- 3) Lucas is a 40-year old man who sustained a Spinal Cord Injury (SCI) in a snow skiing accident 10 years ago. The level of his injury is at C6 – he preserved function below that neurologic level. He cannot walk and he also has some impairment in the arms and hands. He is still able to use a manual wheelchair with his upper limbs’ ability. Lucas is interested in the HandbikeBattle coming up in 2024. This organized event boosts self-confidence and fitness in those who have completed rehabilitation after an injury. Lucas wishes to train this year so that he can think of going to that event. Lucas may need a power-assisted handcycle for the event, but will train with you to be properly prepared. He has not been as active in the past 5 years as he dedicated himself to his work and family and his recovery in rehab. He has a handcycle and a roller as shown below and you have agreed to meet with him to ensure he is performing safely and correctly during his weekly sessions.  a) What…arrow_forwardWoody was accidentally struck in the head with a baseball bat.

- In 2011, a young woman, Becky Forest, is brought into a small city hospital after having a bike wreck and sustaining a head injury. Becky does not seem to have sustained permanent damage, but the doctor wants to see an MRI of her brain to make sure. She reported feeling faint before the wreck, so the doctor also orders various blood tests. The nurse draws blood and sends it to a lab off site. The small hospital does not have an MRI machine, so Becky is transported to another hospital for the MRI and then taken back to the small hospital. The doctor admits Becky for overnight observation. How could electronic health records have ensured that everyone involved in Becky’s care has the most up-to-date information about her health? (500 words)arrow_forwardA patient has been experiencing numbness and pain in their hands and feet during the winter. They were initially diagnosed with Reynauds (which is caused by an overactive sympathetic nervous system cutting off blood flow to the hands in the cold), but recently they have been experiencing issues with fine motor control in their hands, and the doctor is concerned that it could be Multiple Sclerosis. How could you test to see which condition is causing this? If it is MS, what is causing these symptoms? Why did it start in their hands and feet? How would you treat this patient, if they have MS?arrow_forwardWhy do epidural, subdural, and intracerebral hematomas act like expanding masses?arrow_forward
- In the summer of 2014, a Georgia high school teen died after a day of football practice. 17-year old Zyrees Oliver complained of cramping during practice and subsequently drank two gallons of water and two more gallons of sports drink. When he couldn't drive himself home afterward, his mother picked him up from practice; he later collapsed at home and was rushed to the hospital via helicopter. Doctors reported that Oliver suffered swelling around the brain. How would you explain Oliver's swelling and his cause of death?arrow_forwardEpilepsy Epilepsy is a neurological disorder that disrupts neural activities and causes recurrent seizures. About 70% of people with epilepsy can be treated with medication to prevent seizures from occurring. If medication does not work, surgery is an option for some patients. One of the procedures involves cutting the brain so that the seizures cannot be spread to other parts of the brain. An individual was suffering from violent headaches and blurred vision for several years. A doctor determined that this individual had a tumour on the anterior pituitary. Explain why this person was experiencing blurred vision.arrow_forwardWhy is damage to the brain stem nearly always fatal?arrow_forward
- A 56-year-old woman presents with a skin lesion suspected to be malignantmelanoma. Assuming that this woman subsequently develops a seizure, in whichyou also suspect brain metastasis, and you examine the lesion under themicroscope, how will you explain this metastasis, considering the loss of tissuemicroarchitecture?arrow_forwardSunil has developed an infection that is destroying cells in the anterior gray horns in the lower cervical region of the spinal cord.
