,most common form of ALS that SPORADIC ALS
occurs randomly without a known
genetic cause or family history
A 60-year-old man presents with Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS)
progressive muscle weakness. He
reports difficulty walking, muscle
twitching, and recent trouble
swallowing. On exam, he has both
upper motor neuron signs (e.g.,
hyperreflexia, spasticity) and lower
motor
neuron signs (e.g., muscle
atrophy, fasciculations). Sensation
remains intact.
chronic degenerative joint disease osteoarthritis
that occurs when cartilage that
cushions the end of bones gradually
wears down over time.
(associated with Osteoarthritis Bouchard nodes
instead of RA) and
Heberden nodes
Enlargement and bulging of a joint
contour, commonly described as
swelling, are attributed to the
thickening of the subchondral bone
from the proliferation of osteophytes
around the margins of the joint and
hypertrophy in the joint capsule.
A 68-year-old woman complains of osteoarthritis
chronic knee pain that worsens with
activity and improves with rest. On
examination, there is bony
enlargement of the distal
interphalangeal joints (Heberden's
nodes) and crepitus in the knees.
There is no warmth or significant
swelling.
chronic autoimmune disease where the rheumatoid arthritis
immune system mistakenly attacks the
synovium causing inflammation, pain,
and joint damage.
A 45-year-old woman presents with rheumatoid arthritis
joint pain and stiffness in her hands
and wrists.
She reports the stiffness is worst in
the morning and lasts for over an
hour. On exam, there is swelling,
tenderness, and limited range of
motion in the
metacarpophalangeal (MCP) and
proximal interphalangeal (PIP)
,joints bilaterally. Lab results show
positive rheumatoid factor (RF) and
anti-CCP antibodies.

heart valves.

other germs (tooth decay)

VEGETATION SHOWN ON AN ECHO
A 35-year-old man with a history of ENDOCARDITIS
intravenous drug use presents with
fever, chills, and fatigue. On exam,
he has a new systolic murmur and
small, painless lesions on the palms
and soles (Janeway lesions). Blood
cultures are positive for
Staphylococcus aureus.

**OCCLUSION OF CORONARY ATERY
A 58-year-old man presents to the MI (myocardial infarction)
emergency department with crushing
chest pain radiating to his left arm,
shortness of breath, and nausea. He
is diaphoretic. ECG shows ST-segment
elevations in leads II, III, and aVF.
Troponin levels are elevated.
occurs when there is a mismatch type 2 MI (myocardial infarction)
between oxygen supply and demand
in the heart leading to ischemia (lack
of oxygen) and heart muscle damage
but without a direct blockage of a
coronary artery
A 70-year-old woman is admitted type 2 MI (myocardial infarction)
with sepsis from a urinary tract
infection. She develops chest
discomfort and shortness of breath.
Troponin levels are elevated, but ECG
shows no ST-segment elevations.
Coronary angiography reveals no
significant obstructive coronary
artery disease
