In crush syndrome what is noted
In a crush injury, crushing of muscle leads to a reperfusion injury when the casualty is rescued.This releases myoglobin and vasoactive mediators into the circulation.It also sequesters many litres of fluid, reducing the effective intravascular volume and resulting in renal vasoconstriction and ischaemia. The myoglobinuria leads to renal failure from tubular obstructionBailey and Love 26e pg: 430

On microscopic examination, acute pulmonary congestion is marked by blood-engorged alveolar capillaries and variable degrees of alveolar septal edema and intra-alveolar hemorrhage. In chronic pulmo- nary congestion, the septa become thickened and fibrotic, and the alveolar spaces contain numerous macrophages laden with hemosiderin ("hea failure cells") derived from phagocytosed red cells

A 65-year-old man worked in a shipyard for 10 years, and then he worked for 5 years for a company that installed fire retardant insulation. He experienced increasing dyspnea for 11 years with progressive respiratory failure and hypoxemia. A CT scan of his chest now shows a large mass encasing the left lung. Which of the following findings is most likely to be seen on a chest radiograph in this patient?
This patient has an occupational risk of asbestos exposure. The inhaled asbestos fibers become encrusted with iron and appear as the characteristic ferruginous bodies with iron stain. The firm, tan mass encasing the pleura is most likely a malignant mesothelioma. Asbestosis more commonly gives rise to pleural fibrosis and interstitial lung disease, similar to other pneumoconioses. This is seen grossly as a dense pleural plaque, which often is calcified. Asbestosis can give rise to bronchogenic carcinoma, especially in smokers. Fluffy infiltrates suggest an infectious process. Upper lobe cavitation suggests secondary tuberculosis. An endobronchial mass could be a carcinoid tumor, which is not related to asbestosis. The pleural mass likely leads to obliteration of the pleural space, with no effusion.

Chronic alcoholism is associated with the development of all of the following liver diseases, EXCEPT:
Chronic alcoholism result in the formation of three distinctive forms of liver diseases such as hepatic steatosis, alcoholic hepatitis and cirrhosis. Hepatic steatosis refers to the accumulation of lipid droplets within the hepatocytes. It could be either microvesicular or macrovesicular. This process is initially centrilobular but can involve the entire liver in severe cases. Alcoholic hepatitis is characterized by the presence of hepatocyte swelling and necrosis, Mallory bodies, neutrophilic infiltration and fibrosis. Alcoholic cirrhosis is the final and irreversible form of alcoholic liver disease. Ref: Robbins Pathologic Basis of Disease, 6th Edition, Pages 869- 72

Substrate level phosphorylation in Glycolysis is seen in which step?
ANSWER: (B) Pyruvate kinaseREF: Murray pp 130-135, Scriver, pp 1521-1552, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Substratelevel_phosphorylationSubstrate-level phosphorylation is a type of metabolism that results in the formation and creation of adenosine triphosphate (ATP) or guanosine triphosphate (GTP) by the direct transfer and donation of a phosphoryi (POa) group to adenosine diphosphate (ADP) or guanosine diphosphate (GDP) from a phosphorylated reactive intermediate. Note that the phosphate group does not have to directly come from the substrate. By convention, the phosphoryl group that is transferred is referred to as a phosphate groupWe use the term substrate level phosphorylation because ATP formation in glycolysis is powered by the addition/ removal of phosphate groups (phosphorylation) to molecules of glucose (the substrate). Hence the term substrate-level phosphorylation.Examples of substrate level phosphorylation that occurs in glycolysis is:The production of 1st ATP when 1,3 bisphophoglycerate is converted into 3-phosphoglycerate by the enzyme phosphoglycerate kinaseProduction of 2nd ATP when phosphoenolpyruvate is converted to pyruvate by the enzyme pyruvate kinase.

Population attributable risk is defined as:-
Population Attributable Risk (PAR) It is the incidence of disease (or death) in total population minus incidence of disease (or death) among those who were not exposed to suspected causal factor. It is useful as it provides an estimation of amount by which incidence of disease could be reduced in that population if the suspected factor was eliminated or modified. PAR is useful for National health programmes and policies.

