Chief Complaint:68-year-old man who collapsed during exertion.
History:Roger Crockett, a 68-year-old man with a 40-pack-year smoking history and recent complaints of angina (sub-sternal chest pressure) upon exercising, collapsed while mowing his lawn. Paramedics arriving at the scene found him unconscious, not breathing, and without a pulse. CPR was successfully performed and Roger was transported to the hospital. An ECG was suggestive of an anterior wall myocardial infarction, and he was given an intravenous solution of tissue plasminogen activator (TPA). Elevated blood creatine phosphokinase (CPK) levels measured over the next 2 days confirmed the diagnosis. Coronary angiography was performed a week later, revealing the following results:
Circumflex artery: 20% blocked
Right coronary artery: 15% blocked
Left anterior descending artery (LAD): 95% blocked
(“Anterior intraventricular artery”)
Question 1: While listening to his heart with a stethoscope, you notice a high-pitched, blowing, systolic murmur, heard best directly under the left nipple. A review of Roger’s medical records shows no prior history of a heart murmur. What is causing this new murmur?
Question 2: Is the cause of the murmur in any way related to his heart attack? Explain.
Question 3: While listening to his breathing with a stethoscope, you hear some wheezing and inspiratory rales (“crackling noises”). Explain these findings.
Question 4: A chest X-ray taken two weeks after his collapse shows a markedly enlarged cardiac silhouette and generalized haziness at the bases of the lungs. A. Why is the heart enlarged? B. Why are the lungs “hazy” on chest X-ray?
Question 5: Roger is stabilized and ultimately discharged from the hospital. Three months after the heart attack, he comes back to his physician for a checkup. He complains of dyspnea (“shortness of breath”) at rest and difficulty breathing while lying down (“orthopnea”). He says he can only sleep when he is propped up by two large pillows. Why is he having these symptoms?
Question 6: What is the general name for Roger’s condition?
Question 7: Which term more accurately describes the stress placed upon Roger’s heart — increased pre-load or increased aferload? Increased pre-load or Increased afterload?
Question 8: Why does it help Roger to sleep with pillows under his head?
Question 9: What is creatine phosphokinase (CPK) and why are elevated CPK levels in the blood suggestive of a myocardial infarction (heart attack)?
Question 10: What is tissue plasminogen activator (TPA), what is it used for, and how does it work?
The prices that people pay for health care and higher education have grown very rapidly in the United States in recent decades (click on the linked words to see graphs showing this). In fact, compared to the income of the average American family (which has not grown very much), the costs of health care and college have skyrocketed. Of course, there are many reasons for this, some simple and others complicated. But for now, I want you to use what you have learned this week about supply and demand to make an educated guess about what’s going on. Explain why you think the prices of health care and education and growing so much and so fast? Think about the kinds of supply and demand curves that might exist in those markets, and about factors that may be shifting them.

consider whether the US in its origins and
governmental structure should be considered ‘democratic’. Start by defining
democracy, and then consider 2-3 specific criteria for determining whether the US
system of government meets this definition. Criteria that you might consider include
relations with first nations peoples, contexts/events/outcomes of revolutionary war,
federalist vs anti-federalist debate, relations with Mexico/Haiti, involuntary labor,
and chattel slavery. For this essay, you should make use of at least two
citations from course sources. BUT note that
only academic articles should be used. Here are some questions to consider as you
consider early US history:
– Make sure to clearly define the specific criteria of democracy, considering ancient
Greek origins and 18th century debates on the term
– What does the Declaration of Independence say about American democracy? What
about the Constitution by comparison? And what about the Bill of Rights?
– In the era of the revolutionary war, what forces worked for more democracy? What
forces worked for less democracy?
– How did the US compare, in democracy, with France, England, Mexico, or Haiti?
– In the structures of the US government, what structures encourage democracy?
What structures discourage democracy?

specific criteria for determining to what degree the US’s system is democratic or
not.
