Yоu аnd yоur AEMT pаrtner аre dispatched alоng with a BLS engine company for a male who is unconscious. You arrive at a farm to find a patient lying supine next to the barn. One of the farm hands informs you that they were spraying pesticides earlier in the day and the patient hadn't been feeling well since doing so. The patient is pale, diaphoretic, has copious amounts of saliva coming from his mouth, is crying, had urinated and defecated himself, vomited, and has pinpoint pupils. His vitals are found below. What is your differential diagnosis?
Renаtа is а 19-year-оld cоllege student whо was recently diagnosed with Type 1 Diabetes Mellitus. Before her diagnosis, her blood glucose was repeatedly above 300 mg/dL (normal 80-120 mg/dL), she was constantly thirsty, she was urinating frequently, and she had an unintentional 12-pound weight loss. During her annual wellness exam, she is diagnosed with an autoimmune disorder targeting the insulin-producing cells in her pancreas. Laboratory testing shows antibodies against her pancreatic islet cells and a very low C-peptide level, which is a marker of the insulin her own pancreas produces. Carefully evaluate each part of the short-response questions using the case information provided above, and ensure that every component is fully answered. (a) Using your knowledge of feedback loops and homeostasis, explain what normally happens to blood glucose after a meal. Name the sensing cells, the hormone, and the effector tissues, and identify which component of the loop has failed in Renata. Then state what her low C-peptide level tells you, and why that result distinguishes her condition from insulin resistance. (10 points) (b) At the cellular level, explain why Renata's cells are starving despite the high concentration of glucose in her blood. Name the type of membrane transport glucose uses to enter muscle and adipose cells, name the transporter involved, and explain why that process fails without insulin. (6 points) (c) Renata's physician notes that her body has been breaking down fat and muscle for fuel. Explain why this happens, name the pathway that converts fatty acids into a form that can enter the Krebs cycle, and explain how this accounts for her weight loss. Include what else that pathway produces when it runs at a high rate for a prolonged period, and why that matters clinically. (10 points)
