Quick Assessment of Data Interpretation Skills
(QADIS) with KeyInstructions:Please read the scenario and data carefully and answers the questions given below each data.Time allocated for each patient is 2 minutes
Patient No 1 A 63 year-old male presented with history of haemoptysis and
cough for the last 02 years. He is a chain smoker (20 cigarettes / day). His biochemical profile is like this:

a. Humoral hypercalcaemia of malignancy due to Lung Malignancy
b. PTH-related peptide
Patient No 2A 62 year-old-male patient having following arterial blood gas analyses
results:• pH : 7.40 (7.35 – 7.45)• Base Excess: 21.8 (<+3 - >-3)• PCO2 : 10.7 (4.7 – 6.0 kPa)• PO2 10.9 (10.7 – 13.3 kPa)• HCO3 51.1 (23 – 33 mmol/L)• Oxygen Sat 95.1 (95-98%)

a. Double opposing disorder i.e. Metabolic Alkalosis and Respiratory acidosis
b. Upper GI Vomiting and diuretics
Patient No 3 A 33 year old male had a fasting lipid profile as a part of his regular
screening. His past medical history is not significant. Presently he is not on any medications. His lipid profile is as under:
• Triglycerides: 1.13 mmol/L (<1.87)• Cholesterol : 4.45 mmol/L(<5.1)• HDL Cholesterol: 0.73 mmol/L(>1.0)• LDL Cholesterol: 3.53 mmol/L(<3.62)

caused due to this biochemical abnormality
a. Low HDL-Cholesterolb. Malignancy, poor response to infection and complications in
diabetes mellitus
Patient No 4
A 32 y male has a unilateral swelling of his left testis and symptoms of hyperthyroidism. His thyroid profile was as following:

hepatocellular disturbance, hypotonia, seizures and coma. His biochemical findings are:• Alkalosis: +• Ketones : +• NH3: ++++• Lactate: Normal• Glucose: Normal
a. What is the most probable diagnosis in this patient? b. Name the amino acid metabolism most likely affected in this
baby?

Patient No 6
A patient presented with vague complaints. He had no tremors or weight loss. His pulse was 82 /minute:
• Free T4 : 72 pmol/L (6-21)
• Total T3 : 9.2 nmol/L (1.1-2.7)
• TSH: >75 mIU/La. What is the most probable diagnosis in this patient?
b. Name the pathogenic mechanism causing this disease
a. Thyroid resistance syndromeb. It is defect of thyroid hormone receptor which are present in
the peripheral tissues and in pituitary.
