Figure 1. Changes in blood glucose levels (mmol/L) in response to feeding (time point 0 minutes) in people with type 1 diabetes (T1D; red-trace) and without type 1 diabetes (blue-trace; T1D). Data are presented as mean±SD.   Question 2: Answer all parts of the question.  A patient is assessed by their clinician and found to have aortic valve disease.  a) Explain anatomically what aortic stenosis is and how this can be detected?

(50%)  Describe the diagnostic investigations, their expected results and treatment options for patients. (50%)    Question 4: A patient has entered the Emergency department with chest pain. The pain has been described as a burning pain in the centre of the chest that has been constant for the last hour. The patient has tried three attempts at easing the pain with GTN spray and when they did not resolve the pain he contacted emergency services as directed by his doctor. The 12 lead ECG performed in the Emergency department is inconclusive, there are some inverted T waves however no evidence of ST elevation. A blood test is performed to measure the levels of troponin in the patient’s blood and this returns significantly elevated leading to a diagnosis of non-ST elevation myocardial infarction.  Please answer all parts of the question.   a) What is the purpose of measuring serum troponin levels and what is the significance of the raised values in the patient’s blood? (20%)  b) Explain the underlying pathophysiological mechanisms and the timeline of events that occur within the coronary arteries that leads to a non-ST elevation myocardial infarction (NSTEMI). (60%)  c) What is the significance of the failure of the GTN spray to ease the patient’s symptoms? (20%)    Question 5: Please answer all parts of the question.   a) Discuss the signs and symptoms of Parkinson’s Disease and include an explanation of its aetiology. (50%)  b) Describe Parkinson’s Disease diagnosis and evaluate the different pharmacological treatment options. (50%)    Question 6: Describe the structure and function of these four major drug receptor types, including examples and diagrams in your answer, where appropriate.  a) Receptor ion channels. (25%)  b) G protein coupled receptors. (25%)  c) Receptor tyrosine kinases. (25%)  d) Nuclear hormone receptors. (25%)
