The prolonged PT and APTT correct in a mix with normal plasma.
A 10-day-old baby, previously well, breast fed and born
at home is found by his parents unconscious and bleeding from mouth
and gums. The only history of note is that the mother had had a
major post-partum haemorrhage and had required emergency admission
to hospital.

Discussion Question : Describe one physical, chemical, biological or psycho-social stress hazard that workers can be exposed to on the job, and one strategy that can be implemented to prevent or reduce the exposure. Why is it important for primary healthcare providers, (physicians, nurse practitioners, and physician assistants) to ask patients about their occupation when performing routine physical exams?

Mr. V is a 55-year-old alcoholic who checked into a clinic, complaining that he has been experiencing a persistent cough and feeling more fatigued, nauseous, and irritable. In addition, he is experiencing more frequent memory lapses. His stomach is distended, but on palpation, his liver is small in size and firm, indicating cirrhosis. Lab tests indicate a decrease in hemoglobin, albumin, levels with elevated serum bilirubin and ammonia levels.
a) Provide a specific rationale for each of Mr. V’s manifestations and blood values.
b) what is the prognosis?

At the peak of an action potential, the membrane potential of a human motor neuron reaches about +30mV. What value for “alpha”, the ratio of PNa/PK, allows this to occur. Use an online calculator/simulation to find a value for alpha that approximates what happens to reach this membrane potential, and write out the entire GHK equation (the version with just sodium and potassium) that can produce this membrane potential, including normal ion concentrations and temperature.
