The CT this country scans revealed an abdominal aortic aneurysm that was 11cm in diameter. Before he could be admitted to the hospital for repair of his abdominal aortic aneurysm, the patient passed out on his way home and was involved in a minor car accident. He was rushed to the hospital and admitted to surgery for repair of the ruptured aneurysm. During surgery, there was extensive mobilisation of the aorta, and several segmental arteries were ligated. Although the author was successfully repaired using a Dacron run graft, the patient was paraplegic and impotent, and his…

- A 26-year-old male was returning from a neighborhood store with a six-pack of beer. He attempted to run across a busy street but was struck by a car. He was fully conscious at the scene, complaining of pain in his abdomen and left leg. Examination by paramedics revealed an open fracture of the left tibia with moderate bleeding, left upper quadrant pain with rebound tenderness, and a fast, weak pulse. The leg was immobilized, oxygen was administered, an IV started, and he was transported to the Trauma Center, approximately 10 minutes away. About 3 minutes before arriving at the Trauma Center, he suffered cardiopulmonary arrest from which he could not be resuscitated, despite vigorous advanced life support. At autopsy, his stomach was found to be full of beer, along with 4 whole wieners (without any teeth marks!). His spleen, which is normally about the size of the patient’s fist, was grossly enlarged: it measured from just under the diaphragm to the level of the umbilicus, and from the…arrow_forwardLin, a 5-year-11-month-boy was admitted to a paediatric hospital. No neck stiffness, Kernig's sign (-), Brudzinski's sign (-), Babinski's sign (-). All joints had no swollen and tenderness. The outpatient physician then ordered blood routine and peripheral blood smear tests. To find out the reasons for the elbows pain, bilateral tibia, ulnar, femur and fibula films were taken. Blood routine test: WBC=7.2 x 109/L, RBC=3.1 x 109/L, BPC=64 x 109/L, Hb=90g/L, atypical cells 7%. Peripheral blood smear test: blast=18%, L=48%, N=31%. Bilateral tibia, ulnar, femur and fibula films: no obvious bone tissue damage in the bilateral ulnar, fibula, lower section of the tibia and the distal part of the femur. The outpatient physician suggested the parents to sign the consent form of bone marrow aspiration immediately and wished to proceed with the procedure as soon as possible to analyse the immune markers.

These bruises were not there when he left for school, and Billy denies being hit or falling. Mom states that he has no significant medical history, and that he is not on any medications. Billy is taken immediately to the emergency room. The mother becomes increasingly anxious as she notices new bruises appearing “in front of her eyes.” Billy also appears tense as he senses some urgency and notices some concern from medical personnel beginning the assessment. Why does unexplained multiple bruising in a child or adult require prompt medical attention? How might you understand the natural concern by medical personnel as to the source of the bruises on Billy’s body? Early assessment of Billy’s vital signs and the child’s welfare indicate that Billy’s condition…arrow_forward
