Which of the following neurotransmitter is having only inhibitory action?
|
GABA is the major inhibitory mediator in the brain and mediates both presynaptic and postsynaptic inhibition. GABA, which exists as -aminobutyrate in the body fluids, is formed by decarboxylation of glutamate by the enzymeglutamate decarboxylase (GAD), which is present in nerve endings in many pas of the brain. Glutamate is the main excitatory transmitter in the brain and spinal cord and has been calculated to be responsible for 75% of the excitatory transmission in the CNS. Glycine has both excitatory and inhibitory effects in the CNS. Ref: Barrett K.E., Barman S.M., Boitano S., Brooks H.L. (2012). Chapter 7. Neurotransmitters & Neuromodulators. In K.E. Barrett, S.M.

Dislufiram acts by blocking
|
DISULFIRAM is a DETERRANT which acts by blocking acetaldehyde dehydrogenase When acetaldehyde dehydrogenase is blocked there will be increased amount of acetaldehyde that acts on mast cells and results in release of histamine that in turn leads to allergic reaction. Thus when a patient on disulfiram takes alcohol there would be allergic reaction that prevents the patient from using the substance Ref.Kaplon and Sadock, synopsis of psychiatry, 11 th edition, Pg,No.625

Rate controlling enzyme of fatty acid synthesis
|
Carboxylation of Acetyl CoA The first step in the fatty acid synthesis is the carboxylation of acetyl CoA to form malonyl CoA. The acetyl CoA carboxylase is not a pa of the multienzyme complex. But it is the rate-limiting enzyme. Biotin, a member of B complex vitamins, is necessary for this reaction (step 1 in Fig. 11.15). The enzyme is allosterically regulated, the major effectors being citrate (positive) and palmitoyl CoA (negative). The reaction is similar to carboxylation of pyruvate to form oxaloacetate. The elongation of the fatty acid occurs by addition of 2 carbon atoms at a time. But the 2-carbon units are added as 3-carbon, malonyl units. The whole reaction sequence occurs while the intermediates are bound to ACP (acyl carrier protein).Ref: DM Vasudevan - Textbook of Biochemistry, 8th edition, page no: 137

Increased 5 Hydroxy-Indole-acetic acid in urine is seen in:
|
Carcinoid tumors are neuroendocrine tumors of Argentaffin cells that secrete serotonin. 5 Hydroxy-Indole-acetic acid(5-HIAA) is a metabolites of Tryptophan/Serotonin that is clasically elevated in typical carcinoid tumors. Urinary excretion of HIAA is diagnostic test for identification of Carcinoid tumors. Carcinoid Tumors: Carcinoid tumors are neuroendocrine tumors of Argentaffin cells that secrete excess serotonin. Ordinarily only 1% of total tryptophan is conveed to serotonin but in carcinoid tumors 50-60% of available tryptophan is conveed to serotonin. The diagnosis of carcinoid syndrome relies on measurement of urinary or plasma serotonin or its metabolites in the urine. Serotonin is typically degraded to 5-HIAA (Hydroxy-indole acetic acid) in presence of monoamine oxidase(MAO) and is excreted in urine. In carcinoid syndrome large amounts of 5-HIAA is formed and is excreted in urine Carcinoid Syndromes may fuher be divided into Typical Carcinoid Syndromes and atypical carcinoid syndromes depending on the metabolites raise in urine and blood. Typical carcinoid syndrome: Elevated levels of Plasma serotonin Elevated levels of urinary (5HIAA) Atypical Carcinoid Syndrome: Plasma serotonin levels are normal Plasma and urinary levels of 5HTP are increased (Urinary 5HIAA may be normal or midly elevated) Ref: Harper

Klioze MD The above mentioned aicle has classified visceral organs into 3 categories: Uterus Uterus is the least likely site of involvement in Leprosy "Although Leprosy rarely involves the female genital tract, the ovary is the most commonly involved gynaecological site" - Blaustein's Pathology of the Female Genital Tract "There is little or no involvement of the female genital tract. 3 The repoed incidence of involvement of the ovary ranges from none or very litile,63.73'141 to almost half (47%) of cases."- International Journal of Dermatology: Visceral leprosy, Andria M.

