You are on your surgical placement when a 40 year old NZ European woman presents to the Emergency Department with sudden onset abdominal pain. She finds the pain severe and she has been vomiting. She has no relevant medical history. You go to see her with the surgical registrar.
She has been previously well and has never had abdominal surgery. On examination she is curled up in bed and looks pale, restless and sweaty. Her heart rate is 110, blood pressure 110/80, Temperature 37.2 C. The abdomen is distended and tender without rebound. Loud runs of bowel sounds are heard. Which is the most likely diagnosis?
Answer explanation
An impacted cystic duct stone would cause biliary colic which would be associated with vomiting but is likely to have radiation of the pain to the right upper back and not have abdominal distension and runs of bowel sounds.
Acute appendicitis may begin with central abdominal pain but is not usually associated with pallor and distension. Bowel sounds would usually not be active.
Acute pancreatitis usually has pain radiating to the back with the patient lying still and decreased bowel sounds.
Acute gastritis is not likely to have associated increased bowel sounds and restlessness.
Colicky abdominal pain associated with distension and increased bowel sounds is likely to be a bowel obstruction.

Diabetic ketoacidosis is a form of acute metabolic acidosis with an increased anion gap, which can be approximated by [Na+]-[HCO3-+Cl-].
This is distinct from Option E which shows a normal anion gap (or hyperchloraemic) metabolic acidosis.
Option D shows a respiratory rather than metabolic acidosis
the first two options show an alkalosis rather than acidosis.

A 19-year-old male is referred to you for physical examination. Upon physical examination, you note that he has sensory loss at his right fifth digit and the medial aspect of his right forearm. You also note that his right hand appears to be 'claw-shaped'. His right forearm is also supinated. He tells you that a couple of weeks ago he fell off his ladder at work and was saved by hanging onto a nearby ledge with his right hand. Given the likely diagnosis, which nerve root(s) is involved?
Answer explanation
Since he was hanging on the ledge, it is likely that he hyperabducted his arm. This action is likely to injure the lower brachial plexus i.e. C8, T1 root lesion. The claw-shaped hand is also characteristic of a lower brachial plexus injury (Klumpke-Dejerine palsy). The sensory loss on the medial aspect of his forearm and fifth digit referred to the C8 and T1 dermatomes.
