Which of the following is supplied by the abdominal aorta?
Normally the lung tissue is not supplied by aorta. But, when an abnormal lung tissue persists from the embryonic life, this tissue is known as a sequestrated lung tissue. It may be covered by its own pleura when existing outside the lung, or may lie within the lung. The blood supply to this tissue is by an abnormal branch from aorta.

Which of the following is true about xeroderma pigmentosa?
Ans. is 'd' i.e., DNA repair defect Xeroderma pigmentosaA. Molecular defect: - Exposure to UV rays damages DNA due to production of convalent linkages between adjacent pyrimidines (pyrimidine dimmers). Normally the damaged DNA is repaired by excision and repair. In xeroderma pigmentosa the repair of UV damaged DNA is defective. It is an autosomal recessive disorder.B. Clinical features: - Photosensitivity, multiple freckles, hypopigmented macules, xeroderma. There is increased risk of skin malignancy (Basal cell carcinoma, Squamous cell carcinoma, malignant melanoma). Most patients die before the age of 20 years (Premature death).

These generally result from blunt trauma to the orbit by a large object such as a cricket ball, tennis ball, human fist. The force of the blow causes a backward displacement of the eyeball and an increase in the intraorbital pressure; with a resultant fracture at the weakest point of the orbital wall. Usually this point is the orbital floor , but this may be the medial wall also. Ref: Parson's 22 nd edition , page no. 499

Conjunctival mucosal overgrowth over cornea?
Ans. is 'a' i.e., Pterygium Pterygium Pterygium is a non-cancerous (non-neoplastic) growth of conjunctiva, characterized by a wing-shaped fold of conjunctiva encroaching upon the cornea from either side within the interpalpebral fissure. Pterygium is always situated in the palpebral apeure. Pathologically Pterygium is a degenerative and hyperplastic condition of conjunctiva. The subconjunctival tissue undergoes elastotic degeneration and proliferates as vascularized granulation tissue under the epithelium, which ultimately encroaches the cornea. The corneal epithelium, Bowman's layer and stroma are destroyed. Etiology & Clinical features Pterygium is more common in people with excess outdoor exposure to sunlight (UV rays), dry heat, high wind and abundance of dust. Therefore it is more common in those who work outdoors. Clinically it presents as a triangular fold of conjunctiva encroaching the cornea in the area of palpebral apeure, usually on the nasal side. Other findings are stocker's line (deposition of iron) Ptergyium is an asymptomatic condition in the early stages, except for cosmetic intolerance. Visual disturbance or corneal astigmatism may occur. Visual disturbances are due to encroachment of pterygium on pupillary area or corneal astigmatism. Occasionally diplopia may occur due to limitation of ocular movements. Treatment Asymptomatic pterygium which is not progressive is best left alone. Surgical excision is the only satisfactory treatment and is indicated for : - 1) Cosmetic reasons, 2) Continued progression threatening to encroach onto the pupillary area (once the pterygium has encroached pupillary area, wait till it crosses on the other side), 3) Diplopia due to interference in ocular movement.

Which of the following findings most strongly indicates a sizable intra-abdominal hemorrhage in a ruptured ectopic pregnancy?
Symptoms and signs of Ectopic pregnancy - "Classical" cases are characterized by variably delayed menstruation followed by slight vaginal bleeding or spotting. With rupture, there is usually severe lower abdominal and pelvic pain that is frequently described as sharp, stabbing, or tearing, while the patient may also present with hypotension, tachycardia, or even shock The posterior vaginal fornix may bulge because of blood in the rectouterine cul-de-sac, or a tender, boggy mass may be felt to one side of the uterus. Symptoms of diaphragmatic irritation, characterized by pain in the neck or shoulder, especially on inspiration, develop in women with sizable intraperitoneal hemorrhage.

