgical resection. He began chemotherapy but discontinued due to unremitting nausea. He denies any bowel or bladder incontinence. He has never had pain like this before and is demanding morphine. The nurse administers IV morphine and he feels more comfortable. Vital signs are stable. On physical examination you note tenderness to palpation along the lower spine, weakness in the bilateral lower extremities, left greater than right. Neurological examination is also notable for hyporeflexia in the knee and ankle jerks bilaterally. You conduct a rectal examination, which reveals saddle anesthesia. Regarding this patient, what is the most likely diagnosis and the appropriate next step in management?
The most likely diagnosis is cauda equina syndrome and steroids should be started prior to MRI
The most likely diagnosis is cauda equina syndrome and steroids should be started after to MRI
The most likely diagnosis is cauda equina syndrome and the patient should be rushed to radiation
The most likely diagnosis is conus medullaris syndrome and steroids should be started prior to MRI
In all likelihood, these alterations do not stem from a primary dysfunction of hypothalamic nuclei, but rather are a result of the extreme weight loss that is the primary feature of the disease. Channelrhodopsins are photosensitive ion channels that open in response to light.

An investigator is studying the function of the lateral nucleus of the hypothalamus in an experimental animal. Using a viral vector, the genes encoding chloride-conducting channelrhodopsins are injected into this nucleus. Photostimulation of the channels causes complete inhibition of action potential generation. Persistent photostimulation is most likely to result in which of the following abnormalities in these animals?
A 55-year-old man presents with increasing fatigue, 15-pound weight loss, and a microcytic anemia. Fever of unknown origin, weight loss, Lymphoreticular malignancy Hodgkin disease, non-Hodgkin lymphoma night sweats Most patients present with fatigue and lymphadenopathy and are found to have generalized disease involving the bone marrow, spleen, liver, and (often) the gastrointestinal tract. What caused the hyperkalemia and metabolic acidosis in this patient?
A 52-year-old woman comes to the physician because of a 6-month history of generalized fatigue, low-grade fever, and a 10-kg (22-lb) weight loss. Physical examination shows generalized pallor and splenomegaly. Her hemoglobin concentration is 7.5 g/dL and leukocyte count is 41,800/mm3. Leukocyte alkaline phosphatase activity is low. Peripheral blood smear shows basophilia with myelocytes and metamyelocytes. Bone marrow biopsy shows cellular hyperplasia with proliferation of immature granulocytic cells. Which of the following mechanisms is most likely responsible for this patient's condition?
Cytokine-independent activation of the JAK-STAT pathway
Loss of function of the APC gene
Altered expression of the retinoic acid receptor gene
Unregulated expression of the ABL1 gene
Does this patient have acute cholecystitis? She is in no acute distress, and there are no other significant physical findings; an electrocardiogram is normal except for slight left ventricular hypertrophy. In this setting, it is reasonable to proceed to right heart catheterization for definitive diagnosis. The patient is toxic and has high fever, tachycardia, and marked hypovo-lemia, which if uncorrected, progresses to cardiovascular col-lapse.
A 42-year-old woman is in the hospital recovering from a cholecystectomy performed 3 days ago that was complicated by cholangitis. She is being treated with IV piperacillin-tazobactam. She calls the nurse to her room because she says that her heart is racing. She also demands that someone come in to clean the pile of garbage off of the floor because it is attracting flies. Her pulse is 112/min, respiratory rate is 20/min, temperature is 38.0°C (100.4°F), and blood pressure is 150/90 mm Hg. On physical examination, the patient appears sweaty, distressed, and unable to remain still. She is oriented to person, but not place or time. Palpation of the abdomen shows no tenderness, rebound, or guarding. Which of the following is the most likely diagnosis in this patient?
E. Treatment involves corticosteroids, UV light with psoralen, or immune-modulating therapy. Treatment options for early, rapidly progressive disease include phototherapy (UVA1 or PUVA) or methotrexate (15–20 mg/week) alone or in combination with daily glucocorticoids. The immediate treatment almost invariably includes transfusion of red cells. Mild disease is treated topically with ointments containing corticosteroids or other immunomodulatory agents, whereas more severe disease is treated with phototherapy (which has immunosuppressive effects) or systemic therapy with immunosuppressive agents such as methotrexate or TNF antagonists.
A 48-year-old woman comes to the emergency department because of a photosensitive blistering rash on her hands, forearms, and face for 3 weeks. The lesions are not itchy. She has also noticed that her urine has been dark brown in color recently. Twenty years ago, she was successfully treated for Coats disease of the retina via retinal sclerotherapy. She is currently on hormonal replacement therapy for perimenopausal symptoms. Her aunt and sister have a history of a similar skin lesions. Examination shows multiple fluid-filled blisters and oozing erosions on the forearms, dorsal side of both hands, and forehead. There is hyperpigmented scarring and patches of bald skin along the sides of the blisters. Laboratory studies show a normal serum ferritin concentration. Which of the following is the most appropriate next step in management to induce remission in this patient?
Pursue liver transplantation
Begin oral thalidomide therapy
Begin oral hydroxychloroquine therapy
Presents with painless hematuria, flank pain, abdominal mass. Colicky flank pain radiating to the groin suggests acute ureteric obstruction. Characterized by abdominal (flank) pain and gross hematuria (from rupture of thin-walled renal varicosities). B. Presents with gross hematuria and flank pain
A 53-year-old man comes to the emergency department because of severe right-sided flank pain for 3 hours. The pain is colicky, radiates towards his right groin, and he describes it as 8/10 in intensity. He has vomited once. He has no history of similar episodes in the past. Last year, he was treated with naproxen for swelling and pain of his right toe. He has a history of hypertension. He drinks one to two beers on the weekends. Current medications include amlodipine. He appears uncomfortable. His temperature is 37.1°C (99.3°F), pulse is 101/min, and blood pressure is 130/90 mm Hg. Examination shows a soft, nontender abdomen and right costovertebral angle tenderness. An upright x-ray of the abdomen shows no abnormalities. A CT scan of the abdomen and pelvis shows a 7-mm stone in the proximal ureter and grade I hydronephrosis on the right. Which of the following is most likely to be seen on urinalysis?
Largely positive urinary protein
Affected individuals typically present with breast development (usually only to Tanner stage 3) out of proportion with the amount of pubic and axillary hair present (Fig. At that point, the finding of the progressive developmentof pubic and axillary hair in the presence of testes that remaininfantile in volume should alert the clinician to the disorder. After ruling out androgen-secreting tumors and congenital adrenal hyperplasia, treatment may be aimed at decreasing coarse hair growth. Scores above 8 suggest excess androgen-mediated hair growth, a finding that should be assessed further by means of hormonal evaluation (see below).
A 5-year-old girl is brought to the clinic by her mother for excessive hair growth. Her mother reports that for the past 2 months she has noticed hair at the axillary and pubic areas. She denies any family history of precocious puberty and reports that her daughter has been relatively healthy with an uncomplicated birth history. She denies any recent illnesses, weight change, fever, vaginal bleeding, pain, or medication use. Physical examination demonstrates Tanner stage 4 development. A pelvic ultrasound shows an ovarian mass. Laboratory studies demonstrates an elevated level of estrogen. What is the most likely diagnosis?
Idiopathic precocious puberty
A child who is repeatedly kept home from school becauseof pain receives reinforcement in the form of being excusedfrom responsibilities and withdraws from full social functioning. B. Clinically significant problematic behavioral changes (e.g., belligerence, assaultive- ness, impulsiveness. In severely worried children, defensive aggression may be used to prevent attendance. A 19-year-old college sophomore began to show paranoid traits.
A 16-year-old boy is brought to the physician by his mother because she is worried about his behavior. Yesterday, he was expelled from school for repeatedly skipping classes. Over the past 2 months, he was suspended 3 times for bullying and aggressive behavior towards his peers and teachers. Once, his neighbor found him smoking cigarettes in his backyard. In the past, he consistently maintained an A grade average and had been a regular attendee of youth group events at their local church. The mother first noticed this change in behavior 3 months ago, around the time at which his father moved out after discovering his wife was having an affair. Which of the following defense mechanisms best describes the change in this patient's behavior?
Inquiry should be made into the nature of the double vision (purely side-by-side versus partial vertical displacement of images), mode of onset, duration, intermittency, diurnal variation, and associated neurologic or systemic symptoms. A 33-year-old fit and well woman came to the emergency department complaining of double vision and pain behind her right eye. Subsequent eye examinations depend on severity of retinopathy and level of diabetes control. Because many individuals with type 2 DM have had asymptomatic diabetes for several years before diagnosis, the American Diabetes Association (ADA) recommends the following ophthalmologic examination schedule: (1) individuals with type 1 DM should have an initial eye examination within 5 years of diagnosis, (2) individuals with type 2 DM should have an initial eye examination at the time of diabetes diagnosis, (3) women with DM who are pregnant or contemplating pregnancy should have an eye examination prior to conception and during the first trimester, and (4) if eye exam is normal, repeat examination in 2–3 years is appropriate.
A 63-year-old woman presents to her primary-care doctor for a 2-month history of vision changes, specifically citing the gradual onset of double vision. Her double vision is present all the time and does not get better or worse throughout the day. She has also noticed that she has a hard time keeping her right eye open, and her right eyelid looks 'droopy' in the mirror. Physical exam findings during primary gaze are shown in the photo. Her right pupil is 6 mm and poorly reactive to light. The rest of her neurologic exam is unremarkable. Laboratory studies show an Hb A1c of 5.0%. Which of the following is the next best test for this patient?
MR angiography of the head
Many polypeptides are covalently modified, either while they are still attached to the ribosome (cotranslational) or after their synthesis has been completed (posttranslational). Many polypeptide chains are covalently modified during or after translation. Elongation of the polypeptide involves the addition of amino acids to the carboxyl end of the growing chain. As polypeptide chains are synthesized by the membrane-bound polysomes, the protein is injected into the lumen of the rER cisterna, where it is further modified post-translationally by enzymes.
An investigator is studying the modification of newly formed polypeptides in plated eukaryotic cells. After the polypeptides are released from the ribosome, a chemically-tagged protein attaches covalently to lysine residues on the polypeptide chain, forming a modified polypeptide. When a barrel-shaped complex is added to the cytoplasm, the modified polypeptide lyses, resulting in individual amino acids and the chemically-tagged proteins. Which of the following post-translational modifications has most likely occurred?
The pathology of the optic nerve in amblyopia in the alcoholic has been described by Victor and colleagues (1960). Adams et al observed a rapidly evolving quadriplegia and pseudobulbar palsy in a young alcoholic man who had entered the hospital 10 days earlier with symptoms of alcohol withdrawal. chronic alcohol consumption; presents with confabulation, personality changes, memory loss (permanent). The most common pathologic change in most reports has been characteristic of Alzheimer disease.
A 38-year-old man presents to his physician with double vision persisting for a week. When he enters the exam room, the physician notes that the patient has a broad-based gait. The man’s wife informs the doctor that he has been an alcoholic for the last 5 years and his consumption of alcohol has increased significantly over the past few months. She also reports that he has become indifferent to his family members over time and is frequently agitated. She also says that his memory has been affected significantly, and when asked about a particular detail, he often recollects it incorrectly, though he insists that his version is the true one. On physical examination, his vital signs are stable, but when the doctor asks him where he is, he seems to be confused. His neurological examination also shows nystagmus. Which of the following options describes the earliest change in the pathophysiology of the central nervous system in this man?
Decreased α-ketoglutarate dehydrogenase activity in astrocytes
Increased extracellular concentration of glutamate
Increased astrocyte lactate
Breakdown of the blood-brain barrier
Antiplatelet agents, such as aspirin, should be given to patients with transient ischemic attacks, and if these are not effective, warfarin should be considered. One currently favored approach, based in part on the WARSS trial, is to simply administer aspirin in all cases of acute stroke. Currently, most stroke neu-rologists prescribe both aspirin and clopidogrel for secondary 1Brunicardi_Ch23_p0897-p0980.indd 91027/02/19 4:14 PM 911ARTERIAL DISEASECHAPTER 23stroke prevention in patients who have experienced a TIA or stroke.19 In patients with symptomatic carotid stenosis, the degree of stenosis appears to be the most important predic-tor in determining risk for an ipsilateral stroke. Johnston SC, Easton JD, Farrant M, et al: Clopidogrel and aspirin in acute ischemic stroke and high-risk TIA.
A 69-year-old man is brought by his son to the emergency department with weakness in his right arm and leg. The man insists that he is fine and blames his son for "creating panic". Four hours ago the patient was having tea with his wife when he suddenly dropped his teacup. He has had difficulty moving his right arm since then and cannot walk because his right leg feels stuck. He has a history of hypertension and dyslipidemia, for which he currently takes lisinopril and atorvastatin, respectively. He is allergic to aspirin and peanuts. A computerized tomography (CT) scan shows evidence of an ischemic stroke. Which medication would most likely prevent such attacks in this patient in the future?
Pain worse at rest or at night Prior history of cancer History of chronic infection (especially lung, urinary tract, skin) History of trauma Incontinence Age >70 years Intravenous drug use Glucocorticoid use History of a rapidly progressive neurologic deficit Neutropenic enterocolitis is often identified as a cause of abdominal pain and fever in some patients with bone marrow suppression due to chemotherapy. Most patients typically have blood in the urine (hematuria), pain in the infrascapular region (loin), and a mass. A 55-year-old male presents with irritative and obstructive urinary symptoms.
A 70-year-old man presents to a medical clinic reporting blood in his urine and lower abdominal pain for the past few days. He is also concerned about urinary frequency and urgency. He states that he recently completed a cycle of chemotherapy for non-Hodgkin lymphoma. Which medication in the chemotherapy regimen most likely caused his symptoms?
Treatment of bites includes local washing and elevation of the bitten area, tetanus prophylaxis, and analgesic administration. Care of the bite wound includes simple cleansing with soap and water; application of a dry, sterile dressing; and splinting of the affected extremity with padding between the digits. Each year, 800,000 Americans seek medical attention for dog bites; of those injured, 386,000 require treatment in an emergency department, with >1000 emergency department visits each day and about a dozen deaths per year. Antibiotics may also be considered if misguided first aid efforts have included incision or mouth suction of the bite site.
A 27-year-old man presents to the emergency department after a dog bite. The patient was intoxicated and pulled the dog’s tail while it was eating. The dog belongs to his friend and is back at his friend’s house currently. Physical exam is notable for a dog bite on the patient’s right arm. The wound is irrigated and explored with no retained bodies found. A tetanus vaccination is administered. Which of the following is appropriate management of this patient?
Administer amoxicillin-clavulanic acid
Administer trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole
Close the wound with sutures and discharge the patient
Discharge the patient with outpatient follow up

A 19-year-old woman, accompanied by her parents, presents after a one-week history of abnormal behavior, delusions, and unusual aggression. She denies fever, seizures or illicit drug use. Family history is negative for psychiatric illnesses. She was started on risperidone and sent home with her parents. Three days later, she is brought to the emergency department with fever and confusion. She is not verbally responsive. At the hospital, her temperature is 39.8°C (103.6°F), the blood pressure is 100/60 mm Hg, the pulse rate is 102/min, and the respiratory rate is 16/min. She is extremely diaphoretic and appears stiff. She has spontaneous eye-opening but she is not verbally responsive and she is not following commands. Laboratory studies show: Sodium 142 mmol/L Potassium 5.0 mmol/L Creatinine 1.8 mg/dl Calcium 10.4 mg/dl Creatine kinase 9800 U/L White blood cells 14,500/mm3 Hemoglobin 12.9 g/dl Platelets 175,000/mm3 Urinalysis shows protein 1+, hemoglobin 3+ with occasional leukocytes and no red blood casts. What is the best first step in the management of this condition?
Switch risperidone to clozapine
A 33-year-old fit and well woman came to the emergency department complaining of double vision and pain behind her right eye. Initially, weakness begins with extraocular muscles, drooping eyelids, double vision, and generalized muscular weakness. Blurring of vision, diplopia, and ptosis may attend the drowsiness and may bring the patient first to an ophthalmologist. A 56-year-old woman is brought to the university eye center with a complaint of “loss of vision.” Because of visual impair-ment, she has lost her driver’s license and has fallen several times in her home.
A 35-year-old woman comes to the physician because of a 1-month history of double vision, difficulty climbing stairs, and weakness when trying to brush her hair. She reports that these symptoms are worse after she exercises and disappear after she rests for a few hours. Physical examination shows drooping of her right upper eyelid that worsens when the patient is asked to gaze at the ceiling for 2 minutes. There is diminished motor strength in the upper extremities. The remainder of the examination shows no abnormalities. Which of the following is the most likely diagnosis?

: Eventual AIDS vaccine failure in a rhesus monkey by viral escape from cytotoxic T lymphocytes. One patient with hypogammaglobulinemia who had been infected 12 years earlier and was receiving IV immune globulin suddenly developed quadriplegia and respiratory muscle paralysis and died; analysis showed that the virus had reverted to a more wild-type sequence. This child has acute falciparum malaria, and her lethargy and abnormal laboratory tests are consistent with progres-sion to severe disease. Excessive physical activity and local injections during the period of asymptomatic infection were thought to favor the development of paralysis of the exercised or injected limbs.
A 12-year-old boy who recently emigrated from Pakistan presents with fever, muscle pain, and weakness of the trunk, abdomen, and legs. The patient’s mother says that he has not been vaccinated. Physical examination reveals fasciculation and flaccid paralysis of the lower limbs. A CSF analysis reveals lymphocytosis with normal glucose and protein levels. A throat swab reveals an RNA virus. Which of the following would most likely be destroyed by the virus in this patient?
Posterior horn cells of the spinal cord
Anterior horn of the spinal cord
Additionally, the sigmoidal relationship between the velocity of the reaction and substrate concentration (see p. 98) maximizes the enzyme’s responsiveness to changes in blood glucose level. The other kinetic parameter frequently used to characterize an enzyme is its Km, the concentration of substrate that allows the reaction to proceed at one-half its maximum rate (0.5 Vmax) (see Figure 3–46). The rate of an enzyme-catalyzed reaction increases with substrate concentration until a maximal velocity (Vmax) is reached (Fig. kinetics enzyme for its substrate.
A researcher is studying the properties of an enzyme that adds phosphate groups to glucose. She discovers that the enzyme is present in most body tissues and is located in the cytoplasm of the cells expressing the enzyme. She decides to mix this enzyme under subphysiologic conditions with varying levels of glucose in order to determine the kinetic properties of the enzyme. Specifically, she adds increasing levels of glucose at a saturating concentration of phosphate and sees that the rate at which glucose becomes phosphorylated gets faster at higher levels of glucose. She observes that this rate approaches a maximum speed and calls this speed Y. She then determines the concentration of glucose that is needed to make the enzyme function at half the speed Y and calls this concentration X. Which of the following is most likely true about the properties of this enzyme?

A 31-year-old G2P2 female at 40 weeks gestation presents to the hospital following a rush of water that came from her vagina. She is 4 cm dilated and 80% effaced. Fetal heart tracing shows a pulse of 155/min with variable decelerations. About 12 hours after presentation, she gives birth to a 6 lb 15 oz baby boy with APGAR scores of 8 and 9 at 1 and 5 minutes, respectively. Which of the following structures is responsible for inhibition of female internal genitalia?
Which one of the following etiologies most likely explains this patient’s pulmonary symptoms? The hemoptysis (coughing up blood in the sputum) and the rest of the history suggest the patient has a lung infection. Fever, pharyngeal erythema, tonsillar exudate, lack of cough. Associated symptoms of fever and chills should raise the suspicion of infective etiologies, both pulmonary and systemic.
A 43-year-old woman presents to the emergency department complaining of palpitations, dry cough, and shortness of breath for 1 week. She immigrated to the United States from Korea at the age of 20. She says that her heart is racing and she has never felt these symptoms before. Her cough is dry and is associated with shortness of breath that occurs with minimal exertion. Her past medical history is otherwise unremarkable. She has no allergies and is not currently taking any medications. She is a nonsmoker and an occasional drinker. She denies illicit drug use. Her blood pressure is 100/65 mm Hg, pulse is 76/min, respiratory rate is 23/min, and temperature is 36.8°C (98.2°F).

Based on data from population-based registries, approximately 1 in 8 liveborn and stillborn neonates with a congenital heart defect has a chromosomal abnormality (Dolk, 2010; Hartman, 201l). The recipient neonate may also have circulatory overload from heart failure and severe hypervolemia and hyperviscosity. Furthermore, echocardiography can facilitate evaluation for the several associated defects that can be present in critical neonatal AS, including mitral stenosis, LV hypoplasia, LV endo-cardial fibroelastosis, subaortic stenosis, VSD, or coarctation. Retinopathy of prematurity, Intraventricular hemorrhage, Bronchopulmonary dysplasia (RIB).
A male neonate is being examined by a pediatrician. His mother informs the doctor that she had a mild fever with rash, muscle pain, and swollen and tender lymph nodes during the second month of gestation. The boy was born at 39 weeks gestation via spontaneous vaginal delivery with no prenatal care. On physical examination, the neonate has normal vital signs. Retinal examination reveals the findings shown in the image. Which of the following congenital heart defects is most likely to be present in this neonate?
Ventricular septal defect
B. Presents with high fever, sore throat, drooling with dysphagia, muffled voice, and inspiratory stridor; risk ofairway obstruction This reflects a poor immune response to the virus in the acute phase of infection due to immaturity of the neonatal immune system, as well as infection by a viral strain that has already evaded an immune system that is genetically close to that of the child. High fever, leukocytosis, and a purulent nasal discharge are suggestive of acute bacterial sinusitis. Exceptional situations include lack of response to empirical therapy, unusually severe presentations, nosocomial pneumonia, and immunocompromised children susceptible to infections with opportunistic pathogens (Table 110-3).
A 4-year-old boy is brought to the emergency department by his parents. He is lethargic and confused and has a severe headache, vomiting, and a high-grade fever since earlier that day. His mother reports that the child was doing well until 2 days ago when he developed a fever and green nasal discharge. The patient has a history of neonatal sepsis, meningococcemia at 18 months of age, and pneumococcal pneumonia at 2 and 3 years of age. His scheduled vaccinations are up to date. His blood pressure is 70/50 mm Hg, heart rate is 120/min, respiratory rate is 22/min, and temperature is 39.3°C (102.4°F). On examination, the child is lethargic and his skin is pale, with several petechiae over his buttocks. There is a purulent nasal discharge from both nostrils. The lungs are clear to auscultation bilaterally. Heart sounds are normal. There is marked neck rigidity. Cerebrospinal fluid analysis shows the following results: Opening pressure 100 mm H2O Appearance cloudy Protein 500 mg/dL (5 g/L) White blood cells 2500/μL (polymorphonuclear predominance) Protein 450 mg/dL (4.5 g/L) Glucose 31 mg/dL (1.7 mmol/L) Culture positive for N. meningitidis Which of the following immunological processes is most likely to be impaired in this child?

Immediate hospitalization and aggressive therapy are warranted for serious pulmonary infections.
A 66-year-old woman with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease is brought to the emergency department because of fever, body aches, malaise, and a dry cough. She has smoked one pack of cigarettes daily for 30 years but quit smoking 1 year ago. She lives with her daughter and her granddaughter, who attends daycare. Her temperature is 38.1°C (101°F). Physical examination shows bilateral conjunctivitis, rhinorrhea, and erythematous tonsils without exudates. Further testing confirms infection with an enveloped orthomyxovirus. Administration of a drug with which of the following mechanisms of action is most appropriate?
Inhibition of nucleoside reverse transcriptase
Inhibition of proton translocation
Inhibition of neuraminidase
Papillary carcinoma of thyroid Unilateral total lobectomy: is it sufficient surgical treatment for patients with AMES low-risk papillary thyroid carcinoma? If the diagnosis is uncertain, the lesions are classified as “suspicious for malignancy.” Lobec-tomy or near-total thyroidectomy is recommended because 60% to 75% turn out to be malignant. Some small papillary thyroid cancers (<1 cm) can be fol-lowed with active surveillance.6 Focused mini-incision parathyroidectomy, after appropri-ate localization, has become the procedure of choice for the treatment of sporadic primary hyperparathyroidism.7 Parathyroidectomy has been shown to improve the clas-sic and the so-called nonspecific symptoms and metabolic complications of primary hyperparathyroidism.8 Normocalcemic hyperparathyroidism is being increasingly recognized; however, there are no definitive guidelines for management.9 Very high calcium and parathyroid hormone levels in a patient with primary hyperparathyroidism should alert the surgeon to the presence of a possible parathyroid carcinoma.10 Subclinical Cushing’s syndrome is characterized by subtle abnormalities in corticosteroid synthesis, and many of its manifestations appear to be treated by adrenalectomy.11 Fine-needle aspiration biopsy has a very limited role in the evaluation of adrenal incidentalomas unless the patient has previously had a cancer and should only be performed after appropriate biochemical studies have been performed to rule out pheochromocytoma.12 Laparoscopic adrenalectomy has become the procedure of choice for excision of most adrenal lesions, except known or suspected cancers.Brunicardi_Ch38_p1625-p1704.indd 162601/03/19 11:20 AM 1627THYROID, PARATHYROID, AND ADRENALCHAPTER 38failed to fuse with the main thyroid, as previously suggested by Crile.
A 38-year-old woman undergoes hemithyroidectomy for treatment of localized, well-differentiated papillary thyroid carcinoma. The lesion is removed with clear margins. However, during the surgery, a structure lying directly adjacent to the superior thyroid artery at the upper pole of the thyroid lobe is damaged. This patient is most likely to experience which of the following symptoms?
Weakness of shoulder shrug
Which one of the following etiologies most likely explains this patient’s pulmonary symptoms? Difficulty in ventilation during resuscitation or high peak inspiratory pressures during mechanical ventilation strongly suggest the diagnosis. A 51-year-old man presents to the emergency department due to acute difficulty breathing. The patient is toxic, with fever, headache, and nuchal rigidity.
A 27-year-old man presents to the emergency room with persistent fever, nausea, and vomiting for the past 3 days. While waiting to be seen, he quickly becomes disoriented and agitated. Upon examination, he has visible signs of difficulty breathing with copious oral secretions and generalized muscle twitching. The patient’s temperature is 104°F (40°C), blood pressure is 90/64 mmHg, pulse is 88/min, and respirations are 18/min with an oxygen saturation of 90% on room air. When the nurse tries to place a nasal cannula, the patient becomes fearful and combative. The patient is sedated and placed on mechanical ventilation. Which of the following is a risk factor for the patient’s most likely diagnosis?
Immediate surgical exploration is mandatory for patients with shock and active ongoing hemorrhage from neck wounds. Stab wounds in a hemodynamically stable patient warrant a CT or FAST scan followed by close inpatient observation. After the initial resuscitative efforts and surgical debridement, the primary concern is the management of the open wound. Stab wounds in a hemodynamically unstable patient or in a patient with peritoneal signs or evisceration require immediate exploratory laparotomy.
A 21-year-old man presents to the emergency department after sustaining a stab wound to the neck at a local farmer's market. The patient is otherwise healthy and is complaining of pain. The patient is able to offer the history himself. His temperature is 97.6°F (36.4°C), blood pressure is 120/84 mmHg, pulse is 90/min, respirations are 15/min, and oxygen saturation is 98% on room air. Physical exam demonstrates a 3 cm laceration 1 cm inferior to the mastoid process on the right side. The patient's breath sounds are clear and he is protecting his airway. No stridor or difficulty breathing is noted. Which of the following is the most appropriate next step in the management of this patient?
Observation and blood pressure monitoring
Enlarged lymph nodes and rare malignancies such as rhabdomyosarcoma can occur either in the midline or laterally.LymphadenopathyThe most common cause of a neck mass in a child is an enlarged lymph node, which typically can be found laterally or in the midline. The typical symptom is a diffuse mass in the neck, which may be managed medically or may need surgical excision if the mass is large enough to affect the patient’s life or cause respiratory problems. Patients typically present with a pul-satile neck mass. The neck should be examined for thyromegaly.
A 13-year-old girl presents to a medical office for the evaluation of a lump on the front of her neck. The patient denies pain, but states that the mass bothers her because “it moves when I swallow”. The physical examination reveals a midline neck mass that is above the hyoid bone but below the level of the mandible. The mass is minimally mobile and feels fluctuant without erythema. The patient is afebrile and all vital signs are stable. A complete blood count and thyroid function tests are performed and are within normal limits. What is the most likely cause of this patient’s presentation?
Persistent thyroid tissue at the tongue base
Deletion of the 22q11 gene
Cyst formation in a persistent thyroglossal duct
Walking becomes increasingly awkward and tentative; the patient has a tendency to totter and fall repeatedly, but has no ataxia of gait or of the limbs and does not manifest a She was diag-nosed with Crohn’s disease 2 years ago, and it involves her terminal ileum and proximal colon, as confirmed by colonoscopy and small bowel radiography. Early prominent gait disturbance with only mild memory loss suggests vascular dementia or, rarely, NPH (see below). The patient was tentatively diagnosed with Alzheimer disease (AD).
A 35-year-old woman with a history of Crohn disease presents for a follow-up appointment. She says that lately, she has started to notice difficulty walking. She says that some of her friends have joked that she appears to be walking as if she was drunk. Past medical history is significant for Crohn disease diagnosed 2 years ago, managed with natalizumab for the past year because her intestinal symptoms have become severe and unresponsive to other therapies. On physical examination, there is gait and limb ataxia present. Strength is 4/5 in the right upper limb. A T1/T2 MRI of the brain is ordered and is shown. Which of the following is the most likely diagnosis?
Sporadic Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease (sCJD)
Variant Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease (vCJD)
Subacute sclerosing panencephalitis (SSPE)
Progressive multifocal encephalopathy (PML)
Both light and heavy bleeding were associated with subsequent preterm labor, placental abruption, and pregnancy loss before 24 weeks. In a study of 347 patients with a first-trimester pregnancy documented by ultrasonography, the overall rate of pregnancy loss was 6.1% to 4.2% in patients without bleeding and 12.4% in patients with bleeding (4). Second, the patient may be noted to have little bleeding from the vagina but deteriorating vital signs manifested by low blood pressure and rapid pulse, falling hematocrit level, and flank or abdominal pain. Bleeding from a previa usu in a woman who has had an uneventful prenatal course.
A 23-year-old G1 at 10 weeks gestation based on her last menstrual period is brought to the emergency department by her husband due to sudden vaginal bleeding. She says that she has mild lower abdominal cramps and is feeling dizzy and weak. Her blood pressure is 100/60 mm Hg, the pulse is 100/min, and the respiration rate is 15/min. She says that she has had light spotting over the last 3 days, but today the bleeding increased markedly and she also noticed the passage of clots. She says that she has changed three pads since the morning. She has also noticed that the nausea she was experiencing over the past few days has subsided. The physician examines her and notes that the cervical os is open and blood is pooling in the vagina. Products of conception can be visualized in the os. The patient is prepared for a suction curettage. Which of the following is the most likely cause for the pregnancy loss?
Antiphospholipid syndrome
Chromosomal abnormalities
A 5-month-old boy is brought to his physician because of vomiting, night sweats, and tremors. A newborn boy with respiratory distress, lethargy, and hypernatremia. Often neonates will have an abdominal mass at presentation.Diagnosis. If the condition began before 3 weeks’ corrected age, the crying has a diurnal pattern consistent with colic (afternoon and evening clustering), the infant is otherwise developing and thriving, and no organic cause is found, a diagnosis of colic is indicated.
An 8-month-old boy is brought to a medical office by his mother. The mother states that the boy has been very fussy and has not been feeding recently. The mother thinks the baby has been gaining weight despite not feeding well. The boy was delivered vaginally at 39 weeks gestation without complications. On physical examination, the boy is noted to be crying in his mother’s arms. There is no evidence of cyanosis, and the cardiac examination is within normal limits. The crying intensifies when the abdomen is palpated. The abdomen is distended with tympany in the left lower quadrant. You suspect a condition caused by the failure of specialized cells to migrate. What is the most likely diagnosis?
Patients present with myalgias, muscle weakness, and atrophy affecting the thigh and calf muscles. Usually, there is sciatica and chronic pain in the back and lower extremities, but sensorimotor and reflex changes in the legs are variable. Some of the commonest conditions that affect the legs are peripheral neuropathy (particularly associated with diabetes mellitus), lumbar nerve root lesions (associated with pathology of the intervertebral discs), fibular nerve palsy, and spastic paraparesis. In cases of total leg and thigh weakness, one first considers a spinal cord disease.
A 60-year-old man seeks evaluation at a medical office due to leg pain while walking. He says the pain starts in his buttocks and extends to his thighs and down to his calves. Previously, the pain resolved with rest, but the pain now persists in his feet, even during rest. His past medical history is significant for diabetes mellitus, hypertension, and cigarette smoking. The vital signs are within normal limits. The physical examination shows an atrophied leg with bilateral loss of hair. Which of the following is the most likely cause of this patient’s condition?
Decreased permeability of endothelium
Narrowing and calcification of vessels

A population-based study. A population-based study. The Harvard Medical Practice Study, one of the largest studies to address this issue, was performed with hospitalized patients in New York. An epidemiologic, population-based study.
A recent study attempted to analyze whether increased "patient satisfaction" driven healthcare resulted in increased hospitalization. In this hospital, several of the wards adopted new aspects of "patient satisfaction" driven healthcare, whereas the remainder of the hospital continued to use existing protocols. Baseline population characteristics and demographics were collected at the start of the study. At the end of the following year, hospital use was assessed and compared between the two groups. Which of the following best describes this type of study?
Retrospective case-control
Even a screening test with 98% specificity and 50% sensitivity would have a positive predictive value of only about 1%. The Accuracy of Screening A screening test’s accuracy or ability to discriminate disease is described by four indices: sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value, and negative predictive value (Table 100-2). Although the diagnostic accuracy of this imaging method is high (sensitivity, 90–94%; specificity, 95–97%; negative predictive value, 93–99%), its prognostic utility has not been defined. The sensitivity and specificity for the diagnosis are about 95% each.
A new screening test utilizing a telemedicine approach to diagnosing diabetic retinopathy has been implemented in a diabetes clinic. An ophthalmologist’s exam was also performed on all patients as the gold standard for diagnosis. In a pilot study of 500 patients, the screening test detected the presence of diabetic retinopathy in 250 patients. Ophthalmologist exam confirmed a diagnosis of diabetic retinopathy in 200 patients who tested positive in the screening test, as well as 10 patients who tested negative in the screening test. What is the sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value, and negative predictive value of the screening test?
Sensitivity = 83%, Specificity = 95%, PPV = 80%, NPV = 96%

In normal individuals, the amplitude of the evoked muscle action potentials does not change at these rates of stimulation. FIGURE 27–6 Muscle contraction responses to different patterns of nerve stimulation used in monitoring skeletal muscle relaxation. Length-tension analysis of cardiac muscle, for example, shows a dramatic increase in passive tension as cardiac muscle is stretched beyond its resting length. Exercising the muscle for 10 s before stimulation will cause a posttetanic facilitation in patients with the Lambert-Eaton syndrome (200-fold increases are not uncommon).
A healthy 22-year-old male participates in a research study you are leading to compare the properties of skeletal and cardiac muscle. You conduct a 3-phased experiment with the participant. In the first phase, you get him to lift up a 2.3 kg (5 lb) weight off a table with his left hand. In the second phase, you get him to do 20 burpees, taking his heart rate to 150/min. In the third phase, you electrically stimulate his gastrocnemius with a frequency of 50 Hz. You are interested in the tension and electrical activity of specific muscles as follows: Biceps in phase 1, cardiac muscle in phase 2, and gastrocnemius in phase 3. What would you expect to be happening in the phases and the respective muscles of interest?
Recruitment of small motor units at the start of experiments 1 and 2
Recruitment of large motor units followed by small motor units in experiment 1
Fused tetanic contraction at the end of all three experiments
Increase of tension in all phases
This history may give a significant clue to the type of injury and the likely findings on clinical examination, for example, if the patient was kicked around the medial aspect of the knee, a valgus deformity injury to the tibial collateral ligament might be suspected. The knee will also be assessed for: joint line tenderness, patellofemoral movement and instability, presence of an effusion, muscle injury, and popliteal fossa masses. The patient developed significant deformity of the knee over time, including a large effusion in the lateral aspect. B. Knee joint showing a torn tibial collateral ligament.
A 20-year-old male comes into your office two days after falling during a pick up basketball game. The patient states that the lateral aspect of his knee collided with another player's knee. On exam, the patient's right knee appears the same size as his left knee without any swelling or effusion. The patient has intact sensation and strength in both lower extremities. The patient's right knee has no laxity upon varus stress test, but is more lax upon valgus stress test when compared to his left knee. Lachman's test and posterior drawer test both have firm endpoints without laxity. Which of the following structures has this patient injured?
Posterior cruciate ligament
Anterior cruciate ligament
Medial collateral ligament
Lateral collateral ligament
If the edema is generalized, one should first determine if there is serious hypoalbuminemia, e.g., serum albumin <25 g/L. FIgURE 40e-9 Optic disc swelling in a patient with papilledema due to idiopathic intracranial hypertension. For most cases, preferred treatment is laparoscopic adrenalectomy (Neumann, 2015). Mild cerebral edema is commonly observed in children during treatment with fluids and insulin (Krane et al).
A 4-year-old boy is brought to the physician because of swelling around his eyes for 4 days. The swelling is most severe in the morning and milder by bedtime. Ten days ago, he had a sore throat that resolved spontaneously. His temperature is 37°C (98.6°F), pulse is 103/min, and blood pressure is 88/52 mm Hg. Examination shows 3+ pitting edema of the lower extremities and periorbital edema. The remainder of the examination shows no abnormalities. Laboratory studies show: Hemoglobin 15.3 g/dL Leukocyte count 10,500/mm3 Platelet count 480,000/mm3 Serum Urea nitrogen 36 mg/dL Glucose 67 mg/dL Creatinine 0.8 mg/dL Albumin 2.6 mg/dL Urine Blood negative Glucose negative Protein 4+ RBC none WBC 0–1/hpf Fatty casts numerous Protein/creatinine ratio 6.8 (N ≤0.2) Serum complement concentrations are within the reference ranges. Which of the following is the most appropriate next step in management?"

