  2. 255-year-old factory worker presents with unequal pupils and what he describes as a 3rd cranial nerve lesion (he has Googled his symptoms). He is a smoker with a 28 pack-year history. His chest has normal expansion and his crico-sternal distance is 4 cm. His liver is not palpable even on deep inspiration.

  3. 3An 18-year-old woman presents with a progressive worsening of difficulty in breathing – her breathing has become progressively worse over a period of three months. She is concerned that her other care providers have not been able to diagnose her and as her symptoms are progressive; she is anxious to receive some answers. On examination you are able to detect a raised JVP, and cannon waves are seen. Her trachea is midline and her cricosternal distance is 3 cm; chest expands equally with bilateral equal vesicular breath sounds with no added sounds. She has a systolic murmur heard best at the 4th intercostal space at the left side of her sternum. Here liver is 15 cm and palpable below the costal margin with a slight pulsatile sensation emanating although it.

  4. 4A 55-year-old female presents with shortness of breath, dullness to percussion and an absence of breath sounds to the right- and left-lower lobes. There is no fever present. She has previously been diagnosed with ovarian cancer. The respiratory rate is 19. She works in a pet shop; non-smoker, never smoked.

  5. 5A 64-year-old morbidly obese female presents with reduced oxygen saturations. On examination you note that her breath sounds are quiet across all lung fields apart from the right-lower lobe where breath sounds are absent. This are area is also associated with a dullness to percussion. You note some inspiratory crackles at the junction between the presence and absence of breath sounds. Her trachea is deviated towards the right hand side of her chest.

There is reduced expansion of his left chest. You also note that there is an absence of breath sounds on his left chest and the percussion note is hyop-resonant (Dull). His trachea is midline. He is a non-smoker, never smoked, he works as a mechanic.

  7. 7An 18-year-old with pectus excavatem presents with shortness of breath and reduced exercise tolerance. Breath sounds are vesicular in nature although you appreciate a quieting of the breath sounds on right of the upper chest. The percussion sounds are also more resonant on the right apex. The remainder of the chest examination is unremarkable. Patient works in retail, selling fashion. Smokes approximately 7 cigarettes a day; has done since 15 years of age.

Her lung bases are dull to percussion bilaterally and coarse crackles are audible, although you can hear breath sounds throughout her lung fields they are notably loudest at the base. Chest expansion is overall reduced. There is viscous mucus present in her mouth.