Characteristic radiological feature of fibrous dysplasia
Ans is 'c' i.e. Ground glass appearance "In long bones, the fibrous dysplastic lesions are typically well-defined, radiolucent areas with thin cortices and a ground-glass appearance "- HarrisonFibrous DysplasiaIt is characterized by the replacement of normal lamellar cancellous bone by an abnormal fibrous tissue that contains small, abnormally arranged trabeculae of immature woven bone.It may affect one bone (monostotic form) or several bones (polyostotic form).The monostotic form is the most common and is usually diagnosed in patients between 20 and 30 years of age without associated skin lesions. The polyostotic form typically manifests in children <10 years of age and may progress with age. Monostotic fibrous dysplasia most commonly affects the femur--particularly the femoral neck--as well as the tibia and ribs.Polyostotic fibrous dysplasia most commonly affects the maxilla and other craniofacial bones, ribs, and metaphyseal or diaphyseal portions of the proximal femur or tibia.Radiographic FindingsIn long bones, the fibrous dysplastic lesions are typically well-defined, radiolucent areas with thin cortices and a ground-glass appearance. The articular ends are usually spared.Involvement of facial bones usually presents as radiodense lesions, which may create a leonine appearance (leontiasis osea).TreatmentThere is no established effective treatmentIV bisphosphonate therapy- Improvement in bone pain and partial or complete resolution of radiographic lesions have been reported after IV bisphosphonate therapySurgical stabilization is used to prevent pathologic fracture or destruction of a major joint space and to relieve nerve root or cranial nerve compression or sinus obstructionComplicationsMost common complication is pathologic fractureShepherd's crook deformity - If fracture occurs at the femoral neck, it commonly leads to a deformity called "shepherd's crook"Expanding bone lesions may cause pain, deformity and nerve entrapment.Sarcomatous transformation of either form of fibrous dysplasia is extremely rare, but it may occur spontaneously or, more commonly, after radiation therapyAssociated Disorders Albright-McCune SyndromeIt includes:polyostotic fibrous dysplasiaendocrine hyperfunction (pseudo-precocious puberty)abnormal pigmentationThe most common Endocrinopathy assoc. with Albright McCune syndrome is isosexual pseudo-precocious puberty in girls.Other less common endocrine disorders include thyrotoxicosis, Cushing syndrome, acromegaly, hyperparathyroidism, hyperprolactinemia, and pseudo-precocious puberty in boys.Much more common in girls (Male Female ratio-1:10)* The cafe au lait spots seen in Albright-McCune syndrome have characteristically irregular ragged borders (commonly called "coast of Maine" borders), as opposed to the smoothly marginated borders ("coast of California") of the spots seen in neurofibromatosis.Mazabraud Syndrome It includes:polyostotic fibrous dysplasia andsoft-tissue myxomas

Sympathectomy of the kidney results in which of the following responses?
The kidney is innervated primarily by the sympathetic nervous system and as such, regulates the contraction of the smooth muscle surrounding the afferent and efferent aerioles of the glomerulus. Sympathetic stimulation to the efferent glomerular aerioles causes the constriction and increases the filtration rate, leading to an increase in urinary output. Similarly, with the loss of sympathetic innervation, such as due to sympathectomy of the kidney, relaxation of tone of the afferent aerioles occurs and the filtration rate increases which results in an increased urine output. Decreased urine output may result from the restriction of the afferent aerioles, leading to a decrease in glomerular filtration rate. Ref: Eaton D.C., Pooler J.P. (2009). Chapter 1. Renal Functions, Anatomy, and Basic Processes. In D.C. Eaton, J.P. Pooler (Eds), Vander's Renal Physiology, 7e.

What is true of fetal hematopoiesis in the course of pregnancy?
Fetal hematopoiesis: yolk sac - fetal liver - fetal bone marrow. The first fetal erythrocytes are nucleated and macrocytic. MCV is 180 fL and normally decreases to 105 to 115 fL. As the fetus grows, the blood volume in fetoplacental circulation increases. The fetalhemoglobin concentration increases from 12 gm/dL in mid pregnancy to 18 gm/dL at term. The retic count decreases to about 4 to 5 % at term. The RBC life span increases to 90 days at term.

The rare modes of infection are through hematogenous spread from tubercular focus in lung, tonsils, cervical lymph nodes; or due to ingestion of infected cow's milk. It usually affects children and young adults. Clinical features Generally, tuberculosis of middle ear is unilateral. It is characterized by painless otorrhoea which fails to respond to the usual antimicrobial treatment. There is painless watery otorrhea. Single or multiple perforation of tympanic membrane. There may be multiple perforations in the early stages, but they coalesce into a large tympanic membrane perforation accompanied by a pale granulation tissue. Periauricular fistulae, lymphadenopathy and facial palsy are infrequent findings. Late complications include facial paralysis, labyrinthitis, postauricular fistulae, subperiosteal abscess, petrous apicitis and intracranial extension of infection.

Polymer of fructose
Ans. c (Inulin) (Ref. Ganong.-23rd/Ch. 38. 26th/pg. 105).Substances Used to Measure GFRIn addition to the requirement that it be freely filtered and neither reabsorbed nor secreted in the tubules, a substance suitable for measuring the GFR should be nontoxic and not metabolized by the body. Inulin, a polymer of fructose with a molecular weight of 5200 that is found in dahlia tubers, meets these criteria in humans and most animals and is extensively used to measure GFR. Radioisotopes such as 51Cr-EDTA are also used, but inulin remains the standard substance. In practice, a loading dose of inulin is administered intravenously, followed by a sustaining infusion to keep the arterial plasma level constant. After the inulin has equilibrated with body fluids, an accurately timed urine specimen is collected and a plasma sample obtained halfway through the collection. Plasma and urinary inulin concentrations are determined and the clearance calculated. The GFR in a healthy person of average size is approximately 125 mL/min.CLASSIFICATION OF IMPORTANT SUGARS AldosesKetosesTrioses (C3H6O3)GlyceroseDihydroxyacetoneTetroses (C4H8O4)ErythroseErythrulosePentoses (C5Hl0O5)RiboseRibuloseHexoses (C6H12O6)GlucoseFructoseHexoses of Physiologic ImportanceSugarSourceImportanceClinical significanceD-GlucoseFruit juices.

