(This question is related with orthopedics. Thanks.)
A 5 years old boy is brought to the outpatient clinics of orthopaedics and traumatology department. The family complaints that the boy has a limping gait for a few weeks without a trauma history. The child has also some constitutional symptoms like mild fever and easy fatigability. The pelvis x ray demonstrates a lamellar type periosteal reaction on the left proximal femur. What is your differential diagnosis? Which key methods would be appropriate for a proper diagnosis? (max: 150 words)

Emma Norton, aged 26, is admitted to hospital with an acute exacerbation of her COPD. Using your knowledge of the respiratory system and the cardiovascular system , please answer the following questions below. Be sure to clearly label the different parts.
PART A / Emma undergoes a pulmonary lung function test. How would her total lung capacity test and her FEV1/FVC values compare to normal physiological values?
PART B / In hospital, Emma is placed on oxygen but develops respiratory depression. Explain why Emma stops breathing when she is administered oxygen.
PART C / Emma's COPD has caused pulmonary hypertension and subsequent failure of the right ventricle. What are the roles of venous pressure and capillary hydrostatic pressure in causing edema?
PART D / Emma's right ventricular failure has caused a decrease in cardiac output. Explain which hormonal system will be activated and how it compensate for this.
