A 52-year-old man complains of pain in his back and fatigue for 6 months. He admits to polyuria and polydipsia. An X-ray film of the upper torso reveals numerous lytic lesions in the lumbar vertebral bodies. Laboratory studies show hypoalbuminemia and mild anemia and thrombocytopenia. A monoclonal immunoglobulin peak is demonstrated by serum electrophoresis, and a bone marrow aspiration demonstrates numerous atypical plasma cells. Urinalysis shows 4+ proteinuria. A renal biopsy in this patient would most likely show deposits of which of the following amyloid precursor proteins?
AL amyloid usually consists of the variable region of immunoglobulin light chains and can be derived from either the kappa (k) or lambda (l) moieties. Since the light chains produced by the neoplastic cells in plasma cell dyscrasias are unique to each patient, AL amyloid isolated from different persons differs in its amino acid sequence. AL protein is common to primary amyloidosis and amyloidosis associated with multiple myeloma, B-cell lymphomas, or other plasma cell dyscrasias. Multiple myeloma is accompanied by amyloidosis in 10% to 15% of cases. The other choices do not involve immunoglobulins.Diagnosis: Multiple myeloma

A 48-year-old woman develops constipation postoperatively and self-medicates with milk of magnesia. She presents to clinic, at which time her serum electrolytes are checked, and she is noted to have an elevated serum magnesium level. Which of the following represents the earliest clinical indication of hypermagnesemia?
The earliest clinical indication of hypermagnesemia is loss of deep tendon reflexes. States of magnesium excess are characterized by generalized neuromuscular depression. Clinically, severe hypermagnesemia is rarely seen except in those patients with advanced renal failure treated with magnesium-containing antacids. However, hypermagnesemia is produced intentionally by obstetricians who use parenteral magnesium sulfate (MgSO4 ) to treat preeclampsia. MgSO4 is administered until depression of the deep tendon reflexes is observed, a deficit that occurs with modest hypermagnesemia (over 4 mEq/L). Greater elevations of magnesium produce progressive weakness, which culminates in flaccid quadriplegia and in some cases respiratory arrest due to paralysis of the chest bellows mechanism. Hypotension may occur because of the direct aeriolar relaxing effect of magnesium. Changes in mental status occur in the late stages of the syndrome and are characterized by somnolence that progresses to coma.

In a patient with massive thromboembolism with hypotension after a fluid bolus of 1 L, the patient’s blood pressure remains low at 88/50 mmHg.Echocardiogram demonstrates hypokinesis of the right ventricle.What is the next best step in management of this patient?
This patient is presenting with massive pulmonary embolus with ongoing hypotension, right ventricular dysfunction, and profound hypoxemia requiring 100% oxygen. In this setting, continuing with anticoagulation alone is inadequate, and the patient should receive circulatory support with fibrinolysis, if there are no contraindications to therapy. The major contraindications to fibrinolysis include hypertension >180/110 mmHg, known intracranial disease or prior hemorrhagic stroke, recent surgery, or trauma. The recommended fibrinolytic regimen is recombinant tissue plasminogen activator (rTPA), 100 mg IV over 2 h. Heparin should be continued with the fibrinolytic to prevent a rebound hypercoagulable state with dissolution of the clot. There is a 10% risk of major bleeding with fibrinolytic therapy with a 1–3% risk of intracranial hemorrhage. The only indication for fibrinolysis in pulmonary embolus (PE) is for massive PE presenting with life-threatening hypotension, right ventricular dysfunction, and refractory hypoxemia. In submassive PE presenting with preserved blood pressure and evidence of right ventricular dysfunction on echocardiogram, the decision to pursue fibrinolysis is made on a case-by-case situation. In addition to fibrinolysis, the patient should also receive circulatory support with vasopressors. Dopamine and dobutamine are the vasopressors of choice for the treatment of shock in PE. Caution should be taken with ongoing high-volume fluid administration as a poorly functioning right ventricle may be poorly tolerant of additional fluids. Ongoing fluids may worsen right ventricular ischemia and further dilate the right ventricle, displacing the interventricular septum to the left to worsen cardiac output and hypotension. If the patient had contraindications to fibrinolysis and was unable to be stabilized with vasopressor support, referral for surgical embolectomy should be considered. Referral for inferior vena cava filter placement is not indicated at this time. The patient should be stabilized hemodynamically as a first priority. The indications for inferior vena cava filter placement are active bleeding, precluding anticoagulation, and recurrent deep venous thrombosis on adequate anticoagulation.

