A 65-year-old man is diagnosed with the syndrome of inappropriate ADH secretion (SIADH) in the setting of small cell lung cancer. To treat his SIADH, the patient is started on drug X. He soon begins producing large quantities of dilute urine and drinking copious amounts of water. Despite fluid restriction, the patient continues to produce dilute urine. Laboratory tests reveal an increased serum ADH level, serum hyperosmolarity, and hypernatremia.
Drug X might also be used to treat which of the following?
a) Acute gouty arthritis
b) Conn's disease
c)Enuresis
d) Lyme disease
e) Pheochromocytoma
A 53-year-old woman calls her primary care physician because she wants to begin hormone replacement therapy (HRT). She has read that estrogen replacement therapy is supposed to ease the transition to a postmenopausal state, and that HRT can be cardioprotective, decrease cancer risk, and promote healthy bones.
Which of the following is an indication for this woman to start HRT?
a) To decrease the risk of breast cancer
b) to decrease the risk of DVT and stroke
c) to decrease the risk of mycardial infraction
d) to decrease the risk of osteoporosis
e) to treat vasomotor symptoms
A 37-year-old man presents to the emergency department (ED) with difficulty breathing. He notes that he has been feeling worse over the past few days, but he woke up this morning gasping for breath. He also complains of a productive cough, which he suspects is preventing him from breathing better. On physical examination, bilateral rales and rhonchi are heard upon auscultation of the lungs. X-ray of the chest is ordered, and shows diffuse interstitial infiltrates. Sputum samples confirm a diagnosis of Pneumocystis jiroveci pneumonia. Additionally, HIV tests come back positive. He is placed on several antiretroviral medications to manage his condition. Several weeks later, he returns to his physician for a routine complete blood cell count, which is normal except for a platelet count of 80,000/mm³. His physician suspects that this laboratory finding is caused by one of his HIV medications, which acts by blocking protease in progeny virions.
What medication could have caused his thrombocytopenia?
a) Didansoine
b)Enfuvirtide
c)Indinavir
d)Saquinavir
e)Zidovudine
