Randall Pearson, a 48 year old male, presents to your primary care clinic in rural Philadelphia with complaints of severe back pain and weight loss. Upon taking a proper history you note he underwent extensive chemo and radiation for prostate cancer as well as a diagnosis of sickle cell disease at age 4. He reports a history of smoking, but he quit 2 months ago because "he was told he should" denies illicit drug use, but drinks 1 shot of whisky a night "to unwind after a long day." He worked at a coal mine from 15 years old up until last year when he got a promotion and now works onsite, but in an office. His new job is stressful and he thinks "all those years in the mine are catching up with him past few months" due to all that back pain he's been having, but is still surprised by how much weight he has been losing as well. He was adopted and knows nothing about his biological family history. As you listen to Mr. Pearson, you think back to your GU lecture in PA school and a lightbulb goes off for your top differential and you know for certain what diagnostic tool to use next before referring to GU, which is...

You are the genitourinary PA who is called to evaluate a 2-hour old male, who on newborn exam had what appeared to be "two urethra openings" and chordee, according to the labor and delivery nurse. Prior to seeing the patient, you are concerned he may have hypospadias from that description. Upon exam, the patient has a true urethra on the ventral side of the distal penile shaft and what appears to be another urethra in the normal position at the end of the glans. However, when you place a probe inside what appears to be a urethra at the end of the glans, you discover it is a blind-ending urethral pit. You do a pelvic ultrasound to rule out any other organ anomalies. You also note that both testicles are descended into their respective scrotal sacs. The penis has an abnormal curvature downwards. You enter the mother's room on the post-partum floor and discuss her son's diagnosis of hypospadias with her and her husband. They ask how this condition is treated, and if their son will still be able to be circumcised tomorrow. What is your response? A. The treatment of choice for this condition is a urethroplasty, which is an elective procedure. We often advise against circumcising the neonate until after the hypospadias repair, as the foreskin can be used for the reconstructive urethroplasty. B. The treatment of choice for this condition is a urethroplasty, which is an urgent and required procedure. It is necessary we do the procedure immediately because, with hypospadias, the patient does not have a functional urethra, and therefore is unable to empty his bladder. We often advise against circumcising the neonate until after the repair, as the foreskin can be used for the reconstructive urethroplasty. C. The treatment of choice for this condition is a urethroplasty, which is an elective procedure. We often encourage circumcision prior to the procedure, as it makes the urethroplasty much easier to do and lessens the risk of post-operative infection. D. The treatment of choice for this condition is a dilation, which is an elective procedure. We often advise against circumcising the neonate until after the hypospadias repair, as the foreskin can be used for the reconstructive procedure.

After performing your physical exam you note that she has no CVA tenderness. Her pelvic and abdominal exam are unremarkable including a negative obturator and iliopsoas sign. You order a quick beta hCG test to rule out pregnancy which comes back negative. Lastly, you order a urinalysis, urine culture, and a non-contrast CT of the abdomen and pelvis upon your suspicion of nephrolithiasis. CT comes back positive with evidence of a renal staghorn stone and her urine analysis showed that her urine pH=7.25.

The PA is concerned about bladder cancer, so urine cytology is performed and shows no evidence of dysplasia. The next day, a cystoscopy with hydrodistention reveals glomerulation and biopsy shows no evidence of dysplasia. What is the best initial treatment for this patient? A. Bactrim B. Modify diet, anticholinergic medication, and ibuprofen C. Cystectomy D. Anticholinergic medication and ibuprofen

A 39-year-old woman presents to the emergency room and says she is in labor. She says that she has not had any prenatal care since her first visit a little over 7 months ago, when they told her she was a month along. She said that she refused their request for her to stop smoking. She felt judged, so she didn't go back. After a further interview, you are able to estimate that she is 35 weeks along.