Treat with dopamine and recombinant tissue plasminogen activator, 100 mg IV
Continue IV fluids at 500 mL/hr for a total of 4 L of fluid resuscitation.
Refer for inferior vena cava filter placement and continue current management.

Group of 4-8 expes talking in front of a large group of audience is known as: September 2011
Ans. D: Panel Discussion In a panel discussion, 4-8 persons who are qualified to talk about the topic sit and discuss a given problem, or the topic, in front of a large group of audience Panel Discussion A panel consists of a small group of four or eight persons, who carry on a guided and informal discussion before an audience as if the panel were meeting alone. The proceedings of the panel should be the same as those described for informal discussion: volunteering of facts, asking questions, stating opinions-all expressed with geniality, with respect for the contributions of other members, without speech making, and without making invidious personal references. This primary function should occupy approximately two-thirds of the allotted time-say foy minutes of an hour's meeting. The secondary function of the panel is to answer questions from the audience. This discussion method is suitable for use when a relatively large audience is anticipated. The disadvantage of the method is that it confines most of the discussion to the panel itself. The audience listens and is given a chance to ask questions, but for the most pa is passive and receptive. Panel discussions, if well conducted, are usually more interesting to the audience than is the single-speaker forum. They provide sufficiently varied clash of opinion and presentation of facts to give even the quiet members of the audience a feeling of vicarious paicipation. Quality and tasks of leadership in panel discussion are similar to those described for informal discussion. The leader must in addition take special care to select panel members who can think and speak effectively. He must also be sure that they prepare themselves to discuss the subject. During the discussion by the panel the leader has substantially the same duties as in informal discussion except that he should keep himself more in the background as chairman of the panel. He can do so because each member of the panel is in reality an assistant to the leader and is responsible for specific contributions to the proceedings. When the subject is thrown open to the house, it is the leader's job to recognize appropriate questions and to reject those not bearing on the subject or involving personalities. Some questions he may answer himself, but usually he should repeat the question and call upon one of the panel to answer it. By preliminary announcement the leader may also tell the audience that they may direct questions at paicular members of the panel if they choose. In any case, during the question period the leader needs to maintain strict control.On many occasions this may be the toughest pa of his assignment to carry off efficiently and with good humor. While it is customary to confine audience questions to a specific period, some leaders permit questions from the floor at any time. Unless very carefully limited by the leader, this practice may interfere with effective discussion by the panel. Arranging the panel properly will lend effectiveness to this form of discussion.The members should face the audience.It is impoant that each panel member adjust his chair so that he can see every other member without effo the chairman will also find that the best places for his readiest speakers are at the extreme ends of the table.He should keep the more reticent members close to, him so that he can readily draw them out with direct questions. If the quieter ones sit on the fringes of the panel, the more voluble members are quite likely to monopolize the discussion.