Now this aicle fuher describes leprosy involvement of each and every organ system in detail. Under its description of Female reproductive system the aicle describes involvement of only ovary and does not even mention uterus. The exact lines are quoted below: 'There is little or no involvement of the female genital tract. The repoed incidence of involvement of the ovary ranges from none or very little, to almost half (47%) of cases. Menarche, menstruation, feility, and menopause do not seem to be affected." So to summarize: we have 2 Reference clearly stating that female genital tract is very rarely involved, and if there is any involvement, ovary is the most common genital organ to be involved.

True about bacteriophage -

Ans. is 'd' i.e., All of the above Bacteriophage (phage)o Bacteriophages are viruses that infect bacteria.o Phages play an important role in the transmission of genetic information between bacteria by the process of transduction.o The presence of phage genome integrated with bacterial chromosome confer bacteria certain properties by a process known as phage conversion.o Phages have been used as cloning vectors in genetic manipulation.Life cvcle of bacteriophageo Bacteriophage exhibit two types of life-cycleVirulent or lyticReplication of phage inside bacteria leads to lysis of bacteria.Temperate or nonlvtic cyclePhage DNA becomes integrated with the bacterial chromosome and multiplies synchronously with host DNA.Integrated phage genome is known as prophage.This process of integration is called as lysogeny.Bacteria harbouring prophage are called as lysogenic bacteria.The prophage confers certain new properties on lysogenic bacterium - Lysogenic conversion or phage conversionThis is due to synthesis of new proteins that are coded for by the prophage DNA.Example is Lysogenic conversion in diphtheria bacilli, which acquire toxigenicity (virulence) by lysogenisation with the beta phage.A lysogenic bacterium is resistant to reinfection by the same or related phages i.e., Superinfection immunity'.

Male with history of bilateral undescended testis
|
Male with bilateral undescended testis (especially intra-abdominal testes) are usually sterile. To optimise spermatogenesis the testis needs to be in the scrotum below body temperature at a young age. Incompletely descended testes are often macroscopically normal in early childhood but by pubey the testis is poorly developed, gradually atrophies. The epithelial elements are immature histologically and by late pubey irreversible destructive changes halt spermatogenesis and limit the production of androgens leading to sterility.Malignant transformation in undescended testis is 20 times more common than normally descended testis. Pathophysiology include gubernacular dysfunction, lack of gonadotrophin, lack of 'calcitonin gene related peptide'(CGRP) , familial , altered hypothalamo-pituitary-gonadal axis, deficiency of mullerian inhibiting substance, Prune-Belly syndrome. These patients also require psychological intervention. Reference : page77 and 1377 Bailey and Love's sho practice of surgery 25th edition and page1079 SRB's manual of surgery 5th edition

According to Tanner stages of development, which is the first sign of pubey in females?
|
GnRH stimulates secretion of LH and FSH which causes the ovary to produce estrogens. Subsequently changes of pubey occur including breast development (thelarche), development of pubic and axillary hair (pubarche), the growth spu (peak height velocity), and onset of menstruation (menarche). Thelarche (breast development) is the first sign of pubey (Tanner stage B2). It usually begins between 8 and 10 years of age and is associated with increased estrogen production. Pubarche (development of pubic and axillary hair) is the second stage in maturation and typically occurs between 11 and 12 years of age. Axillary hair usually appears after the growth of pubic hair is complete. Menarche (onset of menstruation) usually occurs 2-3 years after thelarche at an average age of 11-13 years. Initial cycles are often anovulatory and irregular. Ref: Blueprints Obstetrics & Gynecology By Tamara L. Callahan, Aaron B Caughey, Aaron B Caughey, M.D., 2008, Page 212 ; Obstetrics and Gynaecology at a Glance By Errol R. Norwitz, John O.

Most common surgical cause of obstructive jaundice-
|
Ans. is 'd' i.e., CBD stones o Most common surgical cause of obstructive jaundice is choledocholithiasiso Stone disease is the most common cause of obstructive jaundice. Gallstones may pass through the CBD and cause obstruction and symptoms of biliary colic and cholecystitis. Larger stones can become lodged in the CBD and cause complete obstruction, with increased intraductal pressure throughout the biliary tree. Mirizzi syndrome is the presence of a stone impacted in the cystic duct or the gallbladder neck, causing inflammation and external compression of the common hepatic duct and thus biliary obstruction.

