Medical KnowledgeUnmarkedA 28 year-old black woman (gravida 3, para 2) is referred to you
because of an abnormal glucose tolerance test. Her previous pregnancies were uncomplicated, and the babies were healthy and of normal size at birth. A standard 50-gram glucose challenge was done in the 24th week of pregnancy; one-hour plasma glucose level was 155 mg/dL. She is not obese and has been in good health otherwise. Her mother has type 2 diabetes mellitus. A followup 100-gram, three-hour glucose tolerance test yields the following results:
Basal 110 mg/dLOne hour 190 mg/dL
Two hours 160 mg/dLThree hours 155 mg/dL
You advise exercise, appropriate diet, and home blood glucose monitoring. During the first week, results of home monitoring show fasting blood glucose levels between 100 and 115 mg/dL and postprandial levels between 140 and 160 mg/dL.

UnmarkedA 22-year-old male college student comes to your office following a syncopal episode that occurred during wrestling practice. He was unconscious for less than one minute, according to a coach. During the past year, he has had several episodes of lightheadedness with exertion. A heart murmur was detected when he was 10, and his younger brother also has a murmur. Pulse rate is 60 per minute, and blood pressure is 120/80mm Hg in both arms. Jugular venous pulses are normal. The apical impulse is in the fifth intercostal space at the midclavicular line; it is 3cm in diameter and has a presystolic component. Auscultatory findings at the upper left sternal edge are demonstrated in the model
The murmur is loudest at the mid-left sternal edge. Auscultatory findings are demonstrated
You perform the diagnostic maneuver shown

A 28 year-old man is evaluated by his general internist for an acute respiratory tract infection. The infection is the third of its kind in the last year. The patient has smoked at least one pack of cigarettes daily since high school.
After completing the physical examination, the physician prescribes treatment for bronchitis. Believing that the patient’s recurrent infections are related to his continued smoking, the physician decides to address the issue.
