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 that osteoarthritis
occurs when cartilage that cushions the end
of bones gradually wears down over time.
(associated with Osteoarthritis instead of Bouchard nodes
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 chronic osteoarthritis
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 joint rheumatoid arthritis
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.

VEGETATION SHOWN ON AN ECHO
A 35-year-old man with a history of ENDOCARDITIS

chills, and fatigue. On exam, he has a new

on the palms and soles (Janeway lesions).
Blood cultures are positive for
Staphylococcus aureus.

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.

blockage of a coronary artery
A 70-year-old woman is admitted with type 2 MI (myocardial infarction)
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