Incidence of disease among exposed is so many times higher as compared to that among non-exposed
So much disease can be attributed to exposure
If risk factor is modified or eliminated, there will be so much annual reduction in incidence of disease in the given population

Which of the following is suggestive of Acute renal failure?
Renal indices in AKI The FeNa is the fraction of the filtered sodium load that is reabsorbed by the tubules, and is a measure of both the kidney's ability to reabsorb sodium as well as endogenously and exogenously administered factors that affect tubular reabsorption. As such, it depends on sodium intake, effective intravascular volume, GFR, diuretic intake, and intact tubular reabsorptive mechanisms. With prerenal azotemia, the FeNa may be <1%, suggesting avid tubular sodium reabsorption. In patients with CKD, a FeNa significantly >1% can be present despite a superimposed prerenal state. The FeNa may also be >1% despite hypovolemia due to treatment with diuretics. Low FeNa is often seen early in glomerulonephritis and other disorders and, hence, should not be taken as prima facie evidence of prerenal azotemia. Low FeNa is therefore suggestive, but not synonymous, with effective intravascular volume depletion, and should not be used as the sole guide for volume management. The response of urine output to crystalloid or colloid fluid administration may be both diagnostic and therapeutic in prerenal azotemia. In ischemic AKI, the FeNa is frequently >1% because of tubular injury and resultant inability to reabsorb sodium. Several causes of ischemia-associated and nephrotoxin-associated AKI can present with FeNa <1%, however, including sepsis (often early in the course), rhabdomyolysis, and contrast nephropathy ref - Harrison's 20e pg 2107

Chlorination of water is which level of prevention -
Chlorine kills pathogenic bacteria but has no effect on spores and ceain viruses (e.g., polio, hepatitis) except in high doses It oxidises iron, manganese, it controls algae and slime organisms and aids coagulation. Disinfecting action of chlorine is mainly due to hypochlorous acid. Primary prevention is the action taken prior to the onset of the disease which removes the possibility of occurrence of disease. It includes sanitation, infection control, immunization, protection of food, milk, water supplies. The proper treatment of water by chlorination helps in infection control hence its a mode of primary prevention. Parks textbook of preventive and social medicine.K Park. Edition 25.page no:774

Which of the finding is not found in hypothyroidism?
Hypothyroidism may be an underlying cause of elevated cholesterol levels, and thyroid replacement therapy can reverse this finding. Laboratory findings in hypothyroidism may include increased skeletal muscle-associated isoenzymes like creatine phosphokinase and lactic dehydrogenase, elevated total and LDL cholesterol, lipoprotein (a) levels, triglycerides, hyperprolactinemia, hyperhomocysteinemia, and normocytic or macrocytic anemia. Serum triiodothyronine (T3) concentrations also decline, but are not frankly low until hypothyroidism is severe due to compensatory increase in thyroidal T3 secretion and hepatic T4-T3 conversion. Serum TSH can be elevated. Ref: Werner & Ingbar's The Thyroid: A Fundamental and Clinical Text By Lewis E.

Ans. (d) PET scan* Positron emission tomography (PET) is a nuclearmedical imaging modality that produces a three-dimensional image of functional processes in the body* The most common indication for a PET scan is to detect cancer metastasis.* The technique operates on the principle of detecting gamma rays emitted indirectly by a positron-emitting radionuclide (tracer).* Three dimensional imaging is done with the aid of a CT X-ray scan performed on the patient during the same session.* The biologically active molecule chosen for PET is FDG (18-Fluoro deoxy glucose), an analogue of glucose, the concentrations of tracer imaged will indicate tissue metabolic activity by virtue of the regional glucose uptake.* ALSO REMEMBER: Functional magnetic resonance imaging or functional MRI (fMRI) is an imaging procedure that measures brain activity by detecting associated changes in blood flow. This technique relies on the fact that cerebral blood flow and neuronal activation are coupled.

