Which one of the following procedures is most likely to increase intraocular pressure of glaucoma patient –a) Use of atropineb) Decreased pressure in jugular veinc) High dose of vitamin Cd) Dark environmente) Carbonic anhydrase inhibitors.
Any factor which dilates the pupil will precipitate the attack of acute congestive glaucoma. Such factors are dim light (watching a film in a cinema), and mydriatic drugs (atropine, tropicamide, cyclopentolate, phenylephrine). Dilatation of the pupil increases the amount of apposition between iris and anteriorly placed lens with a considerable pressure resulting in relative papillary block. Consequently the aqueous collects in the posterior chamber and pushes the peripheral flaccid iris anteriorly (Iris bombe), resulting in appositional angle closure due to iridocorneal contact. Eventually there occurs a rise in IOP which is transient to begin with but slowly the appositional angle closure is converted to synechial angle closure due to formation of peripheral anterior synechiae (Goniosynechiae). To counteract this, miotic (mainly pilocarpine) is used in the treatment to constrict pupil and pull the iris away from the angle.

Best investigation for acute intestinal obstruction is:
Diagnosis - X-ray Abdomen: Confirm the clinical suspicion and define more accurately the site of obstruction (60% diagnostic accuracy) Supine radiographs: Dilated loops of small intestine without evidence of colonic distention, diagnose site and level of obstruction. Erect radiographs: Multiple air-fluid levels, which often layer in a step wise pattern Supine films are better than erect for diagnosis of intestinal obstruction CT SCAN Used in complex patients, in whom the diagnosis is not readily apparent Highly sensitive for diagnosing complete or high-grade obstruction of the small bowel and for determining the location and cause of obstruction. Less sensitive for paial small bowel obstruction. Useful for extrinsic cause of bowel obstruction (e.g. abdominal tumors, inflammatory disease, or abscess) and determining bowel strangulation. - Enteroclysis is investigation of choice in low-grade, intermittent SBO. - Barium studies: Precisely demonstrate the level of the obstruction and cause in ceain cases - Ultrasound: Useful in pregnant patients.

Patient can have de novo multiple primary carcinomas in different pas of the colon at the same time, i.e. synchronous (5-10%), or can present with growth in different pas of the colon in different periods, i.e. metachronous (10-20%). Gross types: Annular, tubular, ulcerative, cauliflower like. Annular (stenosing) type: * It is more common on left side. * Here the growth spreads round the internal wall and so it often presents with intestinal obstruction. * Left sided growth presents with colicky pain, altered bowel habits (alternating constipation and diarrhoea), palpable lump, distension of abdomen due subacute/ chronic obstruction. Later may present like complete colonic obstruction. Tenesmus, with passage of blood and mucus, with alternate constipation and diarrhoea, is common.

Malignant neuroleptic syndrome is caused by:March 2009
Ans. C: AntipsychoticsNeuroleptic malignant syndrome (NMS) refers to the combination of hypehermia, rigidity, and autonomic dysregulation that can occur as a serious complication of the use of antipsychotic drugs.The list of atypical antipsychotic drugs that may cause NMS include olanzapine, risperidone, paliperidone, aripiprazole, ziprasidone, amisulpride, and quetiapine.Clozapine may also be associated with the development of NMS, but it appears to be less likely to manifest with extrapyramidal features, including rigidity and tremor.The most widely accepted mechanism by which antipsychotics cause neuroleptic malignant syndrome is that of dopamine D2 receptor antagonism.Central D2 receptor blockade in the hypothalamus, nigrostriatal pathways, and spinal cord leads to increased muscle rigidity and tremor extrapyramidal pathways. Hypothalamic D2 receptor blockade results in an elevated temperature set point and impairment of heat-dissipating mechanisms.Peripherally, antipsychotics lead to increased calcium release from the sarcoplasmic reticulum, resulting in increased contractility, which can contribute to hypehermia, rigidity, and muscle cell breakdown.

