Sample collection for renal tuberculosis is
BACTERIOLOGICAL:- The diagnosis of genitourinary TB is confirmed on a tuberculin test or atleast three consecutive early morning samples of urine are collected and sent for microscopy (Ziehl-Neelsen staining), culture on Lowenstein-Jensen medium. RADIOGRAPHY:- A plain abdominal radiograph may show calcified lesions of CEMENT KIDNEY. INTRAVENOUS UROGRAPHY:-EARLY:-Normally clear cut outline of renal papillae may be rendered indistinct by presence of ulceration. TUBERCULOUS ABSCESS:-Appears as SOL , which causes adjacent calyces to splay out. LATE:- Dilatation of contralateral ureter from obstruction where the ureters passes through thickened and oedmatous bladder wall. CYSTOSCOPY:- GOLF-HOLE ureteric orifice. CXR:-Active Lung lesion.

Fat soluble vitamins, especially A and D, can be stored in massive amounts and hence, have a potential for serious toxicities. Water soluble vitamins are easily excreted by the kidney and accumulation to toxic levels is much less common.

Mandibular nerve (V3 division). The Mandibular Nerve leaves the inferior margin of trigeminal ganglion and leaves the skull through the foramen ovale The Motor Root of the V3 also passes through the foramen ovale & unites with the sensory component of the mandibular nerve outside the skull, Thus, the mandibular nerve is the only branch of trigeminal nerve that contains a motor component.

A male 25 years old presents to the dental clinic due to food lodgement in lower back region tooth. He also gives the history of previous dental treatments of other teeth as well. On examination it is revealed that interproximal caries is present between right mandibular molars. The clinician restores the tooth with amalgam. The carving of the restoration can be done by which of the following ?
A discoid–cleoid instrument may be used to carve the occlusal surface of an amalgam restoration. The rounded end (discoid) is positioned on the unprepared enamel adjacent to the amalgam margin and pulled parallel to the margin. This removes any excess at the margin while not allowing the marginal amalgam to be carved below the preparation margins (i.e., “submarginated”). The pointed end (cleoid) of the instrument may be used to define the primary grooves, fossae, and cuspal inclines. The Hollenback carver is also useful for carving these areas.The reproduction of grooves and fossae is necessary to provide appropriate mastication and sluiceways for the escape of food from the occlusal table. The mesial and distal fossae are carved to be inferior to the marginal ridge height, helping limit the potential for food to be wedged into the occlusal embrasure. Having rounded and relatively shallow occlusal anatomy also helps achieve a 90-degree amalgam margin on the occlusal surface and to ensure adequate occlusogingival dimension of the final amalgam restoration for strength. Occlusal embrasure areas are developed with a thin explorer tip or carving instrument by mirroring the contours of the adjacent tooth. The explorer tip is pulled along the inside of the matrix band, creating the occlusal embrasure form.

Structure of proteins can be detected by all the methods, EXCEPT:
High-performance/pressure liquid chromatography (HPLC) is a technique used for enhanced and precise separation of even small amounts of biological and nonbiological molecules. HPLC columns utilize variations of the separation principle behind column chromatography, depending on variable attractive and repulsive forces on the gel material and their interaction with the biological molecules. The analysis of peptides and structure of proteins are done by mass spectrometry. NMR spectroscopy analyzes proteins in aqueous solution. Proteins and protein complexes of >100 kDa can be analyzed by NMR. Ref: Janson L.W., Tischler M.E. (2012). Appendix II. Biochemical Methods. In L.W. Janson, M.E.

