Question 5: An 86-year-old woman was brought to the emergency room after an alert from the neighborhood community when they noticed that the patient was unable to leave the building where she lives to go shopping. The patient reports that she tries to leave her home because she realizes that she must go shopping as she does not have food in the refrigerator to cook. She reported general malaise that same day. For a week, she said she noticed a strange sensation and was unable to remember the activities carried out during that time. The antecedents include hypertension drug treatment and being a carrier of a pacemaker due to bradyarrhythmia syndrome. A cranial computed tomography (CT) scan at admission revealed a subacute ischemic lesion in the anterior thalamus. Cranial MRI could not be performed because she was a pacemaker carrier. Which memory systems would be evidently affected? Working memory, episodic memory, semantic memory, skills, abilities, habits.

Case Study #4 A 65-year-old female who was a lifelong smoker visited her doctor because she was having difficulty breathing. This was nothing new but seemed to be getting worse. It was most difficult to exhale, but it helped if she pursed her lips. After her examination, her doctor prescribed an oxygen tank for her use at home and ordered the following tests: Test Normal Range Patient's Results FVC (Forced Vital Capacity) 2.07 L 1.8 L FEV1.0 (Forced Expiratory Volume in 1 sec) 1.7 L 0.9 L FEV% FEV1.0/FVC 77% 50% MVV (Maximum Voluntary Ventilation) 80-120 L/min 75 L/min FRC (Functional Residual Capacity) 2.4 L 3.0 L ERV (Expiratory Reserve Volume) 1.2 L 0.8 L RV (Residual Volume) 0.5 L 2.2 L Arterial Blood Gas PO2 = 95 mmHg PCO2 = 40 mmHg pH = 7.38-7.42 PO2 = 85 mmHg PCO2 = 46 mmHg pH = 7.39 ECG Mean Electrical Axis Between +110 to -20° +130° 1. What would be the specific diagnosis for this patient? 2. Which of the following test results above would support this diagnosis? List all that apply. 3. Explain why the RV in this patient has increased. 4. Why is this patient's Arterial Blood Gas measurement abnormal? Is it the increase in PCO2 or the decrease in PO2 that caused the change in her blood pH? Explain. 5. Does her heart have a normal Mean Electrical Axis? If it is abnormal, explain what led to this.