Killian's dehiscence is seen in:
Ans. c (Cricopharynx). (Ref. Diseases of ENT by PL Dhingra, 3rd /pg. 290)# Inferior constrictor muscle has two parts:- Thyropharyngeus (oblique fibers)- Cricopharyngeus (transverse fibers)# Between these two parts exists a potential gap, known as "Killan's dehiscence" (gateway of tears).# Clinical significance:- Perforation during esophagoscopy- Pharyngeal pouchPHARYNGOESOPHAGEAL DIVERTICULUM (ZENKER DIVERTICULUM)# General Considerations- Zenker diverticulum originates from the posterior wall of the esophagus, in a triangular area of weakness limited:SS inferiorly by the cricopharyngeus muscle andSS superiorly by the inferior constrictor muscles (ie, the Killian triangle).- As the diverticulum enlarges, it tends to deviate from the midline, mostly to the left.# Pathogenesis- Zenker diverticulum results from either a lack of coordination between the pharyngeal contraction and the opening of the UES or a hypertensive UES.- Because of the increased intraluminal pressure, there is progressive herniation of mucosa and submucosa through the Killian triangle.Clinical Findings - Essentials of Diagnosis- Dysphagia, (the most common symptom)- Regurgitation of undigested food (with risk of aspiration).- Gurgling sounds in the neck.- Halitosis.# Imaging Studies- A barium swallow is the investigation of choice. It can also show a hiatal hernia.# Treatment- The standard treatment consists of excision of -the diverticulum and myotomy of the cricopharyngeus muscle, including the upper 3 cm of the posterior esophageal wall.- For small diverticula (ie, < 2 cm), myotomy alone is sufficient. As an alternative to the conventional treatment, a transoral endoscopic approach, using an endoscopic stapling instrument, can be used for diverticula between 3 cm and 6 cm in size.# Prognosis- The prognosis is excellent in about 90% of cases.

Indeed, fat embolism occurs in some 90% of individuals with severe skeletal injuries Fat embolism syndrome Term applied to the minority of patients who become symptomatic. It is characterized by:- Pulmonary insufficiency, Neurologic symptoms, Anemia, and Thrombocytopenia, Staining:- Because lipids are dissolved out of tissue preparations by the solvents routinely used in paraffin embedding, the microscopic demonstration of fat microglobules typically requires specialized techniques, including frozen sections and stains for fat (Sudan stain).

A i.e. Repression Defence mechanism Definition Normal example Pathological example Repression - It is (unconscious or conscious) exclusion, expulsion - Forgetting; eg painful - Psychogenic or withholding of an unaccepted anxiety, pain or aspects of memory of amnesia distress provoking sturnuli (idea, impulse, emotion, or memories) from conscious awarenessQ. distressing events such as sexual abuse in - Repression when excessive gives rise - Primary repression is curbing of ideas before they childhood may be kept to neurotic have attained consciousness. Secondary repression out of awareness for sufferingQ, & is excludes from conscious awareness. The repressed many years. treated by analytic is not really forgotten & symbolic behaviour may be present. - It differs from suppression in extent of effecting conscious inhibition of painful impulses to the point of almost losing & not just postponing cherished goals. - Slips of tongue psychotherapy by finding more mature solutions to intrapsychic struggle. So conscious perception of discomfo, feelings & instincts is blocked in repression. Failure of repression results in anxiety. Suppression - Consciously or semiconsciously postponement of Voluantry decision of not (voluantry) focusing of attention on an impulse or conflict, which has reached conscious awareness. thinking about an argument while going for an exam. - Issues may be deliberately cutoff, but they are not avoided.

Projection - It is unconscious attribution (projection) of one's own Universal phenomenon Persecutory delusions altitudes (thoughts, feelings or urges) to another person because of intolerance or painful affect aroused by those; thereby rendering one's own thoughts or feelings more acceptable. So it is perceiving & reacting to unacceptable inner impulses & their derivatives as though they were outside the self. more common in children. and hallucinations. - A person who dislikes a colleague may attribute a reciprocal feeling of dislike to him; it is then easier to justify his own feelings of dislike for the colleague. Rationalization - Unconscious provision (offering) of false but logical (rational) & acceptable explanation in an attempt to justify attitudes, beliefs or behaviour that may otherwise be unacceptableQ. Underlying motives are instinctually determined Universal phenomenon. To explain behaviours resulting from other defence mechanisms. - Example, a husband leaving his wife at home (because he does not enjoy her company) falsely reassures himself that she is shy & would not enjoy going out. Distoion - Unconscious gross re-shaping of external reality to suit - Hallucinations & satisfy inner needs. - Wishful filling delusions & sustained feelings of delusional superiority (grandiosity) or excitement - Unrealistic megalomanic beliefs Passive * aggressive behaviour - Expressing anger or aggression towards other indirectly through passivity, (passive resistance), masochism, turning against self, and negativistic attitudes towards who place demands. These - ? demands are resented & opposed indirectly, through procrastination (delaying), stubbornness, intentional inefficiencyQ, failure and illness that affect others more than onself. Regression - Adopting of behaviour (psychological functioning) appropriate to an earlier stage of development to avoid - Essential for sleep, relaxation, orgasm in - Neurosis (mild)(2 - Psychosis (more the tension & conflict evoked at the present level of sexual intercourse, & pervasive regression) development. creative process - Dream - Mature adult indulging in childish playful activities. - Severe prolonged physical illness (1/t regression of dependence on others) Displacement - It is unconscious shifting (transfer) of emotions from Deflection of anger on a - PhobiaQ (especially one idea, object, person or situation with which it is properly associated, to another (less threatening) that resembles the original in some aspect or quality, and is less highly cathected or evokes less distress.