The patient first notices mild general weakness and paresthesias consisting of tingling, “pins and needles” feelings, or other vaguely described sensations. Patients usually present with numbness and paresthesias in the distal extremities that are often asymmetric. In addition, clinical signs (such as pain, pins-and-needles sensations, paresthesia, and fascicular muscle twitching) resulting from any disorder affecting these spinal nerves (e.g., herniated intervertebral disc in the lumbar region) appear in the lower limb. The patient, after being asleep for a few hours, is awakened by numbness or a tingling, prickling, “pins-and-needles” feeling in the fingers, and hands.
An 18-year-old man comes to the clinic with his mom for “pins and needles” of both of his arms. He denies any past medical history besides a recent anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) tear that was repaired 1 week ago. The patient reports that the paresthesias are mostly located along the posterior forearms, left more than the right. What physical examination finding would you expect from this patient?
Loss of forearm flexion and supination
In an epileptic patient known to be taking seizure medications chronically but in whom the serum level of drug is unknown, it is probably best to administer the full-recommended dose of phenytoin. The patient had been taking phenytoin (his only medication) since the onset of the seizure disorder. Phenytoin is contraindicated in toxicologic seizures: Animal and human data demonstrate worse outcomes after phenytoin loading, especially Errors in dosing by health care providers may require educational efforts.
A 9-year-old girl is resuscitated after the administration of an erroneous dose of intravenous phenytoin for recurrent seizures. This incident is reported to the authorities. A thorough investigation reveals various causative factors leading to the event. One important finding is a verbal misunderstanding of the dose of phenytoin between the ordering senior resident and the receiving first-year resident during the handover of the patient. To minimize the risk of this particular error in the future, the most appropriate management is to implement which of the following?
Closed-loop communication
Patients should avoid intense athletic competition and training. Unless foul play is suspected, the health care team need not contact the medical examiner either. Approach to the Patient with Possible Cardiovascular Disease Obviously those found to have serious heart disease should give up competitive sports, but the majority has no demonstrable cardiac abnormality.
You are the team physician for an NBA basketball team. On the morning of an important playoff game, an EKG of a star player, Mr. P, shows findings suspicious for hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM). Mr. P is an otherwise healthy, fit, professional athlete. The playoff game that night is the most important of Mr. P's career. When you inform the coach that you are thinking of restricting Mr. P's participation, he threatens to fire you. Later that day you receive a phone call from the owner of the team threatening a lawsuit should you restrict Mr. P's ability to play. Mr. P states that he will be playing in the game "if it's the last thing I do." Which of the following is the most appropriate next step?
Consult with a psychiatrist to have Mr. P committed
Call the police and have Mr. P arrested
Allow Mr. P to play against medical advice
Educate Mr. P about the risks of HCM

The newborn (particularly a preterm infant) responds paradoxically to hypoxia with apnea rather than tachypnea as occurs in adults. Transient tachypnea of the newborn may be caused by retained lung fluid or slow resorption of lung fluid. Speciically, the rates of transient tachypnea of the newborn were 6.7 and 9.9 percent in those given betamethasone and placebo, respectively. Transient tachypnea of the newborn usually is noted in larger premature infants and in term infants born by precipitous delivery or cesarean section without prior labor.
Several hours after vaginal delivery, a male newborn delivered at full-term develops tachycardia and tachypnea. His blood pressure is within normal limits.

Mutations of the red and green pigments cause congenital X-linked color blindness in 8% of males. Each son born to a female carrier of an X-linked recessive trait has a 50% chance of inheriting the trait, but none of this woman’s daughters would be affected (each daughter has a 50% chance of being a carrier). When a woman carries a gene causing an X-linked recessive condition, each of her sons has a 50-percent risk of being afected, and each daughter has a 50-percent chance of being a carrier. In this situation, there is a 25% chance that the offspring will have a normal genotype, a 50% probability of a heterozygous state, and a 25% risk of homozygosity for the recessive alleles (Figs.

Crit Care Clin 31(1)67,t2015 Maghsoudi H, Samnia R, Garadaghi A, et aI: Burns in pregnancy. Burning with urination from noninfectious causes may be difficult to distinguish from a urinary tract infection, although some women can distinguish pain when the urine hits the vulvar area (an external dysuria) from burning pain (often suprapubic in location) during urination. Management of acute urinary reten-tion.
A 23-year-old pregnant woman at 22 weeks gestation presents with burning upon urination. She states it started 1 day ago and has been worsening despite drinking more water and taking cranberry extract. She otherwise feels well and is followed by a doctor for her pregnancy. Her temperature is 97.7°F (36.5°C), blood pressure is 122/77 mmHg, pulse is 80/min, respirations are 19/min, and oxygen saturation is 98% on room air. Physical exam is notable for an absence of costovertebral angle tenderness and a gravid uterus. Which of the following is the best treatment for this patient?
Death of a healthy infant (1 month to 1 year old) without obvious cause Once the child became comatose, death was almost inevitable. lthough this is less clear, some recommend that fetal death not attributable to other causes (Dizon-Townson, 1998; Lockshin, 1995). The most common cause of death for infants 1 month to 1 year of age is motor vehicle crashes.
A 3-month-old baby died suddenly at night while asleep. His mother noticed that he had died only after she awoke in the morning. No cause of death was determined based on the autopsy. Which of the following precautions could have prevented the death of the baby?
Placing the infant in a supine position on a firm mattress while sleeping
Keeping the infant covered and maintaining a high room temperature
Application of a device to maintain the sleeping position
Avoiding pacifier use during sleep
In neonates, difficulty in feeding is the usual presentation. The infant is fretful, feeds poorly, and may vomit frequently. Infants often present with constipation and poor feeding. With the most-severe neonatal type, the infant appears normal at birth, but toward the end of the first week, poor feeding, intermittent hypertonicity, opisthotonos, and respiratory irregularities appear.
A mother brings her 3-week-old infant to the pediatrician's office because she is concerned about his feeding habits. He was born without complications and has not had any medical problems up until this time. However, for the past 4 days, he has been fussy, is regurgitating all of his feeds, and his vomit is yellow in color. On physical exam, the child's abdomen is minimally distended but no other abnormalities are appreciated. Which of the following embryologic errors could account for this presentation?
Abnormal migration of ventral pancreatic bud
Complete failure of proximal duodenum to recanalize
Abnormal hypertrophy of the pylorus
Failure of lateral body folds to move ventrally and fuse in the midline
Which one of the following etiologies most likely explains this patient’s pulmonary symptoms? Suspect pulmonary embolism in a patient with rapid onset of hypoxia, hypercapnia, tachycardia, and an ↑ alveolar-arterial oxygen gradient without another obvious explanation. Tachypnea and hypoxemia point toward a pulmonary cause. Pulmonary dysfunction often results in hypoxemia.
A pulmonary autopsy specimen from a 58-year-old woman who died of acute hypoxic respiratory failure was examined. She had recently undergone surgery for a fractured femur 3 months ago. Initial hospital course was uncomplicated, and she was discharged to a rehab facility in good health. Shortly after discharge home from rehab, she developed sudden shortness of breath and had cardiac arrest. Resuscitation was unsuccessful. On histological examination of lung tissue, fibrous connective tissue around the lumen of the pulmonary artery is observed. Which of the following is the most likely pathogenesis for the present findings?
Pulmonary passive congestion
Age and the prevalence of bleeding disorders in women with menorrhagia. Predictors of menorrhagia include bleeding resulting in iron-deficiency anemia or a need for blood transfusion, passage of clots >1 inch in diameter, and changing a pad or tampon more than hourly. Therefore, other possible etiologies, including coagulopathies such as von Willebrand’s disease, should be considered in a woman with heavy menstrual bleeding (46). A history of easy bruising, petechiae, bleeding from mucous membranes, or prolonged bleeding from minor wounds may signify an underlying abnormality of platelet function.
A 20-year-old woman presents with menorrhagia for the past several years. She says that her menses “have always been heavy”, and she has experienced easy bruising for as long as she can remember. Family history is significant for her mother, who had similar problems with bruising easily. The patient's vital signs include: heart rate 98/min, respiratory rate 14/min, temperature 36.1°C (96.9°F), and blood pressure 110/87 mm Hg. Physical examination is unremarkable. Laboratory tests show the following: platelet count 200,000/mm3, PT 12 seconds, and PTT 43 seconds. Which of the following is the most likely cause of this patient’s symptoms?
History Moderate to severe acute abdominal pain; copious emesis. Severe abdominal pain, fever. The patient had noted 2 days of abdominal pain and fever, and his clinical evaluation and CT scan were consistent with appendicitis. Any severe acute pain in the abdomen or back should suggest the possibility of acute pancreatitis.
A 40-year-old zookeeper presents to the emergency department complaining of severe abdominal pain that radiates to her back, and nausea. The pain started 2 days ago and slowly increased until she could not tolerate it any longer. Past medical history is significant for hypertension and hypothyroidism. Additionally, she reports that she was recently stung by one of the zoo’s smaller scorpions, but did not seek medical treatment. She takes aspirin, levothyroxine, oral contraceptive pills, and a multivitamin daily. Family history is noncontributory. Today, her blood pressure is 108/58 mm Hg, heart rate is 99/min, respiratory rate is 21/min, and temperature is 37.0°C (98.6°F). On physical exam, she is a well-developed, obese female that looks unwell. Her heart has a regular rate and rhythm. Radial pulses are weak but symmetric.

A 3900-g (8.6-lb) male infant is delivered at 39 weeks' gestation via spontaneous vaginal delivery. Pregnancy and delivery were uncomplicated but a prenatal ultrasound at 20 weeks showed a defect in the pleuroperitoneal membrane. Further evaluation of this patient is most likely to show which of the following findings?
Gastric fundus in the thorax
Pancreatic ring around the duodenum
Hypertrophy of the gastric pylorus
Large bowel in the inguinal canal
Maintain rate and BP control via β-blockers, ACEIs, ARBs, or CCBs. If stable or chronic, rate control with calcium channel blockers or β-blockers. If precipitated by tachycardia, heart rate control with �-blocking agents is preferred. Treatment: anticoagulation, rate and rhythm control and/or cardioversion.
A 62-year-old woman presents for a regular check-up. She complains of lightheadedness and palpitations which occur episodically. Past medical history is significant for a myocardial infarction 6 months ago and NYHA class II chronic heart failure. She also was diagnosed with grade I arterial hypertension 4 years ago. Current medications are aspirin 81 mg, atorvastatin 10 mg, enalapril 10 mg, and metoprolol 200 mg daily.

Cardiopulmonary examination is significant for irregular heart rhythm and decreased S1 intensity. ECG is obtained and is shown in the picture (see image). Echocardiography shows a left ventricular ejection fraction of 39%. Which of the following drugs is the best choice for rate control in this patient?
Chronic sinusitis (4–12 weeks): Adjuvant therapy with intranasal corticosteroids, decongestants, and antihistamines may be useful in combating the allergic/infammatory component of the disease. Patients with perennial rhinitis commonly develop the problem in adult life, and manifest nasal congestion and a postnasal discharge, often associated with thickening of the sinus membranes demonstrated by radiography. Topical decongestants should be used for no longer than 3 days because prolonged use may lead to rebound vasodilation and worsening of symptoms. Patients experience constant nasal congestion and sinus pressure, with intermittent periods of greater severity, which may persist for years.
A 35-year-old male presents to his primary care physician with complaints of seasonal allergies. He has been using intranasal vasoconstrictors several times per day for several weeks. What is a likely sequela of the chronic use of topical nasal decongestants?
Persistent nasal crusting
Patients usually do not complain of diplopia, in contrast to patients having conditions with a more acute onset of ocular muscle weakness (e.g., myasthenia gravis). There is intermittent diplopia owing to paroxysmal contraction of one or more ocular muscles, usually after their activation. These ocular problems are potentially sight-threatening and warrant ophthalmologic evaluation. A history of prior trauma, eye surgery, contact lens use, diplopia, systemic symptoms (e.g., dysphagia or peripheral muscle weakness), or a family history of ptosis should be sought.
A 46-year-old woman comes to the physician because of a 2-week history of diplopia and ocular pain when reading the newspaper. She also has a 3-month history of amenorrhea, hot flashes, and increased sweating. She reports that she has been overweight all her adult life and is happy to have lost 6.8-kg (15-lb) of weight in the past 2 months. Her pulse is 110/min, and blood pressure is 148/98 mm Hg. Physical examination shows moist palms and a nontender thyroid gland that is enlarged to two times its normal size. Ophthalmologic examination shows prominence of the globes of the eyes, bilateral lid retraction, conjunctival injection, and an inability to converge the eyes. There is no pain on movement of the extraocular muscles. Visual acuity is 20/20 bilaterally. Neurologic examination shows a fine resting tremor of the hands. Deep tendon reflexes are 3+ with a shortened relaxation phase. Which of the following is the most likely cause of this patient's ocular complaints?
Granulomatous inflammation of the cavernous sinus
Abnormal communication between the cavernous sinus and the internal carotid artery
Glycosaminoglycan accumulation in the orbit

His parents state that they first noticed the change in his behavior this morning and it has been getting worse. They noticed the patient was initially weak in his upper body and arms, but now he won’t move his legs with as much strength or vigor as he used to. Physical exam is notable for bilateral ptosis with a sluggish pupillary response, a very weak sucking and gag reflex, and shallow respirations. The patient is currently drooling and his diaper is dry. The parents state he has not had a bowel movement in over 1 day. Which of the following is the pathophysiology of this patient’s condition?
Autoantibodies against the presynaptic voltage-gated calcium channels
Autoimmune demyelination of peripheral nerves
Blockade of presynaptic acetylcholine release at the neuromuscular junction
Lower motor neuron destruction in the anterior horn
A female neonate appeared healthy until age ~24 hours, when she became lethargic. She appeared normal at birth. The child’s overall appearance, evidence of growth failure, orfailure to thrive may point to a significant underlying inflammatory disorder. Poor feeding and failure to gain weight, instability of temperature (mainly hypothermia), and seizures become apparent in early infancy.
A 9-month-old female is brought to the emergency department after experiencing a seizure. She was born at home and was normal at birth according to her parents. Since then, they have noticed that she does not appear to be achieving developmental milestones as quickly as her siblings, and often appears lethargic. Physical exam reveals microcephaly, very light pigmentation (as compared to her family), and a "musty" body odor. The varied manifestations of this disease can most likely be attributed to which of the following genetic principles?
By MRI one can, in advanced cases, appreciate atrophy of the dorsal mesencephalon (superior colliculi, red nuclei) giving rise to a “mouse ears” configuration (Fig. Imaging studies demonstrate the cerebellocerebral abnormality. Pathology of the Ear. Gen erally, other sonographic abnormalities are evident.

Patients developing neurologic symptoms in the lower extremities, severe localized back pain, or problems with bowel and bladder control may need emergency MRI and local radiation therapy and glucocorticoids if cord compression is identified. Any patient with cancer who has severe back pain should undergo an MRI. New back pain in patients with cancer should be explored aggressively on an emergent basis; to wait for neurologic symptoms is a potentially catastrophic error. The patient may occasionally complain of back pain only.
A 69-year-old male presents to the emergency room with back pain. He has a history of personality disorder and metastatic prostate cancer and was not a candidate for surgical resection.

Does this patient have acute cholecystitis? She is in no acute distress, and there are no other significant physical findings; an electrocardiogram is normal except for slight left ventricular hypertrophy. In this setting, it is reasonable to proceed to right heart catheterization for definitive diagnosis. The patient is toxic and has high fever, tachycardia, and marked hypovo-lemia, which if uncorrected, progresses to cardiovascular col-lapse.
A 42-year-old woman is in the hospital recovering from a cholecystectomy performed 3 days ago that was complicated by cholangitis. She is being treated with IV piperacillin-tazobactam. She calls the nurse to her room because she says that her heart is racing. She also demands that someone come in to clean the pile of garbage off of the floor because it is attracting flies. Her pulse is 112/min, respiratory rate is 20/min, temperature is 38.0°C (100.4°F), and blood pressure is 150/90 mm Hg. On physical examination, the patient appears sweaty, distressed, and unable to remain still. She is oriented to person, but not place or time. Palpation of the abdomen shows no tenderness, rebound, or guarding. Which of the following is the most likely diagnosis in this patient?
E. Treatment involves corticosteroids, UV light with psoralen, or immune-modulating therapy. Treatment options for early, rapidly progressive disease include phototherapy (UVA1 or PUVA) or methotrexate (15–20 mg/week) alone or in combination with daily glucocorticoids. The immediate treatment almost invariably includes transfusion of red cells. Mild disease is treated topically with ointments containing corticosteroids or other immunomodulatory agents, whereas more severe disease is treated with phototherapy (which has immunosuppressive effects) or systemic therapy with immunosuppressive agents such as methotrexate or TNF antagonists.
A 48-year-old woman comes to the emergency department because of a photosensitive blistering rash on her hands, forearms, and face for 3 weeks. The lesions are not itchy. She has also noticed that her urine has been dark brown in color recently. Twenty years ago, she was successfully treated for Coats disease of the retina via retinal sclerotherapy. She is currently on hormonal replacement therapy for perimenopausal symptoms. Her aunt and sister have a history of a similar skin lesions. Examination shows multiple fluid-filled blisters and oozing erosions on the forearms, dorsal side of both hands, and forehead. There is hyperpigmented scarring and patches of bald skin along the sides of the blisters. Laboratory studies show a normal serum ferritin concentration. Which of the following is the most appropriate next step in management to induce remission in this patient?
Pursue liver transplantation
Begin oral thalidomide therapy
Begin oral hydroxychloroquine therapy
Presents with painless hematuria, flank pain, abdominal mass. Colicky flank pain radiating to the groin suggests acute ureteric obstruction. Characterized by abdominal (flank) pain and gross hematuria (from rupture of thin-walled renal varicosities). B. Presents with gross hematuria and flank pain
A 53-year-old man comes to the emergency department because of severe right-sided flank pain for 3 hours. The pain is colicky, radiates towards his right groin, and he describes it as 8/10 in intensity. He has vomited once. He has no history of similar episodes in the past. Last year, he was treated with naproxen for swelling and pain of his right toe. He has a history of hypertension. He drinks one to two beers on the weekends. Current medications include amlodipine. He appears uncomfortable. His temperature is 37.1°C (99.3°F), pulse is 101/min, and blood pressure is 130/90 mm Hg. Examination shows a soft, nontender abdomen and right costovertebral angle tenderness. An upright x-ray of the abdomen shows no abnormalities.

Affected individuals typically present with breast development (usually only to Tanner stage 3) out of proportion with the amount of pubic and axillary hair present (Fig. At that point, the finding of the progressive developmentof pubic and axillary hair in the presence of testes that remaininfantile in volume should alert the clinician to the disorder. After ruling out androgen-secreting tumors and congenital adrenal hyperplasia, treatment may be aimed at decreasing coarse hair growth. Scores above 8 suggest excess androgen-mediated hair growth, a finding that should be assessed further by means of hormonal evaluation (see below).
A 5-year-old girl is brought to the clinic by her mother for excessive hair growth. Her mother reports that for the past 2 months she has noticed hair at the axillary and pubic areas. She denies any family history of precocious puberty and reports that her daughter has been relatively healthy with an uncomplicated birth history. She denies any recent illnesses, weight change, fever, vaginal bleeding, pain, or medication use. Physical examination demonstrates Tanner stage 4 development. A pelvic ultrasound shows an ovarian mass. Laboratory studies demonstrates an elevated level of estrogen. What is the most likely diagnosis?
Idiopathic precocious puberty
A child who is repeatedly kept home from school becauseof pain receives reinforcement in the form of being excusedfrom responsibilities and withdraws from full social functioning. B. Clinically significant problematic behavioral changes (e.g., belligerence, assaultive- ness, impulsiveness. In severely worried children, defensive aggression may be used to prevent attendance. A 19-year-old college sophomore began to show paranoid traits.
A 16-year-old boy is brought to the physician by his mother because she is worried about his behavior. Yesterday, he was expelled from school for repeatedly skipping classes. Over the past 2 months, he was suspended 3 times for bullying and aggressive behavior towards his peers and teachers. Once, his neighbor found him smoking cigarettes in his backyard. In the past, he consistently maintained an A grade average and had been a regular attendee of youth group events at their local church. The mother first noticed this change in behavior 3 months ago, around the time at which his father moved out after discovering his wife was having an affair. Which of the following defense mechanisms best describes the change in this patient's behavior?
Inquiry should be made into the nature of the double vision (purely side-by-side versus partial vertical displacement of images), mode of onset, duration, intermittency, diurnal variation, and associated neurologic or systemic symptoms. A 33-year-old fit and well woman came to the emergency department complaining of double vision and pain behind her right eye. Subsequent eye examinations depend on severity of retinopathy and level of diabetes control. Because many individuals with type 2 DM have had asymptomatic diabetes for several years before diagnosis, the American Diabetes Association (ADA) recommends the following ophthalmologic examination schedule: (1) individuals with type 1 DM should have an initial eye examination within 5 years of diagnosis, (2) individuals with type 2 DM should have an initial eye examination at the time of diabetes diagnosis, (3) women with DM who are pregnant or contemplating pregnancy should have an eye examination prior to conception and during the first trimester, and (4) if eye exam is normal, repeat examination in 2–3 years is appropriate.
A 63-year-old woman presents to her primary-care doctor for a 2-month history of vision changes, specifically citing the gradual onset of double vision. Her double vision is present all the time and does not get better or worse throughout the day. She has also noticed that she has a hard time keeping her right eye open, and her right eyelid looks 'droopy' in the mirror. Physical exam findings during primary gaze are shown in the photo. Her right pupil is 6 mm and poorly reactive to light. The rest of her neurologic exam is unremarkable. Laboratory studies show an Hb A1c of 5.0%. Which of the following is the next best test for this patient?
MR angiography of the head
Many polypeptides are covalently modified, either while they are still attached to the ribosome (cotranslational) or after their synthesis has been completed (posttranslational). Many polypeptide chains are covalently modified during or after translation. Elongation of the polypeptide involves the addition of amino acids to the carboxyl end of the growing chain. As polypeptide chains are synthesized by the membrane-bound polysomes, the protein is injected into the lumen of the rER cisterna, where it is further modified post-translationally by enzymes.
An investigator is studying the modification of newly formed polypeptides in plated eukaryotic cells. After the polypeptides are released from the ribosome, a chemically-tagged protein attaches covalently to lysine residues on the polypeptide chain, forming a modified polypeptide. When a barrel-shaped complex is added to the cytoplasm, the modified polypeptide lyses, resulting in individual amino acids and the chemically-tagged proteins. Which of the following post-translational modifications has most likely occurred?
The pathology of the optic nerve in amblyopia in the alcoholic has been described by Victor and colleagues (1960). Adams et al observed a rapidly evolving quadriplegia and pseudobulbar palsy in a young alcoholic man who had entered the hospital 10 days earlier with symptoms of alcohol withdrawal. chronic alcohol consumption; presents with confabulation, personality changes, memory loss (permanent). The most common pathologic change in most reports has been characteristic of Alzheimer disease.
A 38-year-old man presents to his physician with double vision persisting for a week. When he enters the exam room, the physician notes that the patient has a broad-based gait. The man’s wife informs the doctor that he has been an alcoholic for the last 5 years and his consumption of alcohol has increased significantly over the past few months. She also reports that he has become indifferent to his family members over time and is frequently agitated. She also says that his memory has been affected significantly, and when asked about a particular detail, he often recollects it incorrectly, though he insists that his version is the true one. On physical examination, his vital signs are stable, but when the doctor asks him where he is, he seems to be confused. His neurological examination also shows nystagmus. Which of the following options describes the earliest change in the pathophysiology of the central nervous system in this man?
Decreased α-ketoglutarate dehydrogenase activity in astrocytes
Increased extracellular concentration of glutamate
Increased astrocyte lactate
Breakdown of the blood-brain barrier
Antiplatelet agents, such as aspirin, should be given to patients with transient ischemic attacks, and if these are not effective, warfarin should be considered. One currently favored approach, based in part on the WARSS trial, is to simply administer aspirin in all cases of acute stroke. Currently, most stroke neu-rologists prescribe both aspirin and clopidogrel for secondary 1Brunicardi_Ch23_p0897-p0980.indd 91027/02/19 4:14 PM 911ARTERIAL DISEASECHAPTER 23stroke prevention in patients who have experienced a TIA or stroke.19 In patients with symptomatic carotid stenosis, the degree of stenosis appears to be the most important predic-tor in determining risk for an ipsilateral stroke.

A 69-year-old man is brought by his son to the emergency department with weakness in his right arm and leg. The man insists that he is fine and blames his son for "creating panic". Four hours ago the patient was having tea with his wife when he suddenly dropped his teacup. He has had difficulty moving his right arm since then and cannot walk because his right leg feels stuck. He has a history of hypertension and dyslipidemia, for which he currently takes lisinopril and atorvastatin, respectively. He is allergic to aspirin and peanuts. A computerized tomography (CT) scan shows evidence of an ischemic stroke. Which medication would most likely prevent such attacks in this patient in the future?
Pain worse at rest or at night Prior history of cancer History of chronic infection (especially lung, urinary tract, skin) History of trauma Incontinence Age >70 years Intravenous drug use Glucocorticoid use History of a rapidly progressive neurologic deficit Neutropenic enterocolitis is often identified as a cause of abdominal pain and fever in some patients with bone marrow suppression due to chemotherapy. Most patients typically have blood in the urine (hematuria), pain in the infrascapular region (loin), and a mass. A 55-year-old male presents with irritative and obstructive urinary symptoms.
A 70-year-old man presents to a medical clinic reporting blood in his urine and lower abdominal pain for the past few days. He is also concerned about urinary frequency and urgency. He states that he recently completed a cycle of chemotherapy for non-Hodgkin lymphoma. Which medication in the chemotherapy regimen most likely caused his symptoms?
Treatment of bites includes local washing and elevation of the bitten area, tetanus prophylaxis, and analgesic administration. Care of the bite wound includes simple cleansing with soap and water; application of a dry, sterile dressing; and splinting of the affected extremity with padding between the digits. Each year, 800,000 Americans seek medical attention for dog bites; of those injured, 386,000 require treatment in an emergency department, with >1000 emergency department visits each day and about a dozen deaths per year. Antibiotics may also be considered if misguided first aid efforts have included incision or mouth suction of the bite site.
A 27-year-old man presents to the emergency department after a dog bite. The patient was intoxicated and pulled the dog’s tail while it was eating. The dog belongs to his friend and is back at his friend’s house currently. Physical exam is notable for a dog bite on the patient’s right arm. The wound is irrigated and explored with no retained bodies found. A tetanus vaccination is administered. Which of the following is appropriate management of this patient?
Administer amoxicillin-clavulanic acid
Administer trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole
Close the wound with sutures and discharge the patient
Discharge the patient with outpatient follow up

A 19-year-old woman, accompanied by her parents, presents after a one-week history of abnormal behavior, delusions, and unusual aggression. She denies fever, seizures or illicit drug use. Family history is negative for psychiatric illnesses. She was started on risperidone and sent home with her parents. Three days later, she is brought to the emergency department with fever and confusion. She is not verbally responsive. At the hospital, her temperature is 39.8°C (103.6°F), the blood pressure is 100/60 mm Hg, the pulse rate is 102/min, and the respiratory rate is 16/min. She is extremely diaphoretic and appears stiff. She has spontaneous eye-opening but she is not verbally responsive and she is not following commands. Laboratory studies show: Sodium 142 mmol/L Potassium 5.0 mmol/L Creatinine 1.8 mg/dl Calcium 10.4 mg/dl Creatine kinase 9800 U/L White blood cells 14,500/mm3 Hemoglobin 12.9 g/dl Platelets 175,000/mm3 Urinalysis shows protein 1+, hemoglobin 3+ with occasional leukocytes and no red blood casts. What is the best first step in the management of this condition?
Switch risperidone to clozapine
A 33-year-old fit and well woman came to the emergency department complaining of double vision and pain behind her right eye. Initially, weakness begins with extraocular muscles, drooping eyelids, double vision, and generalized muscular weakness. Blurring of vision, diplopia, and ptosis may attend the drowsiness and may bring the patient first to an ophthalmologist. A 56-year-old woman is brought to the university eye center with a complaint of “loss of vision.” Because of visual impair-ment, she has lost her driver’s license and has fallen several times in her home.
A 35-year-old woman comes to the physician because of a 1-month history of double vision, difficulty climbing stairs, and weakness when trying to brush her hair. She reports that these symptoms are worse after she exercises and disappear after she rests for a few hours. Physical examination shows drooping of her right upper eyelid that worsens when the patient is asked to gaze at the ceiling for 2 minutes. There is diminished motor strength in the upper extremities. The remainder of the examination shows no abnormalities. Which of the following is the most likely diagnosis?
Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis
He was euvolemic on examination, with no lymphadenopathy and a normal chest examination. B. Presents in late adulthood with painless lymphadenopathy B. Presents in late adulthood with painless lymphadenopathy Presents in infancy or early childhood with dyspnea and fatigability.
A 6-year-old male who recently immigrated to the United States from Asia is admitted to the hospital with dyspnea. Physical exam reveals a gray pseudomembrane in the patient's oropharynx along with lymphadenopathy. The patient develops myocarditis and expires on hospital day 5. Which of the following would have prevented this patient's presentation and decline?
Increased CD4+ T cell count
Secretory IgA against viral proteins

Circulating IgG against AB exotoxin
: Eventual AIDS vaccine failure in a rhesus monkey by viral escape from cytotoxic T lymphocytes. One patient with hypogammaglobulinemia who had been infected 12 years earlier and was receiving IV immune globulin suddenly developed quadriplegia and respiratory muscle paralysis and died; analysis showed that the virus had reverted to a more wild-type sequence. This child has acute falciparum malaria, and her lethargy and abnormal laboratory tests are consistent with progres-sion to severe disease. Excessive physical activity and local injections during the period of asymptomatic infection were thought to favor the development of paralysis of the exercised or injected limbs.
A 12-year-old boy who recently emigrated from Pakistan presents with fever, muscle pain, and weakness of the trunk, abdomen, and legs. The patient’s mother says that he has not been vaccinated. Physical examination reveals fasciculation and flaccid paralysis of the lower limbs. A CSF analysis reveals lymphocytosis with normal glucose and protein levels. A throat swab reveals an RNA virus. Which of the following would most likely be destroyed by the virus in this patient?
Posterior horn cells of the spinal cord
Anterior horn of the spinal cord
Additionally, the sigmoidal relationship between the velocity of the reaction and substrate concentration (see p. 98) maximizes the enzyme’s responsiveness to changes in blood glucose level. The other kinetic parameter frequently used to characterize an enzyme is its Km, the concentration of substrate that allows the reaction to proceed at one-half its maximum rate (0.5 Vmax) (see Figure 3–46). The rate of an enzyme-catalyzed reaction increases with substrate concentration until a maximal velocity (Vmax) is reached (Fig. kinetics enzyme for its substrate.
A researcher is studying the properties of an enzyme that adds phosphate groups to glucose. She discovers that the enzyme is present in most body tissues and is located in the cytoplasm of the cells expressing the enzyme. She decides to mix this enzyme under subphysiologic conditions with varying levels of glucose in order to determine the kinetic properties of the enzyme. Specifically, she adds increasing levels of glucose at a saturating concentration of phosphate and sees that the rate at which glucose becomes phosphorylated gets faster at higher levels of glucose. She observes that this rate approaches a maximum speed and calls this speed Y. She then determines the concentration of glucose that is needed to make the enzyme function at half the speed Y and calls this concentration X. Which of the following is most likely true about the properties of this enzyme?