All the following findings would be expected in a person with coarctation of the aoa ciccpt :
Answer is C (Inability to augment cardiac output with exercise) In coarctation of aoa unless the hypeension is very severe or left ventricular failure has ensued, cardiac output responds normally to exercise. Usually a systolic ejection murmur is heard anteriorly and over the back. If the obstruction is very severe a continuous murmur would be heard. Coarctation of aoa is commonly accompanied by a bicuspid aoic valve, which can produce the diastolic murmur of aoic regurgitation. Coarctation of the Aoa usually occurs just distal to the origin of the left subclan aery. If it arises above the left subclan, Aerial blood pressure elevation may be evident only in the right arm. In coarctation of aoa unless the hypeension is very severe or left ventricular failure has ensued, cardiac output responds normally to exercise. Hypeension is the major clinical problem and may persist even after complete surgical correction.

A 49-year-old man has had increasing knee and hip pain for the past 10 years. The pain is worse at the end of the day. During the past year, he has become increasingly drowsy at work. His wife complains that he is a "world class" snorer. During the past month, he has experienced bouts of sharp, colicky, right upper abdominal pain. On physical examination, his temperature is 37degC, pulse is 82/min, respirations are 10/ min, and blood pressure is 140/85 mm Hg. He is 175 cm (5 feet 8 inches) tall and weighs 156 kg (body mass index 51). Laboratory findings show glucose of 139 mg/dL, Hb A1c of 10, total cholesterol of 229 mg/dL, and HDL cholesterol of 33 mg/dL. An arterial blood gas measurement shows pH of 7.35; PCO2, 50 mm Hg; and PO2, 75 mm Hg. Which of the following additional conditions is most likely present in this man?
Morbid obesity can be associated with complications that include obesity hypoventilation syndrome, probable sleep apnea, glucose intolerance, cholelithiasis, and osteoarthritis. Macrovesicular steatosis with hepatomegaly is seen in obesity and may even progress to cirrhosis. Weight gain owing to hypothyroidism, which could occur in Hashimoto thyroiditis, is modest and does not lead to morbid obesity. An "obesity cardiomyopathy" resembles dilated cardiomyopathy, but not hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, which typically involves the interventricular septum with myofiber disarray. Laryngeal papillomatosis, which produces airway obstruction (without snoring), occurs more often in children and is not associated with obesity. The blood gas findings in this case could be seen in emphysema, which is not a complication of obesity; panlobular emphysema is much less common than the centrilobular emphysema associated with smoking. Rheumatoid arthritis tends to involve small joints first, and there is no relationship to obesity.

Which of the following promotes rouleaux formation?
When in circulation, the negative charge on the RBC membrane (or zeta potential) does not allow RBCs to clump. When blood is made to stand in a veical tube, the asymmetric macromolecules in the plasma overcome the zeta potential, so as to form the rouleaux and settling down of the RBC clumps. Fibrinogen and gamma-globulins are the examples of such asymmetric macromolecules. Plasma albumin retards the rouleaux formation. Hence, in nephrotic syndrome, in which the albumin levels fall, there is a rise in ESR.

Which of the following is/are TRUE about hypospadias? 1. Defect is seen in the ventral pa 2. Always associated with chordee 3. Associated with hooded prepuce 4. Circumcision should be avoided
About option 1 Hypospadias results from failure of fusion of the urethral folds on the undersurface of the genital tubercle so defect is seen on the ventral pa. About option 2 "In the penile variety (not other type- so not always present) the urethra and corpus spongiosum distal to the ectopic opening are absent. These structures are represented by a fibrous cord. Due to contracture of this fibrous cord, the penis is curved ventrally, which is known as chordee". About option 3 "In all cases the inferior aspect of the prepuce is poorly developed. As the superior aspect of the prepuce is almost normally developed whereas the inferior aspect is poorly developed, the prepuce takes the form of a hood and is called "hooded prepuce". About option 4 "Circumcision should not be done in these patients, as prepuce can be used later in surgical repair (85% of patients)" Ref: L & B 25/e, Page 1362-63 ; CSDT 11/e, Page 1028 ; Textbook Of Surgery By S.

