He has no complaints except for occasional fatigue.  His CBC and an anemia panel reveals the following: Hemoglobin (Hb): 9.2 g/dL (Normal range for age: 11.0 - 13.5 g/dL Mean corpuscular volume (MCV): 68 fL (Normal range for age: 76 - 92 fL) Mean corpuscular hemoglobin concentration (MCHC):  low value Serum ferritin: 6 ng/mL (Normal range for age: 12 - 120 ng/mL) Serum iron: 15 µg/dL (Normal range for age: 40 - 100 µg/dL) Total iron-binding capacity (TIBC):490 µg/dL (Normal range for age: 250 - 450 µg/dL) 1-Based on the MCV and MCHC- What type of anemia is this and why does this anemia cause a low MCV? (2 points)  2-What lab reflects iron stores? (1) 3-Why is the TIBC high (one sentence)? (1) 4- List TWO possible differentials that may be causing his anemia. (1)

Cаse Study 1 A nine-yeаr-оld bоy wаs referred fоr SLP consult by nursing staff for suspected cerebellar mutism. He had arrived at the hospital two days before to prep for surgery to remove a pilocytic astrocytoma (slow-growing, cystic tumor) on the right anterolateral cerebellum. Prior to surgery, he showed mild imprecision in his speech, especially when pronouncing sounds like “r”. He also reported dizziness, nausea, and had difficulty with fine motor movements on the right side.  The surgery was successful, with full removal of the tumor. When the boy woke up, his parents immediately notified the nursing staff and said they were worried he couldn't talk anymore. The nursing staff called SLP for a consult. During bedside examination, the SLP noted the following:  Language and cognition checks Provided appropriate verbal responses to yes/no questions Produced appropriate single word answers (e.g. name of self, cat's name)  Followed sequential directions (e.g. "point to ceiling and then point to the floor")  Endorsed extreme nausea when asked; his parents said that he couldn't sit up without feeling like he had to vomit Oral mechanism exam Decreased palatal movement during repeated "ah" Decreased gag reflex Decreased tongue strength and range of motion  Difficulty keeping air in cheeks Symmetrical face, slightly low tone No abnormal movements in the lips or tongue during sustained postures Slow, rhythmic pulsing of the palate while holding open mouth posture  DDK tasks + sustained phonation Slow, unevenly timed AMRs Slightly faster, appropriately sequenced SMRs Variable but overall undershot articulation in both AMRs and SMRs Slow, rhythmic voice quality changes during sustained phonation; 6 seconds sustained phonation Speech tasks Slow rate of speech Pronounced, constant hypernasality Quiet, somewhat breathy voice Inconsistent articulatory precision and equivocally slow rate when counting from one to five and when naming days of the week No increased difficulty when asked to produce words like "caterpillar" "buttercup"