A complex interplay between PGF2α and oxytocin is critical to the onset of labor.
A 31-year-old G2P2 female at 40 weeks gestation presents to the hospital following a rush of water that came from her vagina. She is 4 cm dilated and 80% effaced. Fetal heart tracing shows a pulse of 155/min with variable decelerations. About 12 hours after presentation, she gives birth to a 6 lb 15 oz baby boy with APGAR scores of 8 and 9 at 1 and 5 minutes, respectively. Which of the following structures is responsible for inhibition of female internal genitalia?
Which one of the following etiologies most likely explains this patient’s pulmonary symptoms? The hemoptysis (coughing up blood in the sputum) and the rest of the history suggest the patient has a lung infection. Fever, pharyngeal erythema, tonsillar exudate, lack of cough. Associated symptoms of fever and chills should raise the suspicion of infective etiologies, both pulmonary and systemic.
A 43-year-old woman presents to the emergency department complaining of palpitations, dry cough, and shortness of breath for 1 week. She immigrated to the United States from Korea at the age of 20. She says that her heart is racing and she has never felt these symptoms before. Her cough is dry and is associated with shortness of breath that occurs with minimal exertion. Her past medical history is otherwise unremarkable. She has no allergies and is not currently taking any medications. She is a nonsmoker and an occasional drinker. She denies illicit drug use. Her blood pressure is 100/65 mm Hg, pulse is 76/min, respiratory rate is 23/min, and temperature is 36.8°C (98.2°F). Her physical examination is significant for bibasilar lung crackles and a non-radiating, low-pitched, mid-diastolic rumbling murmur best heard at the apical region. In addition, she has jugular vein distention and bilateral pitting edema in her lower extremities. Which of the following best describes the infectious agent that led to this patient’s condition?

A bacterium that requires an anaerobic environment to grow properly
Based on data from population-based registries, approximately 1 in 8 liveborn and stillborn neonates with a congenital heart defect has a chromosomal abnormality (Dolk, 2010; Hartman, 201l). The recipient neonate may also have circulatory overload from heart failure and severe hypervolemia and hyperviscosity. Furthermore, echocardiography can facilitate evaluation for the several associated defects that can be present in critical neonatal AS, including mitral stenosis, LV hypoplasia, LV endo-cardial fibroelastosis, subaortic stenosis, VSD, or coarctation. Retinopathy of prematurity, Intraventricular hemorrhage, Bronchopulmonary dysplasia (RIB).
A male neonate is being examined by a pediatrician. His mother informs the doctor that she had a mild fever with rash, muscle pain, and swollen and tender lymph nodes during the second month of gestation. The boy was born at 39 weeks gestation via spontaneous vaginal delivery with no prenatal care. On physical examination, the neonate has normal vital signs. Retinal examination reveals the findings shown in the image. Which of the following congenital heart defects is most likely to be present in this neonate?
Ventricular septal defect
B. Presents with high fever, sore throat, drooling with dysphagia, muffled voice, and inspiratory stridor; risk ofairway obstruction This reflects a poor immune response to the virus in the acute phase of infection due to immaturity of the neonatal immune system, as well as infection by a viral strain that has already evaded an immune system that is genetically close to that of the child. High fever, leukocytosis, and a purulent nasal discharge are suggestive of acute bacterial sinusitis. Exceptional situations include lack of response to empirical therapy, unusually severe presentations, nosocomial pneumonia, and immunocompromised children susceptible to infections with opportunistic pathogens (Table 110-3).
A 4-year-old boy is brought to the emergency department by his parents. He is lethargic and confused and has a severe headache, vomiting, and a high-grade fever since earlier that day. His mother reports that the child was doing well until 2 days ago when he developed a fever and green nasal discharge. The patient has a history of neonatal sepsis, meningococcemia at 18 months of age, and pneumococcal pneumonia at 2 and 3 years of age. His scheduled vaccinations are up to date. His blood pressure is 70/50 mm Hg, heart rate is 120/min, respiratory rate is 22/min, and temperature is 39.3°C (102.4°F). On examination, the child is lethargic and his skin is pale, with several petechiae over his buttocks. There is a purulent nasal discharge from both nostrils. The lungs are clear to auscultation bilaterally. Heart sounds are normal. There is marked neck rigidity. Cerebrospinal fluid analysis shows the following results: Opening pressure 100 mm H2O Appearance cloudy Protein 500 mg/dL (5 g/L) White blood cells 2500/μL (polymorphonuclear predominance) Protein 450 mg/dL (4.5 g/L) Glucose 31 mg/dL (1.7 mmol/L) Culture positive for N. meningitidis Which of the following immunological processes is most likely to be impaired in this child?

Approach to the Patient with Disease of the Respiratory System approach to the patient with 305 Disease of the respiratory System Mild pulmonary disease or stable nodules: Treat supportively in the immunocompromised host. Immediate hospitalization and aggressive therapy are warranted for serious pulmonary infections.
A 66-year-old woman with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease is brought to the emergency department because of fever, body aches, malaise, and a dry cough. She has smoked one pack of cigarettes daily for 30 years but quit smoking 1 year ago. She lives with her daughter and her granddaughter, who attends daycare. Her temperature is 38.1°C (101°F). Physical examination shows bilateral conjunctivitis, rhinorrhea, and erythematous tonsils without exudates. Further testing confirms infection with an enveloped orthomyxovirus. Administration of a drug with which of the following mechanisms of action is most appropriate?
Inhibition of nucleoside reverse transcriptase
Inhibition of proton translocation
Inhibition of neuraminidase
Papillary carcinoma of thyroid Unilateral total lobectomy: is it sufficient surgical treatment for patients with AMES low-risk papillary thyroid carcinoma? If the diagnosis is uncertain, the lesions are classified as “suspicious for malignancy.” Lobec-tomy or near-total thyroidectomy is recommended because 60% to 75% turn out to be malignant. Some small papillary thyroid cancers (<1 cm) can be fol-lowed with active surveillance.6 Focused mini-incision parathyroidectomy, after appropri-ate localization, has become the procedure of choice for the treatment of sporadic primary hyperparathyroidism.7 Parathyroidectomy has been shown to improve the clas-sic and the so-called nonspecific symptoms and metabolic complications of primary hyperparathyroidism.8 Normocalcemic hyperparathyroidism is being increasingly recognized; however, there are no definitive guidelines for management.9 Very high calcium and parathyroid hormone levels in a patient with primary hyperparathyroidism should alert the surgeon to the presence of a possible parathyroid carcinoma.10 Subclinical Cushing’s syndrome is characterized by subtle abnormalities in corticosteroid synthesis, and many of its manifestations appear to be treated by adrenalectomy.11 Fine-needle aspiration biopsy has a very limited role in the evaluation of adrenal incidentalomas unless the patient has previously had a cancer and should only be performed after appropriate biochemical studies have been performed to rule out pheochromocytoma.12 Laparoscopic adrenalectomy has become the procedure of choice for excision of most adrenal lesions, except known or suspected cancers.Brunicardi_Ch38_p1625-p1704.indd 162601/03/19 11:20 AM 1627THYROID, PARATHYROID, AND ADRENALCHAPTER 38failed to fuse with the main thyroid, as previously suggested by Crile.
A 38-year-old woman undergoes hemithyroidectomy for treatment of localized, well-differentiated papillary thyroid carcinoma. The lesion is removed with clear margins. However, during the surgery, a structure lying directly adjacent to the superior thyroid artery at the upper pole of the thyroid lobe is damaged. This patient is most likely to experience which of the following symptoms?
Weakness of shoulder shrug
Which one of the following etiologies most likely explains this patient’s pulmonary symptoms? Difficulty in ventilation during resuscitation or high peak inspiratory pressures during mechanical ventilation strongly suggest the diagnosis. A 51-year-old man presents to the emergency department due to acute difficulty breathing. The patient is toxic, with fever, headache, and nuchal rigidity.
A 27-year-old man presents to the emergency room with persistent fever, nausea, and vomiting for the past 3 days. While waiting to be seen, he quickly becomes disoriented and agitated. Upon examination, he has visible signs of difficulty breathing with copious oral secretions and generalized muscle twitching. The patient’s temperature is 104°F (40°C), blood pressure is 90/64 mmHg, pulse is 88/min, and respirations are 18/min with an oxygen saturation of 90% on room air. When the nurse tries to place a nasal cannula, the patient becomes fearful and combative. The patient is sedated and placed on mechanical ventilation. Which of the following is a risk factor for the patient’s most likely diagnosis?
Immediate surgical exploration is mandatory for patients with shock and active ongoing hemorrhage from neck wounds. Stab wounds in a hemodynamically stable patient warrant a CT or FAST scan followed by close inpatient observation. After the initial resuscitative efforts and surgical debridement, the primary concern is the management of the open wound. Stab wounds in a hemodynamically unstable patient or in a patient with peritoneal signs or evisceration require immediate exploratory laparotomy.
A 21-year-old man presents to the emergency department after sustaining a stab wound to the neck at a local farmer's market. The patient is otherwise healthy and is complaining of pain. The patient is able to offer the history himself. His temperature is 97.6°F (36.4°C), blood pressure is 120/84 mmHg, pulse is 90/min, respirations are 15/min, and oxygen saturation is 98% on room air. Physical exam demonstrates a 3 cm laceration 1 cm inferior to the mastoid process on the right side. The patient's breath sounds are clear and he is protecting his airway. No stridor or difficulty breathing is noted. Which of the following is the most appropriate next step in the management of this patient?
Observation and blood pressure monitoring
Enlarged lymph nodes and rare malignancies such as rhabdomyosarcoma can occur either in the midline or laterally.LymphadenopathyThe most common cause of a neck mass in a child is an enlarged lymph node, which typically can be found laterally or in the midline. The typical symptom is a diffuse mass in the neck, which may be managed medically or may need surgical excision if the mass is large enough to affect the patient’s life or cause respiratory problems. Patients typically present with a pul-satile neck mass. The neck should be examined for thyromegaly.
A 13-year-old girl presents to a medical office for the evaluation of a lump on the front of her neck. The patient denies pain, but states that the mass bothers her because “it moves when I swallow”. The physical examination reveals a midline neck mass that is above the hyoid bone but below the level of the mandible. The mass is minimally mobile and feels fluctuant without erythema. The patient is afebrile and all vital signs are stable. A complete blood count and thyroid function tests are performed and are within normal limits. What is the most likely cause of this patient’s presentation?
Persistent thyroid tissue at the tongue base
Deletion of the 22q11 gene
Cyst formation in a persistent thyroglossal duct
Walking becomes increasingly awkward and tentative; the patient has a tendency to totter and fall repeatedly, but has no ataxia of gait or of the limbs and does not manifest a She was diag-nosed with Crohn’s disease 2 years ago, and it involves her terminal ileum and proximal colon, as confirmed by colonoscopy and small bowel radiography. Early prominent gait disturbance with only mild memory loss suggests vascular dementia or, rarely, NPH (see below). The patient was tentatively diagnosed with Alzheimer disease (AD).
A 35-year-old woman with a history of Crohn disease presents for a follow-up appointment. She says that lately, she has started to notice difficulty walking. She says that some of her friends have joked that she appears to be walking as if she was drunk. Past medical history is significant for Crohn disease diagnosed 2 years ago, managed with natalizumab for the past year because her intestinal symptoms have become severe and unresponsive to other therapies. On physical examination, there is gait and limb ataxia present. Strength is 4/5 in the right upper limb. A T1/T2 MRI of the brain is ordered and is shown. Which of the following is the most likely diagnosis?
Sporadic Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease (sCJD)
Variant Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease (vCJD)
Subacute sclerosing panencephalitis (SSPE)
Progressive multifocal encephalopathy (PML)
Both light and heavy bleeding were associated with subsequent preterm labor, placental abruption, and pregnancy loss before 24 weeks. In a study of 347 patients with a first-trimester pregnancy documented by ultrasonography, the overall rate of pregnancy loss was 6.1% to 4.2% in patients without bleeding and 12.4% in patients with bleeding (4). Second, the patient may be noted to have little bleeding from the vagina but deteriorating vital signs manifested by low blood pressure and rapid pulse, falling hematocrit level, and flank or abdominal pain. Bleeding from a previa usu in a woman who has had an uneventful prenatal course.
A 23-year-old G1 at 10 weeks gestation based on her last menstrual period is brought to the emergency department by her husband due to sudden vaginal bleeding. She says that she has mild lower abdominal cramps and is feeling dizzy and weak. Her blood pressure is 100/60 mm Hg, the pulse is 100/min, and the respiration rate is 15/min. She says that she has had light spotting over the last 3 days, but today the bleeding increased markedly and she also noticed the passage of clots. She says that she has changed three pads since the morning. She has also noticed that the nausea she was experiencing over the past few days has subsided. The physician examines her and notes that the cervical os is open and blood is pooling in the vagina. Products of conception can be visualized in the os. The patient is prepared for a suction curettage. Which of the following is the most likely cause for the pregnancy loss?
Antiphospholipid syndrome
Chromosomal abnormalities
A 5-month-old boy is brought to his physician because of vomiting, night sweats, and tremors. A newborn boy with respiratory distress, lethargy, and hypernatremia. Often neonates will have an abdominal mass at presentation.Diagnosis. If the condition began before 3 weeks’ corrected age, the crying has a diurnal pattern consistent with colic (afternoon and evening clustering), the infant is otherwise developing and thriving, and no organic cause is found, a diagnosis of colic is indicated.
An 8-month-old boy is brought to a medical office by his mother. The mother states that the boy has been very fussy and has not been feeding recently. The mother thinks the baby has been gaining weight despite not feeding well. The boy was delivered vaginally at 39 weeks gestation without complications. On physical examination, the boy is noted to be crying in his mother’s arms. There is no evidence of cyanosis, and the cardiac examination is within normal limits. The crying intensifies when the abdomen is palpated. The abdomen is distended with tympany in the left lower quadrant. You suspect a condition caused by the failure of specialized cells to migrate. What is the most likely diagnosis?
Patients present with myalgias, muscle weakness, and atrophy affecting the thigh and calf muscles. Usually, there is sciatica and chronic pain in the back and lower extremities, but sensorimotor and reflex changes in the legs are variable. Some of the commonest conditions that affect the legs are peripheral neuropathy (particularly associated with diabetes mellitus), lumbar nerve root lesions (associated with pathology of the intervertebral discs), fibular nerve palsy, and spastic paraparesis. In cases of total leg and thigh weakness, one first considers a spinal cord disease.
A 60-year-old man seeks evaluation at a medical office due to leg pain while walking. He says the pain starts in his buttocks and extends to his thighs and down to his calves. Previously, the pain resolved with rest, but the pain now persists in his feet, even during rest. His past medical history is significant for diabetes mellitus, hypertension, and cigarette smoking. The vital signs are within normal limits. The physical examination shows an atrophied leg with bilateral loss of hair. Which of the following is the most likely cause of this patient’s condition?
Decreased permeability of endothelium
Narrowing and calcification of vessels
Peripheral emboli formation
This patient presented with acute chest pain. Which one of the following would also be elevated in the blood of this patient? Which of the OTC medications might have contrib-uted to the patient’s current symptoms? Abnormal heart valve (e.g., viridans group streptococci), intravenous drug use
A 52-year-old man presents to the emergency department with chest pain radiating to his left jaw and arm. He states that he had experienced similar symptoms when playing basketball. The medical history is significant for diabetes mellitus, hypertension, and GERD, for which he takes metformin, hydrochlorothiazide, and pantoprazole, respectively. The blood pressure is 150/90 mm Hg, the pulse is 100/min, and the respirations are 15/min. The ECG reveals ST elevation in leads V3-V6. He is hospitalized for an acute MI and started on treatment. The next day he complains of dizziness and blurred vision. Repeat vital signs were as follows: blood pressure 90/60 mm Hg, pulse 72/min, and respirations 12/min. The laboratory results were as follows: Serum chemistry Sodium 143 mEq/L Potassium 4.1 mEq/L Chloride 98 mEq/L Bicarbonate 22 mEq/L Blood urea nitrogen 26 mg/dL Creatinine 2.3 mg/dL Glucose 120 mg/dL Which of the following drugs is responsible for this patient’s lab abnormalities?
What precautions could have been taken to avoid this hospitalization? Symptomatic treatment may require temperature control with cooling blankets and seizure control with diazepam. In mild cases, rewarm the patient with blankets or warm water. If fever is present, cooling by physical measures should be tried.
A 28-year-old woman is brought to the hospital by her boyfriend. She has had three days of fever and headache followed by one day of worsening confusion and hallucinations. She also becomes agitated when offered water. Her temperature is 101°F (38.3°C). Two months prior to presentation, the couple was camping and encountered bats in their cabin. In addition to an injection shortly after exposure, what would have been the most effective treatment for this patient?
A killed vaccine within ten days of exposure
Oseltamivir within one week of exposure
Venom antiserum within hours of exposure
Doxycycline for one month after exposure
His heart fail-ure must be treated first, followed by careful control of the hypertension.

Even a screening test with 98% specificity and 50% sensitivity would have a positive predictive value of only about 1%. The Accuracy of Screening A screening test’s accuracy or ability to discriminate disease is described by four indices: sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value, and negative predictive value (Table 100-2). Although the diagnostic accuracy of this imaging method is high (sensitivity, 90–94%; specificity, 95–97%; negative predictive value, 93–99%), its prognostic utility has not been defined. The sensitivity and specificity for the diagnosis are about 95% each.
A new screening test utilizing a telemedicine approach to diagnosing diabetic retinopathy has been implemented in a diabetes clinic. An ophthalmologist’s exam was also performed on all patients as the gold standard for diagnosis. In a pilot study of 500 patients, the screening test detected the presence of diabetic retinopathy in 250 patients. Ophthalmologist exam confirmed a diagnosis of diabetic retinopathy in 200 patients who tested positive in the screening test, as well as 10 patients who tested negative in the screening test. What is the sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value, and negative predictive value of the screening test?

In normal individuals, the amplitude of the evoked muscle action potentials does not change at these rates of stimulation. FIGURE 27–6 Muscle contraction responses to different patterns of nerve stimulation used in monitoring skeletal muscle relaxation. Length-tension analysis of cardiac muscle, for example, shows a dramatic increase in passive tension as cardiac muscle is stretched beyond its resting length. Exercising the muscle for 10 s before stimulation will cause a posttetanic facilitation in patients with the Lambert-Eaton syndrome (200-fold increases are not uncommon).
A healthy 22-year-old male participates in a research study you are leading to compare the properties of skeletal and cardiac muscle. You conduct a 3-phased experiment with the participant. In the first phase, you get him to lift up a 2.3 kg (5 lb) weight off a table with his left hand. In the second phase, you get him to do 20 burpees, taking his heart rate to 150/min. In the third phase, you electrically stimulate his gastrocnemius with a frequency of 50 Hz. You are interested in the tension and electrical activity of specific muscles as follows: Biceps in phase 1, cardiac muscle in phase 2, and gastrocnemius in phase 3. What would you expect to be happening in the phases and the respective muscles of interest?

The patient first notices mild general weakness and paresthesias consisting of tingling, “pins and needles” feelings, or other vaguely described sensations. Patients usually present with numbness and paresthesias in the distal extremities that are often asymmetric. In addition, clinical signs (such as pain, pins-and-needles sensations, paresthesia, and fascicular muscle twitching) resulting from any disorder affecting these spinal nerves (e.g., herniated intervertebral disc in the lumbar region) appear in the lower limb. The patient, after being asleep for a few hours, is awakened by numbness or a tingling, prickling, “pins-and-needles” feeling in the fingers, and hands.
An 18-year-old man comes to the clinic with his mom for “pins and needles” of both of his arms. He denies any past medical history besides a recent anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) tear that was repaired 1 week ago. The patient reports that the paresthesias are mostly located along the posterior forearms, left more than the right. What physical examination finding would you expect from this patient?
Loss of forearm flexion and supination
In an epileptic patient known to be taking seizure medications chronically but in whom the serum level of drug is unknown, it is probably best to administer the full-recommended dose of phenytoin. The patient had been taking phenytoin (his only medication) since the onset of the seizure disorder. Phenytoin is contraindicated in toxicologic seizures: Animal and human data demonstrate worse outcomes after phenytoin loading, especially Errors in dosing by health care providers may require educational efforts.
A 9-year-old girl is resuscitated after the administration of an erroneous dose of intravenous phenytoin for recurrent seizures. This incident is reported to the authorities. A thorough investigation reveals various causative factors leading to the event. One important finding is a verbal misunderstanding of the dose of phenytoin between the ordering senior resident and the receiving first-year resident during the handover of the patient. To minimize the risk of this particular error in the future, the most appropriate management is to implement which of the following?
Closed-loop communication
Patients should avoid intense athletic competition and training. Unless foul play is suspected, the health care team need not contact the medical examiner either. Approach to the Patient with Possible Cardiovascular Disease Obviously those found to have serious heart disease should give up competitive sports, but the majority has no demonstrable cardiac abnormality.
You are the team physician for an NBA basketball team. On the morning of an important playoff game, an EKG of a star player, Mr. P, shows findings suspicious for hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM). Mr. P is an otherwise healthy, fit, professional athlete. The playoff game that night is the most important of Mr. P's career. When you inform the coach that you are thinking of restricting Mr. P's participation, he threatens to fire you. Later that day you receive a phone call from the owner of the team threatening a lawsuit should you restrict Mr. P's ability to play. Mr. P states that he will be playing in the game "if it's the last thing I do." Which of the following is the most appropriate next step?
Consult with a psychiatrist to have Mr. P committed
Call the police and have Mr. P arrested
Allow Mr. P to play against medical advice

The newborn (particularly a preterm infant) responds paradoxically to hypoxia with apnea rather than tachypnea as occurs in adults. Transient tachypnea of the newborn may be caused by retained lung fluid or slow resorption of lung fluid. Speciically, the rates of transient tachypnea of the newborn were 6.7 and 9.9 percent in those given betamethasone and placebo, respectively. Transient tachypnea of the newborn usually is noted in larger premature infants and in term infants born by precipitous delivery or cesarean section without prior labor.
Several hours after vaginal delivery, a male newborn delivered at full-term develops tachycardia and tachypnea. His blood pressure is within normal limits. Pulse oximetry on room air shows an oxygen saturation of 79% in the right hand and 61% in the left foot.

Mutations of the red and green pigments cause congenital X-linked color blindness in 8% of males. Each son born to a female carrier of an X-linked recessive trait has a 50% chance of inheriting the trait, but none of this woman’s daughters would be affected (each daughter has a 50% chance of being a carrier). When a woman carries a gene causing an X-linked recessive condition, each of her sons has a 50-percent risk of being afected, and each daughter has a 50-percent chance of being a carrier. In this situation, there is a 25% chance that the offspring will have a normal genotype, a 50% probability of a heterozygous state, and a 25% risk of homozygosity for the recessive alleles (Figs.
Red-green color blindness, an X-linked recessive disorder, has an incidence of 1/200 in males in a certain population. What is the probability of a phenotypically normal male and female having a child with red-green color blindness?

A 45-year-old man is transferred to the intensive care unit from the emergency department for acute respiratory failure. He was rushed to the hospital after developing progressive respiratory distress over the last 24 hours. His medical history is significant for long-standing severe persistent asthma, hypertension, and several bouts of community and hospital-acquired pneumonia. His medications include amlodipine, lisinopril, inhaled fluticasone, salmeterol, and oral prednisone. He is a lifelong non-smoker and drinks alcohol occasionally on the weekends. He works as a sales executive and went to Hawaii a month ago. In the emergency department, he was started on broad-spectrum antibiotics and bronchodilators. His respiratory failure progressively worsens, and on day 2 of admission, he requires mechanical ventilator support. Chest X-ray shows multiple nodules bilaterally in the lower lobes. Flexible bronchoscopy is performed and the bronchoalveolar lavage sample from the medial segment of the right lower lobe shows neutrophils, and the fungal preparation shows Aspergillus fumigatus. A video-assisted thoracoscopy is performed and biopsy from the right lower lobe is taken which shows plugging of the terminal bronchioles with mucus, inflammatory cells, and fungal vascular invasion. Which of the following is the most likely mechanism responsible for the biopsy findings?
Defects in the immune response
Aspergillus fumigatus suppresses the production of IgA
Aspergillus fumigatus suppresses the production of IgM
Suppression of the innate immune system by Aspergillus fumigatus
For patients with chronic epigastric pain, the possibilities of inflammatory bowel disease, anatomic abnormalitysuch as malrotation, pancreatitis, and biliary disease should beruled out by appropriate testing when suspected (see Chapter126 and Table 128-3 for recommended studies). Values greater than three times the upper limit of normal in combination with epigastric pain strongly suggest the diagnosis if gut perforation or infarction is excluded. No evidence of an inflammatory, anatomic, metabolic, or neoplastic process considered that explains the subject’s symptoms. No evidence of an inflammatory, anatomic, metabolic, or neoplastic process that explains the subject’s symptoms.
A 70-year-old man comes to the physician because of a 4-month history of epigastric pain, nausea, and weakness. He has smoked one pack of cigarettes daily for 50 years and drinks one alcoholic beverage daily. He appears emaciated. He is 175 cm (5 ft 9 in) tall and weighs 47 kg (103 lb); BMI is 15 kg/m2. He is diagnosed with gastric cancer. Which of the following cytokines is the most likely direct cause of this patient’s examination findings?
The patient had been very healthy until 2 months previously when he developed intermittent leg weakness. Hypertension or the presence of edema suggests lupus renal disease. Over the following weeks, the patient began to develop muscular weakness, predominantly footdrop. The foot should also be carefully examined for pallor on elevation and rubor on dependency, as these findings are indicative of chronic ischemia.
A 40-year-old woman comes to the physician because of a 1-week history of fatigue, dark urine, and a feeling of heaviness in her legs. Two weeks ago, she returned from a vacation to Brazil, where she spent most of her days exploring the city of Rio de Janeiro on foot. She also gained 3 kg (7 lb) during her vacation. She has systemic lupus erythematosus. Her only medication is hydroxychloroquine. Her temperature is 37.5°C (99.5°F), pulse is 78/min, and blood pressure is 162/98 mm Hg.

A 57-year-old post-menopausal woman comes to the physician because of intermittent, bloody post-coital vaginal discharge for the past month. She does not have pain with intercourse. Eleven years ago, she had LSIL on a routine Pap smear and testing for high-risk HPV strains was positive. Colposcopy showed CIN 1. She has not returned for follow-up Pap smears since then. She is sexually active with her husband only, and they do not use condoms. She has smoked half a pack of cigarettes per day for the past 25 years and does not drink alcohol. On speculum exam, a 1.4 cm, erythematous exophytic mass with ulceration is noted on the posterior wall of the upper third of the vagina. Which of the following is the most probable histopathology of this mass?
The patient’s urine was reddish orange. Urine is dark with hemoglobinuria, and there is ↑ excretion of urinary and fecal urobilinogen. When no specific diagnosis is forthcoming, the following investigations, where applicable, are suggested: complete blood count, liver function tests, thick/thin blood films or rapid diagnostic testing for malaria (repeated several times if necessary), urinalysis, urine and blood cultures (repeated once), chest x-ray, and collection of an acute-phase serum sample to be held for subsequent examination along with a paired convalescent-phase serum sample. After the clearance of the parasites, this intraphagocytic malarial pigment is often evident for several days in the peripheral blood films or for longer in bone marrow aspirates or smears of fluid expressed after intradermal puncture.
Three days after starting a new drug for malaria prophylaxis, a 19-year-old college student comes to the physician because of dark-colored urine and fatigue. He has not had any fever, dysuria, or abdominal pain. He has no history of serious illness. Physical examination shows scleral icterus. Laboratory studies show a hemoglobin of 9.7 g/dL and serum lactate dehydrogenase of 234 U/L. Peripheral blood smear shows poikilocytes with bite-shaped irregularities. Which of the following drugs has the patient most likely been taking?
This test was internally validated and found to have a PPV of 92% and an NPV of 96%. PPV and NPV vary depending on disease prevalence in population being tested. The lower the disease prevalence, the higher the NPV of the test for that disease. The negative predictive value (NPV) is the probability that a patient with a test result truly does not have the disease.

Crit Care Clin 31(1)67,t2015 Maghsoudi H, Samnia R, Garadaghi A, et aI: Burns in pregnancy. Burning with urination from noninfectious causes may be difficult to distinguish from a urinary tract infection, although some women can distinguish pain when the urine hits the vulvar area (an external dysuria) from burning pain (often suprapubic in location) during urination. Management of acute urinary reten-tion.
A 23-year-old pregnant woman at 22 weeks gestation presents with burning upon urination. She states it started 1 day ago and has been worsening despite drinking more water and taking cranberry extract. She otherwise feels well and is followed by a doctor for her pregnancy. Her temperature is 97.7°F (36.5°C), blood pressure is 122/77 mmHg, pulse is 80/min, respirations are 19/min, and oxygen saturation is 98% on room air. Physical exam is notable for an absence of costovertebral angle tenderness and a gravid uterus. Which of the following is the best treatment for this patient?
Death of a healthy infant (1 month to 1 year old) without obvious cause Once the child became comatose, death was almost inevitable. lthough this is less clear, some recommend that fetal death not attributable to other causes (Dizon-Townson, 1998; Lockshin, 1995). The most common cause of death for infants 1 month to 1 year of age is motor vehicle crashes.
A 3-month-old baby died suddenly at night while asleep. His mother noticed that he had died only after she awoke in the morning. No cause of death was determined based on the autopsy. Which of the following precautions could have prevented the death of the baby?
Placing the infant in a supine position on a firm mattress while sleeping
Keeping the infant covered and maintaining a high room temperature
Application of a device to maintain the sleeping position
Avoiding pacifier use during sleep
In neonates, difficulty in feeding is the usual presentation. The infant is fretful, feeds poorly, and may vomit frequently. Infants often present with constipation and poor feeding. With the most-severe neonatal type, the infant appears normal at birth, but toward the end of the first week, poor feeding, intermittent hypertonicity, opisthotonos, and respiratory irregularities appear.
A mother brings her 3-week-old infant to the pediatrician's office because she is concerned about his feeding habits. He was born without complications and has not had any medical problems up until this time. However, for the past 4 days, he has been fussy, is regurgitating all of his feeds, and his vomit is yellow in color. On physical exam, the child's abdomen is minimally distended but no other abnormalities are appreciated. Which of the following embryologic errors could account for this presentation?
Abnormal migration of ventral pancreatic bud
Complete failure of proximal duodenum to recanalize
Abnormal hypertrophy of the pylorus
Failure of lateral body folds to move ventrally and fuse in the midline
Which one of the following etiologies most likely explains this patient’s pulmonary symptoms? Suspect pulmonary embolism in a patient with rapid onset of hypoxia, hypercapnia, tachycardia, and an ↑ alveolar-arterial oxygen gradient without another obvious explanation. Tachypnea and hypoxemia point toward a pulmonary cause. Pulmonary dysfunction often results in hypoxemia.
A pulmonary autopsy specimen from a 58-year-old woman who died of acute hypoxic respiratory failure was examined. She had recently undergone surgery for a fractured femur 3 months ago. Initial hospital course was uncomplicated, and she was discharged to a rehab facility in good health. Shortly after discharge home from rehab, she developed sudden shortness of breath and had cardiac arrest. Resuscitation was unsuccessful. On histological examination of lung tissue, fibrous connective tissue around the lumen of the pulmonary artery is observed. Which of the following is the most likely pathogenesis for the present findings?
Pulmonary passive congestion
Age and the prevalence of bleeding disorders in women with menorrhagia. Predictors of menorrhagia include bleeding resulting in iron-deficiency anemia or a need for blood transfusion, passage of clots >1 inch in diameter, and changing a pad or tampon more than hourly. Therefore, other possible etiologies, including coagulopathies such as von Willebrand’s disease, should be considered in a woman with heavy menstrual bleeding (46). A history of easy bruising, petechiae, bleeding from mucous membranes, or prolonged bleeding from minor wounds may signify an underlying abnormality of platelet function.
A 20-year-old woman presents with menorrhagia for the past several years. She says that her menses “have always been heavy”, and she has experienced easy bruising for as long as she can remember. Family history is significant for her mother, who had similar problems with bruising easily. The patient's vital signs include: heart rate 98/min, respiratory rate 14/min, temperature 36.1°C (96.9°F), and blood pressure 110/87 mm Hg. Physical examination is unremarkable. Laboratory tests show the following: platelet count 200,000/mm3, PT 12 seconds, and PTT 43 seconds. Which of the following is the most likely cause of this patient’s symptoms?
History Moderate to severe acute abdominal pain; copious emesis. Severe abdominal pain, fever. The patient had noted 2 days of abdominal pain and fever, and his clinical evaluation and CT scan were consistent with appendicitis. Any severe acute pain in the abdomen or back should suggest the possibility of acute pancreatitis.
A 40-year-old zookeeper presents to the emergency department complaining of severe abdominal pain that radiates to her back, and nausea. The pain started 2 days ago and slowly increased until she could not tolerate it any longer. Past medical history is significant for hypertension and hypothyroidism. Additionally, she reports that she was recently stung by one of the zoo’s smaller scorpions, but did not seek medical treatment. She takes aspirin, levothyroxine, oral contraceptive pills, and a multivitamin daily. Family history is noncontributory. Today, her blood pressure is 108/58 mm Hg, heart rate is 99/min, respiratory rate is 21/min, and temperature is 37.0°C (98.6°F). On physical exam, she is a well-developed, obese female that looks unwell. Her heart has a regular rate and rhythm. Radial pulses are weak but symmetric. Her lungs are clear to auscultation bilaterally. Her lateral left ankle is swollen, erythematous, and painful to palpate. An abdominal CT is consistent with acute pancreatitis. Which of the following is the most likely etiology for this patient’s disease?