Fall on outstretched hand leads to fracture of the following bones
Clavicle is commonly fractured by falling on the outstretched hand (indirect violence). The most common site of fracture is the junction between the two curvatures of the bone, which is the weakest point. The lateral fragment is displaced downwards by the weight of the limb as trapezius muscle alone is unable to suppo the weight of upper limb. B D Chaurasia 7th edition Page no: 8

The intake of Iodine in to the Thyroid Gland is an example of which of the followings means of molecular transpo?
Secondary active transpo or co-transpo, uses energy to transpo molecules across a membrane against a concentration/electrochemical gradient.In contrast to primary active transpo, there is no direct coupling of ATP; instead, the electrochemical potential difference created by pumping ions out of the cell is used. Primary active transpo, also called direct active transpo, directly uses energy to transpo molecules across a membrane. Facilitated diffusion is a type of passive transpo that allows substances to cross membranes with the assistance of special transpo proteins. Endocytosis is a process by which cells absorb molecules (such as proteins) by engulfing them.

Usually > 50 years.> Decreased VA, hazy cornea, fixed, semi-dilated or oval pupil. Within 24 hours.> Keratitis Photophobia, foreign body sensation +- history of contact lens wear tprevious episodes (e.g. herpes simplex infection).> VA depends on exact nature of problem - peripheral lesions may cause little change but some decrease is expected.> Corneal defect on staining +- hypopyon (pus seen in anterior chamber).> Within 24 hours.> Acute anterior uveitis: Photophobia, blurred vision, headache, pain on accommodating. May have been unresponsive to previous treatment for conjunctivitis. VA may be reduced, redness more localised around corneal edge (ciliary injection), pupils may be constricted or irregular.> When severe, white cells precipitate on corneal endothelial surface (seen as white clumps - keratic precipitates). Within 24 hours.> Foreign body (FB) Pain depends on where this is lodged - worst if in the cornea when there may be decreased vision +- photophobia. VA depends on where the FB lies but this will be reduced if in the central visual axis. FB seen on examination, within 24 hours if large, in central visual axis. If there is suspicion of associated injury / deeper injury and if complete removal is not possible on initial assessment.

A 6 month old infant presented with multiple erythematous papules & exudative lesions on the face, scalp, trunk and few vesicles on palms and soles for 2 weeks. His mother has H/o itchy lesions. The most likely diag is:
A ie Scabies The diagnosis is scabies, which is characterized by severe itching and diffusely scattered papular and papulo-vesicular lesions which may appear on all pas of body except the face. It is common to find other individuals especially children staying in same house also showing similar features. In infants, eczematization is very common and it leads to exudation and crusting especially on the wrist and ankle. Secondary infection leads to pustule, crust fever and lymphadenopathy. Involvement of palm & soles, duration of < 6 weeks (2 weeks) and presence of same lesions in mother, our the diagnosis of scabies. Scabies Intense itching even in presence of minor physical signs The physical sign are essentially those of eczema & effects of scratching. Vesicles are seen but excoriations and prurigo-like papules are more common. Pathognomic lesion is burrow or run (in stratum corneum); which is a tiny, raised, linear or serpiginous white mark. The best sites to find burrows are palms & interdigital areas of fingers, flexural creases and over the elbows. Other common sites of involvement are - anterior axillary fold, buttock fold, areola of breast, lower abdomen, genitalia, knees, ankle and soles. Head and neck is involved in infants only. Same type of lesion may also present in family members. Positive family or social history Finding of mite or egg by pin or by examining skin scrapings or a skin surface biopsy taken with cynoacrylate glue, confirms diagnosis.

It involves scalp (cradle cap), face or groin. It is rarely seen in children beyond infancy but becomes evident again during adult life. Lesions are characterized by greasy scales overlying erythematous patches or plaques Reddened itchy patches may become either scaly or crusted & exudative. The most common location is scalp where it may be recognized as severe dandruff Other sites are eyebrows, eyelids, glabella, and nasolabial folds. Scaling of external auditory canal is common & mistaken as fungal infection. Retroauricular areas often become macerated & tender. May be associated with Parkinson's disease, cerbro-vascular accident & HIV infection. Rarely groin, axilla central chest, sub mammary folds & gluteal cleft may also be involved. Impetigo contagiosa Contagious superficial skin infection caused by staph. aureus (mostly) Red, sore areas, which may blister, appear on exposed skin Yellowish gold curst surmounts the lesion It is mostly a disorder of prepubeal children May be associated with glomeruloneprhitis,

