A 70-year-old man presents for evaluation of poorly controlled hypertension despite adherence to five different classes of antihypertensive medications. His medical history includes coronary artery disease with a myocardial infarction 3 years ago, peripheral artery disease, and type 2 diabetes mellitus. He reports no changes in his medication regimen and denies any recent lifestyle modifications. Physical examination reveals a blood pressure of 190/110 mm Hg in the left arm and 180/100 mm Hg in the right arm. His BMI is 24 kg/m². On auscultation, there is no abnormal heart sound. Which of the following additional findings is most likely to be seen in this patient? A. Elevated serum aldosterone-to-renin ratio B. Continuous murmur over the carotid arteries C. Diminished femoral pulses D. Continuous bruit in the lateral periumbilical area E. Pitting edema in the lower extremities Answer and topic summary The answer is D. Continuous bruit in the lateral periumbilical area Renal artery stenosis is a significant cause of secondary hypertension, particularly in patients with a history of atherosclerotic disease, as seen in this patient with coronary artery disease and peripheral artery disease. Resistant hypertension, uncontrolled despite multiple medications, is a hallmark. A continuous bruit in the lateral periumbilical area indicates turbulent blood flow through a narrowed renal artery, supporting this diagnosis. Incorrect Answers: A. Elevated aldosterone-to-renin ratio suggests primary aldosteronism, less likely given the atherosclerotic history pointing to renal artery stenosis. B. A carotid murmur indicates carotid artery disease, unrelated to this hypertension scenario. C. Diminished femoral pulses align with peripheral artery disease, but don’t explain the resistant hypertension. E. Pitting edema suggests heart failure or venous insufficiency, not specific to renal artery stenosis. Smarty PANCE Content Blueprint Review: Covered under ⇒ PANCE Blueprint Renal System ⇒ Congenital or structural renal disorders ⇒ Renal vascular disease 2. A 70-year-old woman comes to the emergency department due to sudden-onset chest pain followed by shortness of breath. The pain started 2 hours ago, and she experienced an episode of syncope lasting about 1 minute shortly after the pain began. She has a history of untreated hypertension and hyperlipidemia. Blood pressure is 180/95 mm Hg in both arms; pulse is 110/min and irregular; and respirations are 22/min.

A 25-year-old woman comes to the office due to fatigue and dizziness for the past several months. She works as a nurse and finds it increasingly difficult to complete her shifts. The patient reports heavy menstrual periods lasting 7-8 days each month. She has no significant medical history and is not on any medications. Blood pressure is 100/60 mm Hg and pulse is 75/min. BMI is 22 kg/m². Physical examination reveals pale conjunctivae and spoon-shaped nails. Hemoglobin is 8.5 g/dL. Which of the following sets of additional laboratory findings is most likely to be seen in this patient? A. Low ferritin, high TIBC, low serum iron B. High ferritin, low TIBC, high serum iron C. Low ferritin, low TIBC, high serum iron D. High ferritin, high TIBC, low serum iron E. Low ferritin, high TIBC, high serum iron Answer and topic summary The answer is A. Low ferritin, high TIBC, low serum iron The most likely additional laboratory findings in this patient are low ferritin, high total iron-binding capacity (TIBC), and low serum iron, which are indicative of iron deficiency anemia. Her history of heavy menstrual periods and symptoms of fatigue and pallor suggest chronic blood loss leading to iron deficiency. Ferritin is a marker of iron stores, and low levels indicate depletion of iron reserves. High TIBC reflects increased capacity of the blood to bind iron due to low iron levels.

She has had a runny nose, cough, and sore throat for the past five days. Two days ago, she developed a high fever and worsening neck pain, and today, she has refused to eat or drink.

The tonsils are erythematous and covered with white exudates. Lateral neck radiograph reveals a widened prevertebral space. Which of the following is the most likely diagnosis? A. Epiglottitis B. Peritonsillar abscess C. Retropharyngeal abscess D. Bacterial tracheitis E. Acute bacterial sinusitis Answer and topic summary The answer is C.

    Podcast Episode 107: This vs. That – PANCE Blueprint Comparisons You Need to Know (Part 1)
    Aug 15 2023
    Listen to Podcast Episode 107: This vs. That - PANCE Blueprint Comparisons You Need to Know (Episode 1) In today's session, we will be discussing five questions related to PANCE/PANRE Blueprint topics. These questions will cover similar presentations and crucial comparisons that are important for you to know. These topics are often used by PANCE/PANRE test question writers, so it's essential to learn how to differentiate between them. This is the first part (episode 1) of a series.

A 32-year-old woman presents with a 6-month history of loose bowel movements, approximately eight per day. Blood has been present in many of them. She has lost 30 pounds. For the past 6 weeks, she has had intermittent fever. She has had no previous gastrointestinal (GI) problems, and there is no family history of GI problems. On examination, the patient looks ill. Her blood pressure is 130/ 70 mm Hg. Her pulse is 108 beats/ minute and regular. There is generalized abdominal tenderness with no rebound. A sigmoidoscopy reveals a friable rectal mucosa with multiple bleeding points. Which of the following is the most likely diagnosis? A) Crohn's Disease B) Ulcerative Colitis C) Infectious Colitis D) Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS) E) Ischemic Colitis Answer and topic summary The answer is B) Ulcerative Colitis The patient’s symptoms of chronic bloody diarrhea, weight loss, fever, and the sigmoidoscopy findings of a friable rectal mucosa with multiple bleeding points are consistent with a diagnosis of ulcerative colitis (UC), which is a form of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). UC typically involves the rectum and may extend proximally to involve other parts of the colon. Incorrect answers: A) Crohn’s Disease: This is another type of IBD. However, Crohn’s usually presents with non-bloody diarrhea, abdominal pain, and may involve any part of the GI tract from mouth to anus, often with skip lesions. In this case, the bloody diarrhea and the findings on sigmoidoscopy are more indicative of ulcerative colitis. C) Infectious Colitis: Although infectious causes can lead to similar symptoms, the duration of this patient’s symptoms (6 months) is much longer than typically seen with infectious colitis. Additionally, fever is less common in infectious colitis. D) Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS): IBS is a functional GI disorder characterized by abdominal pain with a change in bowel habit. It does not cause weight loss, fever, or bloody stools. E) Ischemic Colitis: This typically presents acutely in older patients or those with vascular risk factors. The clinical presentation often includes abrupt onset of abdominal pain and bloody diarrhea.
