Calculate the right ventricular stroke work (RVSW) given the following patient data: pulmonary artery pressure (PAP) = 35/25 mm Hg, cardiac output (C.O.) = 3.6 L/min, heart rate (HR) = 107 beats per minute, and body surface area (BSA) is 1.6 m2.
 
  a. 1.7 g-m/m2
  b. 6.2 g-m/m2
  c. 7.1 g-m/m2
  d. 30.5 g-m/m2

Question 2

The hemodynamic values for a patient in the cardiovascular care unit are: blood pressure (BP) 96/60 mm Hg, pulmonary artery pressure (PAP) 29 mm Hg, pulmonary capillary wedge pressure (PCWP) 14 mm Hg, stroke volume (SV) 50 mL.
 
  The patient has a body surface area of 1.6 m2. Calculate the patient's left ventricular stroke work (LVSW).
  a. 12.3 g-m/m2
  b. 30.6 g-m/m2
  c. 33.2 g-m/m2
  d. 49 g-m/m2

Chronic necrotizing aspergillosis has a slowly progressive process that, unlike invasive aspergillosis, does not spread to other organ systems or the blood vessels. It most often affects middle-aged and elderly individuals, spreading to surrounding tissue in the lungs. The disease often does not respond to conventionally successful treatments, and requires individualized therapies in order to keep it from becoming life-threatening.
