13) Electrophysiologists conduct a study in which they record the membrane potential changes of cardiac cells while exposing them to various agents. A tracing from one of the experiments is shown below.

Which of the following substances was most likely applied to the cells at the point indicated by the arrow?

29) A 65-year-old man comes to the office to follow up for advanced prostate cancer with bone metastases. He has been treated with a gonadotropin-releasing hormone agonist for the last 4 months.

With treatment, the patients bone pains have subsided significantly, but he now reports discomfort at the anterior chest wall. Physical examination shows bilateral, mildly tender enlargement of the breast tissue behind the nipple-areolar complex.

A cut of this patient's abdominal CT at the level of L2 is shown in the image below. The filter will most likely be placed in which of the following structures?

a) A b) B c) C d) D e) E

A) Squamous cell carcinoma b) Adenocarcinoma c) Mesothelioma E) Small cell carcinoma F) Large cell carcinoma

b) Adenocarcinoma

which of the following factors contributed to this patient's current condition? a) atherosclerosis b) Fluid overload c) Hypercoagulability d) Infectious vasculitis e) Intimal tear f) Noninfectious vasculitis g) Pulmonary bleb rupture h) Pulmonary metastasis

c) Hypercoagulability Diagnosis: Pulmonary embolism is due to *Hypercoagulability*

which of the following parameters is most likely to increase as a result of this change? a) End-diastolic pressure b) End-systolic volume c) Stroke volume d) Ventricular afterload e) Ventricular preload

c) Stroke volume

which of the embryologic layers does this woman's lesion most likely originate? a) Endoderm b) Mesoderm c) Neural crest d) Neural tube e) Notochord f) Surface ectoderm

f) Surface ectoderm **Prolactinoma**

*e) Alveolar fluid rick in neutrophils* is WRONG because here we do NOT have an infection so *NO neutrophils* will be involved.

here we have *Heart failure*. Neutrophils means exudate. in Heart failure we do NOT have *exudate* because there is NO infection. we ONLY have *Transudate* in heart failure.

Whenever there is an occlusion, *Dipyridamole* will cause *Coronary steel phenomenon*. Dipyridamole is a arteriolar *vasodilator*.

in Non-ischemic areas, *Dipyridamole*, will increase arteriolar vasodilation. Blood supply will get reduced in ischemic areas. Therefore this will aggravate the hypo perfusion and ischemia.

28) A 63-year-old man comes to the emergency department due to sudden-onset shortness of breath. He has a history of recurrent gastrointestinal hemorrhage and was discharged from the hospital 4 days ago following a prolonged admission for diverticular bleeding requiring

multiple blood transfusions. The patient's pulse oximetry shows 94% on room air. Evaluation shows deep venous thrombosis and pulmonary embolism. A filter placement is planned to prevent further embolization.
