She went to the optometrist who recommended reading glasses with a small prism to correct double vision. She admits to some weaknesses as well. No other complaints of fevers, chills, URI, or UTI

PMH: non-contributory
PE: CN-IV palsy. The fundoscopic exam reveals edema of the right optic nerve causing optic neuritis. Positive nystagmus on positional maneuvers. There are left visual field deficits. There was short-term memory loss with a listing of familiar objects.

DIAGNOSIS: multiple sclerosis (MS).

Question:

Describe what is MS and how did it cause the above patient’s symptoms?

 Rheumatoid Arthritis

Rheumatoid Arthritis
A 48-year-old woman presents with a five-month history of generalized joint pain, stiffness, and swelling, especially in her hands. She states that these symptoms have made it difficult to grasp objects and has made caring for her grandchildren problematic. She admits to increased fatigue, but she thought it was due to her stressful job.
FH: Grandmothers had “crippling” arthritis.
PE: remarkable for bilateral ulnar deviation of her hands as well as soft, boggy proximal interphalangeal joints. The metatarsals of both of her feet also exhibited swelling and warmth.
Diagnosis: rheumatoid arthritis.

Question:

 Osteoporosis

Osteoporosis
A 78-year-old female was out walking her small dog when her dog suddenly tried to chase a rabbit and made her fall. She attempted to try and break her fall by putting her hand out and she landed on her outstretched hand. She immediately felt severe pain in her right wrist and noticed her wrist looked deformed. Her neighbor saw the fall and brought the woman to the local ER for evaluation. Radiographs revealed a Colles’ fracture (distal radius with dorsal displacement of fragments) as well as radiographic evidence of osteoporosis. A closed reduction of the fracture was successful, and she was placed in a posterior splint with ace bandage wrap and instructed to see an orthopedist for follow-up.

Question:
Discuss what is osteoporosis and how does it develop pathologically?

Philosophies of Women and People of various Cultures

Philosophies of Women and People of various Cultures

Many women have pushed back against these accusations and misogynistic views, sparking an intellectual revolution in the process. For a long time, philosophy was seen as a boy’s club, but with Simone de Beauvoir’s views, Harriet Taylor Mill, Hypatia of Alexandria, and others, that prejudice has been dispelled. A diverse perspective is sometimes required to make progress, and a fabulous idea can originate from anybody, anywhere.

Males have definitely controlled the philosophical discourse, Marjorie, especially in terms of whose voices were taken seriously. Men have long defined women as different and. often, less than. Are female philosophers caught within a “Catch 22”? Are they marginalized as long as their gender is highlighted, as long as they continue to be called “female philosophers” instead of just philosophers? Do we ever append male to the philosopher, or do we see that as the default?

Of course, this raises some very big issues about sex and gender, with sex being defined as biological differences between males and females and gender being described as the cultural constructs that the culture attachs to sex. And we often mistake one for the other, mistake cultural constructions for biological differences.

Ursula Le Guin’s classic, award-winning science fiction novel The Left Hand of Darkness imagines a world without gender. That world’s inhabitants are not just genderless, but sexless for most of the time (on a regular cycle they become one gender or the other, not always the same gender each cycle, during which they can have sex and even reproduce). What is particularly interesting is that the story is told from the perspective of a man from Earth. And he repeatedly misreads people on this planet (sometimes to his great detriment) because he cannot get past his own assumptions about gender.

This brings us back to the issue of universality here on Earth. Do we often mistake the male experience as the universal experience?

Perinatal Case – Hyperbilirubinemia

Perinatal Case – Hyperbilirubinemia

Perinatal Case Study – Maritzia
Escaping political persecution in El Salvador, Maritzia (28) and Carlos (26) recently
immigrated to Toronto two years ago as refugees. They have two children, aged four and two,
and Maritzia is expecting their third child. She is unsure how far along she is in her pregnancy.
They are presently living in the basement apartment of the brother of Carlos and his wife who
sponsored them to come to Canada. They were both able to obtain work permits from
Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC). Maritzia works shifts as a cashier at No Frills and Carlos works cleaning office buildings at night; both have a high school education. Maritzia speaks limited English but Carlos only speaks Spanish. She delivered her first two
babies in a public hospital in San Salvador where epidurals are not utilized for vaginal deliveries
because of the cost and belief that they are not good for the mother and baby. Maritzia states that
she would like to have a natural birth. She breastfed both children for 18 months.
During Maritzia’s pregnancy, she often suffered from swollen feet after working a shift. The
doctor at the clinic says that all her tests are normal as well as her weight gain but that they want
to watch her blood pressure and urine. They also told her at 35 weeks gestation, that she was
GBS positive and she was not immune to measles. As refugees, they were eligible for subsidized
daycare but since Carlos works long nights it is her responsibility for all the childcare, cooking, and house cleaning. Many nights she feels exhausted, she wishes she had more support but her
in-laws are just as busy working long hours as well.
At 38 weeks gestation, Maritzia started labor and baby Rodrigo was born weighing 2900 gms
after 15 hours of labor. Her delivery included an epidural, augmentation due to failure to
progress and vaginal delivery with failed forceps, vacuum extraction assistance, and 2nd degree
lacerations; the pages were 7 and 9. Rodrigo sustained bruises to his head on both temporal
areas.
During the first 24 hours, Rodrigo was sleepy and had a difficult time latching to the breast.
He was initially hypothermic with a temperature of 36 degrees Celsius but it quickly returned to
normal after skin-to-skin time with Maritzia. His discharge weight was 2700 gms and his skin
colour was slightly jaundiced. Prior to discharge, the nurse proceeded to test his bilirubin levels
and they were found to be slightly elevated but still within the normal range at 48 hours.
The day after discharge from the hospital Maritzia and Carlos brought Rodrigo back to the
hospital clinic with symptoms of lethargy, poor feeding, and increased jaundice. Rodrigo was
admitted to the hospital and Maritzia stays near him in the “care by parent” room.
