Mr. Cardia has been admitted to your ward and care is assigned to you. Information from the history you have taken includes reporting 4 days of anorexia, nausea, vomiting, and occasional diarrhoea before he sought medical attention. His wife says he'd started falling asleep frequently, looked pale, and mentioned seeing yellow spots. Current medications: 0.25 mg of digoxin once a day and 20 mg of frusemide twice a day for heart failure. Vital signs: BP 110/60 P 46 RR 26 T 36.5 What may the signs and symptoms indicate? (two words)
M.L. is a 26-year-old homosexual man admitted to the hospital for progressive respiratory distress, fever, weakness, and chronic diarrhea. He tested HIV positive about 3 years ago, but his infection has remained asymptomatic until 2 months prior to admission. Pneumocystis jiroveci (carinii) pneumonia was suspected and confirmed by culture. Laboratory analysis demonstrates a low CD4+ count of 185 cells/ml. HAART treatment with the antiretrovirals azidothymidine (AZT), efavirenz (Sustiva), and ritonavir (Norvir) was started 2 months ago. QUESTIONS: A medical student asks you to draw a picture of the HIV virion and a CD4+ cell, and to explain the mechanism of intracellular infection and the role of reverse transcriptase. What would you show on the drawing and explain about the process?

Are there any data to suggest that M.L. may have one of these?

Discuss, using the text, how you believe this case should be decided. Remember to reference specific ethical principles from the text: "A 13 year old girl, suffering from toxic shock syndrome, is sent directly from school to a local emergency room. Treatment is ordered, including fever-reducing medication and a strong course of intravenous antibiotics. The parents arrive just as the medication and equipment arrive in the emergency room. They announce they are Christian Scientists and wish to take their daughter home." The clinical approach to this case requires the application of the procedure by which medical indications, patient preferences, projected quality of life and contextual features be applied. How would you decide it given our readings so far?

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?