A 3900-g (8.6-lb) male infant is delivered at 39 weeks' gestation via spontaneous vaginal delivery. Pregnancy and delivery were uncomplicated but a prenatal ultrasound at 20 weeks showed a defect in the pleuroperitoneal membrane. Further evaluation of this patient is most likely to show which of the following findings?
Gastric fundus in the thorax
Pancreatic ring around the duodenum
Hypertrophy of the gastric pylorus
Large bowel in the inguinal canal
Maintain rate and BP control via β-blockers, ACEIs, ARBs, or CCBs. If stable or chronic, rate control with calcium channel blockers or β-blockers. If precipitated by tachycardia, heart rate control with �-blocking agents is preferred. Treatment: anticoagulation, rate and rhythm control and/or cardioversion.
A 62-year-old woman presents for a regular check-up. She complains of lightheadedness and palpitations which occur episodically. Past medical history is significant for a myocardial infarction 6 months ago and NYHA class II chronic heart failure. She also was diagnosed with grade I arterial hypertension 4 years ago. Current medications are aspirin 81 mg, atorvastatin 10 mg, enalapril 10 mg, and metoprolol 200 mg daily. Her vital signs are a blood pressure of 135/90 mm Hg, a heart rate of 125/min, a respiratory rate of 14/min, and a temperature of 36.5°C (97.7°F). Cardiopulmonary examination is significant for irregular heart rhythm and decreased S1 intensity. ECG is obtained and is shown in the picture (see image). Echocardiography shows a left ventricular ejection fraction of 39%. Which of the following drugs is the best choice for rate control in this patient?
Chronic sinusitis (4–12 weeks): Adjuvant therapy with intranasal corticosteroids, decongestants, and antihistamines may be useful in combating the allergic/infammatory component of the disease. Patients with perennial rhinitis commonly develop the problem in adult life, and manifest nasal congestion and a postnasal discharge, often associated with thickening of the sinus membranes demonstrated by radiography. Topical decongestants should be used for no longer than 3 days because prolonged use may lead to rebound vasodilation and worsening of symptoms. Patients experience constant nasal congestion and sinus pressure, with intermittent periods of greater severity, which may persist for years.
A 35-year-old male presents to his primary care physician with complaints of seasonal allergies. He has been using intranasal vasoconstrictors several times per day for several weeks. What is a likely sequela of the chronic use of topical nasal decongestants?
Persistent nasal crusting
Patients usually do not complain of diplopia, in contrast to patients having conditions with a more acute onset of ocular muscle weakness (e.g., myasthenia gravis). There is intermittent diplopia owing to paroxysmal contraction of one or more ocular muscles, usually after their activation. These ocular problems are potentially sight-threatening and warrant ophthalmologic evaluation. A history of prior trauma, eye surgery, contact lens use, diplopia, systemic symptoms (e.g., dysphagia or peripheral muscle weakness), or a family history of ptosis should be sought.
A 46-year-old woman comes to the physician because of a 2-week history of diplopia and ocular pain when reading the newspaper. She also has a 3-month history of amenorrhea, hot flashes, and increased sweating.

A female neonate appeared healthy until age ~24 hours, when she became lethargic. She appeared normal at birth. The child’s overall appearance, evidence of growth failure, orfailure to thrive may point to a significant underlying inflammatory disorder. Poor feeding and failure to gain weight, instability of temperature (mainly hypothermia), and seizures become apparent in early infancy.
A 9-month-old female is brought to the emergency department after experiencing a seizure. She was born at home and was normal at birth according to her parents. Since then, they have noticed that she does not appear to be achieving developmental milestones as quickly as her siblings, and often appears lethargic. Physical exam reveals microcephaly, very light pigmentation (as compared to her family), and a "musty" body odor. The varied manifestations of this disease can most likely be attributed to which of the following genetic principles?
By MRI one can, in advanced cases, appreciate atrophy of the dorsal mesencephalon (superior colliculi, red nuclei) giving rise to a “mouse ears” configuration (Fig. Imaging studies demonstrate the cerebellocerebral abnormality. Pathology of the Ear. Gen erally, other sonographic abnormalities are evident.

Patients developing neurologic symptoms in the lower extremities, severe localized back pain, or problems with bowel and bladder control may need emergency MRI and local radiation therapy and glucocorticoids if cord compression is identified. Any patient with cancer who has severe back pain should undergo an MRI. New back pain in patients with cancer should be explored aggressively on an emergent basis; to wait for neurologic symptoms is a potentially catastrophic error. The patient may occasionally complain of back pain only.
A 69-year-old male presents to the emergency room with back pain. He has a history of personality disorder and metastatic prostate cancer and was not a candidate for surgical resection. He began chemotherapy but discontinued due to unremitting nausea. He denies any bowel or bladder incontinence. He has never had pain like this before and is demanding morphine.

An investigator is studying the function of the lateral nucleus of the hypothalamus in an experimental animal. Using a viral vector, the genes encoding chloride-conducting channelrhodopsins are injected into this nucleus. Photostimulation of the channels causes complete inhibition of action potential generation. Persistent photostimulation is most likely to result in which of the following abnormalities in these animals?
A 55-year-old man presents with increasing fatigue, 15-pound weight loss, and a microcytic anemia. Fever of unknown origin, weight loss, Lymphoreticular malignancy Hodgkin disease, non-Hodgkin lymphoma night sweats Most patients present with fatigue and lymphadenopathy and are found to have generalized disease involving the bone marrow, spleen, liver, and (often) the gastrointestinal tract. What caused the hyperkalemia and metabolic acidosis in this patient?

Loss of function of the APC gene
Altered expression of the retinoic acid receptor gene
Unregulated expression of the ABL1 gene
Does this patient have acute cholecystitis? She is in no acute distress, and there are no other significant physical findings; an electrocardiogram is normal except for slight left ventricular hypertrophy. In this setting, it is reasonable to proceed to right heart catheterization for definitive diagnosis. The patient is toxic and has high fever, tachycardia, and marked hypovo-lemia, which if uncorrected, progresses to cardiovascular col-lapse.
A 42-year-old woman is in the hospital recovering from a cholecystectomy performed 3 days ago that was complicated by cholangitis. She is being treated with IV piperacillin-tazobactam. She calls the nurse to her room because she says that her heart is racing. She also demands that someone come in to clean the pile of garbage off of the floor because it is attracting flies. Her pulse is 112/min, respiratory rate is 20/min, temperature is 38.0°C (100.4°F), and blood pressure is 150/90 mm Hg. On physical examination, the patient appears sweaty, distressed, and unable to remain still. She is oriented to person, but not place or time. Palpation of the abdomen shows no tenderness, rebound, or guarding. Which of the following is the most likely diagnosis in this patient?
E. Treatment involves corticosteroids, UV light with psoralen, or immune-modulating therapy. Treatment options for early, rapidly progressive disease include phototherapy (UVA1 or PUVA) or methotrexate (15–20 mg/week) alone or in combination with daily glucocorticoids. The immediate treatment almost invariably includes transfusion of red cells. Mild disease is treated topically with ointments containing corticosteroids or other immunomodulatory agents, whereas more severe disease is treated with phototherapy (which has immunosuppressive effects) or systemic therapy with immunosuppressive agents such as methotrexate or TNF antagonists.
A 48-year-old woman comes to the emergency department because of a photosensitive blistering rash on her hands, forearms, and face for 3 weeks. The lesions are not itchy. She has also noticed that her urine has been dark brown in color recently. Twenty years ago, she was successfully treated for Coats disease of the retina via retinal sclerotherapy. She is currently on hormonal replacement therapy for perimenopausal symptoms. Her aunt and sister have a history of a similar skin lesions. Examination shows multiple fluid-filled blisters and oozing erosions on the forearms, dorsal side of both hands, and forehead. There is hyperpigmented scarring and patches of bald skin along the sides of the blisters. Laboratory studies show a normal serum ferritin concentration. Which of the following is the most appropriate next step in management to induce remission in this patient?
Pursue liver transplantation
Begin oral thalidomide therapy
Begin oral hydroxychloroquine therapy
Presents with painless hematuria, flank pain, abdominal mass. Colicky flank pain radiating to the groin suggests acute ureteric obstruction. Characterized by abdominal (flank) pain and gross hematuria (from rupture of thin-walled renal varicosities). B. Presents with gross hematuria and flank pain
A 53-year-old man comes to the emergency department because of severe right-sided flank pain for 3 hours. The pain is colicky, radiates towards his right groin, and he describes it as 8/10 in intensity. He has vomited once. He has no history of similar episodes in the past. Last year, he was treated with naproxen for swelling and pain of his right toe. He has a history of hypertension. He drinks one to two beers on the weekends. Current medications include amlodipine. He appears uncomfortable. His temperature is 37.1°C (99.3°F), pulse is 101/min, and blood pressure is 130/90 mm Hg. Examination shows a soft, nontender abdomen and right costovertebral angle tenderness. An upright x-ray of the abdomen shows no abnormalities. A CT scan of the abdomen and pelvis shows a 7-mm stone in the proximal ureter and grade I hydronephrosis on the right. Which of the following is most likely to be seen on urinalysis?
Largely positive urinary protein
Affected individuals typically present with breast development (usually only to Tanner stage 3) out of proportion with the amount of pubic and axillary hair present (Fig. At that point, the finding of the progressive developmentof pubic and axillary hair in the presence of testes that remaininfantile in volume should alert the clinician to the disorder. After ruling out androgen-secreting tumors and congenital adrenal hyperplasia, treatment may be aimed at decreasing coarse hair growth. Scores above 8 suggest excess androgen-mediated hair growth, a finding that should be assessed further by means of hormonal evaluation (see below).
A 5-year-old girl is brought to the clinic by her mother for excessive hair growth. Her mother reports that for the past 2 months she has noticed hair at the axillary and pubic areas. She denies any family history of precocious puberty and reports that her daughter has been relatively healthy with an uncomplicated birth history. She denies any recent illnesses, weight change, fever, vaginal bleeding, pain, or medication use. Physical examination demonstrates Tanner stage 4 development. A pelvic ultrasound shows an ovarian mass. Laboratory studies demonstrates an elevated level of estrogen. What is the most likely diagnosis?
Idiopathic precocious puberty
A child who is repeatedly kept home from school becauseof pain receives reinforcement in the form of being excusedfrom responsibilities and withdraws from full social functioning. B. Clinically significant problematic behavioral changes (e.g., belligerence, assaultive- ness, impulsiveness. In severely worried children, defensive aggression may be used to prevent attendance. A 19-year-old college sophomore began to show paranoid traits.
A 16-year-old boy is brought to the physician by his mother because she is worried about his behavior. Yesterday, he was expelled from school for repeatedly skipping classes. Over the past 2 months, he was suspended 3 times for bullying and aggressive behavior towards his peers and teachers. Once, his neighbor found him smoking cigarettes in his backyard. In the past, he consistently maintained an A grade average and had been a regular attendee of youth group events at their local church. The mother first noticed this change in behavior 3 months ago, around the time at which his father moved out after discovering his wife was having an affair. Which of the following defense mechanisms best describes the change in this patient's behavior?
Inquiry should be made into the nature of the double vision (purely side-by-side versus partial vertical displacement of images), mode of onset, duration, intermittency, diurnal variation, and associated neurologic or systemic symptoms. A 33-year-old fit and well woman came to the emergency department complaining of double vision and pain behind her right eye. Subsequent eye examinations depend on severity of retinopathy and level of diabetes control. Because many individuals with type 2 DM have had asymptomatic diabetes for several years before diagnosis, the American Diabetes Association (ADA) recommends the following ophthalmologic examination schedule: (1) individuals with type 1 DM should have an initial eye examination within 5 years of diagnosis, (2) individuals with type 2 DM should have an initial eye examination at the time of diabetes diagnosis, (3) women with DM who are pregnant or contemplating pregnancy should have an eye examination prior to conception and during the first trimester, and (4) if eye exam is normal, repeat examination in 2–3 years is appropriate.
A 63-year-old woman presents to her primary-care doctor for a 2-month history of vision changes, specifically citing the gradual onset of double vision. Her double vision is present all the time and does not get better or worse throughout the day. She has also noticed that she has a hard time keeping her right eye open, and her right eyelid looks 'droopy' in the mirror. Physical exam findings during primary gaze are shown in the photo. Her right pupil is 6 mm and poorly reactive to light. The rest of her neurologic exam is unremarkable. Laboratory studies show an Hb A1c of 5.0%. Which of the following is the next best test for this patient?
MR angiography of the head
Many polypeptides are covalently modified, either while they are still attached to the ribosome (cotranslational) or after their synthesis has been completed (posttranslational). Many polypeptide chains are covalently modified during or after translation. Elongation of the polypeptide involves the addition of amino acids to the carboxyl end of the growing chain. As polypeptide chains are synthesized by the membrane-bound polysomes, the protein is injected into the lumen of the rER cisterna, where it is further modified post-translationally by enzymes.
An investigator is studying the modification of newly formed polypeptides in plated eukaryotic cells. After the polypeptides are released from the ribosome, a chemically-tagged protein attaches covalently to lysine residues on the polypeptide chain, forming a modified polypeptide. When a barrel-shaped complex is added to the cytoplasm, the modified polypeptide lyses, resulting in individual amino acids and the chemically-tagged proteins. Which of the following post-translational modifications has most likely occurred?
The pathology of the optic nerve in amblyopia in the alcoholic has been described by Victor and colleagues (1960). Adams et al observed a rapidly evolving quadriplegia and pseudobulbar palsy in a young alcoholic man who had entered the hospital 10 days earlier with symptoms of alcohol withdrawal. chronic alcohol consumption; presents with confabulation, personality changes, memory loss (permanent). The most common pathologic change in most reports has been characteristic of Alzheimer disease.
A 38-year-old man presents to his physician with double vision persisting for a week. When he enters the exam room, the physician notes that the patient has a broad-based gait. The man’s wife informs the doctor that he has been an alcoholic for the last 5 years and his consumption of alcohol has increased significantly over the past few months. She also reports that he has become indifferent to his family members over time and is frequently agitated. She also says that his memory has been affected significantly, and when asked about a particular detail, he often recollects it incorrectly, though he insists that his version is the true one. On physical examination, his vital signs are stable, but when the doctor asks him where he is, he seems to be confused. His neurological examination also shows nystagmus. Which of the following options describes the earliest change in the pathophysiology of the central nervous system in this man?
Decreased α-ketoglutarate dehydrogenase activity in astrocytes
Increased extracellular concentration of glutamate
Increased astrocyte lactate
Breakdown of the blood-brain barrier
Antiplatelet agents, such as aspirin, should be given to patients with transient ischemic attacks, and if these are not effective, warfarin should be considered. One currently favored approach, based in part on the WARSS trial, is to simply administer aspirin in all cases of acute stroke. Currently, most stroke neu-rologists prescribe both aspirin and clopidogrel for secondary 1Brunicardi_Ch23_p0897-p0980.indd 91027/02/19 4:14 PM 911ARTERIAL DISEASECHAPTER 23stroke prevention in patients who have experienced a TIA or stroke.19 In patients with symptomatic carotid stenosis, the degree of stenosis appears to be the most important predic-tor in determining risk for an ipsilateral stroke. Johnston SC, Easton JD, Farrant M, et al: Clopidogrel and aspirin in acute ischemic stroke and high-risk TIA.
A 69-year-old man is brought by his son to the emergency department with weakness in his right arm and leg. The man insists that he is fine and blames his son for "creating panic". Four hours ago the patient was having tea with his wife when he suddenly dropped his teacup. He has had difficulty moving his right arm since then and cannot walk because his right leg feels stuck. He has a history of hypertension and dyslipidemia, for which he currently takes lisinopril and atorvastatin, respectively. He is allergic to aspirin and peanuts.

A 70-year-old man presents to a medical clinic reporting blood in his urine and lower abdominal pain for the past few days. He is also concerned about urinary frequency and urgency. He states that he recently completed a cycle of chemotherapy for non-Hodgkin lymphoma. Which medication in the chemotherapy regimen most likely caused his symptoms?
Treatment of bites includes local washing and elevation of the bitten area, tetanus prophylaxis, and analgesic administration. Care of the bite wound includes simple cleansing with soap and water; application of a dry, sterile dressing; and splinting of the affected extremity with padding between the digits. Each year, 800,000 Americans seek medical attention for dog bites; of those injured, 386,000 require treatment in an emergency department, with >1000 emergency department visits each day and about a dozen deaths per year. Antibiotics may also be considered if misguided first aid efforts have included incision or mouth suction of the bite site.

Switch risperidone to clozapine
A 33-year-old fit and well woman came to the emergency department complaining of double vision and pain behind her right eye. Initially, weakness begins with extraocular muscles, drooping eyelids, double vision, and generalized muscular weakness. Blurring of vision, diplopia, and ptosis may attend the drowsiness and may bring the patient first to an ophthalmologist. A 56-year-old woman is brought to the university eye center with a complaint of “loss of vision.” Because of visual impair-ment, she has lost her driver’s license and has fallen several times in her home.
A 35-year-old woman comes to the physician because of a 1-month history of double vision, difficulty climbing stairs, and weakness when trying to brush her hair. She reports that these symptoms are worse after she exercises and disappear after she rests for a few hours.

: Eventual AIDS vaccine failure in a rhesus monkey by viral escape from cytotoxic T lymphocytes. One patient with hypogammaglobulinemia who had been infected 12 years earlier and was receiving IV immune globulin suddenly developed quadriplegia and respiratory muscle paralysis and died; analysis showed that the virus had reverted to a more wild-type sequence. This child has acute falciparum malaria, and her lethargy and abnormal laboratory tests are consistent with progres-sion to severe disease. Excessive physical activity and local injections during the period of asymptomatic infection were thought to favor the development of paralysis of the exercised or injected limbs.
A 12-year-old boy who recently emigrated from Pakistan presents with fever, muscle pain, and weakness of the trunk, abdomen, and legs. The patient’s mother says that he has not been vaccinated. Physical examination reveals fasciculation and flaccid paralysis of the lower limbs. A CSF analysis reveals lymphocytosis with normal glucose and protein levels. A throat swab reveals an RNA virus.

Additionally, the sigmoidal relationship between the velocity of the reaction and substrate concentration (see p. 98) maximizes the enzyme’s responsiveness to changes in blood glucose level. The other kinetic parameter frequently used to characterize an enzyme is its Km, the concentration of substrate that allows the reaction to proceed at one-half its maximum rate (0.5 Vmax) (see Figure 3–46). The rate of an enzyme-catalyzed reaction increases with substrate concentration until a maximal velocity (Vmax) is reached (Fig. kinetics enzyme for its substrate.
A researcher is studying the properties of an enzyme that adds phosphate groups to glucose. She discovers that the enzyme is present in most body tissues and is located in the cytoplasm of the cells expressing the enzyme. She decides to mix this enzyme under subphysiologic conditions with varying levels of glucose in order to determine the kinetic properties of the enzyme. Specifically, she adds increasing levels of glucose at a saturating concentration of phosphate and sees that the rate at which glucose becomes phosphorylated gets faster at higher levels of glucose. She observes that this rate approaches a maximum speed and calls this speed Y. She then determines the concentration of glucose that is needed to make the enzyme function at half the speed Y and calls this concentration X. Which of the following is most likely true about the properties of this enzyme?
The parasympathetic innervation from spinal cord levels S2 to S4 controls genital erection in both women and men (Fig. These mechanisms also regulate the early development of the female reproductive system. A) selectively inhibits prostaglandin F2alpha (PGF2alpha) production in term decidua: implications for the onset of labor. A complex interplay between PGF2α and oxytocin is critical to the onset of labor.
A 31-year-old G2P2 female at 40 weeks gestation presents to the hospital following a rush of water that came from her vagina. She is 4 cm dilated and 80% effaced. Fetal heart tracing shows a pulse of 155/min with variable decelerations. About 12 hours after presentation, she gives birth to a 6 lb 15 oz baby boy with APGAR scores of 8 and 9 at 1 and 5 minutes, respectively. Which of the following structures is responsible for inhibition of female internal genitalia?
Which one of the following etiologies most likely explains this patient’s pulmonary symptoms? The hemoptysis (coughing up blood in the sputum) and the rest of the history suggest the patient has a lung infection. Fever, pharyngeal erythema, tonsillar exudate, lack of cough. Associated symptoms of fever and chills should raise the suspicion of infective etiologies, both pulmonary and systemic.
A 43-year-old woman presents to the emergency department complaining of palpitations, dry cough, and shortness of breath for 1 week. She immigrated to the United States from Korea at the age of 20. She says that her heart is racing and she has never felt these symptoms before. Her cough is dry and is associated with shortness of breath that occurs with minimal exertion. Her past medical history is otherwise unremarkable. She has no allergies and is not currently taking any medications. She is a nonsmoker and an occasional drinker. She denies illicit drug use. Her blood pressure is 100/65 mm Hg, pulse is 76/min, respiratory rate is 23/min, and temperature is 36.8°C (98.2°F). Her physical examination is significant for bibasilar lung crackles and a non-radiating, low-pitched, mid-diastolic rumbling murmur best heard at the apical region. In addition, she has jugular vein distention and bilateral pitting edema in her lower extremities. Which of the following best describes the infectious agent that led to this patient’s condition?
A bacterium that induces partial lysis of red cells with hydrogen peroxide

A bacterium that requires an anaerobic environment to grow properly
Based on data from population-based registries, approximately 1 in 8 liveborn and stillborn neonates with a congenital heart defect has a chromosomal abnormality (Dolk, 2010; Hartman, 201l). The recipient neonate may also have circulatory overload from heart failure and severe hypervolemia and hyperviscosity. Furthermore, echocardiography can facilitate evaluation for the several associated defects that can be present in critical neonatal AS, including mitral stenosis, LV hypoplasia, LV endo-cardial fibroelastosis, subaortic stenosis, VSD, or coarctation. Retinopathy of prematurity, Intraventricular hemorrhage, Bronchopulmonary dysplasia (RIB).
A male neonate is being examined by a pediatrician. His mother informs the doctor that she had a mild fever with rash, muscle pain, and swollen and tender lymph nodes during the second month of gestation. The boy was born at 39 weeks gestation via spontaneous vaginal delivery with no prenatal care. On physical examination, the neonate has normal vital signs. Retinal examination reveals the findings shown in the image. Which of the following congenital heart defects is most likely to be present in this neonate?
Ventricular septal defect
B. Presents with high fever, sore throat, drooling with dysphagia, muffled voice, and inspiratory stridor; risk ofairway obstruction This reflects a poor immune response to the virus in the acute phase of infection due to immaturity of the neonatal immune system, as well as infection by a viral strain that has already evaded an immune system that is genetically close to that of the child. High fever, leukocytosis, and a purulent nasal discharge are suggestive of acute bacterial sinusitis. Exceptional situations include lack of response to empirical therapy, unusually severe presentations, nosocomial pneumonia, and immunocompromised children susceptible to infections with opportunistic pathogens (Table 110-3).
A 4-year-old boy is brought to the emergency department by his parents. He is lethargic and confused and has a severe headache, vomiting, and a high-grade fever since earlier that day. His mother reports that the child was doing well until 2 days ago when he developed a fever and green nasal discharge. The patient has a history of neonatal sepsis, meningococcemia at 18 months of age, and pneumococcal pneumonia at 2 and 3 years of age. His scheduled vaccinations are up to date. His blood pressure is 70/50 mm Hg, heart rate is 120/min, respiratory rate is 22/min, and temperature is 39.3°C (102.4°F). On examination, the child is lethargic and his skin is pale, with several petechiae over his buttocks. There is a purulent nasal discharge from both nostrils. The lungs are clear to auscultation bilaterally. Heart sounds are normal. There is marked neck rigidity. Cerebrospinal fluid analysis shows the following results: Opening pressure 100 mm H2O Appearance cloudy Protein 500 mg/dL (5 g/L) White blood cells 2500/μL (polymorphonuclear predominance) Protein 450 mg/dL (4.5 g/L) Glucose 31 mg/dL (1.7 mmol/L) Culture positive for N. meningitidis Which of the following immunological processes is most likely to be impaired in this child?
Production of IL-2 by Th1 cells
Activation of TCRs by MHC-II

Cleavage of C2 component of complement into C2a and C2b
Approach to the Patient with Disease of the Respiratory System approach to the patient with 305 Disease of the respiratory System Mild pulmonary disease or stable nodules: Treat supportively in the immunocompromised host. Immediate hospitalization and aggressive therapy are warranted for serious pulmonary infections.
A 66-year-old woman with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease is brought to the emergency department because of fever, body aches, malaise, and a dry cough. She has smoked one pack of cigarettes daily for 30 years but quit smoking 1 year ago. She lives with her daughter and her granddaughter, who attends daycare. Her temperature is 38.1°C (101°F). Physical examination shows bilateral conjunctivitis, rhinorrhea, and erythematous tonsils without exudates. Further testing confirms infection with an enveloped orthomyxovirus. Administration of a drug with which of the following mechanisms of action is most appropriate?
Inhibition of nucleoside reverse transcriptase
Inhibition of proton translocation
Inhibition of neuraminidase
Papillary carcinoma of thyroid Unilateral total lobectomy: is it sufficient surgical treatment for patients with AMES low-risk papillary thyroid carcinoma? If the diagnosis is uncertain, the lesions are classified as “suspicious for malignancy.” Lobec-tomy or near-total thyroidectomy is recommended because 60% to 75% turn out to be malignant. Some small papillary thyroid cancers (<1 cm) can be fol-lowed with active surveillance.6 Focused mini-incision parathyroidectomy, after appropri-ate localization, has become the procedure of choice for the treatment of sporadic primary hyperparathyroidism.7 Parathyroidectomy has been shown to improve the clas-sic and the so-called nonspecific symptoms and metabolic complications of primary hyperparathyroidism.8 Normocalcemic hyperparathyroidism is being increasingly recognized; however, there are no definitive guidelines for management.9 Very high calcium and parathyroid hormone levels in a patient with primary hyperparathyroidism should alert the surgeon to the presence of a possible parathyroid carcinoma.10 Subclinical Cushing’s syndrome is characterized by subtle abnormalities in corticosteroid synthesis, and many of its manifestations appear to be treated by adrenalectomy.11 Fine-needle aspiration biopsy has a very limited role in the evaluation of adrenal incidentalomas unless the patient has previously had a cancer and should only be performed after appropriate biochemical studies have been performed to rule out pheochromocytoma.12 Laparoscopic adrenalectomy has become the procedure of choice for excision of most adrenal lesions, except known or suspected cancers.Brunicardi_Ch38_p1625-p1704.indd 162601/03/19 11:20 AM 1627THYROID, PARATHYROID, AND ADRENALCHAPTER 38failed to fuse with the main thyroid, as previously suggested by Crile.
A 38-year-old woman undergoes hemithyroidectomy for treatment of localized, well-differentiated papillary thyroid carcinoma. The lesion is removed with clear margins. However, during the surgery, a structure lying directly adjacent to the superior thyroid artery at the upper pole of the thyroid lobe is damaged. This patient is most likely to experience which of the following symptoms?
Weakness of shoulder shrug
Which one of the following etiologies most likely explains this patient’s pulmonary symptoms? Difficulty in ventilation during resuscitation or high peak inspiratory pressures during mechanical ventilation strongly suggest the diagnosis. A 51-year-old man presents to the emergency department due to acute difficulty breathing. The patient is toxic, with fever, headache, and nuchal rigidity.
A 27-year-old man presents to the emergency room with persistent fever, nausea, and vomiting for the past 3 days. While waiting to be seen, he quickly becomes disoriented and agitated. Upon examination, he has visible signs of difficulty breathing with copious oral secretions and generalized muscle twitching. The patient’s temperature is 104°F (40°C), blood pressure is 90/64 mmHg, pulse is 88/min, and respirations are 18/min with an oxygen saturation of 90% on room air. When the nurse tries to place a nasal cannula, the patient becomes fearful and combative. The patient is sedated and placed on mechanical ventilation. Which of the following is a risk factor for the patient’s most likely diagnosis?
Immediate surgical exploration is mandatory for patients with shock and active ongoing hemorrhage from neck wounds. Stab wounds in a hemodynamically stable patient warrant a CT or FAST scan followed by close inpatient observation. After the initial resuscitative efforts and surgical debridement, the primary concern is the management of the open wound. Stab wounds in a hemodynamically unstable patient or in a patient with peritoneal signs or evisceration require immediate exploratory laparotomy.
A 21-year-old man presents to the emergency department after sustaining a stab wound to the neck at a local farmer's market. The patient is otherwise healthy and is complaining of pain. The patient is able to offer the history himself. His temperature is 97.6°F (36.4°C), blood pressure is 120/84 mmHg, pulse is 90/min, respirations are 15/min, and oxygen saturation is 98% on room air. Physical exam demonstrates a 3 cm laceration 1 cm inferior to the mastoid process on the right side. The patient's breath sounds are clear and he is protecting his airway. No stridor or difficulty breathing is noted. Which of the following is the most appropriate next step in the management of this patient?
Observation and blood pressure monitoring
Enlarged lymph nodes and rare malignancies such as rhabdomyosarcoma can occur either in the midline or laterally.LymphadenopathyThe most common cause of a neck mass in a child is an enlarged lymph node, which typically can be found laterally or in the midline. The typical symptom is a diffuse mass in the neck, which may be managed medically or may need surgical excision if the mass is large enough to affect the patient’s life or cause respiratory problems. Patients typically present with a pul-satile neck mass. The neck should be examined for thyromegaly.
A 13-year-old girl presents to a medical office for the evaluation of a lump on the front of her neck. The patient denies pain, but states that the mass bothers her because “it moves when I swallow”. The physical examination reveals a midline neck mass that is above the hyoid bone but below the level of the mandible. The mass is minimally mobile and feels fluctuant without erythema. The patient is afebrile and all vital signs are stable. A complete blood count and thyroid function tests are performed and are within normal limits. What is the most likely cause of this patient’s presentation?
Persistent thyroid tissue at the tongue base
Deletion of the 22q11 gene
Cyst formation in a persistent thyroglossal duct
Walking becomes increasingly awkward and tentative; the patient has a tendency to totter and fall repeatedly, but has no ataxia of gait or of the limbs and does not manifest a She was diag-nosed with Crohn’s disease 2 years ago, and it involves her terminal ileum and proximal colon, as confirmed by colonoscopy and small bowel radiography. Early prominent gait disturbance with only mild memory loss suggests vascular dementia or, rarely, NPH (see below). The patient was tentatively diagnosed with Alzheimer disease (AD).
A 35-year-old woman with a history of Crohn disease presents for a follow-up appointment. She says that lately, she has started to notice difficulty walking. She says that some of her friends have joked that she appears to be walking as if she was drunk. Past medical history is significant for Crohn disease diagnosed 2 years ago, managed with natalizumab for the past year because her intestinal symptoms have become severe and unresponsive to other therapies. On physical examination, there is gait and limb ataxia present. Strength is 4/5 in the right upper limb. A T1/T2 MRI of the brain is ordered and is shown. Which of the following is the most likely diagnosis?
Sporadic Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease (sCJD)
Variant Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease (vCJD)
Subacute sclerosing panencephalitis (SSPE)
Progressive multifocal encephalopathy (PML)
Both light and heavy bleeding were associated with subsequent preterm labor, placental abruption, and pregnancy loss before 24 weeks. In a study of 347 patients with a first-trimester pregnancy documented by ultrasonography, the overall rate of pregnancy loss was 6.1% to 4.2% in patients without bleeding and 12.4% in patients with bleeding (4). Second, the patient may be noted to have little bleeding from the vagina but deteriorating vital signs manifested by low blood pressure and rapid pulse, falling hematocrit level, and flank or abdominal pain. Bleeding from a previa usu in a woman who has had an uneventful prenatal course.
A 23-year-old G1 at 10 weeks gestation based on her last menstrual period is brought to the emergency department by her husband due to sudden vaginal bleeding. She says that she has mild lower abdominal cramps and is feeling dizzy and weak. Her blood pressure is 100/60 mm Hg, the pulse is 100/min, and the respiration rate is 15/min. She says that she has had light spotting over the last 3 days, but today the bleeding increased markedly and she also noticed the passage of clots. She says that she has changed three pads since the morning. She has also noticed that the nausea she was experiencing over the past few days has subsided. The physician examines her and notes that the cervical os is open and blood is pooling in the vagina. Products of conception can be visualized in the os. The patient is prepared for a suction curettage. Which of the following is the most likely cause for the pregnancy loss?
Antiphospholipid syndrome
Chromosomal abnormalities
A 5-month-old boy is brought to his physician because of vomiting, night sweats, and tremors. A newborn boy with respiratory distress, lethargy, and hypernatremia. Often neonates will have an abdominal mass at presentation.Diagnosis. If the condition began before 3 weeks’ corrected age, the crying has a diurnal pattern consistent with colic (afternoon and evening clustering), the infant is otherwise developing and thriving, and no organic cause is found, a diagnosis of colic is indicated.
An 8-month-old boy is brought to a medical office by his mother. The mother states that the boy has been very fussy and has not been feeding recently. The mother thinks the baby has been gaining weight despite not feeding well. The boy was delivered vaginally at 39 weeks gestation without complications. On physical examination, the boy is noted to be crying in his mother’s arms. There is no evidence of cyanosis, and the cardiac examination is within normal limits. The crying intensifies when the abdomen is palpated. The abdomen is distended with tympany in the left lower quadrant. You suspect a condition caused by the failure of specialized cells to migrate. What is the most likely diagnosis?
Patients present with myalgias, muscle weakness, and atrophy affecting the thigh and calf muscles. Usually, there is sciatica and chronic pain in the back and lower extremities, but sensorimotor and reflex changes in the legs are variable. Some of the commonest conditions that affect the legs are peripheral neuropathy (particularly associated with diabetes mellitus), lumbar nerve root lesions (associated with pathology of the intervertebral discs), fibular nerve palsy, and spastic paraparesis. In cases of total leg and thigh weakness, one first considers a spinal cord disease.
A 60-year-old man seeks evaluation at a medical office due to leg pain while walking. He says the pain starts in his buttocks and extends to his thighs and down to his calves. Previously, the pain resolved with rest, but the pain now persists in his feet, even during rest. His past medical history is significant for diabetes mellitus, hypertension, and cigarette smoking. The vital signs are within normal limits. The physical examination shows an atrophied leg with bilateral loss of hair. Which of the following is the most likely cause of this patient’s condition?
Decreased permeability of endothelium
Narrowing and calcification of vessels
Peripheral emboli formation

A 52-year-old man presents to the emergency department with chest pain radiating to his left jaw and arm. He states that he had experienced similar symptoms when playing basketball. The medical history is significant for diabetes mellitus, hypertension, and GERD, for which he takes metformin, hydrochlorothiazide, and pantoprazole, respectively. The blood pressure is 150/90 mm Hg, the pulse is 100/min, and the respirations are 15/min. The ECG reveals ST elevation in leads V3-V6. He is hospitalized for an acute MI and started on treatment. The next day he complains of dizziness and blurred vision. Repeat vital signs were as follows: blood pressure 90/60 mm Hg, pulse 72/min, and respirations 12/min. The laboratory results were as follows: Serum chemistry Sodium 143 mEq/L Potassium 4.1 mEq/L Chloride 98 mEq/L Bicarbonate 22 mEq/L Blood urea nitrogen 26 mg/dL Creatinine 2.3 mg/dL Glucose 120 mg/dL Which of the following drugs is responsible for this patient’s lab abnormalities?
What precautions could have been taken to avoid this hospitalization? Symptomatic treatment may require temperature control with cooling blankets and seizure control with diazepam. In mild cases, rewarm the patient with blankets or warm water. If fever is present, cooling by physical measures should be tried.
A 28-year-old woman is brought to the hospital by her boyfriend. She has had three days of fever and headache followed by one day of worsening confusion and hallucinations. She also becomes agitated when offered water. Her temperature is 101°F (38.3°C). Two months prior to presentation, the couple was camping and encountered bats in their cabin. In addition to an injection shortly after exposure, what would have been the most effective treatment for this patient?
A killed vaccine within ten days of exposure
Oseltamivir within one week of exposure
Venom antiserum within hours of exposure
Doxycycline for one month after exposure

A population-based study. A population-based study. The Harvard Medical Practice Study, one of the largest studies to address this issue, was performed with hospitalized patients in New York. An epidemiologic, population-based study.
A recent study attempted to analyze whether increased "patient satisfaction" driven healthcare resulted in increased hospitalization. In this hospital, several of the wards adopted new aspects of "patient satisfaction" driven healthcare, whereas the remainder of the hospital continued to use existing protocols. Baseline population characteristics and demographics were collected at the start of the study. At the end of the following year, hospital use was assessed and compared between the two groups. Which of the following best describes this type of study?
Retrospective case-control
Even a screening test with 98% specificity and 50% sensitivity would have a positive predictive value of only about 1%. The Accuracy of Screening A screening test’s accuracy or ability to discriminate disease is described by four indices: sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value, and negative predictive value (Table 100-2). Although the diagnostic accuracy of this imaging method is high (sensitivity, 90–94%; specificity, 95–97%; negative predictive value, 93–99%), its prognostic utility has not been defined. The sensitivity and specificity for the diagnosis are about 95% each.
A new screening test utilizing a telemedicine approach to diagnosing diabetic retinopathy has been implemented in a diabetes clinic. An ophthalmologist’s exam was also performed on all patients as the gold standard for diagnosis. In a pilot study of 500 patients, the screening test detected the presence of diabetic retinopathy in 250 patients. Ophthalmologist exam confirmed a diagnosis of diabetic retinopathy in 200 patients who tested positive in the screening test, as well as 10 patients who tested negative in the screening test. What is the sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value, and negative predictive value of the screening test?

