Sample A is from a 35 year old male who visited his GP complaining of chest pain during exercise. An ECG taken at rest was normal but ischaemic changes developed on exercise. A family history revealed that his father died of a heart attack at the age of 45 years. The laboratory test results for his fasting blood sample were as follows:

Case 2

Steve is a member of the West Coast Eagles football team. During practice, he suffered a high impact collided with a team-mate and injured the anterior compartment of his thigh. As a result of the collision, his quadriceps femoris muscle were compressed against the femur, resulting in quadriceps contusion or ‘cork thigh’.

  1. Describe the gross anatomy of the [muscles, their attachments and actions and nerve supply] of the quadriceps [anterior] compartment of the thigh.

  1. Explain what happens to the muscle compartment following such injuries. [3 marks]

  1. Explain the signs and symptoms of such an injury.

  1. If severe or left untreated left untreated, this type of injury can result in compartment syndrome. Explain what is meant by compartment syndrome and outline the consequences of this condition.

  1. In severe injuries of this type, a condition known as myositis ossificans can occur. Explain the processes involved in the development of this condition, and the resulting consequences if left untreated.

  1. using the APA 7 style of referencing. Start your list of end-text references on a new page. The list of references should be left aligned. Use a hanging indent for each reference and follow APA style format for all reference

A 56 year old woman visited her family doctor for evaluation of a headache that had persisted for nearly a month. Upon questioning the patient, the doctor learned that her left arm, as she put it, "was a bit unwieldy, hard to control and weak." Through examination, the doctor determined that the entire left upper extremity was generally weak. He also found weakness, although less significant, of the left lower extremity. Sensation in the limbs seemed to be normal, although mild rigidity and hyperactive reflexes were present. Expressing concern, the doctor told the patient that she needed a CT scan of her head and explained that there could be a problem within the brain, possibly a tumor or other lesion. The doctor then picked up the phone and contacted a radiologist. After explaining the patient's case, the doctor remarked parenthetically that he believed he knew where the problem was located.

1) Why did the doctor suggest to the patient that there might be a problem within her brain when the symptoms were weakness of the extremities, and then just on one side of her body?

2) How would he know the location of the suspected brain tumor?

3) In which side of the brain and in which lobe would it be?

4) Explain the muscle weakness in terms of neuronal pathways from the brain to the periphery.

A young woman presents at the clinic six weeks after a gastric bypass surgery. She had more than 100 lbs. to lose and so far, has lost 40 lbs. She expected to gain some strength and begin exercising, but she is very weak. She states that at times she is too weak to even comb her hair. She eats small meals several times a day, but has watery diarrhea and is nauseated much of the time. She is losing her hair and is very discouraged. Explain how gastric bypass affects your ability to absorb and use nutrients. Include in your answer specific facts, data, examples,