All of the following are seen in retinitis pigmentosa except: September 2009
|
Ans. A: Prominent retinal vessels The condition is abiotrophic in nature (premature senility and death of tissue) and genetically determined. Autosomal recessive is the most common and is very severe. Autosomal dominant is benign and is symptomatic only in adult life. X-linked recessive is least common. It is also a very severe form. Degeneration of rods commences near the equator. Macular region is not affected until late in the disease. The symptoms of retinitis pigmentosa are characteristic, the most prominent being defective vision in the dusk (night blindness/nyctalopia). It is due to degeneration of rods, which are primarily responsible for vision in low illumination. The visual field show concentric reduction. In early cases a paial or complete annular/ring scotoma is found. As the disease progresses the field becomes gradually smaller until at last it is reduced to a restricted area around the fixation point (tubular vision).Hence person has difficulty in moving about. Initially the equatorial region is affected. Ophthalmoscopic findings in the affected zones shows the retina studded with small, jet black spots resembling bone corpuscles with a spidery outline. The retinal pigment epithelium becomes transparent so that the choroid vessels become visible and the fundus appears tessellated or tigroid. The retinal veins, never the aeries, often have a sheath of pigment for pa of their course. The retinal vessels becomes extremely attenuated and thread like. The disc exhibits the characteristics of primary optic atrophy. It is pale and have a wax like yellowish appearance and is often termed as 'consecutive optic atrophy' (Ganglion cells destroyed with degeneration of the axial cylinders and optic nerve is known as consecutive atrophy). Ocular associations of retinitis pigmentosa are myopia, chronic simple glaucoma. Systemic associations of retinitis pigmentosa are in the form of various syndromes: Laurence - Moon - Biedl syndrome - obesity, hypogonadism, polydactyly and mental retardation. Usher's syndrome - deaf mutism. Secondary retinitis pigmentosa due to infections like syphilis, mumps, German measles (rubella) and due to drug like chloroquine must be differentiated from primary retinitis pigmentosa. Treatment: is unsatisfactory Vasodilators - nicotinic acid. High doses of Vitamin A.

Which of the following is the most specific test for Rheumatoid arthritis
|
Ans. is 'a' i.e. Anti-ccp antibody Rheumatoid factor is an autoantibody, usually IgM directed against the Fc region of IgG.Despite its name, rheumatoid factor is not specific for rheumatoid arthritis, it can also be seen in wide range of autoimmune disorders, inflammatory disease and chronic infections. *Anticitrullinated peptide antibody test (Anti ccp) test is more specific than rheumatoid factor for diagnosis of rheumatoid arthritis, It may be positive very early in the course of the disease.Oxford Journal of medicine states "Anti-cyclic citrullinate peptide (anti-ccp) antibody testing is particularly useful in the diagnosis of rheumatoid arthritis with high specificity, present early in the disease process and has ability to identify patients who are likely to have severe disease and irreversible damage. Anti ccp antibodies have not been found at a significant frequency in other diseases to date and are more specific than Rheumatoid factor for detecting rheumatoid arthritisAlso knowDiagnosis of Rheumatoid arthritisThere is no single sign, symptom or test result that allows the definitive diagnosis of rheumatoid arthritis.Instead, the diagnosis is based on a consideration of many factors, including the presence of characteristic signs and symptoms of rheumatoid arthritis, the results of laboratory tests, and the result of X-rays.The diagnosis of R. A. is based on the presence of at least four of the following criteria :Morning stiffness that lasts at least one hour and that has been present for at least six weeks.Swelling of at least three or more joints for 6 weeks.Swelling of the wrist, metacarpophalangeal (MCP), or proximal interphalangeal (I.T.P.) joints for at least six weeks.Swelling of the same joint on both sides of the bodyChanges in hand X-rays that are characteristic of rheumatoid arthritisRheumatoid nodules of the skin.Rheumatoid factor found in the blood.

