Overhaul Wave 1

A 34-year-old man presents to the clinic with a 6-month history of progressive exertional dyspnea and a mild, non-productive cough. He has no past medical history and has never smoked cigarettes. His father died of liver cirrhosis at age 42. Physical examination reveals decreased breath sounds bilaterally at the lung bases. High resolution CT of the chest demonstrates panacinar emphysema predominantly involving the lower lobes. A liver biopsy reveals hepatocytes containing intracellular, round, PAS-positive, diastase-resistant inclusions. ​Which of the following cellular processes is primarily responsible for the destruction of lung parenchyma in this patient?

A 64-year-old man presents to the emergency department with severe, tearing chest pain that radiates to his back. His blood pressure is 175/95 mmHg in the right arm and 140/80 mmHg in the left arm. A CT angiogram reveals a dissection of the descending thoracic aorta, originating distal to the left subclavian artery. The patient is immediately started on an intravenous infusion of nitroprusside. ​Shortly after the initiation of the infusion, a second medication is added to his regimen to prevent a reflexive physiological response that could worsen his aortic dissection. ​Which of the following best describes the cellular mechanism of action of the second medication added to this patient's regimen?

A 23-year-old G1P0 woman at 34 weeks gestation presents to the emergency department complaining of a sudden onset of severe, constant abdominal pain and dark vaginal bleeding. She notes that the fetal movements have decreased over the past few hours. Her prenatal course was complicated by chronic hypertension, for which she has been non-compliant with medications. ​On physical examination, her blood pressure is 165/105 mmHg, heart rate is 110/min, and she is afebrile. Obstetric examination reveals a rigid, exquisitely tender uterus. A digital vaginal exam is deferred, but speculum exam shows a moderate amount of dark blood in the vaginal vault. Transabdominal ultrasound reveals a viable fetus with a heart rate of 110/min and a retroplacental hyperechoic mass that does not flow on Doppler. ​Which of the following is the most likely primary pathophysiological mechanism underlying this patient's current condition?

A 64-year-old male presents to the emergency department with a 4-hour history of severe, tearing chest pain that radiates to his back. His medical history is significant for long-standing, poorly controlled hypertension. On physical examination, his blood pressure is 185/110 mm Hg in the right arm and 160/95 mm Hg in the left arm. A murmur of aortic insufficiency is heard at the right sternal border. ​While awaiting a CT angiogram, the patient suddenly becomes unresponsive. His blood pressure drops to 70/40 mm Hg, and his heart rate increases to 120 bpm. Jugular venous distension is noted. He is immediately intubated, and an emergent bedside transthoracic echocardiogram confirms a Stanford Type A aortic dissection that has retrogradely extended, causing cardiac tamponade. The patient is rushed to the operating room for emergency surgical repair. ​During the dissection of the aortic root to place a synthetic graft, the surgeon notes extensive structural damage to the middle layer of the aortic wall. Which of the following histopathological changes is most characteristic of the underlying process that predisposed this patient to his acute presentation? ​A. Transmural inflammation with giant cells and disruption of the internal elastic lamina B. Intimal tear with an atheromatous plaque containing a necrotic lipid core and calcification C. Smooth muscle cell loss, fragmentation of elastic fibers, and accumulation of basophilic ground substance D. Segmental transmural necrotizing inflammation with fibrinoid necrosis and neutrophilic infiltration E. Adventitial inflammation with plasma cell-rich infiltrates and obliterative endarteritis of the vasa vasorum

A 28-year-old woman presents with primary infertility for 2 years. She reports regular menstrual cycles every 28 days. Her partner has a normal semen analysis. She has no history of pelvic infections or surgeries. On evaluation: Basal body temperature shows a biphasic pattern Serum progesterone is elevated in the luteal phase Hysterosalpingography shows bilateral patent fallopian tubes Endometrial biopsy performed on day 26 shows proliferative-phase endometrium Which of the following is the most likely underlying cause of this patient’s infertility?

A 54-year-old man comes to the physician due to a 3-month history of a persistent skin rash, intermittent diarrhea, and unintentional weight loss. He also reports occasional lightheadedness and a racing heart. He has no significant past medical history and takes no medications. ​On physical examination, he appears thin. His vital signs are within normal limits. Skin examination reveals multiple erythematous, scaling plaques with central clearing and superficial crusting, primarily distributed across his lower abdomen, groin, and thighs. ​Laboratory studies demonstrate a mild normocytic anemia and a fasting blood glucose level of 142 mg/dL (Normal less than 100 mg/dL). An abdominal CT scan reveals a well-circumscribed, 3.5-cm mass in the tail of the pancreas.

A 48-year-old male presents to the clinic complaining of worsening fatigue, unintentional weight loss, and darkening of his skin over the past four months. He also mentions occasional abdominal pain and a craving for salty foods. On physical examination, there is noticeable hyperpigmentation of the palmar creases and buccal mucosa. Laboratory studies are significant for: ​Sodium: 131 mEq/L (Normal: 136–145) ​Potassium: 5.4 mEq/L (Normal: 3.5–5.0) ​Glucose: 68 mg/dL (Normal: 70–100) ​Morning Cortisol: 3 µg/dL (Normal: 5–23) ​ACTH: 240 pg/mL (Normal: 10–60) ​A rapid ACTH stimulation test is performed, and the cortisol level remains below 5 µg/dL after 60 minutes. The patient is started on physiological steroid replacement. ​Which of the following cellular changes is most likely to occur in the adrenal cortex of this patient if his condition resulted from an abrupt cessation of chronic, high-dose exogenous glucocorticoid therapy rather than a primary process?

A 52-year-old male presents with chronic, foul-smelling diarrhea and unintentional weight loss. He has a history of recurrent nephrolithiasis and was recently diagnosed with a "mildly elevated" serum calcium level. ​Physical examination shows epigastric tenderness. Upper endoscopy reveals multiple peptic ulcers in the stomach and proximal jejunum. Despite high-dose proton pump inhibitor (PPI) therapy, the ulcers persist. ​The physician performs a Secretin Stimulation Test. Following the administration of secretin, the patient’s serum gastrin level increases from 400 pg/mL to 850 pg/mL. Simultaneously, a stool study is conducted, showing a high fecal fat content and a significantly low stool pH. ​The Question ​Which of the following describes the most likely underlying molecular or cellular alteration in the cells responsible for this patient's gastric pathology?
