A 70 kg 68 y/o male sees his cardiologist for a follow-up following his myocardial infarction 3 months earlier. He has been taking digoxin and Lisinopril^TM since his MI. At the follow-up, he complains of shortness of breath and has to sleep sitting up in his recliner. He also complains of fatigability and swelling of his ankles and hands. A physical examination finds that he has distended jugulars and pitting edema in the lower legs. His breathing was rapid 22 breaths/min) and rales were heard in the both sides at the base of the lungs. He does not have a fever, but his pulse is 116 bpm and his blood pressure is 110/80. The physician immediately admits him and orders a blood and urine analyses with the results as follows:

a) Calculate the volumes of ECF and ECV in this Px assuming the total body osmoles of the Px is 12 Osm. Do these volumes have any impact on the symptoms the Px is exhibiting and what is the cause of these changes (ie, what is the pathology)?

b)   How does this pathology alter the renal sodium handling in this Px and what are the mechanism(s) for developing hyponatremia?

c)   The physician orders an infusion of 2L of 3% saline with 40 mg of Lasix^® given twice a day for three days. Calculate how this treatment would impact the Px’s symptoms assuming the osmolarity of the urine dropped to 400 mOsm?

d) What are the renal mechanisms affected by this treatment. Does this treatment impact the Px’s hypokalemia? If so, why?

What is the chloride shift and why does it occur?

For each selected joint you should discuss:

• The anatomical features of the joint (What type of joint is it? What bones/bony structures are present? If relevant, what soft tissue structures are associated with the joint?)

• Movements that are possible at the joint (What types of movement are possible? What anatomical plane do those movements occur in?)

• An example of a complex motion that would require an action at that joint to happen (for example, if you chose “ankle joint” you might select “dorsiflexion of the foot” and you might use “releasing pressure from a gas pedal while driving” as a specific example)