The condition sougth should be an important health problem (in general, prevalence should be high).2. There should be a recognizable latent or early asymptomatic stage.3. The natural history of the contition, including development from latent to declared disease, should be adequately understood (so that we can know at what stage the process ceases to be reversible).4. There is a test that can detect the disease prior to the onset of signs and symptoms.5. facilities should be available for confirmation of the diagnosis.6. There is an effective treatment.7. There should be an agreed-on policy concerning whom to treat as patients (e.g., lower ranges of blood pressure; border-line diabetes).8. There is good evidence that early detection and treatment reduces morbidity and mortality.9. The expected benefits (e.g., the number of lives saved) of early detection exceed the risks and costs.

Tryptophan is glucogenic & ketogenic by producing
The major metabolic fate of tryptophan is to be oxidized by tryptophan pyrrolase (tryptophan di-oxygenase) (Step 1, Fig. 17.8). It is a hemoprotein. The enzyme is inducible by coicosteroids.iii. In this major pathway, the total 11 carbon atoms of tryptophan are catabolized as formyl group (1C which enters the one-carbon pool), alanine (3C, entering the glucose pathway) and acetoacetate (4C, going to ketogenic pathway). So, tryptophan is both glucogenic and ketogenic. The remaining 3 carbons are removed as 3 CO2 molecules.Ref: DM Vasudevan - Textbook of Biochemistry, 6th edition, page no: 211

True regarding IgA nephropathy is
IgA nephropathy, characterized by mesangial deposits of IgA-containing immune complexes, is the most common cause of the nephritic syndrome worldwide; it is also a common cause of recurrent hematuria; it commonly affects children and young adults and has a variable course. Ref: Robbins basic book of pathology 9th edition page 531 The clinical picture is usually characterized by recurrent bouts of haematuria that are often precipitated by mucosal infections. Mild proteinuria is usually present and occasionally nephrotic syndrome may develop. Ref: HARSH MOHAN TEXTBOOK OF PATHOLOGY 6th ed. pg no: 674 Histologically, the lesions in IgA nephropathy vary considerably.The glomeruli may be normal or may show mesangial widening and segmental inflammation confined to some glomeruli (focal proliferative GN); diffuse mesangial proliferation (mesangioproliferative GN); or (rarely) ove crescentic GN. The characteristic immunofluorescence picture is of mesangial deposition of IgA, often with C3 and properdin and smaller amounts of IgG or IgM. Ref: Robbins basic pathology 9th edition page 530

Spermatogenesis begins at -
Ans. is 'c' i.e., Puberty o Spermatogenesis refers to the process of formation of spermatozoa (sperm) from primitive germ cells (spermatogonia).o Spermatogenesis begins at puberty and continues throughout adult life to decline in old age.o In humans, it takes an average of 74 days to form a mature sperm from primitive germ cells.o Spermatogenesis occurs in seminiferous tubules.o Steps in spermatogenesis involve :i) Spermatogonia (primitive germ cells) undergo mitosis to form primary spermatocytes. Both spermatogonia and primary spermatocytes have diploid chromosomes (46 chromosomes or diploid of 23 chromosomes).ii) Primary spermatocytes undergo meiosis to form secondary spermatocytes. Secondary spermatocytes have haploid (23) chromosomes.iii) Secondary spermatocytes undergo mitosis to form spermatids.iv) Spermatids do not divide further but undergo morphological changes to form sperms (spermatozoa). This step of formation of spermatozoa from spermatids is called spermiogenesis. The spermiogenesis takes place in the deep folds of cytoplasm of sertoli cells.

