Chapter 3, Problem 39CT
Three patients in an intensive care unit are examined by the resident doctor. One patient has brain damage from a stroke, another had a heart attack that severely damaged his heart muscle, and the third has a severely damaged liver (a gland) from a crushing injury in a car accident. All three patients have stabilized and will survive, but only one will have full functional recovery through regeneration. Which one, and why?

A 19-year-old male patient is admitted with a fracture of C6 and C7 that has progressed to quadriplegia. His career as a football player had been very promising. He was injured during a football game at the university where he is currently a senior. At the time of the injury, contract negotiations were in progress with a leading professional football team.

You have a terrible dream that you have awakened three hours late for the final exam. You rush to get ready, but you can’t find your car keys. You go to call for a cab and find that the phone is out of order. You begin to panic and decide to run to school. As soon as you open the door to your house, you awaken. You find yourself still in bed, drenched in sweat, with a pounding heart and a dry mouth.
What prevented you from acting out your dream?

- A 23-year-old male patient is admitted with a fracture of C6 and C7 that has resulted in quadriplegia. He was injured during a football game at the university where he is currently a senior. His career as a quarterback had been very promising. At the time of the injury, contract negotiations were in progress with a leading professional football team. 2.Consider what adaptations would be necessary in each of the following four adaptive modes: (1) physiological, (2) self-concept, (3) interdependence, and (4) role function.arrow_forwardName two specific tissues that regenerate well and two that regenerate poorly.arrow_forwardA woman was hit by a car and complained of injuries to her leg, knee, hip, and thigh. She was taken to the nearest hospital, where, on the orders of a physician, she received X-rays of her arm and pelvis. No X-ray was taken of her leg, and she was released from the hospital on crutches. The pain in her leg increased, and she went to another hospital some hours later, where an X-ray was taken and revealed that her leg was fractured. She was admitted to the second hospital and remained an inpatient for a month. Ten days after admission to the second hospital, she received a letter from the first hospital telling her to return for a leg X-ray. She sued the first hospital and the radiologist. Does the radiologist, who never saw her, have a contractual relationship with the patient?arrow_forward

Does the radiologist, who never saw her, have a contractual relationship with the patient? I believe the radiologist does have a contractual relationship with the patients because they are the one reading the X-rays and making the diagnosis to the doctor. The patient was right in suing the hospital…arrow_forwardOne of your classmates plays on the soccer team. At a recent game, they went to cut and attack the ball, and experienced an ACL tear. The athletic therapist supported them off the field to get medical support. Two months later, your classmate gets surgery on their knee and they show you a large scar on the lateral side of their knee. a) List 4 symptoms of inflammation your classmate might experience at the time of injury. b) Describe what kind of repair happened to form the scar.arrow_forward] Mr. X, aged 85, was recently diagnosed with a particular type of brain tumor and was referred to Dr. Y, chief of surgery at the nearby university hospital, for further evaluation. This type of tumor is benign in 60% of cases and is malignant in the other 40% of cases. Mr. X’s remaining lifetime will depend on the type of tumor (benign or malignant) and on the decision whether or not to remove the tumor. The table below shows the estimates of Mr. X’s remaining lifetime according to the most up-to-date information known about this type of tumor. Tumor Leave tumor Remove tumor Benign 8 5 Malignant 1 5 Dr. Y could perform exploratory surgery before deciding whether or not to remove the tumor to assess the status of the tumor better. Exploratory surgery indicates a benign tumor 75% of the time if the tumor is indeed benign. The surgery is known to indicate a malignant tumor 65% of the time if the tumor is indeed malignant. Exploratory surgery itself is dangerous: there is a 5% chance…arrow_forward

This resulted in loss of function and sensation in his leg, which gradually returned over the course of a year. Which cells were important in his recovery?arrow_forwardA hypothetical organ has the following functional requirements : (1) the ability to resist surface abrasion and mechanical stresses;(2) the ability to contract involuntarily when stimulated by cells of the nervous system; and (3) the ability to resist tension in many different planes of force. The organ needs one tissue to carry out each of these requirements, and it also needs one tissue to " glue" all other tissues together, and one tissue to stimulate the contracting cells. What are the five tissues that will make up this hypothetical organ ? Justify your choices .arrow_forward
