A19-year-old male who moved to your city 3 months ago comes to your office complaining of dry cough for the past 23 months. Along with the cough, he has had some shortness of breath with exertion. He denies fever, chills, nausea, vomiting, wheezing, and sneezing. The cough occurs mostly in the morning and improves as the day goes on. He denies similar complaints in the past and has no history of allergies. He says that his father had eczema and an allergy to eggs.The pulmonary function test that is most likely to be diagnostic in this patient is which of these?
Answer(s): D
This patient is manifesting symptoms consistent with asthma. With the history of recently moving to a new area, along with a family history of allergies and eczema, his asthma may be further classified as allergic asthma. Episodic symptoms of cough, dyspnea, and wheezing are likely to occur. The diagnosis of asthma is made by demonstrating reversible airway obstruction. Airway obstruction is likely to be manifested by a reduction in the FEV1. An increase in the FEV1 of 15% after the use of a bronchodilator is the definition of reversibility. A CXR is most likely to be normal. Numerous cardiac conditions, such as CHF, cardiomyopathies, or pericardial effusions, may result in cardiomegaly on a CXR. Diffuse infiltrates may be seen with infections, interstitial lung disease, or other conditions. Flattened diaphragms would be consistent with prolonged obstructive lung disease, such as emphysema.The treatment of choice for the prevention of symptoms in all stages of asthma other than mild intermittent is inhaled steroid. All patients with asthma should also have a short-acting bronchodilator for acute symptomatic relief. A leukotriene modifier would be an alternative recommendation and might be a good addition to an inhaled steroid, as they also have FDA indications for patients with allergic rhinitis.

A 63-year-old male presents to your office with palpitations for the past 3 weeks. He has had no chest pains or dyspnea. He has no significant medical history and takes no medications. He does not smoke cigarettes and a recent lipid panel was normal. On examination, he is in no apparent distress. His pulse is 115 bpm and irregular. His BP is 125/77. His lungs are clear and his cardiac examination reveals an irregularly irregular rhythm with no murmurs, rubs, or gallops. Which of the following is most likely to be found on an ECG?
Answer(s): C
Atrial fibrillation is the most common sustained clinical arrhythmia. It occurs in approximately 4% of the population over the age of 60. It is diagnosed by the presence of irregularly irregular QRS complexes on an ECG with an absence of P waves. The QRS complex is most commonly narrow, as this is a supraventricular arrhythmia. Wide QRS complexes can occur if there is an underlying conduction abnormality, such as Wolff-Parkinson-White syndrome or a bundle branch block. Saw- tooth Pwaves occur in atrial flutter, another atrial arrhythmia that may present similarly to atrial fibrillation but which is less common. The saw-tooth P waves, or flutter waves, are representative of an atrial rate typically in the range of 300350/minute.Not infrequently, atrial flutter will lead to atrial fibrillation. Q waves in II, III, and aVF would be seen if there had been a previous inferior MI. Peaked T waves are seen in certain conditions, such as hyperkalemia, but are not routinely associated with atrial fibrillation. Atrial fibrillation may be precipitated by both cardiac and noncardiac conditions. Among the noncardiac conditions are metabolic abnormalities, which include hyperthyroidism. Of the tests listed, a suppressed TSH level, consistent with hyperthyroidism, would be most likely to be causative of atrial fibrillation. Troponin may be elevated in acute myocardial ischemia. Atrial fibrillation can occur following a MI, particularly when complicated by CHF. This is not consistent with the clinical scenario presented. Renal disease and diabetes may contribute to some of the conditions that can predispose to the development of atrial fibrillation, such as metabolic derangements or CAD. Acute and chronic pulmonary disease may also precipitate atrial fibrillation. In the setting of a man who is otherwise healthy and without significant medical history, new-onset atrial fibrillation would be less likely to be the initial presentation of diabetes, renal failure, or pulmonary disease than hyperthyroidism. For this reason, choice A is the single best answer of those provided.

question 16 should be b (changing the connector settings on the monitor) pc and monitor were powered on. the lights on the pc are on indicating power. the monitor is showing an error text indicating that it is receiving power too. this is a clear sign of having the wrong input selected on the monitor. thus, the "connector setting" needs to be switched from hdmi to display port on the monitor so it receives the signal from the pc, or the other way around (display port to hdmi).