Which of the following diseases is a lysosomal storage disease that is associated with the synthesis of abnormal myelin?
Metachromatic leukodystrophy is a lysosomal storage disease associated with the synthesis of abnormal my­elin. The term leukodystrophy refers to the abnormality in myelin synthesis. Metachromatic leukodystrophy is an autosomal recessive disease characterized by an arylsulfatase. A deficiency, leading to the accumulation of sulfatides in lysosomes that stain positively with periodic acid-Schiff stain and various metachromatic stains. The clinical findings include various visceral lesions, mental retardation, peripheral neuropathy, and abnormal myelination in the central nervous sys­tem associated with reactive gliosis. It is diagnosed by the absence of arylsulfatase A in the urine. Tay-Sachs disease is an autosomal recessive GM2 gangliosidosis characterized by a hexosaminidase ( ­subunit) deficiency and an accumulation of GM2 gan­glioside in lysosomes. It is commonly found in Ash­kenazi Jews, in which there is a 1 in 30 carrier rate. The patients are normal at birth but develop abnormal­ities by 6 months of age, including severe mental retardation, blindness (cherry red spot in the macula), and muscle flaccidity. The lipid has a whorled configuration in lysosomes when viewed by electron micros­copy. It is a uniformly fatal disease. Niemann-Pick disease is an autosomal recessive ly­sosomal storage disease associated with a sphingomye­linase deficiency and the accumulation of sphingomye­lin in macrophages and neurons. The type A variant is most common. It is characterized by severe mental retardation, hepatosplenomegaly, deterioration of psy­chomotor function, and foamy macrophages. Zebra bodies are noted in the lysosomes when viewed by electron microscopy. The disease is fatal in early life.

Which is not an indication for a classical cesarean incision?
Ans. D. Term breech (frank)Occasionally it is necessary to use a classical incision for delivery. Some indications are:a. Difficulty in exposing or safely entering the lower uterine segment because the bladder is densely adherent from previous surgery, a myoma occupies the lower uterine segment, or the cervix has been invaded by cancer.b. Transverse lie of a large fetus, especially if the membranes are ruptured and the shoulder is impacted in the birth canal. A fetus presenting as a back-down transverse lie may be particularly difficult to deliver through a transverse incision.c. Some cases of placenta previa with anterior implantation, especially in the case where the placenta has grown through a prior uterine incision (placenta percreta).d. Certain cases in which the fetus is very small, especially if breech, and the lower uterine segment is not thinned out.e. Massive maternal obesity precluding safe to the lower uterine segment.

Hyperplasia of smooth muscle of airway is seen in?
Asthma is a chronic Inflammatory disease of the airways. Repeated bouts of inflammation leads to structural changes in the bronchial wall collectively called as airway remodelling. These changes include hyperophy of bronchial smooth muscle and mucus glands and deposition of subepithelial collagen. Robbins basic pathology 9th edition page no 468 ref img

A 9 months old previously healthy infant was brought with complaints of fever of 12 hours' duration along with a running nose and an episode of generalized tonic clonic movements lasting for 34 minutes. Child was brought to the emergency within 1 hour. Child was observed in the emergency and was found to be alert active and playful after the fever came down. The most probable diagnosis in this infant is:
Ans. A. Febrile ConvulsionsFebrile convulsions are the commonest provoked seizures affecting 3-5% children. They are defined as seizures. During fever occurring between 6 months and 5 yr. age in the absence of infection of the central nervous system in a neurologically normal child. Febrile seizures are frequently genetically determined. The convulsions are not related to the degree of temperature, but are frequent if temperature rises abruptly. Febrile convulsions may be (i) simple, benign; or (ii) atypical, complex. Lumbar puncture should be performed in the first episode of febrile seizure, in infants below 1 yr who are not immunized with Hib and pneumococcal vaccine, In all patients with febrile convulsions, a lumbar puncture is not required routinely. EEG and neuroimaging have no role in febrile seizures.

The highest concentration of cystine can be found in?
Keratins are a type of intermediate filament that comprises a large poion of many epithelial cells. The characteristics of skin, nails, and hair are all due to keratins. Keratins contain a large amount of the disulfide amino acid cystine. Approximately 14% of the protein composing human hair is cystine. This is the chemical basis of depilatory creams, which are reducing agents that render keratins soluble by breaking the disulfide bridges of these insoluble proteins. The basic structure of intermediate filament proteins is a two- or three-stranded a-helical core 300 amino acids in length. Note: Cystine storage disease: Defective carrier-mediated transpo of cystine results in cystinosis with deposition of cystine crystals in tissues and early moality from acute renal failure.
