An otherwise healthy 15-year-old boy comes to the physician for a routine health maintenance examination. He has no complaints and has good school performance. He has no personal or family history of any serious illness. Vital signs are within normal limits. The lungs are clear to auscultation. The abdomen is soft and nontender. Cardiac auscultation shows no murmur, but a wide, fixed-splitting of S2. If left untreated, this patient is at increased risk for which of the following complications?

A 4-week old full term infant is brought to the ER by his parents. They tell you that he has been vomiting profusely following each feed. It started about a week ago, when he would vomit a bit after feeding, but they were told it was just regurgitation. However, recently the vomiting has become projectile, and the infant would feed eagerly between the vomiting episodes, but couldn't keep anything down. There is no associated diarrhea or fever. On examination, the infant is non-febrile, lethargic, and with features of dehydration. His abdomen is non tender with an olive-like mass in the epigastrium. After fluid replacement, blood work was done which revealed hypochloremic metabolic alkalosis. What is the major pathologic change underlying the cause of his condition?
