May's Anatomy with May (Yazdi) Chewning

A 65-year-old African-American woman presented to the emergency room complaining of worsening shortness of breath and palpitations for about 1 week. She reports feeling "dizzy" on and off for the past year; the dizziness is associated with weakness that has been worsening for the past month. She has been feeling "too tired" to even walk to her backyard and water her flower bed that she used to do "all the time." She has been so dyspneic walking up the stairs at her home that she moved downstairs to the guest room about a week ago. Review of systems is significant for knee pain, for which she frequently takes aspirin or ibuprofen; otherwise the review of systems is negative. She has no significant medical history and has not been to a doctor in several years.

She had a normal well-woman examination and screening colonoscopy about 5 years ago. She occasionally has an alcoholic drink and denies tobacco or drug use. She is married and is a retired shopkeeper. On examination, her blood pressure is 150/85 mm Hg; her pulse is 98 beats/min; her respiratory rate is 20 breaths/min; her temperature is 98.7 degrees; and her oxygen saturation is 99% on room air. Significant findings on examination include conjunctival pallor, milk tenderness with deep palpation in the epigastric and left upper quadrant region of the abdomen with normal bowel sounds, and no organomegaly but positive stool guaiac test. The remainder of the examination, including respiratory, cardiovascular, and nervous systems, was normal.

Be sure to listen until the end when I will be presenting four questions with multiple choice answers and check back on Friday to the May's Anatomy Podcast instagram page for the answers!

A 16-year-old adolescent girl presents to your office with the complaint of greenish vaginal discharge for the past two months and the recent onset of lower abdominal pain. She reports that her last period was about two and a half months ago. She is sexually active with two partners and has never used a condom or any other contraception with either. On physical examination, she is not febrile with normal blood pressure and pulse. She has greenish discharge from the cervix with friability and cervicitis. There is no cervical motion tenderness. Her urine pregnancy test is positive. A cervical sample is positive for chlamydia and negative for Neisseria gonorrhoeae. Her rapid plasma reagin (RPR) is non-reactive and an HIV test is negative.

The patient is treated with appropriate antibiotics and counseled concerning safer sex practices. You also inform the patient regarding her risk for HIV conversion, even though today's test was negative. The patient asks if you are going to tell her mother that she is pregnant and has this infection. You inform the patient that because of patient confidentiality and ethical considerations you will not disclose this information to her mother without her consent. She tells you that she does not want her mother and boyfriends to know that she is infected.

A 55-year-old man comes into your office for follow-up of a chronic cough. He also complains of shortness of breath with activity. He reports that this has been getting worse over time. As you are interviewing the patient, you note that he smells of cigarette smoke. Upon further questioning, he reports smoking one pack of cigarettes per day for the past 35 years and denies ever being advised to quit. On examination, he is in no respiratory distress at rest, his vital signs are normal, and he has no obvious signs of cyanosis. His pulmonary examination is notable for reduced air movement and faint expiratory wheezing on auscultation.