Which of the following is the best way of preventing development of deep vein thrombosis (DVT) in post-operative period?
|
Ans is 'c' i.e. Prophylactic Heparin Patients are at increased risk for developing venous thromboembolism after:Major abdominal surgery Major orthopaedic surgery has sustained, major trauma has prolonged immobility (>3 days)These patients need some form of prophylaxis. The prophylaxis can be mechanical or pharmacological.Prophylaxis for DVT Mechanical prophylaxis includes: i: ' ' ' - V, .V? 'Early ambulation **Pneumatic compression devices **It is the simplest method of prophylaxis It acts by activating the calf pump mechanism It is the most common method of prophylaxisPneumatic compresses prevents the stasis by periodically compressing the calvesPharmacological prophylaxis includes: Use of unfractionated heparin * Use of fractionated low molecular * weight heparin *Now being replaced by fractionated low molecular weight hepatin Better efficacy than unfractionated heparin No laboratory monitoring is necessaryComparison of low molecular weight heparin (LMWH) with mechanical prophylaxis demonstrates superiority of low molecular weight heparin (LMWH) in reduction of the development of venous thromboembolic disease.Prospective trials evaluating LMWH in head injured and trauma patients have also proven safety of LMWH with no increase in intracranial bleeding or major bleeding at other sites. In addition, LMWH shows significant reduction in the development of venous thromboembolism compared to other methods.In short, LMWH should be considered the optimal method of prophylaxis in moderate and high risk patients.Even the traditional reluctance to use heparin in high risk groups such as the multiply injured trauma patient and the injured patient must be reexamined, given the efficacy and safety profile of LMWH in multiple prospective trials.

A 69-year-old man with a history of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease/chronic bronchitis is admitted with increasing sputum production, fever, chills, and decreased O2 saturation. His chest x-ray shows a left lower lobe nonhomogeneous opacity. He is treated with IV antibiotics and improves. On the fouh hospital day, prior to discharge, CXR is repeated and the radiologist repos that there is no change as compared to the admission x-ray. Chest x-rays are shown.What will you do next?
|
This chest x-ray shows an ill-defined, patchy opacity in the left middle and left lower zones. Incomplete consolidation with air bronchogram is seen. The left hea border is clear, but the silhouette of the left diaphragm is lost. This is consistent with the left lower pneumonia. This patient with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease has left lower lobe pneumonia. The clinical history suggests that the patient improved on the fouh hospital day of treatment. Chest x-ray improvement usually lags behind and does not temporally correspond with clinical change. In this case the patient is improving and therefore the best option is to discharge the patient on continued antibiotics. There is no indication for either deferring the discharge or resuming IV antibiotics on the basis of a nonresolving x-ray at this stage. Bronchoscopy for drainage would not be indicated, and obtaining a CT scan would not alter the treatment or management plan at this stage.

A 70-year-old diabetic and hypeensive patient was being investigated for angina and a coronary angiogram was performed. Two days later, he developed fever and abdominal discomfo and dyspnea and a mottled skin rash. His great toe appeared black. His BP increased to 180/100. His creatinine was found to have risen from a pre-angiography level of 1.2 to 3.6 mg/dl. He has eosinophilia. Which one of the following statements is TRUE regarding this condition?
|
Diabetes and angina both point to atherosclerosis. In patients undergoing angiography, catheterization can lead to embolism of a vulnerable atherosclerotic plaque in descending aoa downstream to renal aeries leading to an atheroembolic kidney disease. The symptoms of diabetic patient developed after angiography and since atherosclerotic lesion can involve the aoa, the atheroembolic event would explain the events. Presence of eosinophilia and mottling of toes and reduced kidney function confirm the diagnosis as Atheroembolic kidney disease. Hence Choice D is the answer. Lab findings include Rising serum creatinine Transient eosinophilia Elevated sedimentation rate Hypocomplementemia Definitive diagnosis by doing kidney biopsy:- Microvessel obstruction with cholesterol crystals that leave a cleft in the vessel. Contrast-induced nephropathy can occur in diabetics with chronic kidney disease. However rash, toe discoloration with the sudden rise of creatinine and eosinophilia are not seen in contrast-induced nephropathy. Hence choice B is ruled out Choice A is ruled out as it prevents contrast-induced nephropathy Choice C is ruled as out as heparin will not manage cholesterol embolism
| 4 |
N-acetylcysteine would have prevented this condition
|
This is contrast-induced nephropathy
|

