In a study entitled Sleep Disorders in Children with Incidental
Pineal Cyst on MRI: A Pilot Study by Del Rosso, et al. involving
children aged 6–12 years, who were referred for evaluation of
headaches, tics, or syncope, and had an incidental pineal cyst on
an otherwise normal brain MRI, it was found out that school-age
children with pineal cysts have significantly increased levels of
sleepiness and difficulty with sleep initiation and maintenance
than those with normal MRI.
6. Describe the gross anatomy of the pineal gland.
7. Enumerate the different types of cell of the pineal gland.
8. In the study, propose a logical reason why children who have incidental finding of pineal cyst on brain MRI had significantly increased levels of sleepiness and difficulty with sleep initiation than those with normal MRI.

Case Study num33
Mrs. F has a history of mild heart problems, but she has been admitted to the medical-surgical floor for management of her liver failure. She is a white-haired woman in her sixties with a puffy face, overweight, and presents with yellowish skin and sclera, mild generalized edema (swelling), spider nevi (broken capillaries), high blood pressure, increased respiratory rate, and a heart rate of 59 bpm (normal is 60-100 bpm). When you ask whether she has noticed any changes lately, Mrs. F complains about dizziness and lightheadedness. She also mentions weight gain and that her slacks are too tight. She says “They told me this disease would interfere with my digesting lipid, so I thought I'd lose weight!”
1. How is the liver-related to lipid digestion?
2. Can you see any evidence that the liver is failing to perform this role in Mrs. F?
3. Mrs. F’s blood work has come back and shows that she has low plasma osmolarity and decreased levels of plasma proteins. The doctor says “this explains her edema!” How are plasma proteins related to edema?
4. Mrs. F has spider nevi, broken skin capillaries. Normally, broken skin capillaries do not cause visible blemishes, but hers are bleeding more than usual. Could this be due to her liver problems?
