An impassioned astronaut, who is well aware of some "kidney problem", goes to the army base for a battery and a physical exam. You are asked to fast for twelve hours overnight and collect all of your urine in the morning. During the last hour period, your urine volume is 1200 ml and your urine osmolality is 60 mosm / I. Based on these observations, be the bus ticket to return home.

Vinnie is a professional road cyclist participating in the 2020 Giro d’Italia, a three-week race nearly 3,600 km in distance with some stages exceeding altitudes of 2,700 m above sea level (i.e., Stelvio Pass, Italy). As the newly hired head of the high-performance team, it is your responsibility to manage his preparation for the event. You must demonstrate to your team a fundamental understanding of physiology, the chronic adaptations expected from his training, and methods that could be implemented to improve the likelihood of success.

1)Your first job was to schedule a VO2max test for Vinnie to examine his aerobic fitness. After repeating the assessment several weeks later after an intensive training block, you notice that VO2max has dropped, but there has been an increase in VT2. Please discuss why VO2max decreased and what impact both changes will have on performance?

2)Out of interest, you decide to measure Vinnie’s gross mechanical efficiency during cycling (i.e., the ratio of work accomplished to energy expended). You determine that he is 21.9% efficient. Please explain what efficiency is a measure of, where does this value sit within normal efficiency data and why you are unlikely to see values much higher (e.g., 50%)?

3)Within the alveoli, the partial pressure of O2 is reduced from that measured in the outside air (160 mmHg) to approximately 105 mmHg.

  1. What three factors contribute to this reduction in PAO2?

What values do you expect to observe in PO2 and PAO2 when Vinnie is cycling at the peak of Stelvio Pass (barometric pressure = 543 mmHg)?

What impact would the change in PAO2 have on Vinnie’s performance?

4)

The longest leg of the race is 228 km, during which energy intake is critical. Glycolysis and β-oxidation are processes that break down carbohydrates (i.e., glucose, sucrose, fructose) and fatty acids, respectively.

  1. Individually, what is the total ATP yield from one molecule of glucose and one molecule of palmitate?
  2. How did you reach these numbers (i.e., substrate yield and use)?

Based on what you know about the yield and speed of these two pathways, do you recommend Vinnie ingest glucose or fatty acids during the race? (Hint, remember the cross-over concept)

5)

You recommend that Vinnie performs altitude training as part of his preparation for the race, a training approach that is novel to him.

  1. What physiological changes would you expect in the short (i.e., acute), and long-term (i.e., chronic)?
  2. How will the physiological changes influence performance in the short (i.e., acute), and long-term (i.e., chronic)?

6)

During a casual chat with a sport scientist from another team, they suggest preparing “finish bottles” for the longer legs of the race. Along with a dose of painkillers, a “finish bottle” typically contains an ergogenic dose of caffeine (i.e., approximately 3 to 5 mg·kg-1 of bodyweight).

  1. As a sympathetic nervous system stimulant, what acute physiological changes will likely occur following caffeine ingestion at these doses?

Additionally, caffeine has a mild effect at mobilising free fatty acids. Please describe what is meant by mobilisation, and how this may influence performance

7)

Given that the average distance of each leg is 170.5 km in distance, and sometimes undulating in elevation, you understand that fatigue is inevitable. The energy depletion model of fatigue focuses around the concept that depleted substrates are just one source of fatigue, particularly observed in muscle glycogen and phosphocreatine stores.

  1. As an aerobic event, why do you expect depletion in glycogen and phosphocreatine?
  2. Why, specifically, is it crucial to replenish muscle glycogen stores prior to the next leg?

8)

As the event is soon approaching, parts of Hungary are experiencing a heatwave. Indeed, temperatures may exceed 32° Celsius during the first leg of the race leaving Budapest.

  1. Will the ambient temperature have any impact on Vinnie’s performance?

In terms of thermoregulation, what physiological changes are likely to occur during this leg of the race?

Dr. Roberts was summoned to the emergency department to see a 34-year-old man who was brought in complaining of a headache with nausea and vomiting. He has a 3-inch laceration over the right eyebrow with visible blood and fluid from his nose. He has become confused since arriving in the emergency department. Just prior to the completion of the CT scan, he became difficult to arouse.

A 10-year-old female patient arrives in the emergency department after falling from a playground slide and injuring her head. She lost consciousness at the scene but is awake on arrival to the ED. She complains of nausea and left-sided headache but responds to verbal commands appropriately. The neurosurgeon is called in to examine the patient. During the examination she loses consciousness again, becomes hypertensive and bradycardic. Her left pupil is now fixed and dilated. The surgeon calls the OR to set up for an emergency procedure.

1. What is the suspected diagnosis?

2. Why was an emergency procedure ordered?

3. What is the procedure that will be performed?

4. What is the long-term prognosis for the patient?

5. What is the difference between a subdural and an epidural hematoma?
