There аre FIVE questiоns frоm which yоu аre required to аnswer only THREE; any additional answers will not be marked. All questions are weighted equally, and worth a maximum of 100% each. There are 3 answer boxes below this box. Each answer box MUST be used to answer one of the questions you select. Please also remember to tell us which question you are answering. See the example below: 'This is my answer to Question 1...' Questions are as followed: Question 1) A 65-year-old male patient is admitted to the hospital with confusion and fatigue. He has a history of small cell lung cancer. The following laboratory results are obtained: Interpret these electrolyte and osmolality results to provide a likely diagnosis and explain the biochemical mechanisms involved (40%). Describe the methods used to collect this data (40%) and discuss potential pre-analytical and analytical factors that could impact accuracy of the results (20%). Question 2) You are presented with the following arterial blood gas (ABG) data from a patient with an anion gap of 20.1 mEq/L: Determine the primary acid-base disorder and any respiratory impairments based on the blood gas data above, providing an explanation of the biochemical mechanisms underlying the observed changes (30%). Explain each disorder of acid/base status giving examples of the causes that could disrupt arterial blood gas levels in each case (40%). Explain and evaluate the biochemical testing methods used to perform arterial blood gas analysis (30%). Question 3) A 42-year-old woman attends a GP clinic reporting symptoms of heat intolerance, weight loss, tremors, and increased heart rate. On inspection, she has an enlarged, palpable thyroid gland. Using this clinical information and the thyroid function test results below, identify the type of thyroid disorder present in this patient (10%), and explain the biochemical mechanisms underlying the observed thyroid hormone levels (40%). Described any additional tests that might be performed to confirm a diagnosis and distinguish this case from other thyroid disorders (30%). Discuss the clinical symptoms associated with thyroid disease generally and outline any treatment options that may be used to manage these conditions (20%). Question 4) Use the following clinical and biomarker data provided for two patients with melanoma to assess the risk of tumour progression (20%). Discuss the relevance of these and any other biomarkers of melanoma you might be aware of for the screening, diagnosis, prognosis, stratification and monitoring of melanoma (50%). Propose a potential management plan for each patient based on the data provided (30%). Question 5) A 30-year-old woman presents to the emergency department 10 hours after ingesting 20 grams of paracetamol in an apparent suicide attempt. She complains of nausea and abdominal pain. Interpret the biochemical results and clinical observations above in the context of paracetamol toxicity (40%) and discuss a potential management plan for this patient (10%). Explain the clinical pathophysiology, biochemical features of poisoning and methods of analysis for one of the major drugs of abuse (50%).
