During the visit, the mother voices her concern that her son has been having frequent infections since he was around 6 months old. She states that he recovers only briefly before he has another ear infection, sinus infection, or even pneumonia. The pediatrician reviews the chart and acknowledges to the mother that her son has had more infections than the average child. 1. The pediatrician orders laboratory analysis targeted at an immunodeficiency diagnosis. Which of the following tests would be most beneficial in diagnosing this patient? A). Red blood cell count B). Immunoglobulin levels C). Metabolic panel D). Gram stain and culture 2. The child’s IgG, IgM, and IgA levels are very low, indicating a lack of immunoglobulins. Taking into account the child's age and sex, which primary immunodeficiency is most likely?…

What are common or usual findings in transillumination tests of the frontal and maxillary sinuses?
A craniotomy was scheduled for excision of left-sided intracranial lesion. When Dr. Nelson reached the lesion, he noted an encapsulated mass filled with purulent material. He took two sets of cultures and proceeded to remove the capsule and purulent collection. He had the circulating nurse look back at the referring physician’s history and she read that the patient had two root canal procedures performed on the left upper side a few months ago. What type of lesion did Dr. Nelson find and remove?

What type of lesion did Dr. Nelson find and remove? Is there a relationship between the patient’s history and the findings at surgery? In general, what other types of infections might cause the current intracranial findings? Do you think the patient has a good prognosis based on the pathological findings? Could the patient be at risk for a CNS infection because of the craniotomy procedure? Please answer questions 1,2,3,4, and 5 if possible.

Mr. H is a 52-year-old male who presents to the emergency department. His left leg is in a cast, and he states that 1 week ago he was in an automobile crash and broke his upper leg. Since that time, he has had difficulty “getting around” and has mostly been lying on the couch watching television. On the evening of admission he noticed a sudden onset of dyspnea and chest pain. He denies having orthopnea, cough, hemoptysis, or wheezing. He smoked two packs of cigarettes a day for 19 years but quit 3 years ago. The ABG analysis of Mr. H suggests uncompensated respiratory alkalosis with mild hypoxemia, with base excess of -1 in her arterial side, whereas -4 in her venous side. Part 1: Her actual arterial-venous oxygen content difference (Ca-vO2) is 5.31 mL/dL. (Normal range considered here is 3.5 to 5 mL/dL) Part 2: Patient's actual oxygen extraction ratio (O2ER) was 29%. (Say normal range is 20-28%) What is clinically happening to the patient?
A client fell 2 days ago; he has a compound fracture of his left tibia. The physician performed an open reduction with internal fixation (ORIF) to treat the fracture.

A lethargic 22-month old black female was presented by her mother to the emergency room at 2:15am on a Sunday. The child had a history of a runny nose, hoarse cough and low-grade fever (-99F) for the past 48 hours. The mother was concerned about the forced and noisy breathing of the child. The pediatrician examined the child and found cloudy eyes and mild inflammation of the ears, but no overt signs of bacterial infection (no significant changes in the eardrums). The throat of the child was red and coated with mucus. The larynx was swollen and raw. The physician performed a rapid Strep test and found it was negative. Throat swabs were taken for culture. The physician placed the child in a room with a warm vaporizer for about 30 minutes. This dramatically improved the breathing of the child. 1. What is the infectious agent that caused this case? 2. Do you believe that this is a bacterial or viral disease? Why? 3. What further treatment is indicated for this case?
