Chapter 17, Problem 36RA
Summary Introduction
To review:
The treatment of incontinence through:
1. Surgery
2. Drug that blocks specific muscarinic ACh (acetylcholine) receptors
3. Drug that blocks the action of testosterone.
Introduction:
Urine is a waste product of the body when the kidneys perform filtration of blood. Urine is stored in the urinary bladder until it is excreted from the body. Urinary continence can be defined as involuntary urination or unchecked urine leakage. This incontinence can result from various reasons.Â

A 42-year-old female presents with nausea, fatigue, muscle weakness, and intermittent pain in her mid-left flank (stomach). Laboratory examination reveals an increased serum calcium and a decreased serum phosphorus. Urinary calcium is increased, and microhaematuria is present. 1.1 What is the most likely cause of this patient’s abnormality? 1.2 Which hormone is responsible for this condition? 1.3 Is the condition primary or secondary? Explain. 1.4 Explain why an increased serum calcium and a decreased serum phosphorus.
1.5 Which vitamin will have the same effect as this condition? 1.6 Explain why there is muscle weakness and pain in the mid-left flank. 1.7 Describe the meaning of the following clinical terms: 1.7.1 Nausea; 1.7.2 Fatigue; 1.7.3 Microhaematuria.
Which of the following best describes the role of the hexosamine pathway in the pathogenesis of the chronic complications of diabetes mellitus?
Question 79 options:
a)
It involves irreversible binding of glucose to proteins, lipids and nucleic acids which damages components of the microcirculation leading to retinopathy, etc.
b)
It promotes the O-linked glycosylation of proteins and transcription factors, resulting in altered gene expression contributing to insulin resistance & cardiovascular complications
c)
It promotes the synthesis of DAG which increases pro-inflammatory gene expression and endothelial ET-1 production resulting in blood flow abnormalities
d)
It leads to intracellular accumulation of osmotically active sorbitol and fructose which damages Schwann cells, erythrocytes and the lens of the eye

- Congenital adrenal hyperplasia is a lifethreatening condition that results from a deficiency in the P450 enzyme steroid 21- hydroxylase. This enzyme catalyzes the first step in the conversion of progesterone into cortisol and aldosterone (Figures 26.28 and 26.29). A characteristic of congenital adrenal hyperplasia is an increase in sex hormone production. Explain why this is the case.arrow_forwardWhich of the following clinical manifestations is consistent with diabetic nephropathy?
