it just depends

they didn’t specify on that question sadly

but i’m guessing it’s an internal capsule stroke

You definitely know more than me, but I just immediately thought stroke.

Studying Medicine with Beni

Alright

we have a 24 yo man and he’s an avid long distance runner who comes to use for “exercise eval” so like, we gonna make him run on a lil treadmil and see what’s up

he’s a lil worried about his health

his gradpa had a heartattack at 40 and had to go through a bypass surgery

so rn

his bp 122/70 (he’s normal)
Pulse is 49/min (low - normal is 60-100 beats per min)

This is what we know

also his right ventricular cavity is also a lil increased

so what do we think is going on

WELLLLLL

he has an athlete’s heart like @kristi

meaning there’s some adaptations that are normal - such as his Left heart being a lil bigger

here’s the educational objective

Okay now

we gots a 25 yo old pregnant woman who had a stillbirth at 18 weeks. Her only symptoms during her pregnancy was PAIN IN BOTH KNEES AND FEET. this lasted like a week and went away and the woman was like “nah it’s just my weight gain, nothing to worry about” (oop she was wrong). Now we’re looking at the fetal autopsy and we see pleural effusion, pulmonary hypoplasia, and ascities

what’s up?

wellll she caught parvovirus which is a single stranded dna virus that has an ICNREASED incidence in children and teachers because it usually spreads in school infections (@Madilfill miss nelson be careful)

What tells us it’s parvovirus? She had pain in her knees and her baby had hydrops.

no no

Hydrops fetalis — or hydrops - condition in which large amounts of fluid build up in a baby’s tissues and organs, causing extensive swelling (edema)

hydrocephalis is a neurological disorder caused by an abnormal buildup of cerebrospinal fluid in the ventricles deep within the brain
