You have to type the answers in the space provided in the ‘ASSIGNMENT: Case Studies’ section through ecampus. Case 1 . The patient has type II diabetes mellitus that has been uncontrolled and so she has been on insulin for several months. She has diabetic nephropathy and retinopathy. Case 2 . Ms. Towner, 38 years of age, is 18 weeks pregnant and has experienced no problems to date. However, she has gained almost 4 lb in the past week and her legs and hands are swollen. Her BP is 140/90 mm Hg and her urine sample contains significant protein. Further tests reveal elevated liver enzyme levels and CBC reveals a low platelet count. She is admitted to the hospital with a diagnosis of preeclampsia. Case 3 . This patient was admitted with shortness of breath and chest pain. The patient gave a history of adenocarcinoma of colon five years ago, without recurrent disease in the resected colon. A chest X-ray revealed large pleural effusion. A thoracentesis was performed to remove a large amount of fluid. The patient's breathing and chest pain improved following the thoracentesis. Cytology revealed metastatic adenocarcinoma of the pleura. The patient was seen by an oncology consultant, who felt the patient was a candidate for chemotherapy. Initial treatment of 5FU, Methotrexate, and Cytoxan was given. The patient was discharged with a diagnosis of pleural effusion due to metastatic adenocarcinoma of the pleura. Case 4 . A 65-year-old man, was in an automobile accident in which he suffered a concussion. Soon after he was released, he noticed what he described as a “gray spot” in his field of vision. At first he ignored it, thinking it would go away, but the spot seemed to darken and spread over his visual field. He didn’t report any pain with the problem. On calling his physician, he was advised to go to the nearest hospital immediately. A detached retina was diagnosed. Case 5 . This elderly patient has been treated for hypertension for many years. He has had progressive worsening of kidney function with chronic renal failure. He was brought to the ER and admitted in acute renal failure. Case 6 . This patient was admitted to the hospital in acute urinary retention. A TURP was performed, and the diagnosis made of benign prostatic hypertrophy of the prostate. The pathology report revealed BPH with microscopic foci of carcinoma of the prostate, which was documented by the physician. Case 7 . Mr. Q, age 64 years, developed a severe headache several hours ago that has not responded to acetaminophen. Now his speech is slurred, and his right arm and the right side of his face feel numb. Mr. Q has a history of smoking and arteriosclerosis, and there is family history of CVA and diabetes. Assessment at the hospital indicated weakness on the right side, including facial asymmetry and a blood pressure of 220/110 Hg mm. An CT scan showed damaged tissue on the left side of the brain, and an angiogram indicated narrowing of the carotid arteries and middle cerebral arteries, with occlusion of the left middle cerebral artery. Case 8 . PM is a 15-year-old young woman who had her menstrual period at age 11. Recently, she has been experiencing double vision, headaches, and amenorrhea. A skull MRI indicates a pituitary adenoma. Blood tests indicate low estrogen, progesterone, and TSH levels.