Which of the following is recommended as a dual-active drug targeting both HBV and HIV?
Tenofovir is a recommended dual-active drug with sufficient activity in targetting both HBV and HIV. Among the Antiretroviral Drugs, Tenofovir (TDF/TAF), Laminvudine (3TC) and Emtricitabine (FTC) have sufficient activity against HBV. Entecavir is an HBV nucleoside analog that only weak/paial HIV activity and is not preferred for use against HIV as it can induce HIV resistance. Designated drugs that have sufficient dual-activity against both HIV and HBV, and hence should be used in HBV-HIV-Co-Infected persons to provide effective treatment also against HIV: Emtrictrabine(FTC) Lamivudine(3TC) Tenofovir (Tenofovir Disoproxil Fumarate (TDF) and Tenofovir Alfenamide (TAF) Entecavir (+/-) TAF is a Tenofovir prodrug with HBV activity and potentially less renal and bone toxicities than TDF. Entecavir: Entecavir is a guanosine analogue that is highly potent against HBV and has weak/paial activity against HIV. It is typically not preferred for use against HIV as it can induce HIV Resistance. When Entecavir is used to treat HBV in patients with HBV/HIV coinfection who are not on A, the drug may select for the M184V mutation that confers HIV resistance to 3TC and FTC. Therefore, Entecavir should only be used in HBV/HIV coinfected patient in addition to (and should not replace components of) fully suppressive A. It should be used as an add-on-drug to also treat HBV in cases only where the other drugs used in A have insufficient HBV activity. Ref: Goodman and Gilman 13th edition

A female presented with loss of vision in both eyes and on examination has normal pupillary responses and normal fundus, Her visually evoked response (VER) examination shows extinguished responses.The most likely diagnosis is -
Lesions upto optic tract (i.e. retina, optic nerve, optic chiasma and optic tract) affect pupillary (light) reflex. In the question light reflex is normal, thus optic neuritis and retinal detachment can be ruled out. Now we are left with hysteria and cortical blindness. This can be differentiated by VER which is normal in hysteria and shows abnormality in cortical lesions. So, answer is cortical blindness. It is worth noting that VER will also be abnormal in retinal detachment and optic neuritis. However, they have been excluded on the basis of normal pupillary response. Here I am giving brief idea about VER. We know when light falls on retina, a series of nerve impulses are generated and passed on to the visual cortex via the visual pathway. The visual evoked response measures the electrical potential resulting from a visual stimulus. Because it is measured by scalp electrodes placed over the occipital cortex, the entire visual pathway from retina to cortex must be intact in order to produce a normal electrical waveform reading. Visual evoked response is the only clinically objective technique available to assess the functional state of the visual system beyond the retinal ganglion cells. Interruption of neuronal conduction by any lesion in this pathway will result in reduced amplitude of the VER. In the question extinguished visual response suggests any abnormality some where, in the visual conducting system. This abnormality in the VER can be easily attributed to cortical blindness because normal pupillary response and normal fundus rule out any chance of optic neuritis and retinal detachment.