In normal individuals, the amplitude of the evoked muscle action potentials does not change at these rates of stimulation. FIGURE 27–6 Muscle contraction responses to different patterns of nerve stimulation used in monitoring skeletal muscle relaxation. Length-tension analysis of cardiac muscle, for example, shows a dramatic increase in passive tension as cardiac muscle is stretched beyond its resting length. Exercising the muscle for 10 s before stimulation will cause a posttetanic facilitation in patients with the Lambert-Eaton syndrome (200-fold increases are not uncommon).
A healthy 22-year-old male participates in a research study you are leading to compare the properties of skeletal and cardiac muscle. You conduct a 3-phased experiment with the participant. In the first phase, you get him to lift up a 2.3 kg (5 lb) weight off a table with his left hand. In the second phase, you get him to do 20 burpees, taking his heart rate to 150/min. In the third phase, you electrically stimulate his gastrocnemius with a frequency of 50 Hz. You are interested in the tension and electrical activity of specific muscles as follows: Biceps in phase 1, cardiac muscle in phase 2, and gastrocnemius in phase 3. What would you expect to be happening in the phases and the respective muscles of interest?
Recruitment of small motor units at the start of experiments 1 and 2
Recruitment of large motor units followed by small motor units in experiment 1
Fused tetanic contraction at the end of all three experiments
Increase of tension in all phases
This history may give a significant clue to the type of injury and the likely findings on clinical examination, for example, if the patient was kicked around the medial aspect of the knee, a valgus deformity injury to the tibial collateral ligament might be suspected. The knee will also be assessed for: joint line tenderness, patellofemoral movement and instability, presence of an effusion, muscle injury, and popliteal fossa masses. The patient developed significant deformity of the knee over time, including a large effusion in the lateral aspect. B. Knee joint showing a torn tibial collateral ligament.
A 20-year-old male comes into your office two days after falling during a pick up basketball game. The patient states that the lateral aspect of his knee collided with another player's knee. On exam, the patient's right knee appears the same size as his left knee without any swelling or effusion. The patient has intact sensation and strength in both lower extremities. The patient's right knee has no laxity upon varus stress test, but is more lax upon valgus stress test when compared to his left knee. Lachman's test and posterior drawer test both have firm endpoints without laxity. Which of the following structures has this patient injured?
Posterior cruciate ligament
Anterior cruciate ligament
Medial collateral ligament
Lateral collateral ligament

The patient first notices mild general weakness and paresthesias consisting of tingling, “pins and needles” feelings, or other vaguely described sensations. Patients usually present with numbness and paresthesias in the distal extremities that are often asymmetric. In addition, clinical signs (such as pain, pins-and-needles sensations, paresthesia, and fascicular muscle twitching) resulting from any disorder affecting these spinal nerves (e.g., herniated intervertebral disc in the lumbar region) appear in the lower limb. The patient, after being asleep for a few hours, is awakened by numbness or a tingling, prickling, “pins-and-needles” feeling in the fingers, and hands.
An 18-year-old man comes to the clinic with his mom for “pins and needles” of both of his arms. He denies any past medical history besides a recent anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) tear that was repaired 1 week ago. The patient reports that the paresthesias are mostly located along the posterior forearms, left more than the right. What physical examination finding would you expect from this patient?
Loss of forearm flexion and supination
In an epileptic patient known to be taking seizure medications chronically but in whom the serum level of drug is unknown, it is probably best to administer the full-recommended dose of phenytoin. The patient had been taking phenytoin (his only medication) since the onset of the seizure disorder. Phenytoin is contraindicated in toxicologic seizures: Animal and human data demonstrate worse outcomes after phenytoin loading, especially Errors in dosing by health care providers may require educational efforts.
A 9-year-old girl is resuscitated after the administration of an erroneous dose of intravenous phenytoin for recurrent seizures. This incident is reported to the authorities. A thorough investigation reveals various causative factors leading to the event. One important finding is a verbal misunderstanding of the dose of phenytoin between the ordering senior resident and the receiving first-year resident during the handover of the patient. To minimize the risk of this particular error in the future, the most appropriate management is to implement which of the following?
Closed-loop communication
Patients should avoid intense athletic competition and training. Unless foul play is suspected, the health care team need not contact the medical examiner either. Approach to the Patient with Possible Cardiovascular Disease Obviously those found to have serious heart disease should give up competitive sports, but the majority has no demonstrable cardiac abnormality.
You are the team physician for an NBA basketball team. On the morning of an important playoff game, an EKG of a star player, Mr. P, shows findings suspicious for hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM). Mr. P is an otherwise healthy, fit, professional athlete. The playoff game that night is the most important of Mr. P's career. When you inform the coach that you are thinking of restricting Mr. P's participation, he threatens to fire you. Later that day you receive a phone call from the owner of the team threatening a lawsuit should you restrict Mr. P's ability to play. Mr. P states that he will be playing in the game "if it's the last thing I do." Which of the following is the most appropriate next step?
Consult with a psychiatrist to have Mr. P committed
Call the police and have Mr. P arrested
Allow Mr. P to play against medical advice

The newborn (particularly a preterm infant) responds paradoxically to hypoxia with apnea rather than tachypnea as occurs in adults. Transient tachypnea of the newborn may be caused by retained lung fluid or slow resorption of lung fluid. Speciically, the rates of transient tachypnea of the newborn were 6.7 and 9.9 percent in those given betamethasone and placebo, respectively. Transient tachypnea of the newborn usually is noted in larger premature infants and in term infants born by precipitous delivery or cesarean section without prior labor.
Several hours after vaginal delivery, a male newborn delivered at full-term develops tachycardia and tachypnea. His blood pressure is within normal limits.

Mutations of the red and green pigments cause congenital X-linked color blindness in 8% of males. Each son born to a female carrier of an X-linked recessive trait has a 50% chance of inheriting the trait, but none of this woman’s daughters would be affected (each daughter has a 50% chance of being a carrier). When a woman carries a gene causing an X-linked recessive condition, each of her sons has a 50-percent risk of being afected, and each daughter has a 50-percent chance of being a carrier. In this situation, there is a 25% chance that the offspring will have a normal genotype, a 50% probability of a heterozygous state, and a 25% risk of homozygosity for the recessive alleles (Figs.

He was rushed to the hospital after developing progressive respiratory distress over the last 24 hours. His medical history is significant for long-standing severe persistent asthma, hypertension, and several bouts of community and hospital-acquired pneumonia. His medications include amlodipine, lisinopril, inhaled fluticasone, salmeterol, and oral prednisone. He is a lifelong non-smoker and drinks alcohol occasionally on the weekends. He works as a sales executive and went to Hawaii a month ago. In the emergency department, he was started on broad-spectrum antibiotics and bronchodilators. His respiratory failure progressively worsens, and on day 2 of admission, he requires mechanical ventilator support. Chest X-ray shows multiple nodules bilaterally in the lower lobes. Flexible bronchoscopy is performed and the bronchoalveolar lavage sample from the medial segment of the right lower lobe shows neutrophils, and the fungal preparation shows Aspergillus fumigatus. A video-assisted thoracoscopy is performed and biopsy from the right lower lobe is taken which shows plugging of the terminal bronchioles with mucus, inflammatory cells, and fungal vascular invasion. Which of the following is the most likely mechanism responsible for the biopsy findings?
Defects in the immune response
Aspergillus fumigatus suppresses the production of IgA
Aspergillus fumigatus suppresses the production of IgM
Suppression of the innate immune system by Aspergillus fumigatus
For patients with chronic epigastric pain, the possibilities of inflammatory bowel disease, anatomic abnormalitysuch as malrotation, pancreatitis, and biliary disease should beruled out by appropriate testing when suspected (see Chapter126 and Table 128-3 for recommended studies). Values greater than three times the upper limit of normal in combination with epigastric pain strongly suggest the diagnosis if gut perforation or infarction is excluded. No evidence of an inflammatory, anatomic, metabolic, or neoplastic process considered that explains the subject’s symptoms. No evidence of an inflammatory, anatomic, metabolic, or neoplastic process that explains the subject’s symptoms.
A 70-year-old man comes to the physician because of a 4-month history of epigastric pain, nausea, and weakness. He has smoked one pack of cigarettes daily for 50 years and drinks one alcoholic beverage daily. He appears emaciated. He is 175 cm (5 ft 9 in) tall and weighs 47 kg (103 lb); BMI is 15 kg/m2. He is diagnosed with gastric cancer. Which of the following cytokines is the most likely direct cause of this patient’s examination findings?
The patient had been very healthy until 2 months previously when he developed intermittent leg weakness. Hypertension or the presence of edema suggests lupus renal disease. Over the following weeks, the patient began to develop muscular weakness, predominantly footdrop. The foot should also be carefully examined for pallor on elevation and rubor on dependency, as these findings are indicative of chronic ischemia.
A 40-year-old woman comes to the physician because of a 1-week history of fatigue, dark urine, and a feeling of heaviness in her legs. Two weeks ago, she returned from a vacation to Brazil, where she spent most of her days exploring the city of Rio de Janeiro on foot. She also gained 3 kg (7 lb) during her vacation. She has systemic lupus erythematosus. Her only medication is hydroxychloroquine. Her temperature is 37.5°C (99.5°F), pulse is 78/min, and blood pressure is 162/98 mm Hg. Physical examination shows 2+ pretibial edema bilaterally. Urinalysis shows: Blood 3+ Protein 1+ RBC 6–8/hpf with dysmorphic features RBC casts numerous WBC 8/hpf WBC casts rare Bacteria negative Which of the following is the most likely cause of this patient's leg findings?"
This patient had a urine:plasma electrolyte ratio of 1 and predictably did not respond to a moderate water restriction of ~1 L/d. Serum uric acid >8 mg/dL Serum creatinine >1.6 mg/dL If, after 24–48 h Serum uric acid >8 mg/dL Serum creatinine >1.6 mg/dL Correct treatable renal failure (obstruction) Start rasburicase 0.2 mg/kg daily Serum uric acid ˜8.0 mg/dL Serum creatinine ˜1.6 mg/dL Urine pH °7.0 Delay chemotherapy if feasible or start hemodialysis Start chemotherapy ± chemotherapy Monitor serum chemistry every 6–12 h Discontinue bicarbonate administration* If serum potassium >6 meq/L Serum uric acid >10 mg/dL Serum creatinine >10 mg/dL Serum phosphate >10 mg/dL or increasing Symptomatic hypocalcemia present At diagnosis, baseline complete blood count, C-reactive protein, electrolytes,blood urea nitrogen, creatinine, glucose, calcium, and phosphorus should be obtained. The patient was treated with antibiotics and intubated for several days, with the development of polyuria (3–5 L/d), hypernatremia, and acute renal insufficiency; the peak plasma Na+ concentration was 156 meq/L, and peak creatinine was 2.6 mg/dL.
A 67-year-old woman with advanced bladder cancer comes to the physician for a follow-up examination. She is currently undergoing chemotherapy with an agent that forms cross-links between DNA strands. Serum studies show a creatinine concentration of 2.1 mg/dL and a blood urea nitrogen concentration of 30 mg/dL. Urine dipstick of a clean-catch midstream specimen shows 2+ protein and 1+ glucose. Prior to initiation of chemotherapy, her laboratory values were within the reference range. In addition to hydration, administration of which of the following would most likely have prevented this patient's current condition?
Mucopurulent cervicitis Cervical erythema, friability, with thick creamy discharge >10 PMNs/hpf Mild cervical tenderness Gram-negative intracellular diplococci Histopathology of endocervical infection caused by Chlamydia trachomatis, herpes simplex virus, Trichomonas vaginalis, and Neisseria gonorrhoeae. HPV-related vulvar carcinoma—associated with high-risk HPV types 16, 18. E. HPV-related vulvar carcinoma is due to high-risk HPV types 16 and 18.
A 57-year-old post-menopausal woman comes to the physician because of intermittent, bloody post-coital vaginal discharge for the past month. She does not have pain with intercourse. Eleven years ago, she had LSIL on a routine Pap smear and testing for high-risk HPV strains was positive. Colposcopy showed CIN 1. She has not returned for follow-up Pap smears since then. She is sexually active with her husband only, and they do not use condoms. She has smoked half a pack of cigarettes per day for the past 25 years and does not drink alcohol. On speculum exam, a 1.4 cm, erythematous exophytic mass with ulceration is noted on the posterior wall of the upper third of the vagina. Which of the following is the most probable histopathology of this mass?
The patient’s urine was reddish orange. Urine is dark with hemoglobinuria, and there is ↑ excretion of urinary and fecal urobilinogen. When no specific diagnosis is forthcoming, the following investigations, where applicable, are suggested: complete blood count, liver function tests, thick/thin blood films or rapid diagnostic testing for malaria (repeated several times if necessary), urinalysis, urine and blood cultures (repeated once), chest x-ray, and collection of an acute-phase serum sample to be held for subsequent examination along with a paired convalescent-phase serum sample. After the clearance of the parasites, this intraphagocytic malarial pigment is often evident for several days in the peripheral blood films or for longer in bone marrow aspirates or smears of fluid expressed after intradermal puncture.
Three days after starting a new drug for malaria prophylaxis, a 19-year-old college student comes to the physician because of dark-colored urine and fatigue. He has not had any fever, dysuria, or abdominal pain. He has no history of serious illness. Physical examination shows scleral icterus. Laboratory studies show a hemoglobin of 9.7 g/dL and serum lactate dehydrogenase of 234 U/L. Peripheral blood smear shows poikilocytes with bite-shaped irregularities. Which of the following drugs has the patient most likely been taking?
This test was internally validated and found to have a PPV of 92% and an NPV of 96%. PPV and NPV vary depending on disease prevalence in population being tested. The lower the disease prevalence, the higher the NPV of the test for that disease. The negative predictive value (NPV) is the probability that a patient with a test result truly does not have the disease.
You are reviewing raw data from a research study performed at your medical center examining the effectiveness of a novel AIDS screening examination. The study enrolled 250 patients with confirmed AIDS, and 240 of these patients demonstrated a positive screening examination. The control arm of the study enrolled 250 patients who do not have AIDS, and only 5 of these patients tested positive on the novel screening examination. What is the NPV of this novel test? |

Path to Health and Happiness When you think about the life you have led over these past three-and-a-half years, are there any moments when you felt truly happy, and were also aware of the feelings you experienced? Music and art make me feel. If the music is melancholy, so is my inner core. If the music is joyful, well, good things happen too. The music is of no concern. It has to do with a soul, an emotion.

https://huggingface.co/datasets/awacke1/USMLE-Test-Train?p=2 | Parikh P, Sunesara I, Lutz E, et al: Burns during pregnancy: implications for maternal-perinatal providers and guidelines for practice. Crit Care Clin 31(1)67,t2015 Maghsoudi H, Samnia R, Garadaghi A, et aI: Burns in pregnancy. Burning with urination from noninfectious causes may be difficult to distinguish from a urinary tract infection, although some women can distinguish pain when the urine hits the vulvar area (an external dysuria) from burning pain (often suprapubic in location) during urination. Management of acute urinary reten-tion.
A 23-year-old pregnant woman at 22 weeks gestation presents with burning upon urination. She states it started 1 day ago and has been worsening despite drinking more water and taking cranberry extract. She otherwise feels well and is followed by a doctor for her pregnancy. Her temperature is 97.7°F (36.5°C), blood pressure is 122/77 mmHg, pulse is 80/min, respirations are 19/min, and oxygen saturation is 98% on room air. Physical exam is notable for an absence of costovertebral angle tenderness and a gravid uterus. Which of the following is the best treatment for this patient?
Death of a healthy infant (1 month to 1 year old) without obvious cause Once the child became comatose, death was almost inevitable. lthough this is less clear, some recommend that fetal death not attributable to other causes (Dizon-Townson, 1998; Lockshin, 1995). The most common cause of death for infants 1 month to 1 year of age is motor vehicle crashes.
A 3-month-old baby died suddenly at night while asleep. His mother noticed that he had died only after she awoke in the morning. No cause of death was determined based on the autopsy. Which of the following precautions could have prevented the death of the baby?
Placing the infant in a supine position on a firm mattress while sleeping
Keeping the infant covered and maintaining a high room temperature
Application of a device to maintain the sleeping position
Avoiding pacifier use during sleep
In neonates, difficulty in feeding is the usual presentation. The infant is fretful, feeds poorly, and may vomit frequently. Infants often present with constipation and poor feeding. With the most-severe neonatal type, the infant appears normal at birth, but toward the end of the first week, poor feeding, intermittent hypertonicity, opisthotonos, and respiratory irregularities appear.
A mother brings her 3-week-old infant to the pediatrician's office because she is concerned about his feeding habits. He was born without complications and has not had any medical problems up until this time. However, for the past 4 days, he has been fussy, is regurgitating all of his feeds, and his vomit is yellow in color. On physical exam, the child's abdomen is minimally distended but no other abnormalities are appreciated. Which of the following embryologic errors could account for this presentation?
Abnormal migration of ventral pancreatic bud
Complete failure of proximal duodenum to recanalize
Abnormal hypertrophy of the pylorus
Failure of lateral body folds to move ventrally and fuse in the midline
Which one of the following etiologies most likely explains this patient’s pulmonary symptoms? Suspect pulmonary embolism in a patient with rapid onset of hypoxia, hypercapnia, tachycardia, and an ↑ alveolar-arterial oxygen gradient without another obvious explanation. Tachypnea and hypoxemia point toward a pulmonary cause. Pulmonary dysfunction often results in hypoxemia.
A pulmonary autopsy specimen from a 58-year-old woman who died of acute hypoxic respiratory failure was examined. She had recently undergone surgery for a fractured femur 3 months ago. Initial hospital course was uncomplicated, and she was discharged to a rehab facility in good health. Shortly after discharge home from rehab, she developed sudden shortness of breath and had cardiac arrest. Resuscitation was unsuccessful. On histological examination of lung tissue, fibrous connective tissue around the lumen of the pulmonary artery is observed. Which of the following is the most likely pathogenesis for the present findings?
Pulmonary passive congestion
Age and the prevalence of bleeding disorders in women with menorrhagia. Predictors of menorrhagia include bleeding resulting in iron-deficiency anemia or a need for blood transfusion, passage of clots >1 inch in diameter, and changing a pad or tampon more than hourly. Therefore, other possible etiologies, including coagulopathies such as von Willebrand’s disease, should be considered in a woman with heavy menstrual bleeding (46). A history of easy bruising, petechiae, bleeding from mucous membranes, or prolonged bleeding from minor wounds may signify an underlying abnormality of platelet function.
A 20-year-old woman presents with menorrhagia for the past several years. She says that her menses “have always been heavy”, and she has experienced easy bruising for as long as she can remember. Family history is significant for her mother, who had similar problems with bruising easily. The patient's vital signs include: heart rate 98/min, respiratory rate 14/min, temperature 36.1°C (96.9°F), and blood pressure 110/87 mm Hg. Physical examination is unremarkable. Laboratory tests show the following: platelet count 200,000/mm3, PT 12 seconds, and PTT 43 seconds. Which of the following is the most likely cause of this patient’s symptoms?
History Moderate to severe acute abdominal pain; copious emesis. Severe abdominal pain, fever. The patient had noted 2 days of abdominal pain and fever, and his clinical evaluation and CT scan were consistent with appendicitis. Any severe acute pain in the abdomen or back should suggest the possibility of acute pancreatitis.
A 40-year-old zookeeper presents to the emergency department complaining of severe abdominal pain that radiates to her back, and nausea. The pain started 2 days ago and slowly increased until she could not tolerate it any longer. Past medical history is significant for hypertension and hypothyroidism. Additionally, she reports that she was recently stung by one of the zoo’s smaller scorpions, but did not seek medical treatment. She takes aspirin, levothyroxine, oral contraceptive pills, and a multivitamin daily. Family history is noncontributory. Today, her blood pressure is 108/58 mm Hg, heart rate is 99/min, respiratory rate is 21/min, and temperature is 37.0°C (98.6°F). On physical exam, she is a well-developed, obese female that looks unwell. Her heart has a regular rate and rhythm. Radial pulses are weak but symmetric. Her lungs are clear to auscultation bilaterally. Her lateral left ankle is swollen, erythematous, and painful to palpate. An abdominal CT is consistent with acute pancreatitis. Which of the following is the most likely etiology for this patient’s disease?
ould the patient preer prenatal diagnosis? EVALUATION OF NEWBORN CONDITION ............ 610 Prenatal US may suggest the diagnosis. Prenatal diagnosis in a family with purpura fulminans.
A 25-year-old primigravida presents to her physician for a routine prenatal visit. She is at 34 weeks gestation, as confirmed by an ultrasound examination. She has no complaints, but notes that the new shoes she bought 2 weeks ago do not fit anymore. The course of her pregnancy has been uneventful and she has been compliant with the recommended prenatal care. Her medical history is unremarkable. She has a 15-pound weight gain since the last visit 3 weeks ago. Her vital signs are as follows: blood pressure, 148/90 mm Hg; heart rate, 88/min; respiratory rate, 16/min; and temperature, 36.6℃ (97.9℉). The blood pressure on repeat assessment 4 hours later is 151/90 mm Hg. The fetal heart rate is 151/min. The physical examination is significant for 2+ pitting edema of the lower extremity. Which of the following tests o should confirm the probable condition of this patient?
Leukocyte count with differential

If precipitated by tachycardia, heart rate control with �-blocking agents is preferred. Treatment: anticoagulation, rate and rhythm control and/or cardioversion.
A 62-year-old woman presents for a regular check-up. She complains of lightheadedness and palpitations which occur episodically. Past medical history is significant for a myocardial infarction 6 months ago and NYHA class II chronic heart failure. She also was diagnosed with grade I arterial hypertension 4 years ago. Current medications are aspirin 81 mg, atorvastatin 10 mg, enalapril 10 mg, and metoprolol 200 mg daily. Her vital signs are a blood pressure of 135/90 mm Hg, a heart rate of 125/min, a respiratory rate of 14/min, and a temperature of 36.5°C (97.7°F). Cardiopulmonary examination is significant for irregular heart rhythm and decreased S1 intensity. ECG is obtained and is shown in the picture (see image). Echocardiography shows a left ventricular ejection fraction of 39%. Which of the following drugs is the best choice for rate control in this patient?
Chronic sinusitis (4–12 weeks): Adjuvant therapy with intranasal corticosteroids, decongestants, and antihistamines may be useful in combating the allergic/infammatory component of the disease. Patients with perennial rhinitis commonly develop the problem in adult life, and manifest nasal congestion and a postnasal discharge, often associated with thickening of the sinus membranes demonstrated by radiography. Topical decongestants should be used for no longer than 3 days because prolonged use may lead to rebound vasodilation and worsening of symptoms. Patients experience constant nasal congestion and sinus pressure, with intermittent periods of greater severity, which may persist for years.
A 35-year-old male presents to his primary care physician with complaints of seasonal allergies. He has been using intranasal vasoconstrictors several times per day for several weeks. What is a likely sequela of the chronic use of topical nasal decongestants?
Persistent nasal crusting
Patients usually do not complain of diplopia, in contrast to patients having conditions with a more acute onset of ocular muscle weakness (e.g., myasthenia gravis). There is intermittent diplopia owing to paroxysmal contraction of one or more ocular muscles, usually after their activation. These ocular problems are potentially sight-threatening and warrant ophthalmologic evaluation. A history of prior trauma, eye surgery, contact lens use, diplopia, systemic symptoms (e.g., dysphagia or peripheral muscle weakness), or a family history of ptosis should be sought.
A 46-year-old woman comes to the physician because of a 2-week history of diplopia and ocular pain when reading the newspaper.

She reports that she has been overweight all her adult life and is happy to have lost 6.8-kg (15-lb) of weight in the past 2 months. Her pulse is 110/min, and blood pressure is 148/98 mm Hg. Physical examination shows moist palms and a nontender thyroid gland that is enlarged to two times its normal size. Ophthalmologic examination shows prominence of the globes of the eyes, bilateral lid retraction, conjunctival injection, and an inability to converge the eyes. There is no pain on movement of the extraocular muscles. Visual acuity is 20/20 bilaterally. Neurologic examination shows a fine resting tremor of the hands. Deep tendon reflexes are 3+ with a shortened relaxation phase. Which of the following is the most likely cause of this patient's ocular complaints?
Granulomatous inflammation of the cavernous sinus
Abnormal communication between the cavernous sinus and the internal carotid artery
Glycosaminoglycan accumulation in the orbit

They noticed the patient was initially weak in his upper body and arms, but now he won’t move his legs with as much strength or vigor as he used to. Physical exam is notable for bilateral ptosis with a sluggish pupillary response, a very weak sucking and gag reflex, and shallow respirations. The patient is currently drooling and his diaper is dry. The parents state he has not had a bowel movement in over 1 day. Which of the following is the pathophysiology of this patient’s condition?
Autoantibodies against the presynaptic voltage-gated calcium channels
Autoimmune demyelination of peripheral nerves
Blockade of presynaptic acetylcholine release at the neuromuscular junction
Lower motor neuron destruction in the anterior horn
A female neonate appeared healthy until age ~24 hours, when she became lethargic. She appeared normal at birth. The child’s overall appearance, evidence of growth failure, orfailure to thrive may point to a significant underlying inflammatory disorder. Poor feeding and failure to gain weight, instability of temperature (mainly hypothermia), and seizures become apparent in early infancy.
A 9-month-old female is brought to the emergency department after experiencing a seizure. She was born at home and was normal at birth according to her parents. Since then, they have noticed that she does not appear to be achieving developmental milestones as quickly as her siblings, and often appears lethargic. Physical exam reveals microcephaly, very light pigmentation (as compared to her family), and a "musty" body odor. The varied manifestations of this disease can most likely be attributed to which of the following genetic principles?
By MRI one can, in advanced cases, appreciate atrophy of the dorsal mesencephalon (superior colliculi, red nuclei) giving rise to a “mouse ears” configuration (Fig. Imaging studies demonstrate the cerebellocerebral abnormality. Pathology of the Ear. Gen erally, other sonographic abnormalities are evident.
A 23-year-old man comes to the physician for evaluation of decreased hearing, dizziness, and ringing in his right ear for the past 6 months. Physical examination shows multiple soft, yellow plaques and papules on his arms, chest, and back. There is sensorineural hearing loss and weakness of facial muscles bilaterally. His gait is unsteady. An MRI of the brain shows a 3-cm mass near the right internal auditory meatus and a 2-cm mass at the left cerebellopontine angle. The abnormal cells in these masses are most likely derived from which of the following embryological structures?
Which one of the following etiologies most likely explains this patient’s pulmonary symptoms? A 40-year-old woman presented to her doctor with a 6-month history of increasing shortness of breath. A 50-year-old overweight woman came to the doctor complaining of hoarseness of voice and noisy breathing. What factors contributed to this patient’s hyponatremia?

Myocardial iron deposition on cardiovascular MRI
Dark corneal ring on slit-lamp examination
Patients developing neurologic symptoms in the lower extremities, severe localized back pain, or problems with bowel and bladder control may need emergency MRI and local radiation therapy and glucocorticoids if cord compression is identified. Any patient with cancer who has severe back pain should undergo an MRI. New back pain in patients with cancer should be explored aggressively on an emergent basis; to wait for neurologic symptoms is a potentially catastrophic error. The patient may occasionally complain of back pain only.
A 69-year-old male presents to the emergency room with back pain. He has a history of personality disorder and metastatic prostate cancer and was not a candidate for surgical resection. He began chemotherapy but discontinued due to unremitting nausea. He denies any bowel or bladder incontinence. He has never had pain like this before and is demanding morphine. The nurse administers IV morphine and he feels more comfortable. Vital signs are stable.

The most likely diagnosis is cauda equina syndrome and steroids should be started after to MRI
The most likely diagnosis is cauda equina syndrome and the patient should be rushed to radiation
The most likely diagnosis is conus medullaris syndrome and steroids should be started prior to MRI
In all likelihood, these alterations do not stem from a primary dysfunction of hypothalamic nuclei, but rather are a result of the extreme weight loss that is the primary feature of the disease. Channelrhodopsins are photosensitive ion channels that open in response to light.

An investigator is studying the function of the lateral nucleus of the hypothalamus in an experimental animal. Using a viral vector, the genes encoding chloride-conducting channelrhodopsins are injected into this nucleus. Photostimulation of the channels causes complete inhibition of action potential generation. Persistent photostimulation is most likely to result in which of the following abnormalities in these animals?
A 55-year-old man presents with increasing fatigue, 15-pound weight loss, and a microcytic anemia. Fever of unknown origin, weight loss, Lymphoreticular malignancy Hodgkin disease, non-Hodgkin lymphoma night sweats Most patients present with fatigue and lymphadenopathy and are found to have generalized disease involving the bone marrow, spleen, liver, and (often) the gastrointestinal tract. What caused the hyperkalemia and metabolic acidosis in this patient?
A 52-year-old woman comes to the physician because of a 6-month history of generalized fatigue, low-grade fever, and a 10-kg (22-lb) weight loss. Physical examination shows generalized pallor and splenomegaly. Her hemoglobin concentration is 7.5 g/dL and leukocyte count is 41,800/mm3. Leukocyte alkaline phosphatase activity is low. Peripheral blood smear shows basophilia with myelocytes and metamyelocytes. Bone marrow biopsy shows cellular hyperplasia with proliferation of immature granulocytic cells.

