1. A 12-year old boy falls down and complains of abdominal pain. At the hospital he is suspected to have sustained injury to his liver causing bleeding into the peritoneal cavity. At surgery, part of his liver is removed because of injury. Six months later, a CT scan shows that his liver has almost returned to its normal size. State with explanation the process responsible for the CT finding?
2. A 12-year old boy developed sore throat and fever. Examination of his throat showed redness and swelling. Laboratory examination showed a high neutrophil count. He was given aspirin and within 6 hours he was better.
Discuss the mechanisms responsible for the various observations in this boy. Explain the change in his condition following administration of aspirin.
3. A 32-year-old driver is involved in a motor accident and is brought to the hospital. The examining doctor found a very rapid but weak pulse. The blood pressure was 60 mmHg systolic with un-recordable diastolic pressure. An abdominal tap indicated bleeding into the peritoneal cavity.
Name the condition this driver has got and define it. Describe the pathogenesis of this condition.
4. A lorry driver is involved in an accident and sustains a large wound on the thigh. Describe the processes involved in the healing of this wound and the factors that may hinder or promote the process. What complications may arise from healing of this wound?

Geoffrey’s cardiovascular function improves, and he starts following a healthier lifestyle. After a couple of years, his daughter takes him to the hospital for a surgical procedure requiring mechanical.ventilation. To facilitate this, his doctor plans to use a non-depolarising neuromuscular blocker, with an appropriate reversal agent thereafter. The surgery goes well, however, Geoffrey experiences facial flushing, and starts complaining of breathing difficulties thereafter. His doctor diagnoses him with non-cardiogenic pulmonary oedema due to the reversal agent, and decides to use furosemide to treat it. Based on the procedure and clinical outcomes, i) suggest which non-depolarising neuromuscular blocker was used and explain your reasoning, ii) explain how the non-depolarising neuromuscular blocker would facilitate mechanical ventilation by referring to physiological processes, iii) explain whether the reversal agent may cause peripheral or central side effects with at least one associated side effect other than already mentioned, and iv) explain how furosemide would treat his pulmonary oedema.
