Case study
8-year old girl with recurrent infections caused by Streptococcus pyogenes and Hemophilus influenza was admitted to the hospital following a 5-day sinus infection. Her mother noted that she had developed a productive cough and high fever. Her white blood cell count was 3200/ul (normal count 5000-9000/ul). 25% percent of her white cells were neutrophils (very low), 40% were lymphocytes (normal), and 29% were monocytes (elevated, normal 2 to 8%). A serum test revealed that her IgG level was 35 mg/dl (normal 600-1500 mg/dl), IgA was undetectable (normal 150-225 mg/dl) and her IgM level was 210 mg/dl (normal 75-150 mg/dl). A flow cytometric analysis of her peripheral blood cells revealed that all of her B cells were IgM+, IgD+.
1. Explain the fact the all patient’s B cells were IgM+, IgD+.

A 67 year old man dies after a routine operation for hernia repair. He was an ex-coalminer. He post-operatively developed pneumonia. Despite intensive treatment and eventually artificial ventilation, he died with major lung problems.
An autopsy was requested and the family was keen to know the results of the procedure.
The pathologist discussed the case with the intensive care specialists and it was agreed that the crucial question was the presence or absence of significant lung pathology, and whether there was evidence of recent or pre-existing industrial lung disease.
The pathologist said it would be best to remove the complete lungs intact and perfuse them with fixative before examination, as this would be the best way of ensuring no significant pathology was missed. He also wanted the examination of the lungs to be done by a different specialist. She worked in another hospital. He estimated that this would take up to three weeks.
4a) How should this proceed?
4b) Do the lungs really have to be retained? Explain your answer
4c) If the lungs are retained how would you subsequently dispose of them?

The lymphatic system includes our bodies' defenses against infections. AIDS, Leukemia, many autoimmune disorders, and allergies are all manifestations of a breakdown in the normal functioning of the lymphatic system. Find an online source that helps to explain how these diseases interact with the lymphatic system mechanisms. Provide the link and a brief summary of fewer than 250 words. Then, read at least two classmates' posts. What questions are you still wondering about after reading the summary they posted?

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.
QUESTION: Our liver has numerous important bodily functions. Explain the importance of the liver by describing a minimum of 4 of the liver's functions.

If a patient was diagnosed with Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease before death and the autopsy reveals that the deceased patient had Gerstmann-Straussler-Scheinker disease, then what does this mean about the patient? Were they misdiagnosed or is it possible to have both? Could these diseases be present in the children and family members of the deceased patient?