Loss of function of the APC gene
Altered expression of the retinoic acid receptor gene
Unregulated expression of the ABL1 gene
Does this patient have acute cholecystitis? She is in no acute distress, and there are no other significant physical findings; an electrocardiogram is normal except for slight left ventricular hypertrophy. In this setting, it is reasonable to proceed to right heart catheterization for definitive diagnosis. The patient is toxic and has high fever, tachycardia, and marked hypovo-lemia, which if uncorrected, progresses to cardiovascular col-lapse.
A 42-year-old woman is in the hospital recovering from a cholecystectomy performed 3 days ago that was complicated by cholangitis. She is being treated with IV piperacillin-tazobactam. She calls the nurse to her room because she says that her heart is racing. She also demands that someone come in to clean the pile of garbage off of the floor because it is attracting flies. Her pulse is 112/min, respiratory rate is 20/min, temperature is 38.0°C (100.4°F), and blood pressure is 150/90 mm Hg. On physical examination, the patient appears sweaty, distressed, and unable to remain still. She is oriented to person, but not place or time. Palpation of the abdomen shows no tenderness, rebound, or guarding. Which of the following is the most likely diagnosis in this patient?
E. Treatment involves corticosteroids, UV light with psoralen, or immune-modulating therapy. Treatment options for early, rapidly progressive disease include phototherapy (UVA1 or PUVA) or methotrexate (15–20 mg/week) alone or in combination with daily glucocorticoids. The immediate treatment almost invariably includes transfusion of red cells. Mild disease is treated topically with ointments containing corticosteroids or other immunomodulatory agents, whereas more severe disease is treated with phototherapy (which has immunosuppressive effects) or systemic therapy with immunosuppressive agents such as methotrexate or TNF antagonists.
A 48-year-old woman comes to the emergency department because of a photosensitive blistering rash on her hands, forearms, and face for 3 weeks. The lesions are not itchy. She has also noticed that her urine has been dark brown in color recently. Twenty years ago, she was successfully treated for Coats disease of the retina via retinal sclerotherapy. She is currently on hormonal replacement therapy for perimenopausal symptoms. Her aunt and sister have a history of a similar skin lesions. Examination shows multiple fluid-filled blisters and oozing erosions on the forearms, dorsal side of both hands, and forehead. There is hyperpigmented scarring and patches of bald skin along the sides of the blisters. Laboratory studies show a normal serum ferritin concentration. Which of the following is the most appropriate next step in management to induce remission in this patient?
Pursue liver transplantation
Begin oral thalidomide therapy
Begin oral hydroxychloroquine therapy
Presents with painless hematuria, flank pain, abdominal mass. Colicky flank pain radiating to the groin suggests acute ureteric obstruction. Characterized by abdominal (flank) pain and gross hematuria (from rupture of thin-walled renal varicosities). B. Presents with gross hematuria and flank pain
A 53-year-old man comes to the emergency department because of severe right-sided flank pain for 3 hours. The pain is colicky, radiates towards his right groin, and he describes it as 8/10 in intensity. He has vomited once. He has no history of similar episodes in the past. Last year, he was treated with naproxen for swelling and pain of his right toe. He has a history of hypertension. He drinks one to two beers on the weekends. Current medications include amlodipine. He appears uncomfortable. His temperature is 37.1°C (99.3°F), pulse is 101/min, and blood pressure is 130/90 mm Hg. Examination shows a soft, nontender abdomen and right costovertebral angle tenderness. An upright x-ray of the abdomen shows no abnormalities. A CT scan of the abdomen and pelvis shows a 7-mm stone in the proximal ureter and grade I hydronephrosis on the right. Which of the following is most likely to be seen on urinalysis?
Largely positive urinary protein
Affected individuals typically present with breast development (usually only to Tanner stage 3) out of proportion with the amount of pubic and axillary hair present (Fig. At that point, the finding of the progressive developmentof pubic and axillary hair in the presence of testes that remaininfantile in volume should alert the clinician to the disorder. After ruling out androgen-secreting tumors and congenital adrenal hyperplasia, treatment may be aimed at decreasing coarse hair growth. Scores above 8 suggest excess androgen-mediated hair growth, a finding that should be assessed further by means of hormonal evaluation (see below).
A 5-year-old girl is brought to the clinic by her mother for excessive hair growth. Her mother reports that for the past 2 months she has noticed hair at the axillary and pubic areas. She denies any family history of precocious puberty and reports that her daughter has been relatively healthy with an uncomplicated birth history. She denies any recent illnesses, weight change, fever, vaginal bleeding, pain, or medication use. Physical examination demonstrates Tanner stage 4 development. A pelvic ultrasound shows an ovarian mass. Laboratory studies demonstrates an elevated level of estrogen. What is the most likely diagnosis?
Idiopathic precocious puberty
A child who is repeatedly kept home from school becauseof pain receives reinforcement in the form of being excusedfrom responsibilities and withdraws from full social functioning. B. Clinically significant problematic behavioral changes (e.g., belligerence, assaultive- ness, impulsiveness. In severely worried children, defensive aggression may be used to prevent attendance. A 19-year-old college sophomore began to show paranoid traits.
A 16-year-old boy is brought to the physician by his mother because she is worried about his behavior. Yesterday, he was expelled from school for repeatedly skipping classes. Over the past 2 months, he was suspended 3 times for bullying and aggressive behavior towards his peers and teachers. Once, his neighbor found him smoking cigarettes in his backyard. In the past, he consistently maintained an A grade average and had been a regular attendee of youth group events at their local church. The mother first noticed this change in behavior 3 months ago, around the time at which his father moved out after discovering his wife was having an affair. Which of the following defense mechanisms best describes the change in this patient's behavior?
Inquiry should be made into the nature of the double vision (purely side-by-side versus partial vertical displacement of images), mode of onset, duration, intermittency, diurnal variation, and associated neurologic or systemic symptoms. A 33-year-old fit and well woman came to the emergency department complaining of double vision and pain behind her right eye. Subsequent eye examinations depend on severity of retinopathy and level of diabetes control. Because many individuals with type 2 DM have had asymptomatic diabetes for several years before diagnosis, the American Diabetes Association (ADA) recommends the following ophthalmologic examination schedule: (1) individuals with type 1 DM should have an initial eye examination within 5 years of diagnosis, (2) individuals with type 2 DM should have an initial eye examination at the time of diabetes diagnosis, (3) women with DM who are pregnant or contemplating pregnancy should have an eye examination prior to conception and during the first trimester, and (4) if eye exam is normal, repeat examination in 2–3 years is appropriate.
A 63-year-old woman presents to her primary-care doctor for a 2-month history of vision changes, specifically citing the gradual onset of double vision. Her double vision is present all the time and does not get better or worse throughout the day. She has also noticed that she has a hard time keeping her right eye open, and her right eyelid looks 'droopy' in the mirror. Physical exam findings during primary gaze are shown in the photo. Her right pupil is 6 mm and poorly reactive to light. The rest of her neurologic exam is unremarkable. Laboratory studies show an Hb A1c of 5.0%. Which of the following is the next best test for this patient?
MR angiography of the head
Many polypeptides are covalently modified, either while they are still attached to the ribosome (cotranslational) or after their synthesis has been completed (posttranslational). Many polypeptide chains are covalently modified during or after translation. Elongation of the polypeptide involves the addition of amino acids to the carboxyl end of the growing chain. As polypeptide chains are synthesized by the membrane-bound polysomes, the protein is injected into the lumen of the rER cisterna, where it is further modified post-translationally by enzymes.
An investigator is studying the modification of newly formed polypeptides in plated eukaryotic cells. After the polypeptides are released from the ribosome, a chemically-tagged protein attaches covalently to lysine residues on the polypeptide chain, forming a modified polypeptide. When a barrel-shaped complex is added to the cytoplasm, the modified polypeptide lyses, resulting in individual amino acids and the chemically-tagged proteins. Which of the following post-translational modifications has most likely occurred?
The pathology of the optic nerve in amblyopia in the alcoholic has been described by Victor and colleagues (1960). Adams et al observed a rapidly evolving quadriplegia and pseudobulbar palsy in a young alcoholic man who had entered the hospital 10 days earlier with symptoms of alcohol withdrawal. chronic alcohol consumption; presents with confabulation, personality changes, memory loss (permanent). The most common pathologic change in most reports has been characteristic of Alzheimer disease.
A 38-year-old man presents to his physician with double vision persisting for a week. When he enters the exam room, the physician notes that the patient has a broad-based gait. The man’s wife informs the doctor that he has been an alcoholic for the last 5 years and his consumption of alcohol has increased significantly over the past few months. She also reports that he has become indifferent to his family members over time and is frequently agitated. She also says that his memory has been affected significantly, and when asked about a particular detail, he often recollects it incorrectly, though he insists that his version is the true one. On physical examination, his vital signs are stable, but when the doctor asks him where he is, he seems to be confused. His neurological examination also shows nystagmus. Which of the following options describes the earliest change in the pathophysiology of the central nervous system in this man?
Decreased α-ketoglutarate dehydrogenase activity in astrocytes
Increased extracellular concentration of glutamate
Increased astrocyte lactate
Breakdown of the blood-brain barrier
Antiplatelet agents, such as aspirin, should be given to patients with transient ischemic attacks, and if these are not effective, warfarin should be considered. One currently favored approach, based in part on the WARSS trial, is to simply administer aspirin in all cases of acute stroke. Currently, most stroke neu-rologists prescribe both aspirin and clopidogrel for secondary 1Brunicardi_Ch23_p0897-p0980.indd 91027/02/19 4:14 PM 911ARTERIAL DISEASECHAPTER 23stroke prevention in patients who have experienced a TIA or stroke.19 In patients with symptomatic carotid stenosis, the degree of stenosis appears to be the most important predic-tor in determining risk for an ipsilateral stroke. Johnston SC, Easton JD, Farrant M, et al: Clopidogrel and aspirin in acute ischemic stroke and high-risk TIA.
A 69-year-old man is brought by his son to the emergency department with weakness in his right arm and leg. The man insists that he is fine and blames his son for "creating panic". Four hours ago the patient was having tea with his wife when he suddenly dropped his teacup. He has had difficulty moving his right arm since then and cannot walk because his right leg feels stuck. He has a history of hypertension and dyslipidemia, for which he currently takes lisinopril and atorvastatin, respectively. He is allergic to aspirin and peanuts.

A 70-year-old man presents to a medical clinic reporting blood in his urine and lower abdominal pain for the past few days. He is also concerned about urinary frequency and urgency. He states that he recently completed a cycle of chemotherapy for non-Hodgkin lymphoma. Which medication in the chemotherapy regimen most likely caused his symptoms?
Treatment of bites includes local washing and elevation of the bitten area, tetanus prophylaxis, and analgesic administration. Care of the bite wound includes simple cleansing with soap and water; application of a dry, sterile dressing; and splinting of the affected extremity with padding between the digits. Each year, 800,000 Americans seek medical attention for dog bites; of those injured, 386,000 require treatment in an emergency department, with >1000 emergency department visits each day and about a dozen deaths per year. Antibiotics may also be considered if misguided first aid efforts have included incision or mouth suction of the bite site.
A 27-year-old man presents to the emergency department after a dog bite. The patient was intoxicated and pulled the dog’s tail while it was eating.

Switch risperidone to clozapine
A 33-year-old fit and well woman came to the emergency department complaining of double vision and pain behind her right eye. Initially, weakness begins with extraocular muscles, drooping eyelids, double vision, and generalized muscular weakness. Blurring of vision, diplopia, and ptosis may attend the drowsiness and may bring the patient first to an ophthalmologist. A 56-year-old woman is brought to the university eye center with a complaint of “loss of vision.” Because of visual impair-ment, she has lost her driver’s license and has fallen several times in her home.
A 35-year-old woman comes to the physician because of a 1-month history of double vision, difficulty climbing stairs, and weakness when trying to brush her hair. She reports that these symptoms are worse after she exercises and disappear after she rests for a few hours. Physical examination shows drooping of her right upper eyelid that worsens when the patient is asked to gaze at the ceiling for 2 minutes. There is diminished motor strength in the upper extremities. The remainder of the examination shows no abnormalities. Which of the following is the most likely diagnosis?
Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis
He was euvolemic on examination, with no lymphadenopathy and a normal chest examination. B. Presents in late adulthood with painless lymphadenopathy B. Presents in late adulthood with painless lymphadenopathy Presents in infancy or early childhood with dyspnea and fatigability.
A 6-year-old male who recently immigrated to the United States from Asia is admitted to the hospital with dyspnea. Physical exam reveals a gray pseudomembrane in the patient's oropharynx along with lymphadenopathy. The patient develops myocarditis and expires on hospital day 5. Which of the following would have prevented this patient's presentation and decline?
Increased CD4+ T cell count
Secretory IgA against viral proteins

Circulating IgG against AB exotoxin
: Eventual AIDS vaccine failure in a rhesus monkey by viral escape from cytotoxic T lymphocytes. One patient with hypogammaglobulinemia who had been infected 12 years earlier and was receiving IV immune globulin suddenly developed quadriplegia and respiratory muscle paralysis and died; analysis showed that the virus had reverted to a more wild-type sequence. This child has acute falciparum malaria, and her lethargy and abnormal laboratory tests are consistent with progres-sion to severe disease. Excessive physical activity and local injections during the period of asymptomatic infection were thought to favor the development of paralysis of the exercised or injected limbs.
A 12-year-old boy who recently emigrated from Pakistan presents with fever, muscle pain, and weakness of the trunk, abdomen, and legs. The patient’s mother says that he has not been vaccinated. Physical examination reveals fasciculation and flaccid paralysis of the lower limbs. A CSF analysis reveals lymphocytosis with normal glucose and protein levels. A throat swab reveals an RNA virus. Which of the following would most likely be destroyed by the virus in this patient?
Posterior horn cells of the spinal cord
Anterior horn of the spinal cord
Additionally, the sigmoidal relationship between the velocity of the reaction and substrate concentration (see p. 98) maximizes the enzyme’s responsiveness to changes in blood glucose level. The other kinetic parameter frequently used to characterize an enzyme is its Km, the concentration of substrate that allows the reaction to proceed at one-half its maximum rate (0.5 Vmax) (see Figure 3–46). The rate of an enzyme-catalyzed reaction increases with substrate concentration until a maximal velocity (Vmax) is reached (Fig. kinetics enzyme for its substrate.
A researcher is studying the properties of an enzyme that adds phosphate groups to glucose. She discovers that the enzyme is present in most body tissues and is located in the cytoplasm of the cells expressing the enzyme. She decides to mix this enzyme under subphysiologic conditions with varying levels of glucose in order to determine the kinetic properties of the enzyme. Specifically, she adds increasing levels of glucose at a saturating concentration of phosphate and sees that the rate at which glucose becomes phosphorylated gets faster at higher levels of glucose. She observes that this rate approaches a maximum speed and calls this speed Y. She then determines the concentration of glucose that is needed to make the enzyme function at half the speed Y and calls this concentration X. Which of the following is most likely true about the properties of this enzyme?
The parasympathetic innervation from spinal cord levels S2 to S4 controls genital erection in both women and men (Fig. These mechanisms also regulate the early development of the female reproductive system. A) selectively inhibits prostaglandin F2alpha (PGF2alpha) production in term decidua: implications for the onset of labor. A complex interplay between PGF2α and oxytocin is critical to the onset of labor.
A 31-year-old G2P2 female at 40 weeks gestation presents to the hospital following a rush of water that came from her vagina. She is 4 cm dilated and 80% effaced. Fetal heart tracing shows a pulse of 155/min with variable decelerations. About 12 hours after presentation, she gives birth to a 6 lb 15 oz baby boy with APGAR scores of 8 and 9 at 1 and 5 minutes, respectively. Which of the following structures is responsible for inhibition of female internal genitalia?
Which one of the following etiologies most likely explains this patient’s pulmonary symptoms? The hemoptysis (coughing up blood in the sputum) and the rest of the history suggest the patient has a lung infection. Fever, pharyngeal erythema, tonsillar exudate, lack of cough. Associated symptoms of fever and chills should raise the suspicion of infective etiologies, both pulmonary and systemic.
A 43-year-old woman presents to the emergency department complaining of palpitations, dry cough, and shortness of breath for 1 week. She immigrated to the United States from Korea at the age of 20. She says that her heart is racing and she has never felt these symptoms before. Her cough is dry and is associated with shortness of breath that occurs with minimal exertion. Her past medical history is otherwise unremarkable. She has no allergies and is not currently taking any medications. She is a nonsmoker and an occasional drinker. She denies illicit drug use. Her blood pressure is 100/65 mm Hg, pulse is 76/min, respiratory rate is 23/min, and temperature is 36.8°C (98.2°F). Her physical examination is significant for bibasilar lung crackles and a non-radiating, low-pitched, mid-diastolic rumbling murmur best heard at the apical region. In addition, she has jugular vein distention and bilateral pitting edema in her lower extremities. Which of the following best describes the infectious agent that led to this patient’s condition?

Based on data from population-based registries, approximately 1 in 8 liveborn and stillborn neonates with a congenital heart defect has a chromosomal abnormality (Dolk, 2010; Hartman, 201l). The recipient neonate may also have circulatory overload from heart failure and severe hypervolemia and hyperviscosity. Furthermore, echocardiography can facilitate evaluation for the several associated defects that can be present in critical neonatal AS, including mitral stenosis, LV hypoplasia, LV endo-cardial fibroelastosis, subaortic stenosis, VSD, or coarctation. Retinopathy of prematurity, Intraventricular hemorrhage, Bronchopulmonary dysplasia (RIB).
A male neonate is being examined by a pediatrician. His mother informs the doctor that she had a mild fever with rash, muscle pain, and swollen and tender lymph nodes during the second month of gestation. The boy was born at 39 weeks gestation via spontaneous vaginal delivery with no prenatal care. On physical examination, the neonate has normal vital signs. Retinal examination reveals the findings shown in the image. Which of the following congenital heart defects is most likely to be present in this neonate?
Ventricular septal defect
B. Presents with high fever, sore throat, drooling with dysphagia, muffled voice, and inspiratory stridor; risk ofairway obstruction This reflects a poor immune response to the virus in the acute phase of infection due to immaturity of the neonatal immune system, as well as infection by a viral strain that has already evaded an immune system that is genetically close to that of the child. High fever, leukocytosis, and a purulent nasal discharge are suggestive of acute bacterial sinusitis. Exceptional situations include lack of response to empirical therapy, unusually severe presentations, nosocomial pneumonia, and immunocompromised children susceptible to infections with opportunistic pathogens (Table 110-3).
A 4-year-old boy is brought to the emergency department by his parents. He is lethargic and confused and has a severe headache, vomiting, and a high-grade fever since earlier that day. His mother reports that the child was doing well until 2 days ago when he developed a fever and green nasal discharge. The patient has a history of neonatal sepsis, meningococcemia at 18 months of age, and pneumococcal pneumonia at 2 and 3 years of age. His scheduled vaccinations are up to date. His blood pressure is 70/50 mm Hg, heart rate is 120/min, respiratory rate is 22/min, and temperature is 39.3°C (102.4°F). On examination, the child is lethargic and his skin is pale, with several petechiae over his buttocks. There is a purulent nasal discharge from both nostrils. The lungs are clear to auscultation bilaterally. Heart sounds are normal. There is marked neck rigidity. Cerebrospinal fluid analysis shows the following results: Opening pressure 100 mm H2O Appearance cloudy Protein 500 mg/dL (5 g/L) White blood cells 2500/μL (polymorphonuclear predominance) Protein 450 mg/dL (4.5 g/L) Glucose 31 mg/dL (1.7 mmol/L) Culture positive for N. meningitidis Which of the following immunological processes is most likely to be impaired in this child?

Approach to the Patient with Disease of the Respiratory System approach to the patient with 305 Disease of the respiratory System Mild pulmonary disease or stable nodules: Treat supportively in the immunocompromised host. Immediate hospitalization and aggressive therapy are warranted for serious pulmonary infections.
A 66-year-old woman with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease is brought to the emergency department because of fever, body aches, malaise, and a dry cough. She has smoked one pack of cigarettes daily for 30 years but quit smoking 1 year ago. She lives with her daughter and her granddaughter, who attends daycare. Her temperature is 38.1°C (101°F). Physical examination shows bilateral conjunctivitis, rhinorrhea, and erythematous tonsils without exudates. Further testing confirms infection with an enveloped orthomyxovirus. Administration of a drug with which of the following mechanisms of action is most appropriate?
Inhibition of nucleoside reverse transcriptase
Inhibition of proton translocation
Inhibition of neuraminidase
Papillary carcinoma of thyroid Unilateral total lobectomy: is it sufficient surgical treatment for patients with AMES low-risk papillary thyroid carcinoma? If the diagnosis is uncertain, the lesions are classified as “suspicious for malignancy.” Lobec-tomy or near-total thyroidectomy is recommended because 60% to 75% turn out to be malignant. Some small papillary thyroid cancers (<1 cm) can be fol-lowed with active surveillance.6 Focused mini-incision parathyroidectomy, after appropri-ate localization, has become the procedure of choice for the treatment of sporadic primary hyperparathyroidism.7 Parathyroidectomy has been shown to improve the clas-sic and the so-called nonspecific symptoms and metabolic complications of primary hyperparathyroidism.8 Normocalcemic hyperparathyroidism is being increasingly recognized; however, there are no definitive guidelines for management.9 Very high calcium and parathyroid hormone levels in a patient with primary hyperparathyroidism should alert the surgeon to the presence of a possible parathyroid carcinoma.10 Subclinical Cushing’s syndrome is characterized by subtle abnormalities in corticosteroid synthesis, and many of its manifestations appear to be treated by adrenalectomy.11 Fine-needle aspiration biopsy has a very limited role in the evaluation of adrenal incidentalomas unless the patient has previously had a cancer and should only be performed after appropriate biochemical studies have been performed to rule out pheochromocytoma.12 Laparoscopic adrenalectomy has become the procedure of choice for excision of most adrenal lesions, except known or suspected cancers.Brunicardi_Ch38_p1625-p1704.indd 162601/03/19 11:20 AM 1627THYROID, PARATHYROID, AND ADRENALCHAPTER 38failed to fuse with the main thyroid, as previously suggested by Crile.
A 38-year-old woman undergoes hemithyroidectomy for treatment of localized, well-differentiated papillary thyroid carcinoma. The lesion is removed with clear margins. However, during the surgery, a structure lying directly adjacent to the superior thyroid artery at the upper pole of the thyroid lobe is damaged. This patient is most likely to experience which of the following symptoms?
Weakness of shoulder shrug
Which one of the following etiologies most likely explains this patient’s pulmonary symptoms? Difficulty in ventilation during resuscitation or high peak inspiratory pressures during mechanical ventilation strongly suggest the diagnosis. A 51-year-old man presents to the emergency department due to acute difficulty breathing. The patient is toxic, with fever, headache, and nuchal rigidity.
A 27-year-old man presents to the emergency room with persistent fever, nausea, and vomiting for the past 3 days. While waiting to be seen, he quickly becomes disoriented and agitated. Upon examination, he has visible signs of difficulty breathing with copious oral secretions and generalized muscle twitching. The patient’s temperature is 104°F (40°C), blood pressure is 90/64 mmHg, pulse is 88/min, and respirations are 18/min with an oxygen saturation of 90% on room air. When the nurse tries to place a nasal cannula, the patient becomes fearful and combative. The patient is sedated and placed on mechanical ventilation. Which of the following is a risk factor for the patient’s most likely diagnosis?
Immediate surgical exploration is mandatory for patients with shock and active ongoing hemorrhage from neck wounds. Stab wounds in a hemodynamically stable patient warrant a CT or FAST scan followed by close inpatient observation. After the initial resuscitative efforts and surgical debridement, the primary concern is the management of the open wound. Stab wounds in a hemodynamically unstable patient or in a patient with peritoneal signs or evisceration require immediate exploratory laparotomy.
A 21-year-old man presents to the emergency department after sustaining a stab wound to the neck at a local farmer's market. The patient is otherwise healthy and is complaining of pain. The patient is able to offer the history himself. His temperature is 97.6°F (36.4°C), blood pressure is 120/84 mmHg, pulse is 90/min, respirations are 15/min, and oxygen saturation is 98% on room air. Physical exam demonstrates a 3 cm laceration 1 cm inferior to the mastoid process on the right side. The patient's breath sounds are clear and he is protecting his airway. No stridor or difficulty breathing is noted. Which of the following is the most appropriate next step in the management of this patient?
Observation and blood pressure monitoring
Enlarged lymph nodes and rare malignancies such as rhabdomyosarcoma can occur either in the midline or laterally.LymphadenopathyThe most common cause of a neck mass in a child is an enlarged lymph node, which typically can be found laterally or in the midline. The typical symptom is a diffuse mass in the neck, which may be managed medically or may need surgical excision if the mass is large enough to affect the patient’s life or cause respiratory problems. Patients typically present with a pul-satile neck mass. The neck should be examined for thyromegaly.
A 13-year-old girl presents to a medical office for the evaluation of a lump on the front of her neck. The patient denies pain, but states that the mass bothers her because “it moves when I swallow”. The physical examination reveals a midline neck mass that is above the hyoid bone but below the level of the mandible. The mass is minimally mobile and feels fluctuant without erythema. The patient is afebrile and all vital signs are stable. A complete blood count and thyroid function tests are performed and are within normal limits. What is the most likely cause of this patient’s presentation?
Persistent thyroid tissue at the tongue base
Deletion of the 22q11 gene
Cyst formation in a persistent thyroglossal duct
Walking becomes increasingly awkward and tentative; the patient has a tendency to totter and fall repeatedly, but has no ataxia of gait or of the limbs and does not manifest a She was diag-nosed with Crohn’s disease 2 years ago, and it involves her terminal ileum and proximal colon, as confirmed by colonoscopy and small bowel radiography. Early prominent gait disturbance with only mild memory loss suggests vascular dementia or, rarely, NPH (see below). The patient was tentatively diagnosed with Alzheimer disease (AD).
A 35-year-old woman with a history of Crohn disease presents for a follow-up appointment. She says that lately, she has started to notice difficulty walking. She says that some of her friends have joked that she appears to be walking as if she was drunk. Past medical history is significant for Crohn disease diagnosed 2 years ago, managed with natalizumab for the past year because her intestinal symptoms have become severe and unresponsive to other therapies. On physical examination, there is gait and limb ataxia present. Strength is 4/5 in the right upper limb. A T1/T2 MRI of the brain is ordered and is shown. Which of the following is the most likely diagnosis?
Sporadic Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease (sCJD)
Variant Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease (vCJD)
Subacute sclerosing panencephalitis (SSPE)
Progressive multifocal encephalopathy (PML)
Both light and heavy bleeding were associated with subsequent preterm labor, placental abruption, and pregnancy loss before 24 weeks. In a study of 347 patients with a first-trimester pregnancy documented by ultrasonography, the overall rate of pregnancy loss was 6.1% to 4.2% in patients without bleeding and 12.4% in patients with bleeding (4). Second, the patient may be noted to have little bleeding from the vagina but deteriorating vital signs manifested by low blood pressure and rapid pulse, falling hematocrit level, and flank or abdominal pain. Bleeding from a previa usu in a woman who has had an uneventful prenatal course.
A 23-year-old G1 at 10 weeks gestation based on her last menstrual period is brought to the emergency department by her husband due to sudden vaginal bleeding. She says that she has mild lower abdominal cramps and is feeling dizzy and weak. Her blood pressure is 100/60 mm Hg, the pulse is 100/min, and the respiration rate is 15/min. She says that she has had light spotting over the last 3 days, but today the bleeding increased markedly and she also noticed the passage of clots. She says that she has changed three pads since the morning. She has also noticed that the nausea she was experiencing over the past few days has subsided. The physician examines her and notes that the cervical os is open and blood is pooling in the vagina. Products of conception can be visualized in the os. The patient is prepared for a suction curettage. Which of the following is the most likely cause for the pregnancy loss?
Antiphospholipid syndrome
Chromosomal abnormalities
A 5-month-old boy is brought to his physician because of vomiting, night sweats, and tremors. A newborn boy with respiratory distress, lethargy, and hypernatremia. Often neonates will have an abdominal mass at presentation.Diagnosis. If the condition began before 3 weeks’ corrected age, the crying has a diurnal pattern consistent with colic (afternoon and evening clustering), the infant is otherwise developing and thriving, and no organic cause is found, a diagnosis of colic is indicated.
An 8-month-old boy is brought to a medical office by his mother. The mother states that the boy has been very fussy and has not been feeding recently. The mother thinks the baby has been gaining weight despite not feeding well. The boy was delivered vaginally at 39 weeks gestation without complications. On physical examination, the boy is noted to be crying in his mother’s arms. There is no evidence of cyanosis, and the cardiac examination is within normal limits. The crying intensifies when the abdomen is palpated. The abdomen is distended with tympany in the left lower quadrant. You suspect a condition caused by the failure of specialized cells to migrate. What is the most likely diagnosis?
Patients present with myalgias, muscle weakness, and atrophy affecting the thigh and calf muscles. Usually, there is sciatica and chronic pain in the back and lower extremities, but sensorimotor and reflex changes in the legs are variable. Some of the commonest conditions that affect the legs are peripheral neuropathy (particularly associated with diabetes mellitus), lumbar nerve root lesions (associated with pathology of the intervertebral discs), fibular nerve palsy, and spastic paraparesis. In cases of total leg and thigh weakness, one first considers a spinal cord disease.
A 60-year-old man seeks evaluation at a medical office due to leg pain while walking. He says the pain starts in his buttocks and extends to his thighs and down to his calves. Previously, the pain resolved with rest, but the pain now persists in his feet, even during rest. His past medical history is significant for diabetes mellitus, hypertension, and cigarette smoking. The vital signs are within normal limits. The physical examination shows an atrophied leg with bilateral loss of hair. Which of the following is the most likely cause of this patient’s condition?
Decreased permeability of endothelium
Narrowing and calcification of vessels

A 52-year-old man presents to the emergency department with chest pain radiating to his left jaw and arm. He states that he had experienced similar symptoms when playing basketball. The medical history is significant for diabetes mellitus, hypertension, and GERD, for which he takes metformin, hydrochlorothiazide, and pantoprazole, respectively. The blood pressure is 150/90 mm Hg, the pulse is 100/min, and the respirations are 15/min. The ECG reveals ST elevation in leads V3-V6. He is hospitalized for an acute MI and started on treatment. The next day he complains of dizziness and blurred vision. Repeat vital signs were as follows: blood pressure 90/60 mm Hg, pulse 72/min, and respirations 12/min. The laboratory results were as follows: Serum chemistry Sodium 143 mEq/L Potassium 4.1 mEq/L Chloride 98 mEq/L Bicarbonate 22 mEq/L Blood urea nitrogen 26 mg/dL Creatinine 2.3 mg/dL Glucose 120 mg/dL Which of the following drugs is responsible for this patient’s lab abnormalities?
What precautions could have been taken to avoid this hospitalization? Symptomatic treatment may require temperature control with cooling blankets and seizure control with diazepam. In mild cases, rewarm the patient with blankets or warm water. If fever is present, cooling by physical measures should be tried.
A 28-year-old woman is brought to the hospital by her boyfriend. She has had three days of fever and headache followed by one day of worsening confusion and hallucinations. She also becomes agitated when offered water. Her temperature is 101°F (38.3°C). Two months prior to presentation, the couple was camping and encountered bats in their cabin. In addition to an injection shortly after exposure, what would have been the most effective treatment for this patient?
A killed vaccine within ten days of exposure
Oseltamivir within one week of exposure
Venom antiserum within hours of exposure
Doxycycline for one month after exposure
His heart fail-ure must be treated first, followed by careful control of the hypertension. Approach to the Patient with Possible Cardiovascular Disease should discuss with the patient the importance of smoking cessa tion, achieving optimal weight, daily exercise, blood-pressure control, INVASIVE VERSUS CONSERVATIVE STRATEGY following an appropriate diet, control of hyperglycemia (in diabetic Multiple clinical trials have demonstrated the benefit of an early patients), and lipid management as recommended for patients with invasive strategy in high-risk patients (i.e., patients with multiple chronic stable angina (Chap.

A population-based study. A population-based study. The Harvard Medical Practice Study, one of the largest studies to address this issue, was performed with hospitalized patients in New York. An epidemiologic, population-based study.
A recent study attempted to analyze whether increased "patient satisfaction" driven healthcare resulted in increased hospitalization. In this hospital, several of the wards adopted new aspects of "patient satisfaction" driven healthcare, whereas the remainder of the hospital continued to use existing protocols. Baseline population characteristics and demographics were collected at the start of the study. At the end of the following year, hospital use was assessed and compared between the two groups. Which of the following best describes this type of study?
Retrospective case-control
Even a screening test with 98% specificity and 50% sensitivity would have a positive predictive value of only about 1%. The Accuracy of Screening A screening test’s accuracy or ability to discriminate disease is described by four indices: sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value, and negative predictive value (Table 100-2). Although the diagnostic accuracy of this imaging method is high (sensitivity, 90–94%; specificity, 95–97%; negative predictive value, 93–99%), its prognostic utility has not been defined. The sensitivity and specificity for the diagnosis are about 95% each.
A new screening test utilizing a telemedicine approach to diagnosing diabetic retinopathy has been implemented in a diabetes clinic. An ophthalmologist’s exam was also performed on all patients as the gold standard for diagnosis. In a pilot study of 500 patients, the screening test detected the presence of diabetic retinopathy in 250 patients. Ophthalmologist exam confirmed a diagnosis of diabetic retinopathy in 200 patients who tested positive in the screening test, as well as 10 patients who tested negative in the screening test. What is the sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value, and negative predictive value of the screening test?

