Title: A 60-year-old man is unable to walk more than 100 yards without experiencing severe chest pain in hi Post by: steph.mcshan1 on May 9, 2012 2. A 60-year-old man is unable to walk more than 100 yards without experiencing severe chest pain in his left leg; the pain is relieved by resting for 5-10. He is told that the arteries of his leg are becoming occluded with fatty material and is advised to have the sympathetic nerves serving that body region severed. Explain how such surgery might help to relieve this man’s problem. (4 points). Answer: 3. Your friend Joanie, who knows little about science, is reading a magazine article about a patient who had an aneurysm at the base of the brain that suddenly grew much larger. The surgeons’ first goal was to “keep it from rupturing,” and the second goal was to “relieve pressure on the brain stem and cranial nerves.” The surgeons were able to “replace the aneurysm with a section of plastic tubing,” so the patient recovered. Joanie asks you what all this means. (Hint: Check chapter 19 Related clinical terms, p. 748) (4 points).
