Tully is a 75-year-old female who has an intellectual disability.
She enjoys art, reading and music. She is not overly social and tends to spend time alone privately completing recreational activities. She has been a smoker for 40 years and usually smokes up to 8—10 cigarettes a day. She is able to go for walks for short periods at a time only. Tully is sensitive to loud noises in the environment, which causes her to become quite anxious and stressed. Being anxious or stressed causes Tully to smoke more frequently through the day. Tully’s father passed away from lung cancer due to smoking when she was younger, so one of her goals is to cut back on smoking. She is hoping to smoke only 2 cigarettes per day.

Case 1
A hard working 38-year-old women who is working as a marathon coach for 15 years has been having mild dull ache at the back of her right ankle for the past 14 months but for the past few weeks the pain has become unbearable when she is training and experience an excruciating pain at the back of his right leg upt o to her ankle. She has been limping on the right foot since, and experiences frequent throbbing at the sore region. She goes to a doctor and been advised to use an anti-inflammatory drug known as cortisone, which have been helpful in reducing pain temporarily. Based on the case given,

2. What causes the disease?
3– 4. What are the other possible locations in the body where this disease could be seen?
5. What cell normally repairs this kind of condition?
Case 2
A 44-year old patient presented in our clinic with ongoing shoulder and arm pain for 3 years. He had noticed a painless tumor with feeling of pressure in his upper right arm for some months. Clinical examination showed a painless tumor on the right upper arm, starting lateral to the axillary fold expanding about 10 cm distally. Pathology showed multi vacuolated, granular cytoplasm with small central nuclei.
