56 year old lady who was first referred to the
hospital complaining of low back pain radiating to the left leg.
She noted that her left leg had been more swollen than usual below
the knees for the past 4 months, she felt tired all the time and
said he muscles felt tender. investigators at this time showed a
raised serum calcium (2.73mmol/l) and decreased serum albumin
(28g/l). the patient was found to have proteinuria. urinalysis and
electrophoresis showed a monoclonal igG band-this is one of the
characteristics findings of myeloma. additional investigation
showed a proteinuria of 11g/25hrs and decreased creatinine
clearance.
-JVP raised
-Oedema of legs and abdominal wall noted.
-pericardial rub present plus other signs suggesting a right
pleural effusion.
Investigation:
-chest x-ray confirmed right sided pleural effusion.
-Echocardiography showed moderate left ventricular hypertrophy with
poor left ventricle function.
Patient became acutely I'll with hypotension (systolic BP 50mmHg).
Patient suffered cardiac arrest afterwords, she was resuscitated,
transferred to ICU where she had another cardia arrest from which
she could not be resuscitated.
-What do you think the cause of death was?
-What were the signs and symptoms?

Question: A child with severe attack of bronchial asthma treated with intramuscular injection of adrenalin. His shortness of breath improved, but he developed increased heart rate and pale skin, explain why this medication improved his asthma, and why and how he developed these side effects? What type of medication do you recommend to use instead of adrenalin to have less side effects?

Criteria for Success: To be successful you will make sure you complete diagrams in a concise manner that clearly explains or represents the anatomy and physiological responses. You also need to make sure to list or provide explanation where necessary or where it is asked in the tasks. A successful submission would be one that covers all questions for each scenarios and while you may need to do some extra research outside of canvas, please do not bring research level diagnostics to these answers. I am looking for your critical analysis of the situation based on what I would expect you to cover in this course.
Case Studies Tasks:
Pauline - Pauline is a middle aged, obese women. She recently began having severe soreness in her abdomen and a lot of nausea. Pauline visited a specialist and the Doctor is leaning towards the diagnosis of pancreatitis due to a blockage. Pauline also happens to consume a diet that is low in protein and high in fat content.
Anthony - Anthony lives in Western Washington and is currently staying at home due to Covid-19 Stay Home Stay Safe Order (he does not have the virus). Over the last couple weeks Antonio has experienced increased stress, fatigue, cravings for foods heavy in carbohydrates and fat, and a feeling of despair. Normally Anthony loves to exercise, socialize, and have fun, but lately he is much more likely to just lay down and sleep. His body feels heavy and lethargic and he has little motivation to go outside. Anthony has lived in Western WA for the past 14 months and prior to that he lived in California.
Jeffrey - Jeffrey recently decided he was going to change his eating habits and try to lose a significant amount of weight in a short amount of time. Jeff has chosen to decrease his carbohydrate intake to 2 grams/day, decrease his fat intake to near 0, and consume primarily proteins. Concerning Jeffrey, answer the following questions:

In the event of a lacerated femoral artery, the rapid loss in blood volume causes a precipitous decline in blood pressure. Describe in detail—from the local/cellular level all the way up to the systemic level—each of the steps both the heart and the kidneys will take to counter this loss in pressure and the downstream effects of each of these steps. Furthermore, many smaller local blood vessels will also be ruptured by the laceration. Describe in detail how these vessels, and the blood flowing into them, will act to limit blood loss.