In post-hepatic jaundice, the concentration of conjugated bilirubin in the blood is higher than that of unconjugated bilirubin because
Jaundice can be divided into 3 types on the basis of etiology- • Prehepatic jaundice The cause of jaundice is increased production of bilirubin for example- all causes which lead to increased hemolysis of RBCs ieHereditary spherocytosis Sickle cell anemia Thalassemia Malaria Drugs such as Methyl dopa*, quinine* etc. this would lead to an unconjugated hyperbilirubinemia Hepatic Jaundice Here the cause lies within the hepatocytes either a defect in the conjugated process or in the excretion of conjugated bilirubin into the bile for exampleall causes of hepatitis whether infection, alcohol, drugs, toxins or autoimmune congenital hyperbilirubinemia Post Hepatic jaundice Here the cause is the obstruction of the excretion of bile into the intestines. for example stone in CBD carcinoma in bile duct Pancreatic cancer etc. Thus as seen in post-Hepato hepatic jaundice the hepatocytes are unaffected. They continue their conjugation process without any interference leading to rise of conjugated bilirubin in blood
2
There is an increased rate of destruction of red blood cells
The conjugation process of bilirubin in liver remains operative without any interference
The unconjugated bilirubin is trapped by the bile stone produced in the bile duct

All of the following factors are involved in altered patterns of hormone release except
A patient in the intensive care unit, where the lights are on throughout the 24 hours of the day, will have a disrupted cycle of hormone release. Light plays an impoant role in generating the circadian rhythm of hormone secretion. This endogenous rhythm is generated through the interaction between the retina, the hypothalamic suprachiasmatic nucleus, and the pineal gland through the release of melatonin. Melatonin is a hormone synthesized and secreted by the pineal gland at night. Its rhythm of secretion is entrained to the light/dark cycle. Melatonin conveys information concerning the daily cycle of light and darkness to the body and paicipates in the organization of circadian rhythms. Other situations that disrupt the normal cycles of hormone release are travel across time zones, night-shift employment, and aging.

A 40-year-old man is brought to you by his friends. Apparently, he has ingested some unknown medication in a suicide attempt. The patient is disoriented to time. His temperature is 103 F, BP is 120/85 pulse 100/min and irregular, and respirations are 22/min. The skin is flushed and dry. Dilated pupils and muscle twitching are also noted on examination. ECG reveals prolonged QRS complexes. Hepatic transaminases are normal, and ABG shows a normal pH. These findings are most likely due to intoxication by which substance?
This patient's clinical picture is consistent with intoxication with tricyclic antidepressants such as amitriptyline and imipramine. Toxic effects are mediated by peripheral anticholinergic activity and "quinidine-like" action. The anticholinergic effects include mydriasis, tachycardia, impaired sweating with flushed skin, dry mouth, constipation, and muscle twitching. Quinidine-like effects (due to block of sodium channels in the hea) result in cardiac arrhythmias, especially ventricular tachyarrhythmias. In this setting, prolongation of the QRS complex is paicularly impoant in the diagnosis. QRS width is, in fact, an even more faithful parameter of drug toxicity than serum drug levels. In severe intoxication, patients will develop seizures, severe hypotension, and coma. Acetaminophen results in liver toxicity. Liver enzymes would be elevated. Alcohol intoxication manifests with respiratory depression, hypothermia, and coma. The manifestations of benzodiazepine intoxication are similar to alcohol inasmuch as central nervous system depression is common to both drugs. Thus, acute benzodiazepine intoxication produces stupor, coma, and respiratory depression. The sympatholytic propeies of clonidine explain the clinical symptoms of intoxication. Clonidine overdose causes bradycardia, hypotension, miosis, and respiratory depression. Monoamine oxidase (MAO) inhibitors represent a second-line treatment for major depression. Overdose induces ataxia, excitement, hypeension, and tachycardia. Such reactions can be precipitated by concomitant ingestion of tyramine-containing foods.