A 75 year old female with a long history of cigarette smoking is found to have a small tumor at the periphery of her right upper lobe. Initially, the tumor was believed to be a Stage I carcinoma (T1 NO MO), but after surgery it is found to be Stage II (T1 N1 MO). What is found at surgery that changed the staging?
|
Although it is nearly impossible to memorize the staging rules for all the different kinds of tumors, there are several basic principles common to all. The TNM stage of a tumor is determined by the tumor size and extent (T for tumor), lymph node involvement (N for nodes), and metastasis (M for metastasis). N0 always means no lymph nodes are involved. An NI lesion has positive nodes, and only 2nd choice, positive bronchial lymph nodes, changes the patient's nodal status. Involvement of the chest wall is a feature of tumor size and extent-thus, it is a component of the T in TNM-staging. T2 lesions involve the chest wall. Histological features of the tumor, such as small cell morphology , are not considered in tumor stage, but rather in tumor grade. Small cell tumors are considered high-grade carcinomas. Tumor extending to the carina reflects the tumor size and extent-thus, it is a component of the T in TNM-staging: T3 lesions involve the carina .

Pediatric treacheostomy
In most of the cases tracheostomy is performed with general anesthesia and the patient intubated and paralyzed.
Neck is extended.
A horizontal incision is made halfway between the cricoid cartilage and the sternal notch.
Subcutaneous fat and tissues are reflected, and deep cervical facia, is cut to expose thyroid isthmus.
A vertical cut is given in 2-3 or 3-4 rings in midline and no part of the tracheal wall is removed.
The endotracheal tube is withdrawn and a suitable size tracheostomy tube is simultaneously inserted.
Post-operatively neck & chest radiograph are obtained to evaluate the position of the tube and to identify the subcutaneous emphysema & pneumothorax that could have developed as complication.
Tube must be cleaned at frequent intervals.
Patient should be nursed in and atmosphere of moist air.

A Patient presents with pain in Meta-Tarso-Phalangeal joints and is a known case of chronic renal failure. This is due to accumulation of:

Ans. b. Uric acid (Ref: Harrison 19/e p2233, 18/e p2837)The underlying basis of gouty arthritis is increased serum uric acid level.Most common joint involved in gout: Meta-Tarso-Phalangeal jointsQPrecipitation of monosodium urate crystalsQ into the joints is the underlying basis for these urate crystals is increased total body urate levels.Diagnosis in a 40 years old man, who presents with acute onset pain and swelling of left great toe and punched out lesion of phalanx and overhanging edges on X-ray is gout. (AIIMS November 2013 repeat)Gout is a metabolic disease that most often affects middle- aged to elderly men and postmenopausal women. It results from an increased body pool of urate with hyperuricemia. It typically is characterized by episodic acute and chronic arthritis caused by deposition of MSU crystals in joints and connective tissue tophi and the risk for deposition in kidney interstitium or uric acid nephrolithiasis. Usually, only one joint is affected initially and the metatarsophalangeal joint of the first toe is the most commonly involved joint. '- Harrison 18/e p2837'Radiographic Features of Gout: Early in the disease radiographic studies may only confirm clinically evident swelling. Cystic changes, well-defined erosions with sclerotic margins (often with overhanging bony edges), and soft tissue masses are characteristic features of advanced chronic tophaceous gout. Ultrasound, CT and MRI are being studied and are likely to become more sensitive for early changes. - Harrison 18/e p2837'Tophi appear as characteristic punched-out cysts or deep erosions in the para-articular bone ends. These excavations are larger and slightly further from the joint margin than the typical rheumatoid erosions. This punched out lesion in gouty arthritis is called Martel's sign, G sign or rat-bite erosion.''Gout: X-ray of feet demonstrated soft tissue swelling, cystic changes, and well-defined 'punched-out' type lytic lesions with sclerotic margins and overhanging bony edges (Martel's sign, G sign or rat-bite erosion).