Ans. a (Echinococcus)TestUsed forAdrenolytic testPheochromocytomaAllen testIn patients with severe Raynaud's phenomenon and refractory digital ulcers due to distal ulnar artery occlusion.Anticholinesterase testMyasthenia gravisApnea testDemonstration that apnea is due to irreversible medullary damage.Bentiromide testis an indirect measure of pancreatic function and reflects intraluminal chymotrypsin activity. The test has excellent specificity but is not very sensitive.Bernstein testHeartburn is produced by heightened mucosal sensitivity and can be reproduced by infusion of dilute (0.1 N) hydrochloric acid.Casoni's testEchinococcosisCoomb's testIs the major tool for diagnosing autoimmune hemolysis. This test relies on the ability of antibodies specific for immunoglobulins (especially IgG) or complement components (especially C3) to agglutinate RBC coated with these proteins. With specific anti-IgG and anti-C3, the direct Coombs test detects IgG or C3 on the patient's RBC, which indicates the presence of immune hemolysis and may help define its cause.Desmopressin testSevere pituitary or nephrogenic Diabetes Insipidus can be differentiated by administering desmopressin (DDAVP, 0.03 microg/kg subcutaneously or intravenously) and repeating the measurement of urine osmolarity 1 to 2 h later. An increase of >50% indicates severe pituitary Dl, whereas a smaller or absent response is strongly suggestive of nephrogenic Dl.Dexamethasone suppression testThe best screening procedure for Pituitary-Adrenal Suppressibility is the overnight dexamethasone suppression test.Dick testSusceptibility to scarlet fever was correlated with results of the Dick test, in which a small amount of erythrogenic toxin injected intradermally produced local erythema in susceptible individuals but elicited no response in those with specific.Nitroblue tetrazolium (NBT) dye test or the dihydrorhodamine (DHR) oxidation test.Deficiencies of oxidative metabolism are detected with either the two.Drop arm testThe diagnosis of a complete tear of the rotator cuff is suggested by the drop arm test in which the patient is unable to maintain his or her arm outstretched once it is passively abducted.Finkelstein's testDeQuervains tenosynovitis resulting from inflammation of the tendon sheath(s) involving the abductor poliicis longus or extensor pollicis brevis.Hydrogen breath testHydrogen breath testing after lactose ingestion may be performed for suspected lactase deficiency.Gastrin provocative tests(secretin stimu- lation test, the calcium infusion study, and a standard meal test)To differentiate between the causes of hypergastrinemia.Ham testFor many years, the diagnosis of PNH depended on the demonstration of the lysis of RBC after complement activation either by acid (Ham test) or by reduction in ionic strength (sucrose lysis test). These tests are inferior to the analysis of GPI-linked proteins (e.g., CD59, DAF) on RBC and granulocytes by flow cytometry.Head tilt testCardinal diagnostic feature of trochlear nerve palsy (The vertical diplopia is exacerbated by tilting the head towards the side with the muscle palsy, and alleviated by tilting it away)McMurray testA positive McMurray test may indicate a meniscal tear.Mazzotti testOnchocerciasisSwinging flashlight testTo elicit relative afferent pupillary defect (Marcus Gunn pupil). It is an extremely useful sign in retrobulbar optic neuritis and other optic nerve diseases, where it may be the sole objective evidence for disease.Schober testUseful measure of lumbar spine flexionString testStrongyloides stercoralisTyramine testTo evaluate postganglionic adrenergic function. In a postganglionic lesion, the response to tyramine is reduced and there is an excessive response to subthreshold doses of phenylephrine.Table tilt testNeurocardiogenic syncope

Nicotinic acid -
Ans. is 'a1 i.e., Increases HDL Nicotinic acid (Niacin)o There are three main type of lipases related to metabolism of lipoproteins -1. Lipoprotein lipase - Present in blood vessels and causes hydrolysis of tryglvceride content of VLDL and chylomicrones.2. Hepatic lipase - Converts IDL to LDL by hydrolysing the triglyceride content of IDL,Hormone sensitive lipase - Present intraceliularly in peripheral tissue and causes intracellular lipolysis by hydrolysing triglycerides.o Niacin (Nicotinic acid) inhibits intracellular lipolysis by inhibiting hormone sensitive lipase - |- intracellular FFA to liver -| triglyceride synthesis.o Niacin also increases the activity of lipoprotein lipase - | hydrolysis of VLDL triglyceride.o Nicotinic acid also reduces the production of VLDL in liver by inhibiting TG-synthesis - indirectly the VLDL degradation products IDL and LDL are also reduced,o Nicotinic acid is the most effective drug to raise HDL-CH.o Increased HDL is due to interference of direct pathway of HDL cholesterol to liver which involves apo-Al - Niacin decreases apo-A1 mediated hepatic clearance,o Nicotinic acid is used in type I, III, IV & V hyperlipoproteinemias.

Giant 'a' waves in JVP occur in all except -
Because Tricuspid stenosis usually occurs in the presence of other obvious valvulardisease, the diagnosis may be missed unless it is considered. SevereTS is associated with marked hepatic congestion, often resultingin cirrhosis, jaundice, serious malnutrition, anasarca, and ascites.Congestive hepatomegaly and, in cases of severe tricuspid valvedisease, splenomegaly are present. The jugular veins are distended,and in patients with sinus rhythm there may be giant a waves. Thev waves are less conspicuous, and because tricuspid obstructionimpedes RA emptying during diastole, there is a slow y descent.In patients with sinus rhythm there may be prominent presystolicpulsations of the enlarged liver as well.

An HIV-positive patient asks you if you can tell him the chances of him progressing to symptomatic AIDS. Which one of the following tests would be most useful?
HIV PCR, a nucleic acid amplification test for HIV RNA, has recently been shown to be the most valuable test for: monitoring a patient's progress during triple drug therapy and determining the chances of progression to AIDS. A viral load of 750,000 copies per ml significantly increases the chance of progression to AIDS within 5 years. The other tests listed do not accurately predict progression to AIDS.
