Which of the following statements accurately describes stable angina?
A. Precipitated by exertion, cold, or stress and lasts 15 minutes
B. Tearing or ripping pain
C. May radiate to the epigastric area
D. Relieved by intake of food or antacids
E. chest pain associated with dyspnea
C. May radiate to the epigastric area
Stable angina lasts only 2-10 minutes, relieved by rest and although uncommon, chest pain due to angina may radiate to the epigastric area; Tearing or ripping pain is acute aortic dissection; relieved by intake of food or antacids is peptic ulcer disease presenting as chest pain; if with associated dyspnea- it can be pneumonia, pulmonary embolism pneumothorax.

starting one week prior to consult. 2 days PTA, patient had noticed a decreased urine output and decreasing sensorium. Radiographs were taken and shows diffuse osteopenia. An impression of multiple myeloma was made.

C. Urine M protein
D. Both B and C
E. All are correct.
E. All are correct.
Diagnosis: Multiple Myeloma
Bone marrow aspirate, Serum M protein, Urine M protein
Laboratory results that will support multiple myeloma.
Elevated ESR
Normochromic normocytic anemia
Hypercalcemia
Bone lesions in multiple myeloma is caused by what mechanism?
A. Proliferation of tumor cells
B. Activation of osteoblasts that destroy the bone
C. Suppression of osteoclasts that form the new bone.
D. Elevated PTH levels thus promoting bone reabsorption. E. Elevated calcitonin levels.
A. Proliferation of tumor cells
Bone lesions are due to proliferation of tumor cells, activation of osteoclasts and suppression of osteoblasts. Calcitonin in rare cases in other hypercalcemic states but is rarely required in multiple myeloma.

Thiamine deficiency
high output failure can be caused by: beriberi (B1 deficiency), chronic anemia, systemic arteriovenous shunting;