In normal individuals, the amplitude of the evoked muscle action potentials does not change at these rates of stimulation. FIGURE 27–6 Muscle contraction responses to different patterns of nerve stimulation used in monitoring skeletal muscle relaxation. Length-tension analysis of cardiac muscle, for example, shows a dramatic increase in passive tension as cardiac muscle is stretched beyond its resting length. Exercising the muscle for 10 s before stimulation will cause a posttetanic facilitation in patients with the Lambert-Eaton syndrome (200-fold increases are not uncommon).
A healthy 22-year-old male participates in a research study you are leading to compare the properties of skeletal and cardiac muscle. You conduct a 3-phased experiment with the participant. In the first phase, you get him to lift up a 2.3 kg (5 lb) weight off a table with his left hand. In the second phase, you get him to do 20 burpees, taking his heart rate to 150/min. In the third phase, you electrically stimulate his gastrocnemius with a frequency of 50 Hz. You are interested in the tension and electrical activity of specific muscles as follows: Biceps in phase 1, cardiac muscle in phase 2, and gastrocnemius in phase 3. What would you expect to be happening in the phases and the respective muscles of interest?
Recruitment of small motor units at the start of experiments 1 and 2
Recruitment of large motor units followed by small motor units in experiment 1
Fused tetanic contraction at the end of all three experiments
Increase of tension in all phases
This history may give a significant clue to the type of injury and the likely findings on clinical examination, for example, if the patient was kicked around the medial aspect of the knee, a valgus deformity injury to the tibial collateral ligament might be suspected. The knee will also be assessed for: joint line tenderness, patellofemoral movement and instability, presence of an effusion, muscle injury, and popliteal fossa masses. The patient developed significant deformity of the knee over time, including a large effusion in the lateral aspect. B. Knee joint showing a torn tibial collateral ligament.
A 20-year-old male comes into your office two days after falling during a pick up basketball game. The patient states that the lateral aspect of his knee collided with another player's knee. On exam, the patient's right knee appears the same size as his left knee without any swelling or effusion. The patient has intact sensation and strength in both lower extremities. The patient's right knee has no laxity upon varus stress test, but is more lax upon valgus stress test when compared to his left knee. Lachman's test and posterior drawer test both have firm endpoints without laxity. Which of the following structures has this patient injured?
Posterior cruciate ligament
Anterior cruciate ligament

The patient first notices mild general weakness and paresthesias consisting of tingling, “pins and needles” feelings, or other vaguely described sensations. Patients usually present with numbness and paresthesias in the distal extremities that are often asymmetric. In addition, clinical signs (such as pain, pins-and-needles sensations, paresthesia, and fascicular muscle twitching) resulting from any disorder affecting these spinal nerves (e.g., herniated intervertebral disc in the lumbar region) appear in the lower limb. The patient, after being asleep for a few hours, is awakened by numbness or a tingling, prickling, “pins-and-needles” feeling in the fingers, and hands.
An 18-year-old man comes to the clinic with his mom for “pins and needles” of both of his arms. He denies any past medical history besides a recent anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) tear that was repaired 1 week ago. The patient reports that the paresthesias are mostly located along the posterior forearms, left more than the right. What physical examination finding would you expect from this patient?
Loss of forearm flexion and supination
In an epileptic patient known to be taking seizure medications chronically but in whom the serum level of drug is unknown, it is probably best to administer the full-recommended dose of phenytoin. The patient had been taking phenytoin (his only medication) since the onset of the seizure disorder. Phenytoin is contraindicated in toxicologic seizures: Animal and human data demonstrate worse outcomes after phenytoin loading, especially Errors in dosing by health care providers may require educational efforts.
A 9-year-old girl is resuscitated after the administration of an erroneous dose of intravenous phenytoin for recurrent seizures. This incident is reported to the authorities. A thorough investigation reveals various causative factors leading to the event. One important finding is a verbal misunderstanding of the dose of phenytoin between the ordering senior resident and the receiving first-year resident during the handover of the patient. To minimize the risk of this particular error in the future, the most appropriate management is to implement which of the following?
Closed-loop communication
Patients should avoid intense athletic competition and training. Unless foul play is suspected, the health care team need not contact the medical examiner either. Approach to the Patient with Possible Cardiovascular Disease Obviously those found to have serious heart disease should give up competitive sports, but the majority has no demonstrable cardiac abnormality.
You are the team physician for an NBA basketball team. On the morning of an important playoff game, an EKG of a star player, Mr. P, shows findings suspicious for hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM). Mr. P is an otherwise healthy, fit, professional athlete. The playoff game that night is the most important of Mr. P's career. When you inform the coach that you are thinking of restricting Mr. P's participation, he threatens to fire you. Later that day you receive a phone call from the owner of the team threatening a lawsuit should you restrict Mr. P's ability to play. Mr. P states that he will be playing in the game "if it's the last thing I do." Which of the following is the most appropriate next step?
Consult with a psychiatrist to have Mr. P committed
Call the police and have Mr. P arrested
Allow Mr. P to play against medical advice

The newborn (particularly a preterm infant) responds paradoxically to hypoxia with apnea rather than tachypnea as occurs in adults. Transient tachypnea of the newborn may be caused by retained lung fluid or slow resorption of lung fluid. Speciically, the rates of transient tachypnea of the newborn were 6.7 and 9.9 percent in those given betamethasone and placebo, respectively. Transient tachypnea of the newborn usually is noted in larger premature infants and in term infants born by precipitous delivery or cesarean section without prior labor.
Several hours after vaginal delivery, a male newborn delivered at full-term develops tachycardia and tachypnea. His blood pressure is within normal limits.

Supportive treatment is recommended for uncomplicated influenza, and early antiviral treatment is efective Gamieson, 2011; Oboho, 2016). For uncomplicated influenza in individuals at low risk of complications, symptom-based rather than antiviral therapy may be considered. Fevers also should be evaluated and controlled with antipyretics, as well as source-directed therapy when possible. Persistent fever should be managed with antibiotics.
A 53-year-old woman comes to the physician in February because of a 1-day history of fever, chills, headache, and dry cough. She also reports malaise and generalized muscle aches. She works as a teacher at a local high school, where there was recently an outbreak of influenza. She has a history of intermittent asthma, for which she takes albuterol as needed. She declined the influenza vaccine offered in the fall because her sister told her that a friend developed a flulike illness after receiving the vaccine. She is worried about possibly becoming ill and cannot afford to miss work. Her temperature is 37.9°C (100.3°F), heart rate is 58/min, and her respirations are 12/min. Physical examination is unremarkable. Her hemoglobin concentration is 14.5 g/dL, leukocyte count is 9,400/mm3, and platelet count is 280,000/mm3. In addition to analgesia, which of the following is the most appropriate next step in management?

Mutations of the red and green pigments cause congenital X-linked color blindness in 8% of males. Each son born to a female carrier of an X-linked recessive trait has a 50% chance of inheriting the trait, but none of this woman’s daughters would be affected (each daughter has a 50% chance of being a carrier). When a woman carries a gene causing an X-linked recessive condition, each of her sons has a 50-percent risk of being afected, and each daughter has a 50-percent chance of being a carrier. In this situation, there is a 25% chance that the offspring will have a normal genotype, a 50% probability of a heterozygous state, and a 25% risk of homozygosity for the recessive alleles (Figs.
Red-green color blindness, an X-linked recessive disorder, has an incidence of 1/200 in males in a certain population. What is the probability of a phenotypically normal male and female having a child with red-green color blindness?

A 45-year-old man is transferred to the intensive care unit from the emergency department for acute respiratory failure. He was rushed to the hospital after developing progressive respiratory distress over the last 24 hours. His medical history is significant for long-standing severe persistent asthma, hypertension, and several bouts of community and hospital-acquired pneumonia. His medications include amlodipine, lisinopril, inhaled fluticasone, salmeterol, and oral prednisone. He is a lifelong non-smoker and drinks alcohol occasionally on the weekends. He works as a sales executive and went to Hawaii a month ago. In the emergency department, he was started on broad-spectrum antibiotics and bronchodilators. His respiratory failure progressively worsens, and on day 2 of admission, he requires mechanical ventilator support. Chest X-ray shows multiple nodules bilaterally in the lower lobes. Flexible bronchoscopy is performed and the bronchoalveolar lavage sample from the medial segment of the right lower lobe shows neutrophils, and the fungal preparation shows Aspergillus fumigatus. A video-assisted thoracoscopy is performed and biopsy from the right lower lobe is taken which shows plugging of the terminal bronchioles with mucus, inflammatory cells, and fungal vascular invasion. Which of the following is the most likely mechanism responsible for the biopsy findings?
Defects in the immune response
Aspergillus fumigatus suppresses the production of IgA
Aspergillus fumigatus suppresses the production of IgM
Suppression of the innate immune system by Aspergillus fumigatus
For patients with chronic epigastric pain, the possibilities of inflammatory bowel disease, anatomic abnormalitysuch as malrotation, pancreatitis, and biliary disease should beruled out by appropriate testing when suspected (see Chapter126 and Table 128-3 for recommended studies). Values greater than three times the upper limit of normal in combination with epigastric pain strongly suggest the diagnosis if gut perforation or infarction is excluded. No evidence of an inflammatory, anatomic, metabolic, or neoplastic process considered that explains the subject’s symptoms. No evidence of an inflammatory, anatomic, metabolic, or neoplastic process that explains the subject’s symptoms.
A 70-year-old man comes to the physician because of a 4-month history of epigastric pain, nausea, and weakness. He has smoked one pack of cigarettes daily for 50 years and drinks one alcoholic beverage daily. He appears emaciated. He is 175 cm (5 ft 9 in) tall and weighs 47 kg (103 lb); BMI is 15 kg/m2. He is diagnosed with gastric cancer. Which of the following cytokines is the most likely direct cause of this patient’s examination findings?
The patient had been very healthy until 2 months previously when he developed intermittent leg weakness. Hypertension or the presence of edema suggests lupus renal disease. Over the following weeks, the patient began to develop muscular weakness, predominantly footdrop. The foot should also be carefully examined for pallor on elevation and rubor on dependency, as these findings are indicative of chronic ischemia.
A 40-year-old woman comes to the physician because of a 1-week history of fatigue, dark urine, and a feeling of heaviness in her legs. Two weeks ago, she returned from a vacation to Brazil, where she spent most of her days exploring the city of Rio de Janeiro on foot. She also gained 3 kg (7 lb) during her vacation. She has systemic lupus erythematosus. Her only medication is hydroxychloroquine. Her temperature is 37.5°C (99.5°F), pulse is 78/min, and blood pressure is 162/98 mm Hg.

A 57-year-old post-menopausal woman comes to the physician because of intermittent, bloody post-coital vaginal discharge for the past month. She does not have pain with intercourse. Eleven years ago, she had LSIL on a routine Pap smear and testing for high-risk HPV strains was positive. Colposcopy showed CIN 1. She has not returned for follow-up Pap smears since then. She is sexually active with her husband only, and they do not use condoms. She has smoked half a pack of cigarettes per day for the past 25 years and does not drink alcohol. On speculum exam, a 1.4 cm, erythematous exophytic mass with ulceration is noted on the posterior wall of the upper third of the vagina. Which of the following is the most probable histopathology of this mass?
The patient’s urine was reddish orange. Urine is dark with hemoglobinuria, and there is ↑ excretion of urinary and fecal urobilinogen. When no specific diagnosis is forthcoming, the following investigations, where applicable, are suggested: complete blood count, liver function tests, thick/thin blood films or rapid diagnostic testing for malaria (repeated several times if necessary), urinalysis, urine and blood cultures (repeated once), chest x-ray, and collection of an acute-phase serum sample to be held for subsequent examination along with a paired convalescent-phase serum sample. After the clearance of the parasites, this intraphagocytic malarial pigment is often evident for several days in the peripheral blood films or for longer in bone marrow aspirates or smears of fluid expressed after intradermal puncture.
Three days after starting a new drug for malaria prophylaxis, a 19-year-old college student comes to the physician because of dark-colored urine and fatigue. He has not had any fever, dysuria, or abdominal pain. He has no history of serious illness. Physical examination shows scleral icterus.

Crit Care Clin 31(1)67,t2015 Maghsoudi H, Samnia R, Garadaghi A, et aI: Burns in pregnancy. Burning with urination from noninfectious causes may be difficult to distinguish from a urinary tract infection, although some women can distinguish pain when the urine hits the vulvar area (an external dysuria) from burning pain (often suprapubic in location) during urination. Management of acute urinary reten-tion.
A 23-year-old pregnant woman at 22 weeks gestation presents with burning upon urination. She states it started 1 day ago and has been worsening despite drinking more water and taking cranberry extract. She otherwise feels well and is followed by a doctor for her pregnancy. Her temperature is 97.7°F (36.5°C), blood pressure is 122/77 mmHg, pulse is 80/min, respirations are 19/min, and oxygen saturation is 98% on room air. Physical exam is notable for an absence of costovertebral angle tenderness and a gravid uterus. Which of the following is the best treatment for this patient?
Death of a healthy infant (1 month to 1 year old) without obvious cause Once the child became comatose, death was almost inevitable. lthough this is less clear, some recommend that fetal death not attributable to other causes (Dizon-Townson, 1998; Lockshin, 1995). The most common cause of death for infants 1 month to 1 year of age is motor vehicle crashes.
A 3-month-old baby died suddenly at night while asleep. His mother noticed that he had died only after she awoke in the morning. No cause of death was determined based on the autopsy. Which of the following precautions could have prevented the death of the baby?
Placing the infant in a supine position on a firm mattress while sleeping
Keeping the infant covered and maintaining a high room temperature
Application of a device to maintain the sleeping position
Avoiding pacifier use during sleep
In neonates, difficulty in feeding is the usual presentation. The infant is fretful, feeds poorly, and may vomit frequently. Infants often present with constipation and poor feeding. With the most-severe neonatal type, the infant appears normal at birth, but toward the end of the first week, poor feeding, intermittent hypertonicity, opisthotonos, and respiratory irregularities appear.
A mother brings her 3-week-old infant to the pediatrician's office because she is concerned about his feeding habits. He was born without complications and has not had any medical problems up until this time. However, for the past 4 days, he has been fussy, is regurgitating all of his feeds, and his vomit is yellow in color. On physical exam, the child's abdomen is minimally distended but no other abnormalities are appreciated. Which of the following embryologic errors could account for this presentation?
Abnormal migration of ventral pancreatic bud
Complete failure of proximal duodenum to recanalize
Abnormal hypertrophy of the pylorus
Failure of lateral body folds to move ventrally and fuse in the midline
Which one of the following etiologies most likely explains this patient’s pulmonary symptoms? Suspect pulmonary embolism in a patient with rapid onset of hypoxia, hypercapnia, tachycardia, and an ↑ alveolar-arterial oxygen gradient without another obvious explanation. Tachypnea and hypoxemia point toward a pulmonary cause. Pulmonary dysfunction often results in hypoxemia.
A pulmonary autopsy specimen from a 58-year-old woman who died of acute hypoxic respiratory failure was examined. She had recently undergone surgery for a fractured femur 3 months ago. Initial hospital course was uncomplicated, and she was discharged to a rehab facility in good health. Shortly after discharge home from rehab, she developed sudden shortness of breath and had cardiac arrest. Resuscitation was unsuccessful. On histological examination of lung tissue, fibrous connective tissue around the lumen of the pulmonary artery is observed. Which of the following is the most likely pathogenesis for the present findings?
Pulmonary passive congestion
Age and the prevalence of bleeding disorders in women with menorrhagia. Predictors of menorrhagia include bleeding resulting in iron-deficiency anemia or a need for blood transfusion, passage of clots >1 inch in diameter, and changing a pad or tampon more than hourly. Therefore, other possible etiologies, including coagulopathies such as von Willebrand’s disease, should be considered in a woman with heavy menstrual bleeding (46). A history of easy bruising, petechiae, bleeding from mucous membranes, or prolonged bleeding from minor wounds may signify an underlying abnormality of platelet function.
A 20-year-old woman presents with menorrhagia for the past several years. She says that her menses “have always been heavy”, and she has experienced easy bruising for as long as she can remember. Family history is significant for her mother, who had similar problems with bruising easily.

Chronic sinusitis (4–12 weeks): Adjuvant therapy with intranasal corticosteroids, decongestants, and antihistamines may be useful in combating the allergic/infammatory component of the disease. Patients with perennial rhinitis commonly develop the problem in adult life, and manifest nasal congestion and a postnasal discharge, often associated with thickening of the sinus membranes demonstrated by radiography. Topical decongestants should be used for no longer than 3 days because prolonged use may lead to rebound vasodilation and worsening of symptoms. Patients experience constant nasal congestion and sinus pressure, with intermittent periods of greater severity, which may persist for years.
A 35-year-old male presents to his primary care physician with complaints of seasonal allergies. He has been using intranasal vasoconstrictors several times per day for several weeks. What is a likely sequela of the chronic use of topical nasal decongestants?
Persistent nasal crusting
Patients usually do not complain of diplopia, in contrast to patients having conditions with a more acute onset of ocular muscle weakness (e.g., myasthenia gravis). There is intermittent diplopia owing to paroxysmal contraction of one or more ocular muscles, usually after their activation. These ocular problems are potentially sight-threatening and warrant ophthalmologic evaluation. A history of prior trauma, eye surgery, contact lens use, diplopia, systemic symptoms (e.g., dysphagia or peripheral muscle weakness), or a family history of ptosis should be sought.

A liver biopsy is performed and a photomicrograph after periodic acid-Schiff-staining is shown. Which of the following is the most likely additional finding in this patient?
Bullous changes of the lung bases on chest CT
Beading of intra- and extrahepatic bile ducts on ERCP
Myocardial iron deposition on cardiovascular MRI
Dark corneal ring on slit-lamp examination
Patients developing neurologic symptoms in the lower extremities, severe localized back pain, or problems with bowel and bladder control may need emergency MRI and local radiation therapy and glucocorticoids if cord compression is identified. Any patient with cancer who has severe back pain should undergo an MRI. New back pain in patients with cancer should be explored aggressively on an emergent basis; to wait for neurologic symptoms is a potentially catastrophic error. The patient may occasionally complain of back pain only.
A 69-year-old male presents to the emergency room with back pain. He has a history of personality disorder and metastatic prostate cancer and was not a candidate for surgical resection. He began chemotherapy but discontinued due to unremitting nausea. He denies any bowel or bladder incontinence. He has never had pain like this before and is demanding morphine. The nurse administers IV morphine and he feels more comfortable. Vital signs are stable. On physical examination you note tenderness to palpation along the lower spine, weakness in the bilateral lower extremities, left greater than right. Neurological examination is also notable for hyporeflexia in the knee and ankle jerks bilaterally. You conduct a rectal examination, which reveals saddle anesthesia. Regarding this patient, what is the most likely diagnosis and the appropriate next step in management?
The most likely diagnosis is cauda equina syndrome and steroids should be started prior to MRI
The most likely diagnosis is cauda equina syndrome and steroids should be started after to MRI
The most likely diagnosis is cauda equina syndrome and the patient should be rushed to radiation
The most likely diagnosis is conus medullaris syndrome and steroids should be started prior to MRI
In all likelihood, these alterations do not stem from a primary dysfunction of hypothalamic nuclei, but rather are a result of the extreme weight loss that is the primary feature of the disease. Channelrhodopsins are photosensitive ion channels that open in response to light.

An investigator is studying the function of the lateral nucleus of the hypothalamus in an experimental animal. Using a viral vector, the genes encoding chloride-conducting channelrhodopsins are injected into this nucleus. Photostimulation of the channels causes complete inhibition of action potential generation. Persistent photostimulation is most likely to result in which of the following abnormalities in these animals?
A 55-year-old man presents with increasing fatigue, 15-pound weight loss, and a microcytic anemia. Fever of unknown origin, weight loss, Lymphoreticular malignancy Hodgkin disease, non-Hodgkin lymphoma night sweats Most patients present with fatigue and lymphadenopathy and are found to have generalized disease involving the bone marrow, spleen, liver, and (often) the gastrointestinal tract. What caused the hyperkalemia and metabolic acidosis in this patient?
A 52-year-old woman comes to the physician because of a 6-month history of generalized fatigue, low-grade fever, and a 10-kg (22-lb) weight loss. Physical examination shows generalized pallor and splenomegaly. Her hemoglobin concentration is 7.5 g/dL and leukocyte count is 41,800/mm3. Leukocyte alkaline phosphatase activity is low. Peripheral blood smear shows basophilia with myelocytes and metamyelocytes. Bone marrow biopsy shows cellular hyperplasia with proliferation of immature granulocytic cells. Which of the following mechanisms is most likely responsible for this patient's condition?
Cytokine-independent activation of the JAK-STAT pathway
Loss of function of the APC gene
Altered expression of the retinoic acid receptor gene
Unregulated expression of the ABL1 gene
Does this patient have acute cholecystitis? She is in no acute distress, and there are no other significant physical findings; an electrocardiogram is normal except for slight left ventricular hypertrophy. In this setting, it is reasonable to proceed to right heart catheterization for definitive diagnosis. The patient is toxic and has high fever, tachycardia, and marked hypovo-lemia, which if uncorrected, progresses to cardiovascular col-lapse.
A 42-year-old woman is in the hospital recovering from a cholecystectomy performed 3 days ago that was complicated by cholangitis. She is being treated with IV piperacillin-tazobactam. She calls the nurse to her room because she says that her heart is racing. She also demands that someone come in to clean the pile of garbage off of the floor because it is attracting flies. Her pulse is 112/min, respiratory rate is 20/min, temperature is 38.0°C (100.4°F), and blood pressure is 150/90 mm Hg. On physical examination, the patient appears sweaty, distressed, and unable to remain still. She is oriented to person, but not place or time. Palpation of the abdomen shows no tenderness, rebound, or guarding. Which of the following is the most likely diagnosis in this patient?
E. Treatment involves corticosteroids, UV light with psoralen, or immune-modulating therapy. Treatment options for early, rapidly progressive disease include phototherapy (UVA1 or PUVA) or methotrexate (15–20 mg/week) alone or in combination with daily glucocorticoids. The immediate treatment almost invariably includes transfusion of red cells. Mild disease is treated topically with ointments containing corticosteroids or other immunomodulatory agents, whereas more severe disease is treated with phototherapy (which has immunosuppressive effects) or systemic therapy with immunosuppressive agents such as methotrexate or TNF antagonists.
A 48-year-old woman comes to the emergency department because of a photosensitive blistering rash on her hands, forearms, and face for 3 weeks. The lesions are not itchy. She has also noticed that her urine has been dark brown in color recently. Twenty years ago, she was successfully treated for Coats disease of the retina via retinal sclerotherapy. She is currently on hormonal replacement therapy for perimenopausal symptoms. Her aunt and sister have a history of a similar skin lesions. Examination shows multiple fluid-filled blisters and oozing erosions on the forearms, dorsal side of both hands, and forehead. There is hyperpigmented scarring and patches of bald skin along the sides of the blisters. Laboratory studies show a normal serum ferritin concentration. Which of the following is the most appropriate next step in management to induce remission in this patient?
Pursue liver transplantation
Begin oral thalidomide therapy
Begin oral hydroxychloroquine therapy
Presents with painless hematuria, flank pain, abdominal mass. Colicky flank pain radiating to the groin suggests acute ureteric obstruction. Characterized by abdominal (flank) pain and gross hematuria (from rupture of thin-walled renal varicosities). B. Presents with gross hematuria and flank pain
A 53-year-old man comes to the emergency department because of severe right-sided flank pain for 3 hours. The pain is colicky, radiates towards his right groin, and he describes it as 8/10 in intensity. He has vomited once. He has no history of similar episodes in the past. Last year, he was treated with naproxen for swelling and pain of his right toe. He has a history of hypertension. He drinks one to two beers on the weekends. Current medications include amlodipine. He appears uncomfortable. His temperature is 37.1°C (99.3°F), pulse is 101/min, and blood pressure is 130/90 mm Hg. Examination shows a soft, nontender abdomen and right costovertebral angle tenderness. An upright x-ray of the abdomen shows no abnormalities. A CT scan of the abdomen and pelvis shows a 7-mm stone in the proximal ureter and grade I hydronephrosis on the right. Which of the following is most likely to be seen on urinalysis?
Largely positive urinary protein
Affected individuals typically present with breast development (usually only to Tanner stage 3) out of proportion with the amount of pubic and axillary hair present (Fig. At that point, the finding of the progressive developmentof pubic and axillary hair in the presence of testes that remaininfantile in volume should alert the clinician to the disorder. After ruling out androgen-secreting tumors and congenital adrenal hyperplasia, treatment may be aimed at decreasing coarse hair growth. Scores above 8 suggest excess androgen-mediated hair growth, a finding that should be assessed further by means of hormonal evaluation (see below).
A 5-year-old girl is brought to the clinic by her mother for excessive hair growth. Her mother reports that for the past 2 months she has noticed hair at the axillary and pubic areas. She denies any family history of precocious puberty and reports that her daughter has been relatively healthy with an uncomplicated birth history. She denies any recent illnesses, weight change, fever, vaginal bleeding, pain, or medication use. Physical examination demonstrates Tanner stage 4 development. A pelvic ultrasound shows an ovarian mass. Laboratory studies demonstrates an elevated level of estrogen. What is the most likely diagnosis?
Idiopathic precocious puberty
A child who is repeatedly kept home from school becauseof pain receives reinforcement in the form of being excusedfrom responsibilities and withdraws from full social functioning. B. Clinically significant problematic behavioral changes (e.g., belligerence, assaultive- ness, impulsiveness. In severely worried children, defensive aggression may be used to prevent attendance. A 19-year-old college sophomore began to show paranoid traits.
A 16-year-old boy is brought to the physician by his mother because she is worried about his behavior. Yesterday, he was expelled from school for repeatedly skipping classes. Over the past 2 months, he was suspended 3 times for bullying and aggressive behavior towards his peers and teachers. Once, his neighbor found him smoking cigarettes in his backyard. In the past, he consistently maintained an A grade average and had been a regular attendee of youth group events at their local church. The mother first noticed this change in behavior 3 months ago, around the time at which his father moved out after discovering his wife was having an affair. Which of the following defense mechanisms best describes the change in this patient's behavior?
Inquiry should be made into the nature of the double vision (purely side-by-side versus partial vertical displacement of images), mode of onset, duration, intermittency, diurnal variation, and associated neurologic or systemic symptoms. A 33-year-old fit and well woman came to the emergency department complaining of double vision and pain behind her right eye. Subsequent eye examinations depend on severity of retinopathy and level of diabetes control. Because many individuals with type 2 DM have had asymptomatic diabetes for several years before diagnosis, the American Diabetes Association (ADA) recommends the following ophthalmologic examination schedule: (1) individuals with type 1 DM should have an initial eye examination within 5 years of diagnosis, (2) individuals with type 2 DM should have an initial eye examination at the time of diabetes diagnosis, (3) women with DM who are pregnant or contemplating pregnancy should have an eye examination prior to conception and during the first trimester, and (4) if eye exam is normal, repeat examination in 2–3 years is appropriate.
A 63-year-old woman presents to her primary-care doctor for a 2-month history of vision changes, specifically citing the gradual onset of double vision. Her double vision is present all the time and does not get better or worse throughout the day. She has also noticed that she has a hard time keeping her right eye open, and her right eyelid looks 'droopy' in the mirror. Physical exam findings during primary gaze are shown in the photo. Her right pupil is 6 mm and poorly reactive to light. The rest of her neurologic exam is unremarkable. Laboratory studies show an Hb A1c of 5.0%. Which of the following is the next best test for this patient?
MR angiography of the head
Many polypeptides are covalently modified, either while they are still attached to the ribosome (cotranslational) or after their synthesis has been completed (posttranslational). Many polypeptide chains are covalently modified during or after translation. Elongation of the polypeptide involves the addition of amino acids to the carboxyl end of the growing chain. As polypeptide chains are synthesized by the membrane-bound polysomes, the protein is injected into the lumen of the rER cisterna, where it is further modified post-translationally by enzymes.
An investigator is studying the modification of newly formed polypeptides in plated eukaryotic cells. After the polypeptides are released from the ribosome, a chemically-tagged protein attaches covalently to lysine residues on the polypeptide chain, forming a modified polypeptide. When a barrel-shaped complex is added to the cytoplasm, the modified polypeptide lyses, resulting in individual amino acids and the chemically-tagged proteins. Which of the following post-translational modifications has most likely occurred?
The pathology of the optic nerve in amblyopia in the alcoholic has been described by Victor and colleagues (1960). Adams et al observed a rapidly evolving quadriplegia and pseudobulbar palsy in a young alcoholic man who had entered the hospital 10 days earlier with symptoms of alcohol withdrawal. chronic alcohol consumption; presents with confabulation, personality changes, memory loss (permanent). The most common pathologic change in most reports has been characteristic of Alzheimer disease.
A 38-year-old man presents to his physician with double vision persisting for a week. When he enters the exam room, the physician notes that the patient has a broad-based gait. The man’s wife informs the doctor that he has been an alcoholic for the last 5 years and his consumption of alcohol has increased significantly over the past few months. She also reports that he has become indifferent to his family members over time and is frequently agitated. She also says that his memory has been affected significantly, and when asked about a particular detail, he often recollects it incorrectly, though he insists that his version is the true one. On physical examination, his vital signs are stable, but when the doctor asks him where he is, he seems to be confused. His neurological examination also shows nystagmus. Which of the following options describes the earliest change in the pathophysiology of the central nervous system in this man?
Decreased α-ketoglutarate dehydrogenase activity in astrocytes
Increased extracellular concentration of glutamate
Increased astrocyte lactate
Breakdown of the blood-brain barrier
Antiplatelet agents, such as aspirin, should be given to patients with transient ischemic attacks, and if these are not effective, warfarin should be considered. One currently favored approach, based in part on the WARSS trial, is to simply administer aspirin in all cases of acute stroke. Currently, most stroke neu-rologists prescribe both aspirin and clopidogrel for secondary 1Brunicardi_Ch23_p0897-p0980.indd 91027/02/19 4:14 PM 911ARTERIAL DISEASECHAPTER 23stroke prevention in patients who have experienced a TIA or stroke.19 In patients with symptomatic carotid stenosis, the degree of stenosis appears to be the most important predic-tor in determining risk for an ipsilateral stroke. Johnston SC, Easton JD, Farrant M, et al: Clopidogrel and aspirin in acute ischemic stroke and high-risk TIA.
A 69-year-old man is brought by his son to the emergency department with weakness in his right arm and leg. The man insists that he is fine and blames his son for "creating panic". Four hours ago the patient was having tea with his wife when he suddenly dropped his teacup. He has had difficulty moving his right arm since then and cannot walk because his right leg feels stuck. He has a history of hypertension and dyslipidemia, for which he currently takes lisinopril and atorvastatin, respectively. He is allergic to aspirin and peanuts. A computerized tomography (CT) scan shows evidence of an ischemic stroke. Which medication would most likely prevent such attacks in this patient in the future?
Pain worse at rest or at night Prior history of cancer History of chronic infection (especially lung, urinary tract, skin) History of trauma Incontinence Age >70 years Intravenous drug use Glucocorticoid use History of a rapidly progressive neurologic deficit Neutropenic enterocolitis is often identified as a cause of abdominal pain and fever in some patients with bone marrow suppression due to chemotherapy. Most patients typically have blood in the urine (hematuria), pain in the infrascapular region (loin), and a mass. A 55-year-old male presents with irritative and obstructive urinary symptoms.
A 70-year-old man presents to a medical clinic reporting blood in his urine and lower abdominal pain for the past few days. He is also concerned about urinary frequency and urgency. He states that he recently completed a cycle of chemotherapy for non-Hodgkin lymphoma. Which medication in the chemotherapy regimen most likely caused his symptoms?
Treatment of bites includes local washing and elevation of the bitten area, tetanus prophylaxis, and analgesic administration. Care of the bite wound includes simple cleansing with soap and water; application of a dry, sterile dressing; and splinting of the affected extremity with padding between the digits. Each year, 800,000 Americans seek medical attention for dog bites; of those injured, 386,000 require treatment in an emergency department, with >1000 emergency department visits each day and about a dozen deaths per year. Antibiotics may also be considered if misguided first aid efforts have included incision or mouth suction of the bite site.
A 27-year-old man presents to the emergency department after a dog bite. The patient was intoxicated and pulled the dog’s tail while it was eating. The dog belongs to his friend and is back at his friend’s house currently. Physical exam is notable for a dog bite on the patient’s right arm. The wound is irrigated and explored with no retained bodies found. A tetanus vaccination is administered. Which of the following is appropriate management of this patient?
Administer amoxicillin-clavulanic acid
Administer trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole
Close the wound with sutures and discharge the patient
Discharge the patient with outpatient follow up

A 19-year-old woman, accompanied by her parents, presents after a one-week history of abnormal behavior, delusions, and unusual aggression. She denies fever, seizures or illicit drug use. Family history is negative for psychiatric illnesses. She was started on risperidone and sent home with her parents. Three days later, she is brought to the emergency department with fever and confusion. She is not verbally responsive. At the hospital, her temperature is 39.8°C (103.6°F), the blood pressure is 100/60 mm Hg, the pulse rate is 102/min, and the respiratory rate is 16/min. She is extremely diaphoretic and appears stiff. She has spontaneous eye-opening but she is not verbally responsive and she is not following commands. Laboratory studies show: Sodium 142 mmol/L Potassium 5.0 mmol/L Creatinine 1.8 mg/dl Calcium 10.4 mg/dl Creatine kinase 9800 U/L White blood cells 14,500/mm3 Hemoglobin 12.9 g/dl Platelets 175,000/mm3 Urinalysis shows protein 1+, hemoglobin 3+ with occasional leukocytes and no red blood casts. What is the best first step in the management of this condition?
Switch risperidone to clozapine
A 33-year-old fit and well woman came to the emergency department complaining of double vision and pain behind her right eye. Initially, weakness begins with extraocular muscles, drooping eyelids, double vision, and generalized muscular weakness. Blurring of vision, diplopia, and ptosis may attend the drowsiness and may bring the patient first to an ophthalmologist. A 56-year-old woman is brought to the university eye center with a complaint of “loss of vision.” Because of visual impair-ment, she has lost her driver’s license and has fallen several times in her home.
A 35-year-old woman comes to the physician because of a 1-month history of double vision, difficulty climbing stairs, and weakness when trying to brush her hair. She reports that these symptoms are worse after she exercises and disappear after she rests for a few hours. Physical examination shows drooping of her right upper eyelid that worsens when the patient is asked to gaze at the ceiling for 2 minutes. There is diminished motor strength in the upper extremities. The remainder of the examination shows no abnormalities. Which of the following is the most likely diagnosis?

: Eventual AIDS vaccine failure in a rhesus monkey by viral escape from cytotoxic T lymphocytes. One patient with hypogammaglobulinemia who had been infected 12 years earlier and was receiving IV immune globulin suddenly developed quadriplegia and respiratory muscle paralysis and died; analysis showed that the virus had reverted to a more wild-type sequence. This child has acute falciparum malaria, and her lethargy and abnormal laboratory tests are consistent with progres-sion to severe disease. Excessive physical activity and local injections during the period of asymptomatic infection were thought to favor the development of paralysis of the exercised or injected limbs.
A 12-year-old boy who recently emigrated from Pakistan presents with fever, muscle pain, and weakness of the trunk, abdomen, and legs. The patient’s mother says that he has not been vaccinated. Physical examination reveals fasciculation and flaccid paralysis of the lower limbs. A CSF analysis reveals lymphocytosis with normal glucose and protein levels. A throat swab reveals an RNA virus. Which of the following would most likely be destroyed by the virus in this patient?
Posterior horn cells of the spinal cord
Anterior horn of the spinal cord
Additionally, the sigmoidal relationship between the velocity of the reaction and substrate concentration (see p. 98) maximizes the enzyme’s responsiveness to changes in blood glucose level. The other kinetic parameter frequently used to characterize an enzyme is its Km, the concentration of substrate that allows the reaction to proceed at one-half its maximum rate (0.5 Vmax) (see Figure 3–46). The rate of an enzyme-catalyzed reaction increases with substrate concentration until a maximal velocity (Vmax) is reached (Fig. kinetics enzyme for its substrate.
A researcher is studying the properties of an enzyme that adds phosphate groups to glucose. She discovers that the enzyme is present in most body tissues and is located in the cytoplasm of the cells expressing the enzyme. She decides to mix this enzyme under subphysiologic conditions with varying levels of glucose in order to determine the kinetic properties of the enzyme. Specifically, she adds increasing levels of glucose at a saturating concentration of phosphate and sees that the rate at which glucose becomes phosphorylated gets faster at higher levels of glucose. She observes that this rate approaches a maximum speed and calls this speed Y. She then determines the concentration of glucose that is needed to make the enzyme function at half the speed Y and calls this concentration X. Which of the following is most likely true about the properties of this enzyme?

