•Bonnie is 36 weeks and her physician is concerned that the fetus is showing signs of distress.  She orders a “lung profile” which consists of determining the L/S ratio and measuring the percent phosphatidylglycerol (PG) on amniotic fluid.  The results are:

•L/S ratio = 1.0

•PG ratio = 0.3%

1.What is the interpretation of these test results?

Endocrine Case Histories - Case 29

A 50-year-old male had a total thyroidectomy followed by thyroid hormone-replacement therapy. Thirty-six hours later he developed laryngeal spasms, a mild tetany, and cramps in the muscles of the hands and arms. The following tests were performed:

Urine calcium 20 mg/dL
Urine phosphorus 0.1 g/day Plasma calcium 7.0 mg/dL Plasma phosphorus 5.0 mg/dL

Calcium gluconate and vitamin D (calcitriol) were given orally each day and the tetany and laryngeal spasms were alleviated.

1. Discuss this patient’ blood values.

2. What endocrine gland’s functions are impaired in this case?

3. What endocrine disorder is present in this person?

4. What is the purpose of vitamin D administration with the calcium?

5. What caused the tetany and laryngeal spasms?

6. Describe how blood calcium is normally maintained at its physiological level.

7. Does this patient require hormone replacement for this new condition?
Discuss what could possibly happen if he were not treated with this hormone.

8. List all essential hormones.

Answer the following questions (please cite your textbook or other reference you use, no wikis please)
1. Skeletal muscle cells produce glucose carriers (GLUT 4 transporters). Rather then having these transporters continually on their surface, they store them inside vesicles within the cell. During exercise (muscular contraction), these vesicles fuse with the plasma membrane of the cell, inserting the transporters into the membrane. This allows glucose to enter the cell by passive transport. Which of the factors that affect simple diffusion has been altered in this example?
2. Recall the chemiosomotic synthesis of ATP occurring inside the mitochondria. Would you expect to measure an electrical potential across the inner membrane of the mitochondria when chemiosmosis is active? Why or why not? If so, which compartment in the mitochondria would have a more positive charge?

Please answer the specific questions no need for additional information.