Bacteriological Indicators of Water Quality E Coli: Best indicator. Ideally water should be coliform free except large urban water supplies where up to 5% contamination is acceptable if samples are taken up to 1year. For this screening test used is presumptive coliform count, MPN (Most Probable Number) and multiple tube test. Diagnostic test is EIJKMAN'S test. Faecal streptococci: Best tells recent contamination Clostridium perfringens: Best tells remote contamination

Type of sampling shown in Figure is
Ans- A Simple random sampling Ref - Review: Simple Random Sampling Do you remember how simple random sampling works? Visually, it's just numbering each individual and randomly selecting a certain number of them. Here's the image we used in the previous section: Stratified Sampling Stratified sampling is different. With this technique, we separate the population using some characteristic, and then take a proportional random sample from each. A stratified sample is obtained by separating the population into non-overlapping groups called strata and then obtaining a proportional simple random sample from each group. The individuals within each group should be similar in some way. Visually, it might look something like the image below. With our population, we can easily separate the individuals by color. Once we have the strata determined, we need to decide how many individuals to select from each stratum. (Man, that's a weird word!) The key here is that the number selected should be proportional. In our case, 1/4 of the individuals in the population are blue, so 1/4 of the sample should be blue as well. Working things out, we can see that a stratified (by color) random sample of 4 should have 1 blue, 1 green, and 2 reds. Example 1 One easy example using a stratified technique would be a sampling of people at ECC. To make sure that a sufficient number of students, faculty, and staff are selected, we would stratify all individuals by their status - students, faculty, or staff. (These are the strata.) Then, a proportional number of individuals would be selected from each group. Systematic Sampling A systematic sample is obtained by selecting every kth individual from the population. The first individual selected corresponds to a random number between 1 and k. So to use systematic sampling, we need to first order our individuals, then select every kth. (More on how to select k in a bit.) In our example, we want to use 3 for k? Can you see why? Think what would happen if we used 2 or 4. For our starting point, we pick a random number between 1 and k. For our visual, let's suppose that we pick 2. The individuals sampled would then be 2, 5, 8, and 11. In general we find k by taking N/n and rounding down to the nearest integer. For another take, watch this YouTube video: Example 2 Systematic sampling works well when the individuals are already lined up in order. In the past, students have often used this method when asked to survey a random sample of ECC students. Since we don't have access to the complete list, just stand at a corner and pick every 10th* person walking by. * Of course, choosing 10 here is just an example. It would depend on the number of students typically passing by that spot and what sample size was needed. Cluster Sampling Cluster sampling is often confused with stratified sampling, because they both involve "groups". In reality, they're very different. In stratified sampling, we split the population up into groups (strata) based on some characteristic. A cluster sample is obtained by selecting all individuals within a randomly selected collection or group of individuals. In essence, we use cluster sampling when our population is already broken up into groups (clusters), and each cluster represents the population. That way, we just select a certain number of clusters. With our visual, let's suppose the 12 individuals are paired up just as they were sitting in the original population. Since we want a random sample of size four, we just select two of the clusters. We would number the clusters 1-6 and use technology to randomly select two random numbers. It might look something like this: Example 3 One situation where cluster sampling would apply might be in manufacturing. Suppose your company makes light bulbs, and you'd like to test the effectiveness of the packaging. You don't have a complete list, so simple random sampling doesn't apply, and the bulbs are already in boxes, so you can't order them to use systematic. And all the bulbs are essentially the same, so there aren't any characteristics with which to stratify them. To use cluster sampling, a quality control inspector might select a certain number of entire boxes of bulbs and test each bulb within those boxes. In this case, the boxes are the clusters. Convenience Sampling Other methods do exist for finding samples of populations. In fact, you've seen some already. Probably the most common is the so-called convenience sample. Convenience samples are just what they sound like - convenient. Unfortunately, they're rarely representative. Think of the radio call-in show, those people in the shopping malls trying to survey you about your purchasing habits, or even the voting on American Idol! Here's a specific example. It's a poll on beliefnet.com, titled "What Evangelicals Want". All online polls use, by nature, convenience sampling. According to the article, "The poll was promoted on Beliefnet's web site and through its newsletters." Only those evangelicals who visit this particular web site and actually answer the survey are included. Beware any poll result taken with convenience sampling. Multistage Sampling Often one technique isn't possible, so many professional polling agencies use a technique called multistage sampling. The strategy is relatively self-explanatory - two or more sampling techniques are used. For example, consider the light-bulb example we looked at earlier with cluster sampling. Let's suppose that the bulbs come off the assembly line in boxes that each contain 20 packages of four bulbs each. One strategy would be to do the sample in two stages: Stage 1: A quality control engineer removes every 200th box coming off the line. (The plant produces 5,000 boxes daily. (This is systematic sampling.) Stage 2: From each box, the engineer then samples three packages to inspect. (This is an example of cluster sampling.) The US Census also uses multistage sampling. If you haven't already (you should have!), read Section 1.4 in your text for more details. Summary Here's a visual summary of the four main sampling strategies: Simple Random: Stratified: Systematic: Cluster:
