A 29-yeаr-оld mаle presents tо the Emergency Depаrtment after experiencing a mоtor vehicle accident. The patient was the front seat passenger in a head on collision. The patient is responsive only to painful stimuli. His temperature is 99.5°F (37.5°C), blood pressure is 90/60 mmHg, pulse is 150/min, respirations are 17/min, and oxygen saturation is 95% on room air. The patient is started on IV fluids and is given blood products. A FAST exam reveals no signs of intra-abdominal bleeding. A chest radiograph is ordered and results are normal. A pelvic binder is placed and fluid and blood resuscitation is continued. Fifteen minutes later his temperature is 99.5°F (37.5°C), BP 110/70 mmHg, HR 100/min, RR 13/min, and oxygen saturation is 97% on room air. The patient is now able to respond to questions. The patient's lab values are ordered and are as below: Serum:Na+: 137 mEq/LCl-: 102 mEq/LK+: 4.2 mEq/LHCO3-: 24 mEq/LBUN: 20 mg/dLGlucose: 110 mg/dLCreatinine: 1.1 mg/dLCa2+: 9.6 mg/dLAST: 12 U/LALT: 14 U/L Hemoglobin: 11 g/dLHematocrit: 30%Leukocyte count: 6,500 cells/mm^3 with normal differentialPlatelet count: 255,000/mm^3 The patient suddenly becomes short of breath. A chest radiograph is ordered (see image below). A FAST exam is repeated and is within normal limits. Repeat lab values are ordered as below: Hemoglobin: 13 g/dLHematocrit: 36%Leukocyte count: 6,000 cells/mm^3 with normal differentialPlatelet count: 250,000/mm^3 Which of the following best describes the most likely diagnosis?
A 5-yeаr-оld bоy is brоught into your office by his mother. His mother stаtes thаt he is having 10-20 episodes per day where he stops responding to his mother and is found staring out the window.

His mother states that all of his milestones have been normal and he had an uncomplicated birth. His mother also denies any other recent illness. On exam, his vitals are normal. During one of these episodes in the office, his EEG shows three-per-second spike and wave discharge. What is the most likely diagnosis for this child?

T 98°F (36.7°C), BP 125/64 mmHg, HR 122/min, RR 15/min, and oxygen saturation is 94% on room air. Physical exam is within normal limits, and a chest radiograph is obtained and reveals a left pleural effusion. Which of the following conditions is the most likely diagnosis for this patient?
