charleymed: A resting male patient, age 54 years, body weights 76 kg, is suspected of Zollinger-Ellison syndrome and
examined in the morning after fasting overnight. The throat is sprayed with lignocaine and a gastroscope is
introduced into the pharynx under direct vision and passed down the oesophagus into the stomach and
duodenum. No ulcers, tumours or bleeding is found. A biopsy of the mucosa shows an overgrowth of
parietal cells. A sample of gastric juice is aspirated. Following stimulation by an injection of pentagastrin,
gastric juice is aspirated via a nasogastric tube for one hour. The hydrogen ion concentration in the
aspirate is 150 mM, and the volume is 350 ml.
Due to lung complications the blood gasses of the patient are measured in the morning (P aCO2 40 mmHg,
pHa 7.40 , Base Excess zero, actual [bicarbonate] 24 mM) and just after completion of the aspiration
(P aCO2 40 mmHg, pHa 7.48, Base Excess 7 mM, actual
[Bicarbonate] 30 mM). The next morning blood gases were normalised.
1. Calculate the gastric acid secretion rate of the patient, and compare the result with a normal value of 30
mmol per hour.
2. Describe the acid-base status of the patient just following the aspiration.
3. Explain the normalisation of the acid-base status the following morning.
4. Suggest a better diagnostic tool for the Zollinger-Ellison syndrome.

So drop your mails while I find start work.

May I use this time to say that as a medical student, a tablet is a must-have. You need it. If you have money, buy an iPad, bcause the battery life is flawless. The iPad 4 has a battery capacity of over 11,000 mah. If you're just using it to read without browsing, you could go for 4days without charge.

If you don't have money so much, buy a good tablet with a decent battery life. Tecno pads have decent battery life. Samsung too.

With a tablet you can have so many books at your disposal. Instead of buying one book and being limited, you can have as many as 4. It gives you an advantage over ur peers. And best if all, you can read anywhere.

Good luck guys. I'll get back to y'all.
