Vinnie is a professional road cyclist participating in the 2020 Giro d’Italia, a three-week race nearly 3,600 km in distance with some stages exceeding altitudes of 2,700 m above sea level (i.e., Stelvio Pass, Italy). As the newly hired head of the high-performance team, it is your responsibility to manage his preparation for the event. You must demonstrate to your team a fundamental understanding of physiology, the chronic adaptations expected from his training, and methods that could be implemented to improve the likelihood of success.

Q7)

Given that the average distance of each leg is 170.5 km in distance, and sometimes undulating in elevation, you understand that fatigue is inevitable. The energy depletion model of fatigue focuses around the concept that depleted substrates are just one source of fatigue, particularly observed in muscle glycogen and phosphocreatine stores.  

  1. As an aerobic event, why do you expect depletion in glycogen and phosphocreatine?

Why, specifically, is it crucial to replenish muscle glycogen stores prior to the next leg?

Q8)

As the event is soon approaching, parts of Hungary are experiencing a heatwave. Indeed, temperatures may exceed 32° Celsius during the first leg of the race leaving Budapest.

  1. Will the ambient temperature have any impact on Vinnie’s performance?

In terms of thermoregulation, what physiological changes are likely to occur during this leg of the race? Explain how these changes may influence

A surgical technology student is being supervised by the CST preceptor during a Whipple procedure. The CST comments that the student will have learned several procedures by the time they are done with this case.

1. What does the CST mean by his statement to the student?

2. What are the different procedures that constitute a Whipple procedure?

3. Discuss the different instrument trays that will be used for this case.

4. What type and size of suture is typically used for a subcuticular closure? What type of needle do you anticipate would be used?

5. Which incision is used most commonly for emergency surgery? Which incision is least likely to have an incidence of incisional herniation but a greater chance of infection or nerve damage?
