Mary’s young son Jesse has had a difficult first year. His first few months after birth were relatively stress free. He grew and gained weight normally. Unfortunately, over the last several weeks, all the members of Jesse’s family have had an intestinal virus that included vomiting and diarrhea. Jesse also had diarrhea and vomiting. One night Jesse woke the entire family with sudden loud crying. When Mary went to check on him, his legs were drawn up against his chest and he clearly demonstrated significant abdominal pain. The pain eventually passed but came back in the morning. That morning, Mary noticed that Jesse’s stool was bloody and appeared to have some mucus in it. Jesse appeared pale, sluggish, sweaty, and had a fever. Mary took Jesse to the emergency room where radiography showed a telescoped intestine. This is called intussusception of the colon. Include references below.
1. What caused Jesse’s intestine to telescope? 2. Why was Jesse pale and sluggish? What clinical remedy…
Your patient is a 2-year-old male named Justin. He is suffering from hypotonia (decreased muscle tone), weakness and growth failure, and is unable to walk. His mother has just brought him into the emergency room from the family beach house, where they have been spending the summer, because he has had a seizure. X-rays indicate that the toddler is suffering from rickets, which is a result of a nutritional deficiency of Vitamin D. But his mother insists that her son’s diet is not Vitamin D-deficient. He drinks three glasses of milk a day, and his diet also includes meat and eggs. A simplified scheme of Vitamin D metabolism is shown to the left. The chemical name of active Vitamin D is 1α, 25-dihydroxycholecalciferol, and it is synthesized via the pathway shown. Catalysts, both in the form of enzymes and ultraviolet light, are required for Vitamin D synthesis. The two main sources of active Vitamin D are diet and sunlight. Food supplemented with “Vitamin D” usually contains…
Ms. K is 35 years old and the CEO of a small company. On the weekend of May of 2000 she and her friend Mr. L had escaped from the stresses of the big city to spend a quiet weekend in the country. They had stopped in Walkerton for lunch. Both of them developed a moderately severe diarrheal illness, which resolved after one week. Since then Ms. K has noticed a change in her bowel habits. About every 2-3 weeks she is either very constipated or she has very soft stools 4-5 times a day over about 2 days. During these times she often feels bloated and there is pain that goes away after the bowel movement. Although she now drinks only bottled water, there have been no other changes to her diet. Ms. K appears to suffering from Irritable Bowel syndrome (IBS). Which of the following are features of IBS and how does it differ from IBD? A. IBS is considered a “functional” disorder without any identifiable structural or biochemical cause underlying the symptoms. B. Similar to IBD, IBS is still…

- Fred has been experiencing recurring episodes of heartburn, especially when he bends over to lace his shoes or when he lies down in bed. His physician believes Fred may have a hiatal hernia. To confirm this diagnosis, she has scheduled Fred for a “barium swallow.” In this test, a barium-containing fluid that blocks x-rays is swallowed so that the stomach appears as a bright mass in a radiograph. If Fred has a hiatal hernia, what should the radiologist see on the radiograph? Can you explain what caused the symptoms that brought Fred in to see his physician?arrow_forwardThe patient has mechanical jaundice. Will it affect the absorption of fat-soluble vitamins?

The change made no difference in her symptoms. The pediatrician notes that Elsa’s belly appears swollen. Her vital signs show that her temperature is normal and her heart rate is on the low end of the normal range for her age. She has dropped from the 50th percentile in height and weight (at her last check-up) to the 10th percentile in both height and weight.In your own words, briefly describe why Elsa’s parents changed her formula to the high-iron baby formula.arrow_forward