“Aschoff bodies” are seen in:
Rheumatic fever (RF) Morphology During acute RF, focal inflammatory lesions are found in various tissues. Distinctive lesions occur in the heart, called Aschoff bodies, which consist of foci of lymphocytes (primarily T cells), occasional plasma cells, and plump activated macrophages called Anitschkow cells (Pathognomonic for RF). These macrophages have abundant cytoplasm and central round-to ovoid nuclei in which the chromatin is disposed in a central, slender, wavy ribbon (hence the designation "caterpillar cells"), and may become multinucleated. During acute RF, diffuse inflammation and Aschoff bodies may be found in any of the three layers of the heart, causing pericarditis, myocarditis, or endocarditis (pancarditis). Inflammation of the endocardium and the left sided valves typically results in fibrinoid necrosis within the cusps or along the tendinous cords. Overlying these necrotic foci are small (1 - to 2- mm) vegetations, called verrucae, along the lines of closure. Subendocardial lesions, perhaps exacerbated by regurgitant jets, may induce irregular thickenings called MacCallum plaques, usually in the left atrium. Chronic Rheumatic Heart Disease The changes of the mitral valve in are: Leaflet thickening Commissural fusion Shortening, thickening and fusion of the tendinous cords In chronic disease, the mitral valve is virtually always involved The mitral valve is affected alone in 65% to 70% of cases, and along with the aortic valve in another 25% of cases. Fibrous bridging across the valvular commissures and calcification create "fish mouth" or “buttonhole” stenoses.

Which of the following is the most reliable bacteriological indicator of water pollution: September 2010, March 2012, March 2013 (a, b, f)
Ans. C: Escherichia coli Coliforms: Gram-negative, non spore-forming, oxidase-negative, rod-shaped facultative anaerobic bacteria that ferment lactose to acid and gas within 24-48h at 36+-2degC. Not specific indicators of fecal pollution. Thermotolerant coliforms: Coliforms that produce acid and gas from lactose at 44.5+-0.2degC within 24+-2h, also known as fecal coliforms due to their role as fecal indicators. Escherichia coli (E. coli): Thermophilic coliforms that produce indole from tryptophan. Most appropriate group of coliforms to indicate fecal pollution from warm-blooded animals. Fecal streptococci (FS): Gram-positive, catalase-negative cocci from selective media (e.g. azide dextrose broth or m Enterococcus agar) that grow on bile aesculin agar and at 45degC, belonging to the genera Enterococcus and Streptococcus possessing the Lancefield group D antigen. Enterococci: All fecal streptococci that grow at pH 9.6, 10deg and 45degC and in 6.5% NaC1. Nearly all are members of the genus Enterococcus, and also fulfil the following criteria: resistance to 60degC for 30 min and ability to reduce 0.1% methylene blue. The enterococci are a subset of fecal streptococci that grow under the conditions outlined above. Sulphite-reducing clostridia (SRC): Gram-positive, spore-forming, non-motile, strictly anaerobic rods that reduce sulphite to H2S. Clostridium perfringens: As for SRC, but also ferment lactose, sucrose and inositol with the production of gas, produce a stormy clot fermentation with milk, reduce nitrate, hydrolyse gelatin and produce lecithinase and acid phosphatase.

A new drug is found to be highly lipid soluble. It is metabolized at a slower rate of 10% per hour. On intravenous injection, it produces general anaesthesia that lasts only for 15 min. This short duration of anaesthesia is due to:
- Highly lipid soluble drugs get initially distributed to organs with high blood flow (Brain, heart, kidney etc). Later to less vascular tissues (muscle, fat). The plasma concentration falls and the drug is withdrawn from these sites. If the site of action was in one of the highly perfused organs, redistribution results in termination of drug action. Greater the lipid solubility of the drug, faster is its redistribution. This is seen in Thiopentone.

Alcoholics may develop fatal lactic acidosis due to inhibition of which of the following enzyme?
Pyruvate is decarboxylated by the pyruvate dehydrogenase component of the enzyme complex to a hydroxyethyl derivative of the thiazole ring of enzyme-bound thiamin diphosphate. Arsenite and mercuric ions react with the 'SH groups of lipoic acid and inhibit pyruvate dehydrogenase, as does a dietary deficiency of thiamin allowingpyruvate to accumulate. Many alcoholics are thiamin deficient (both because of a poor diet and also because alcohol inhibits thiamin absorption), and may develop potentially fatal pyruvic and lactic acidosis.Ref: Harper&;s Biochemistry; 30th edition; Chapter 17; Glycolysis & the Oxidation of Pyruvate
