Anybody want a peanut? Andre the Giant had gigantism AND acromegaly from a somatotrophic pituitary adenoma. What does a somatotrophic pituitary adenoma do to growth hormone secretion (1 pts)? What specifically occurs on a cellular/physiological level to cause the symptoms of heightened stature, large hands, large feet, large jaw, large internal organs, and increased blood sugar (4 pts)? Which symptom is not associated with acromegaly (1 pts)? What other disorder often occurs alongside gigantism and acromegaly due to the symptom of increased blood sugar (1pts)? What are the two possible courses of treatment for these conditions (2 pts)? (FYI Andre refused treatment to continue his career in wrestling). 1 pts for essay formatting, grammar, spelling.

A 47 y/o male sees his physician complaining of shortness of breath, weakness and light-headedness. Px history shows that he had a ‘heart murmur’ during childhood. The physician notes that the Px has an irregular heartbeat with palpitations with active pulsing seen in the neck and pitting edema in the lower extremities. The physician refers the Px to the cardiovascular unit where he undergoes a chest X-ray, an ECG, an echocardiogram and finally a cardiac catherization where it is found he has regurgitation of the tricuspid valve. The Px undergoes a successful operation to replace the damaged valve with a bioprosthetic valve. However, 11 days after the operation, the Px has the same symptoms prior to surgery, but this time he is spiking a fever.

Based on these observations, what would your diagnosis be?

What further tests would you run to support your diagnosis?