A complex interplay between PGF2α and oxytocin is critical to the onset of labor.
A 31-year-old G2P2 female at 40 weeks gestation presents to the hospital following a rush of water that came from her vagina. She is 4 cm dilated and 80% effaced. Fetal heart tracing shows a pulse of 155/min with variable decelerations. About 12 hours after presentation, she gives birth to a 6 lb 15 oz baby boy with APGAR scores of 8 and 9 at 1 and 5 minutes, respectively. Which of the following structures is responsible for inhibition of female internal genitalia?
Which one of the following etiologies most likely explains this patient’s pulmonary symptoms? The hemoptysis (coughing up blood in the sputum) and the rest of the history suggest the patient has a lung infection. Fever, pharyngeal erythema, tonsillar exudate, lack of cough. Associated symptoms of fever and chills should raise the suspicion of infective etiologies, both pulmonary and systemic.
A 43-year-old woman presents to the emergency department complaining of palpitations, dry cough, and shortness of breath for 1 week. She immigrated to the United States from Korea at the age of 20. She says that her heart is racing and she has never felt these symptoms before. Her cough is dry and is associated with shortness of breath that occurs with minimal exertion. Her past medical history is otherwise unremarkable. She has no allergies and is not currently taking any medications. She is a nonsmoker and an occasional drinker. She denies illicit drug use. Her blood pressure is 100/65 mm Hg, pulse is 76/min, respiratory rate is 23/min, and temperature is 36.8°C (98.2°F). Her physical examination is significant for bibasilar lung crackles and a non-radiating, low-pitched, mid-diastolic rumbling murmur best heard at the apical region. In addition, she has jugular vein distention and bilateral pitting edema in her lower extremities. Which of the following best describes the infectious agent that led to this patient’s condition?

Based on data from population-based registries, approximately 1 in 8 liveborn and stillborn neonates with a congenital heart defect has a chromosomal abnormality (Dolk, 2010; Hartman, 201l). The recipient neonate may also have circulatory overload from heart failure and severe hypervolemia and hyperviscosity. Furthermore, echocardiography can facilitate evaluation for the several associated defects that can be present in critical neonatal AS, including mitral stenosis, LV hypoplasia, LV endo-cardial fibroelastosis, subaortic stenosis, VSD, or coarctation. Retinopathy of prematurity, Intraventricular hemorrhage, Bronchopulmonary dysplasia (RIB).
A male neonate is being examined by a pediatrician. His mother informs the doctor that she had a mild fever with rash, muscle pain, and swollen and tender lymph nodes during the second month of gestation. The boy was born at 39 weeks gestation via spontaneous vaginal delivery with no prenatal care. On physical examination, the neonate has normal vital signs. Retinal examination reveals the findings shown in the image. Which of the following congenital heart defects is most likely to be present in this neonate?
Ventricular septal defect
B. Presents with high fever, sore throat, drooling with dysphagia, muffled voice, and inspiratory stridor; risk ofairway obstruction This reflects a poor immune response to the virus in the acute phase of infection due to immaturity of the neonatal immune system, as well as infection by a viral strain that has already evaded an immune system that is genetically close to that of the child. High fever, leukocytosis, and a purulent nasal discharge are suggestive of acute bacterial sinusitis. Exceptional situations include lack of response to empirical therapy, unusually severe presentations, nosocomial pneumonia, and immunocompromised children susceptible to infections with opportunistic pathogens (Table 110-3).
A 4-year-old boy is brought to the emergency department by his parents. He is lethargic and confused and has a severe headache, vomiting, and a high-grade fever since earlier that day. His mother reports that the child was doing well until 2 days ago when he developed a fever and green nasal discharge. The patient has a history of neonatal sepsis, meningococcemia at 18 months of age, and pneumococcal pneumonia at 2 and 3 years of age. His scheduled vaccinations are up to date. His blood pressure is 70/50 mm Hg, heart rate is 120/min, respiratory rate is 22/min, and temperature is 39.3°C (102.4°F). On examination, the child is lethargic and his skin is pale, with several petechiae over his buttocks. There is a purulent nasal discharge from both nostrils. The lungs are clear to auscultation bilaterally. Heart sounds are normal. There is marked neck rigidity. Cerebrospinal fluid analysis shows the following results: Opening pressure 100 mm H2O Appearance cloudy Protein 500 mg/dL (5 g/L) White blood cells 2500/μL (polymorphonuclear predominance) Protein 450 mg/dL (4.5 g/L) Glucose 31 mg/dL (1.7 mmol/L) Culture positive for N. meningitidis Which of the following immunological processes is most likely to be impaired in this child?

Immediate hospitalization and aggressive therapy are warranted for serious pulmonary infections.
A 66-year-old woman with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease is brought to the emergency department because of fever, body aches, malaise, and a dry cough. She has smoked one pack of cigarettes daily for 30 years but quit smoking 1 year ago. She lives with her daughter and her granddaughter, who attends daycare. Her temperature is 38.1°C (101°F). Physical examination shows bilateral conjunctivitis, rhinorrhea, and erythematous tonsils without exudates. Further testing confirms infection with an enveloped orthomyxovirus. Administration of a drug with which of the following mechanisms of action is most appropriate?
Inhibition of nucleoside reverse transcriptase
Inhibition of proton translocation
Inhibition of neuraminidase
Papillary carcinoma of thyroid Unilateral total lobectomy: is it sufficient surgical treatment for patients with AMES low-risk papillary thyroid carcinoma? If the diagnosis is uncertain, the lesions are classified as “suspicious for malignancy.” Lobec-tomy or near-total thyroidectomy is recommended because 60% to 75% turn out to be malignant. Some small papillary thyroid cancers (<1 cm) can be fol-lowed with active surveillance.6 Focused mini-incision parathyroidectomy, after appropri-ate localization, has become the procedure of choice for the treatment of sporadic primary hyperparathyroidism.7 Parathyroidectomy has been shown to improve the clas-sic and the so-called nonspecific symptoms and metabolic complications of primary hyperparathyroidism.8 Normocalcemic hyperparathyroidism is being increasingly recognized; however, there are no definitive guidelines for management.9 Very high calcium and parathyroid hormone levels in a patient with primary hyperparathyroidism should alert the surgeon to the presence of a possible parathyroid carcinoma.10 Subclinical Cushing’s syndrome is characterized by subtle abnormalities in corticosteroid synthesis, and many of its manifestations appear to be treated by adrenalectomy.11 Fine-needle aspiration biopsy has a very limited role in the evaluation of adrenal incidentalomas unless the patient has previously had a cancer and should only be performed after appropriate biochemical studies have been performed to rule out pheochromocytoma.12 Laparoscopic adrenalectomy has become the procedure of choice for excision of most adrenal lesions, except known or suspected cancers.Brunicardi_Ch38_p1625-p1704.indd 162601/03/19 11:20 AM 1627THYROID, PARATHYROID, AND ADRENALCHAPTER 38failed to fuse with the main thyroid, as previously suggested by Crile.
A 38-year-old woman undergoes hemithyroidectomy for treatment of localized, well-differentiated papillary thyroid carcinoma. The lesion is removed with clear margins. However, during the surgery, a structure lying directly adjacent to the superior thyroid artery at the upper pole of the thyroid lobe is damaged. This patient is most likely to experience which of the following symptoms?
Weakness of shoulder shrug
Which one of the following etiologies most likely explains this patient’s pulmonary symptoms? Difficulty in ventilation during resuscitation or high peak inspiratory pressures during mechanical ventilation strongly suggest the diagnosis. A 51-year-old man presents to the emergency department due to acute difficulty breathing. The patient is toxic, with fever, headache, and nuchal rigidity.
A 27-year-old man presents to the emergency room with persistent fever, nausea, and vomiting for the past 3 days. While waiting to be seen, he quickly becomes disoriented and agitated. Upon examination, he has visible signs of difficulty breathing with copious oral secretions and generalized muscle twitching. The patient’s temperature is 104°F (40°C), blood pressure is 90/64 mmHg, pulse is 88/min, and respirations are 18/min with an oxygen saturation of 90% on room air. When the nurse tries to place a nasal cannula, the patient becomes fearful and combative. The patient is sedated and placed on mechanical ventilation. Which of the following is a risk factor for the patient’s most likely diagnosis?
Immediate surgical exploration is mandatory for patients with shock and active ongoing hemorrhage from neck wounds. Stab wounds in a hemodynamically stable patient warrant a CT or FAST scan followed by close inpatient observation. After the initial resuscitative efforts and surgical debridement, the primary concern is the management of the open wound. Stab wounds in a hemodynamically unstable patient or in a patient with peritoneal signs or evisceration require immediate exploratory laparotomy.
A 21-year-old man presents to the emergency department after sustaining a stab wound to the neck at a local farmer's market. The patient is otherwise healthy and is complaining of pain. The patient is able to offer the history himself. His temperature is 97.6°F (36.4°C), blood pressure is 120/84 mmHg, pulse is 90/min, respirations are 15/min, and oxygen saturation is 98% on room air. Physical exam demonstrates a 3 cm laceration 1 cm inferior to the mastoid process on the right side. The patient's breath sounds are clear and he is protecting his airway. No stridor or difficulty breathing is noted. Which of the following is the most appropriate next step in the management of this patient?
Observation and blood pressure monitoring
Enlarged lymph nodes and rare malignancies such as rhabdomyosarcoma can occur either in the midline or laterally.LymphadenopathyThe most common cause of a neck mass in a child is an enlarged lymph node, which typically can be found laterally or in the midline. The typical symptom is a diffuse mass in the neck, which may be managed medically or may need surgical excision if the mass is large enough to affect the patient’s life or cause respiratory problems. Patients typically present with a pul-satile neck mass. The neck should be examined for thyromegaly.
A 13-year-old girl presents to a medical office for the evaluation of a lump on the front of her neck. The patient denies pain, but states that the mass bothers her because “it moves when I swallow”. The physical examination reveals a midline neck mass that is above the hyoid bone but below the level of the mandible. The mass is minimally mobile and feels fluctuant without erythema. The patient is afebrile and all vital signs are stable. A complete blood count and thyroid function tests are performed and are within normal limits. What is the most likely cause of this patient’s presentation?
Persistent thyroid tissue at the tongue base
Deletion of the 22q11 gene
Cyst formation in a persistent thyroglossal duct

Variant Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease (vCJD)
Subacute sclerosing panencephalitis (SSPE)
Progressive multifocal encephalopathy (PML)
Both light and heavy bleeding were associated with subsequent preterm labor, placental abruption, and pregnancy loss before 24 weeks. In a study of 347 patients with a first-trimester pregnancy documented by ultrasonography, the overall rate of pregnancy loss was 6.1% to 4.2% in patients without bleeding and 12.4% in patients with bleeding (4). Second, the patient may be noted to have little bleeding from the vagina but deteriorating vital signs manifested by low blood pressure and rapid pulse, falling hematocrit level, and flank or abdominal pain. Bleeding from a previa usu in a woman who has had an uneventful prenatal course.
A 23-year-old G1 at 10 weeks gestation based on her last menstrual period is brought to the emergency department by her husband due to sudden vaginal bleeding. She says that she has mild lower abdominal cramps and is feeling dizzy and weak. Her blood pressure is 100/60 mm Hg, the pulse is 100/min, and the respiration rate is 15/min. She says that she has had light spotting over the last 3 days, but today the bleeding increased markedly and she also noticed the passage of clots. She says that she has changed three pads since the morning. She has also noticed that the nausea she was experiencing over the past few days has subsided. The physician examines her and notes that the cervical os is open and blood is pooling in the vagina. Products of conception can be visualized in the os. The patient is prepared for a suction curettage. Which of the following is the most likely cause for the pregnancy loss?
Antiphospholipid syndrome
Chromosomal abnormalities
A 5-month-old boy is brought to his physician because of vomiting, night sweats, and tremors. A newborn boy with respiratory distress, lethargy, and hypernatremia. Often neonates will have an abdominal mass at presentation.Diagnosis. If the condition began before 3 weeks’ corrected age, the crying has a diurnal pattern consistent with colic (afternoon and evening clustering), the infant is otherwise developing and thriving, and no organic cause is found, a diagnosis of colic is indicated.
An 8-month-old boy is brought to a medical office by his mother. The mother states that the boy has been very fussy and has not been feeding recently. The mother thinks the baby has been gaining weight despite not feeding well. The boy was delivered vaginally at 39 weeks gestation without complications. On physical examination, the boy is noted to be crying in his mother’s arms. There is no evidence of cyanosis, and the cardiac examination is within normal limits. The crying intensifies when the abdomen is palpated. The abdomen is distended with tympany in the left lower quadrant. You suspect a condition caused by the failure of specialized cells to migrate. What is the most likely diagnosis?
Patients present with myalgias, muscle weakness, and atrophy affecting the thigh and calf muscles. Usually, there is sciatica and chronic pain in the back and lower extremities, but sensorimotor and reflex changes in the legs are variable. Some of the commonest conditions that affect the legs are peripheral neuropathy (particularly associated with diabetes mellitus), lumbar nerve root lesions (associated with pathology of the intervertebral discs), fibular nerve palsy, and spastic paraparesis. In cases of total leg and thigh weakness, one first considers a spinal cord disease.
A 60-year-old man seeks evaluation at a medical office due to leg pain while walking. He says the pain starts in his buttocks and extends to his thighs and down to his calves. Previously, the pain resolved with rest, but the pain now persists in his feet, even during rest. His past medical history is significant for diabetes mellitus, hypertension, and cigarette smoking.

A population-based study. A population-based study. The Harvard Medical Practice Study, one of the largest studies to address this issue, was performed with hospitalized patients in New York. An epidemiologic, population-based study.
A recent study attempted to analyze whether increased "patient satisfaction" driven healthcare resulted in increased hospitalization. In this hospital, several of the wards adopted new aspects of "patient satisfaction" driven healthcare, whereas the remainder of the hospital continued to use existing protocols. Baseline population characteristics and demographics were collected at the start of the study. At the end of the following year, hospital use was assessed and compared between the two groups. Which of the following best describes this type of study?
Retrospective case-control
Even a screening test with 98% specificity and 50% sensitivity would have a positive predictive value of only about 1%. The Accuracy of Screening A screening test’s accuracy or ability to discriminate disease is described by four indices: sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value, and negative predictive value (Table 100-2). Although the diagnostic accuracy of this imaging method is high (sensitivity, 90–94%; specificity, 95–97%; negative predictive value, 93–99%), its prognostic utility has not been defined. The sensitivity and specificity for the diagnosis are about 95% each.
A new screening test utilizing a telemedicine approach to diagnosing diabetic retinopathy has been implemented in a diabetes clinic. An ophthalmologist’s exam was also performed on all patients as the gold standard for diagnosis. In a pilot study of 500 patients, the screening test detected the presence of diabetic retinopathy in 250 patients. Ophthalmologist exam confirmed a diagnosis of diabetic retinopathy in 200 patients who tested positive in the screening test, as well as 10 patients who tested negative in the screening test. What is the sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value, and negative predictive value of the screening test?

In normal individuals, the amplitude of the evoked muscle action potentials does not change at these rates of stimulation. FIGURE 27–6 Muscle contraction responses to different patterns of nerve stimulation used in monitoring skeletal muscle relaxation. Length-tension analysis of cardiac muscle, for example, shows a dramatic increase in passive tension as cardiac muscle is stretched beyond its resting length. Exercising the muscle for 10 s before stimulation will cause a posttetanic facilitation in patients with the Lambert-Eaton syndrome (200-fold increases are not uncommon).
A healthy 22-year-old male participates in a research study you are leading to compare the properties of skeletal and cardiac muscle. You conduct a 3-phased experiment with the participant. In the first phase, you get him to lift up a 2.3 kg (5 lb) weight off a table with his left hand. In the second phase, you get him to do 20 burpees, taking his heart rate to 150/min. In the third phase, you electrically stimulate his gastrocnemius with a frequency of 50 Hz. You are interested in the tension and electrical activity of specific muscles as follows: Biceps in phase 1, cardiac muscle in phase 2, and gastrocnemius in phase 3. What would you expect to be happening in the phases and the respective muscles of interest?
Recruitment of small motor units at the start of experiments 1 and 2
Recruitment of large motor units followed by small motor units in experiment 1
Fused tetanic contraction at the end of all three experiments
Increase of tension in all phases
This history may give a significant clue to the type of injury and the likely findings on clinical examination, for example, if the patient was kicked around the medial aspect of the knee, a valgus deformity injury to the tibial collateral ligament might be suspected. The knee will also be assessed for: joint line tenderness, patellofemoral movement and instability, presence of an effusion, muscle injury, and popliteal fossa masses. The patient developed significant deformity of the knee over time, including a large effusion in the lateral aspect. B. Knee joint showing a torn tibial collateral ligament.
A 20-year-old male comes into your office two days after falling during a pick up basketball game. The patient states that the lateral aspect of his knee collided with another player's knee. On exam, the patient's right knee appears the same size as his left knee without any swelling or effusion. The patient has intact sensation and strength in both lower extremities. The patient's right knee has no laxity upon varus stress test, but is more lax upon valgus stress test when compared to his left knee. Lachman's test and posterior drawer test both have firm endpoints without laxity. Which of the following structures has this patient injured?

The patient first notices mild general weakness and paresthesias consisting of tingling, “pins and needles” feelings, or other vaguely described sensations. Patients usually present with numbness and paresthesias in the distal extremities that are often asymmetric. In addition, clinical signs (such as pain, pins-and-needles sensations, paresthesia, and fascicular muscle twitching) resulting from any disorder affecting these spinal nerves (e.g., herniated intervertebral disc in the lumbar region) appear in the lower limb. The patient, after being asleep for a few hours, is awakened by numbness or a tingling, prickling, “pins-and-needles” feeling in the fingers, and hands.
An 18-year-old man comes to the clinic with his mom for “pins and needles” of both of his arms. He denies any past medical history besides a recent anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) tear that was repaired 1 week ago. The patient reports that the paresthesias are mostly located along the posterior forearms, left more than the right. What physical examination finding would you expect from this patient?
Loss of forearm flexion and supination
In an epileptic patient known to be taking seizure medications chronically but in whom the serum level of drug is unknown, it is probably best to administer the full-recommended dose of phenytoin. The patient had been taking phenytoin (his only medication) since the onset of the seizure disorder. Phenytoin is contraindicated in toxicologic seizures: Animal and human data demonstrate worse outcomes after phenytoin loading, especially Errors in dosing by health care providers may require educational efforts.
A 9-year-old girl is resuscitated after the administration of an erroneous dose of intravenous phenytoin for recurrent seizures. This incident is reported to the authorities. A thorough investigation reveals various causative factors leading to the event. One important finding is a verbal misunderstanding of the dose of phenytoin between the ordering senior resident and the receiving first-year resident during the handover of the patient. To minimize the risk of this particular error in the future, the most appropriate management is to implement which of the following?
Closed-loop communication
Patients should avoid intense athletic competition and training. Unless foul play is suspected, the health care team need not contact the medical examiner either. Approach to the Patient with Possible Cardiovascular Disease Obviously those found to have serious heart disease should give up competitive sports, but the majority has no demonstrable cardiac abnormality.
You are the team physician for an NBA basketball team. On the morning of an important playoff game, an EKG of a star player, Mr. P, shows findings suspicious for hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM). Mr. P is an otherwise healthy, fit, professional athlete. The playoff game that night is the most important of Mr. P's career. When you inform the coach that you are thinking of restricting Mr. P's participation, he threatens to fire you. Later that day you receive a phone call from the owner of the team threatening a lawsuit should you restrict Mr. P's ability to play. Mr. P states that he will be playing in the game "if it's the last thing I do." Which of the following is the most appropriate next step?
Consult with a psychiatrist to have Mr. P committed
Call the police and have Mr. P arrested
Allow Mr. P to play against medical advice

The newborn (particularly a preterm infant) responds paradoxically to hypoxia with apnea rather than tachypnea as occurs in adults. Transient tachypnea of the newborn may be caused by retained lung fluid or slow resorption of lung fluid. Speciically, the rates of transient tachypnea of the newborn were 6.7 and 9.9 percent in those given betamethasone and placebo, respectively. Transient tachypnea of the newborn usually is noted in larger premature infants and in term infants born by precipitous delivery or cesarean section without prior labor.
Several hours after vaginal delivery, a male newborn delivered at full-term develops tachycardia and tachypnea. His blood pressure is within normal limits. Pulse oximetry on room air shows an oxygen saturation of 79% in the right hand and 61% in the left foot.

Mutations of the red and green pigments cause congenital X-linked color blindness in 8% of males. Each son born to a female carrier of an X-linked recessive trait has a 50% chance of inheriting the trait, but none of this woman’s daughters would be affected (each daughter has a 50% chance of being a carrier). When a woman carries a gene causing an X-linked recessive condition, each of her sons has a 50-percent risk of being afected, and each daughter has a 50-percent chance of being a carrier. In this situation, there is a 25% chance that the offspring will have a normal genotype, a 50% probability of a heterozygous state, and a 25% risk of homozygosity for the recessive alleles (Figs.

Dataset Creation
Curation Rationale
Since code generation models are often trained on dumps of GitHub a dataset not included in the dump was necessary to properly evaluate the model. However, since this dataset was published on GitHub it is likely to be included in future dumps.
Personal and Sensitive Information
None.
Social Impact of Dataset
With this dataset code generating models can be better evaluated which leads to fewer issues introduced when using such models.
Execution
Execution Example
Install the repo mbxp-exec-eval to execute generations or canonical solutions for the prompts from this dataset.
>>> from datasets import load_dataset >>> from mxeval.execution import check_correctness >>> humaneval_python = load_dataset("mxeval/multi-humaneval", "python", split="test") >>> example_problem = humaneval_python[0] >>> check_correctness(example_problem, example_problem["canonical_solution"], timeout=20.0) {'task_id': 'HumanEval/0', 'passed': True, 'result': 'passed', 'completion_id': None, 'time_elapsed': 9.636878967285156}
Considerations for Using the Data
Make sure to sandbox the execution environment.

https://huggingface.co/OFA-Sys/ofa-large-caption | OFA-large-caption
Introduction
This is the large version of OFA model finetuned for image captioning. OFA is a unified multimodal pretrained model that unifies modalities (i.e., cross-modality, vision, language) and tasks (e.g., image generation, visual grounding, image captioning, image classification, text generation, etc.) to a simple sequence-to-sequence learning framework.
The directory includes 4 files, namely config.json which consists of model configuration, vocab.json and merge.txt for our OFA tokenizer, and lastly pytorch_model.bin which consists of model weights. There is no need to worry about the mismatch between Fairseq and transformers, since we have addressed the issue yet.
How to use
To use it in transformers, please refer to https://github.com/OFA-Sys/OFA/tree/feature/add_transformers. Install the transformers and download the models as shown below.
git clone --single-branch --branch feature/add_transformers https://github.com/OFA-Sys/OFA.git pip install OFA/transformers/ git clone https://huggingface.co/OFA-Sys/OFA-large-caption
After, refer the path to OFA-large to ckpt_dir, and prepare an image for the testing example below. Also, ensure that you have pillow and torchvision in your environment.
>>> from PIL import Image >>> from torchvision import transforms >>> from transformers import OFATokenizer, OFAModel >>> from generate import sequence_generator >>> mean, std = [0.5, 0.5, 0.5], [0.5, 0.5, 0.5] >>> resolution = 480 >>> patch_resize_transform = transforms.Compose([ lambda image: image.convert("RGB"), transforms.Resize((resolution, resolution), interpolation=Image.BICUBIC), transforms.ToTensor(), transforms.Normalize(mean=mean, std=std) ]) >>> tokenizer = OFATokenizer.from_pretrained(ckpt_dir) >>> txt = " what does the image describe?" >>> inputs = tokenizer([txt], return_tensors="pt").input_ids >>> img = Image.open(path_to_image) >>> patch_img = patch_resize_transform(img).unsqueeze(0) # using the generator of fairseq version >>> model = OFAModel.from_pretrained(ckpt_dir, use_cache=True) >>> generator = sequence_generator.SequenceGenerator( tokenizer=tokenizer, beam_size=5, max_len_b=16, min_len=0, no_repeat_ngram_size=3, ) >>> data = {} >>> data["net_input"] = {"input_ids": inputs, 'patch_images': patch_img, 'patch_masks':torch.tensor([True])} >>> gen_output = generator.generate([model], data) >>> gen = [gen_output[i][0]["tokens"] for i in range(len(gen_output))] # using the generator of huggingface version >>> model = OFAModel.from_pretrained(ckpt_dir, use_cache=False) >>> gen = model.generate(inputs, patch_images=patch_img, num_beams=5, no_repeat_ngram_size=3) >>> print(tokenizer.batch_decode(gen, skip_special_tokens=True)) |

Dataset Creation
Curation Rationale
Since code generation models are often trained on dumps of GitHub a dataset not included in the dump was necessary to properly evaluate the model. However, since this dataset was published on GitHub it is likely to be included in future dumps.
Personal and Sensitive Information
None.
Social Impact of Dataset
With this dataset code generating models can be better evaluated which leads to fewer issues introduced when using such models.

====================================
Announcements:
Documentation is outdated and it is not planned to be updated. The backlog of Models is immense. Last known Read-ME update: 5/12/2023 - I apologize in advance to the model makers of our community but I have too much going on IRL. Go to files to view models rather than using the documentation.
Edit: Figured out a way to automate 85% of documentation. This is a v2 of my document automation. I will begin to work on v3 in about 3 weeks and this will complete my document automation. Documentation/Credits will not be posted until v3 is completed. All previous models will be appropriately credited at that point.
Do not rely on ctrl+f for the time being Models are in fact being uploaded. Check the files section in the mean time.

https://huggingface.co/facebook/musicgen-large | MusicGen - Large - 3.3B
MusicGen is a text-to-music model capable of genreating high-quality music samples conditioned on text descriptions or audio prompts. It is a single stage auto-regressive Transformer model trained over a 32kHz EnCodec tokenizer with 4 codebooks sampled at 50 Hz. Unlike existing methods, like MusicLM, MusicGen doesn't require a self-supervised semantic representation, and it generates all 4 codebooks in one pass. By introducing a small delay between the codebooks, we show we can predict them in parallel, thus having only 50 auto-regressive steps per second of audio.
MusicGen was published in Simple and Controllable Music Generation by Jade Copet, Felix Kreuk, Itai Gat, Tal Remez, David Kant, Gabriel Synnaeve, Yossi Adi, Alexandre Défossez.
Four checkpoints are released:
small
medium
large (this checkpoint)
melody
Example
Try out MusicGen yourself!
Audiocraft Colab:
Hugging Face Colab:
Hugging Face Demo:
🤗 Transformers Usage
You can run MusicGen locally with the 🤗 Transformers library from version 4.31.0 onwards.
First install the 🤗 Transformers library and scipy:
pip install --upgrade pip pip install --upgrade transformers scipy
Run inference via the Text-to-Audio (TTA) pipeline. You can infer the MusicGen model via the TTA pipeline in just a few lines of code!
from transformers import pipeline import scipy synthesiser = pipeline("text-to-audio", "facebook/musicgen-large") music = pipe("lo-fi music with a soothing melody", forward_params={"do_sample": True}) scipy.io.wavfile.write("musicgen_out.wav", rate=music["sampling_rate"], music=audio["audio"])
Run inference via the Transformers modelling code. You can use the processor + generate code to convert text into a mono 32 kHz audio waveform for more fine-grained control.
from transformers import AutoProcessor, MusicgenForConditionalGeneration processor = AutoProcessor.from_pretrained("facebook/musicgen-large") model = MusicgenForConditionalGeneration.from_pretrained("facebook/musicgen-large") inputs = processor( text=["80s pop track with bassy drums and synth", "90s rock song with loud guitars and heavy drums"], padding=True, return_tensors="pt", ) audio_values = model.generate(**inputs, max_new_tokens=256)
Listen to the audio samples either in an ipynb notebook:
from IPython.display import Audio sampling_rate = model.config.audio_encoder.sampling_rate Audio(audio_values[0].numpy(), rate=sampling_rate)
Or save them as a .wav file using a third-party library, e.g. scipy:
import scipy sampling_rate = model.config.audio_encoder.sampling_rate scipy.io.wavfile.write("musicgen_out.wav", rate=sampling_rate, data=audio_values[0, 0].numpy())
For more details on using the MusicGen model for inference using the 🤗 Transformers library, refer to the MusicGen docs.
Audiocraft Usage
You can also run MusicGen locally through the original Audiocraft library:
First install the audiocraft library
pip install git+https://github.com/facebookresearch/audiocraft.git
Make sure to have ffmpeg installed:
apt get install ffmpeg
Run the following Python code:
from audiocraft.models import MusicGen from audiocraft.data.audio import audio_write model = MusicGen.get_pretrained("large") model.set_generation_params(duration=8) # generate 8 seconds. descriptions = ["happy rock", "energetic EDM"] wav = model.generate(descriptions) # generates 2 samples. for idx, one_wav in enumerate(wav): # Will save under {idx}.wav, with loudness normalization at -14 db LUFS. audio_write(f'{idx}', one_wav.cpu(), model.sample_rate, strategy="loudness")
Model details
Organization developing the model: The FAIR team of Meta AI.
Model date: MusicGen was trained between April 2023 and May 2023.
Model version: This is the version 1 of the model.
Model type: MusicGen consists of an EnCodec model for audio tokenization, an auto-regressive language model based on the transformer architecture for music modeling. The model comes in different sizes: 300M, 1.5B and 3.3B parameters ; and two variants: a model trained for text-to-music generation task and a model trained for melody-guided music generation.
Paper or resources for more information: More information can be found in the paper Simple and Controllable Music Generation.

License: Code is released under MIT, model weights are released under CC-BY-NC 4.0.
Where to send questions or comments about the model: Questions and comments about MusicGen can be sent via the Github repository of the project, or by opening an issue.
Intended use
Primary intended use: The primary use of MusicGen is research on AI-based music generation, including:
Research efforts, such as probing and better understanding the limitations of generative models to further improve the state of science
Generation of music guided by text or melody to understand current abilities of generative AI models by machine learning amateurs
Primary intended users: The primary intended users of the model are researchers in audio, machine learning and artificial intelligence, as well as amateur seeking to better understand those models.
Out-of-scope use cases: The model should not be used on downstream applications without further risk evaluation and mitigation. The model should not be used to intentionally create or disseminate music pieces that create hostile or alienating environments for people. This includes generating music that people would foreseeably find disturbing, distressing, or offensive; or content that propagates historical or current stereotypes.
Metrics
Models performance measures: We used the following objective measure to evaluate the model on a standard music benchmark:
Frechet Audio Distance computed on features extracted from a pre-trained audio classifier (VGGish)
Kullback-Leibler Divergence on label distributions extracted from a pre-trained audio classifier (PaSST)
CLAP Score between audio embedding and text embedding extracted from a pre-trained CLAP model
Additionally, we run qualitative studies with human participants, evaluating the performance of the model with the following axes:
Overall quality of the music samples;
Text relevance to the provided text input;
Adherence to the melody for melody-guided music generation.
More details on performance measures and human studies can be found in the paper.
Decision thresholds: Not applicable.
Evaluation datasets
The model was evaluated on the MusicCaps benchmark and on an in-domain held-out evaluation set, with no artist overlap with the training set.
Training datasets
The model was trained on licensed data using the following sources: the Meta Music Initiative Sound Collection, Shutterstock music collection and the Pond5 music collection. See the paper for more details about the training set and corresponding preprocessing.
Evaluation results
Below are the objective metrics obtained on MusicCaps with the released model. Note that for the publicly released models, we had all the datasets go through a state-of-the-art music source separation method, namely using the open source Hybrid Transformer for Music Source Separation (HT-Demucs), in order to keep only the instrumental part. This explains the difference in objective metrics with the models used in the paper.

More information can be found in the paper Simple and Controllable Music Generation, in the Results section.
Limitations and biases
Data: The data sources used to train the model are created by music professionals and covered by legal agreements with the right holders. The model is trained on 20K hours of data, we believe that scaling the model on larger datasets can further improve the performance of the model.
Mitigations: Vocals have been removed from the data source using corresponding tags, and then using a state-of-the-art music source separation method, namely using the open source Hybrid Transformer for Music Source Separation (HT-Demucs).
Limitations:
The model is not able to generate realistic vocals.
The model has been trained with English descriptions and will not perform as well in other languages.
The model does not perform equally well for all music styles and cultures.
The model sometimes generates end of songs, collapsing to silence.
It is sometimes difficult to assess what types of text descriptions provide the best generations. Prompt engineering may be required to obtain satisfying results.
Biases: The source of data is potentially lacking diversity and all music cultures are not equally represented in the dataset. The model may not perform equally well on the wide variety of music genres that exists. The generated samples from the model will reflect the biases from the training data. Further work on this model should include methods for balanced and just representations of cultures, for example, by scaling the training data to be both diverse and inclusive.
Risks and harms: Biases and limitations of the model may lead to generation of samples that may be considered as biased, inappropriate or offensive. We believe that providing the code to reproduce the research and train new models will allow to broaden the application to new and more representative data.
Use cases: Users must be aware of the biases, limitations and risks of the model. MusicGen is a model developed for artificial intelligence research on controllable music generation. As such, it should not be used for downstream applications without further investigation and mitigation of risks. |

https://huggingface.co/deepset/deberta-v3-base-injection | deberta-v3-base-injection
This model is a fine-tuned version of microsoft/deberta-v3-base on the promp-injection dataset. It achieves the following results on the evaluation set:
Loss: 0.0673
Accuracy: 0.9914
Model description
This model detects prompt injection attempts and classifies them as "INJECTION". Legitimate requests are classified as "LEGIT". The dataset assumes that legitimate requests are either all sorts of questions of key word searches.
Intended uses & limitations
If you are using this model to secure your system and it is overly "trigger-happy" to classify requests as injections, consider collecting legitimate examples and retraining the model with the promp-injection dataset.
Training and evaluation data
Based in the promp-injection dataset.

othering is a form of laziness, and a desire to view your colorblindness as progress
The speaker is trying to explain the concept of "othering" and why it is wrong
people who are subject to othering, especially people of color
power differential between speaker and listener due to race, class, and educational level.
implies that people who think they are being progressive by being colorblind are actually just lazy in their thinking and perpetuating racism by not recognizing the differences among people.
People of color could feel validated or empowered by this statement, as it acknowledges the existence of racism and calls out those who try to deny it.
People of color could be more aware of how racism works in subtle ways and how they can combat it.
None, as this statement is meant to be empowering for those affected by racism.