Coarctation occurs in ~7% of patients with congenital hea disease, is more common in males than females, and is paicularly frequent in patients with gonadal dysgenesis (e.g., Turner syndrome). Clinical manifestations depend on the site and extent of obstruction and the presence of associated cardiac anomalies; most commonly a bicuspid aoic valve. Circle of Willis aneurysms may occur in up to 10%, and pose a high risk of sudden rupture and death. ( Harrison&;s principle of internal medicine,18th edition,pg no. 1925)

A 57-year-old boy has been diagnosed to have posterior superior retraction pocket cholesteatoma. All would constitute part of the management, except -
|
Ans-DMyringoplasty consists of closing a 'central perforation' in the tympanic membrane in the 'tubotympanic type' or 'safe type' of chronic suppurative otitis media. It is not indicated in the unsafe or dangerous type of otitis media with posterosuperior attic perforation.The patient in question is a case of the dangerous or unsafe type of CSOM as Signified by the presence of posterosuperior retraction pocket cholesteatoma.The mainstay in the treatment of this type of CSOM is surgery.- The primary aim is to remove the disease and render the ear safe.A secondary aim is to preserve or reconstruct hearing, but never at the cost of the primary aim.(Mastoid exploration) is the operation of choice.Tympanoplasty: forms part of the secondary aim to reconstruct hearing after a primary mastoid exploration.- Dangerous type CSOM is associated with a perforation in the attic or posterosuperior region of T.M. along with the variable extent of destruction of ossicles and other middle ear contents. Reconstruction of hearing in this type of CSOM thus requires the variable extent of ossicular reconstruction besides closure of perforation.Audiometry forms an important step in the evaluation of disease process preoperatively.Although myringoplasty also forms a type of tympanoplasty its use is limited to closure of a perforation in the parts tensa of tympanic membrane which is seen in safe type CSOM.

A 65-year-old man, with a 45-pack-per-year history of smoking, presents with hematuria and flank pain. He reports no fever, chills, or dysuria, but he has lost 15 lb. On examination the abdomen is soft, no mass is felt, and there is no flank tenderness on percussion. His hemoglobin (Hb) is 18.5 g/dL, and his liver enzymes are normal. A CT scan of the abdomen reveals a mass in the left kidney with involvement of the renal vein. Which of the following is the most likely diagnosis?
|
Age, history of smoking, and polycythemia in a patient with hematuria strongly suggests a renal cell carcinoma. The elevated hemoglobin represents increased erythropoietin production and is not related to prognosis. Involvement along the renal vein and metastases to the lung is also characteristic of renal cell carcinoma. Elevated liver enzymes and weight loss can represent nonmetastatic effects of malignancy and can reverse with resection. Almost half of patients will have a palpable abdominal mass on presentation. The CT of the thorax is a useful test because three-quarters of those with metastatic disease will have lung metastases.

CREST syndrome is an autoimmune condition which is associated with atrophy and fibrosis of the oesophageal musculature resulting in dysphagia and reflux-type symptoms. Which of the following is not a feature of CREST syndrome?
|
The scleroderma spectrum of disorders are a group of connective tissue diseases inclusive of localized scleroderma (affects skin only), Raynaud's (vasospastic involvement of the fingers) and systemic sclerosis which is itself divided into diffuse cutaneous systemic sclerosis (DCSS) and limited cutaneous systemic sclerosis (also known as CREST syndrome). The two conditions vary in their symptom pattern and onset, but both involve the internal organ systems, including the renal tract and lungs (causing failure and pulmonary fibrosis). Skin involvement in DCSS is severe and widespread, but organ involvement is maximal at around 3 years and then typically improves. In CREST skin involvement is confined to the face and extremities; however, organ involvement tends to be progressive and more severe. CREST syndrome is typified by the following features: Calcinosis, Raynaud's, esophageal disorders, sclerodactyly and telangiectasia. Diagnosis is clinical and backed by identification of ceain auto-antibodies. Anti-nuclear antibodies are usually present, anti-Scl-70 is positive in 40% of scleroderma, the presence of anti-centromere antibody occurs in 80%-90% of CREST and is suggestive of the diagnosis. However, auto-antibody testing is non-specific, and either antibody or both antibodies may occur in both conditions.