In infancy, atopic dermatitis spares
Atopic dermatitis (AD), or eczema, is the most common chronic relapsing skin disease seen in infancy and childhood. Infants with the AD are predisposed to the development of allergic rhinitis and/or asthma later in childhood, a process called "the atopic march.Major features:Pruritus Facial and extensor eczema in infants and childrenFlexural eczema in adolescentsChronic or relapsing dermatitisPersonal or family history of atopic diseaseMost patients with AD have dry, lackluster skin irrespective of their stage of illness. The AD is generally acuter in infancy and involves the face, scalp, and extensor surfaces of the extremities. The diaper area is usually spared. Older children and children with chronic AD have lichenification and localization of the rash to the flexural folds of the extremities.Reference: Nelson Textbook of Paediatrics; 20th edition; Chapter 145; Atopic Dermatitis (Atopic Eczema)

A 64-year-old man is having difficulty getting out of a chair. He has lost 15 lb and feels tired all the time. On examination, there is a blue purple rash on his eyelids and knuckles, and muscle strength in his proximal muscles is rated 4 out of 5. His creatinine kinase (CK) level is elevated and he is started on prednisone. Which of the following is the most important in monitoring response to therapy?
The course of muscle necrosis in dermatomyositis can be best followed by repeated CK determinations. Repeated muscle biopsies are rarely required. However, the goal of therapy is to increase muscle strength and function, so following muscle strength is the key clinical assessment of response to therapy.

Most lipogenic:
Unlike glucose, ingested fructose is preferentially metabolized by the liver. This and several other features of fructose metabolism make it an exceptionally lipogenic sugar. Lipogenesis is increased when sucrose is fed instead of glucose because fructose bypasses the phosphofructokinase control point in glycolysis and floods the lipogenic pathway. Increased dietary intake of fructose significantly elevates the production of acetyl CoA and lipogenes. Harper Pg 236, Satyanarayana Pg 279

Para meningeal Rhabdomyosarcoma is best diagnosed by :
Ans. is 'b' i.e. MRI I could not find any direct reference to this answer in all the books within my reach My answer is based on the basics of CT & MRICT is the best inv. for bone imaging. It has limitations for soft tissues, especially when the soft tissue lies with a skeletal framework.But MRI is excellent for soft tissue imaging and is more sensitive in detecting early brain damage.So for a parameningeal rhabdomyosarcoma the best investigation would be MRI as it would demonstrate very clearly its extension within the meninges.Harrison 15/e, on page 2337 states that the : Best investigation for a primary or metastatic brain tumor is - MRI Best investigation for meningeal disease - MRIThis information further supports my answer.

Rate limiting step in porphyrin synthesis is
The synthesis stas with the condensation of succinyl CoA and glycine in the presence of pyridoxal phosphate to form delta amino levulinic acid (ALA).The enzyme ALA synthase is located in the mitochondria and is the rate limiting ezyme of pathway. Next few steps occurs in cytoplasm.2 molecules of ALA are condensed to form porphobilinogen (PBG) Condensation of 4 molecules of PBG results in the formation of the first porphyrin of the pathway,namely urobilinogen.

Three mix MP triple antibiotic paste consists of
Triple antibiotic paste Consists of metronidazole, ciprofloxacin, and minocycline in a macrogol/propylene glycol ointment. It is inserted into canal with a sterile Lentulo spiral and left in the canal for 2-4 weeks. Advantages:  - Very effective in elimination of intracanal microbes Broad spectrum action Easy to prepare as ingredients are easily prepared Disadvantages of triple AB paste: Difficult to test the antimicrobial effectiveness in endodontic models due to absence of an inactivator to prevent the carryover effect. Combination of bactericidal and bacteriostatic antibiotic is not rational scientifically Tetracycline analogs like minocycline can cause discoloration of tooth due to diffusion into dentinal tubules. Hence the mix should never be left in the coronal pulp chamber
