Ferning of cervical mucus depends upon:
|
The Ferning of the cervical mucus is because of the high estrogen content and its DOES NOT diagnose ovulation. Maximum before ovulation and once ovulation happens, the ferning actually reduces and finally disappears due to the high progesterone. This implies that loss of ferning pattern is suggestive of ovulation. Due to the presence of sodium chloride in the mucus under estrogen effect. This fern pattern is also known as Arborisation.

Neurotransmitter depleted in Parkinson's disease:September 2007
|
Ans. A: DopamineParkinson's disease has both hypokinetic and hyperkinetic features. In this condition, which was originally described by James Parkinson and is named for him, the nigrostriatal dopaminergic neurons degenerate. The fibers to the putamen are most severely affected.Dopaminergic neurons and dopamine receptors are steadily lost with age in the basal ganglia in normal individuals, and an acceleration of these losses apparently precipitates parkinsonism. Symptoms appear when 60-80% of the nigrostriatal dopaminergic neurons are lost. Parkinsonism is also seen as a complication of treatment with the phenothiazine group of tranquilizer drugs and other drugs that block D2 dopamine receptors.

A rickshaw tyre passed on a 8 year old child. Tyre marks were found on the body. This is an exmaple of:
|
Ans is 'b' i.e. Imprint abrasion Real confusion in this question is between imprint abrasion and patterned bruising. In both imprint abrasion and patterned brusing there is mark or pattern of the object causing injury.* Abrasion is caused by friction and/or pressure between the skin and some rough object or surface. For abrasions to occur some movement along with pressure is essential between the object or instrument or weapon and the skin. Inabrasions superficial layers of skin are crushed and damaged.* Bruises or contusions are caused by blunt trauma resulting in rupture of small blood vessels which lead to effusion of blood in subcutaneous or subepithelial tissues. However skin is intact in most cases until associated withabrasions.* In an accident in which victim is overrun by vehicle, there will be movement and friction between the tyre and skin along with pressure by the tyre leading to imprint or patterned abrasion. There can be intradermal bruises also whichare usually associated with patterned objects. So the tyre mark will be primarily an imprint or patterned abrasion (tyre has a pattern because of ridges and grooves) associated with bruises too.Also know-Abrasions are of following types - 1. Scratches - a linear injury produced by a sharp object, such as a pin, thorn, nail or tip of any sharp weapon.2. Graze - An injury which is produced when a broad surface of skin slides or scraps against a rough surface. These are the most common type. Commonly seen in road accidents.Violent lateral (tangential) rubbing against a rough surface can produce abrasion known as 'brush burn' or 'gravel rash'.'Friction burn' can occur due to tangential contact with a smooth surface.3. Patterned abrasions: In it pattern of the object causing injury is produced over the skin when the force is applied at right angle to the surface of the skin. Patterned abrasions are produced either by pressure of the object or by impactwith a rough object. The former is called pressure (crushing or friction) abrasion and the latter is known as impact (contact or imprint) abrasion. There can be associated bruising in the surrounding area. Examples are ligaturemark, nail and thumb mark, teeth bite marks, whip marks, radiator, grill or tyre marks in vehicular accidents and muzzle marks in gunshot injuries.

Malate shuttle is important in ________
|
NADH cannot penetrate the mitochondrial membrane, but it is produced continuously in the cytosol by 3-phosphoglyceraldehyde dehydrogenase, an enzyme in the glycolysis sequence.
The transfer of reducing equivalents is carried out by using the various shuttle systems.
Malate shuttle system is of more universal utility. Used to transport NADH from cytosol to mitochondria.
In glycolysis, the impermeable NADH produced in the cytosol are taken up into mitochondria for oxidation via malate shuttle.
In gluconeogenesis, pyruvate in the mitochondria yields impermeable oxaloacetate, which gets translocated to the cystol via malate shuttle for the sythesis of glucose.

Programmed cell death is known as-
|
Ans. is 'b' i.e., Apoptosis o Programmed cell death is apoptosis. o But remember this impoant fact that not all apoptosis are programmed cell death (read text below) Apoptosis o Apoptosis is pathway of cell death that is induced by a tightly regulated intracellular program in which cell destined to die activate enzymes that degrade the cell's own nuclear DNA, and nuclear & cytoplasmic proteins. o Apoptosis generally involves single cells in contrast to necrosis that usually involve a group of cells. o Apoptosis may be of two types ? A. Physiological (most of the time) Programmed cell death. B. Pathological Unprogrammed cell death. A.Physiological apoptosis o Death by apoptosis is a normal phenomenon that serves to eliminate cells that are no longer needed. o It is impoant in the following physiologic situation :? The programmed destruction of cells during embryogenesis, including implantation, organogenesis, and metamorphosis. Hormone dependent involution in adult, e.g., endometrial cell breakdown during menstural cycle, ovarian follicular atresia in the menopause, the regression of lactating breast after weaning, and prostatic atrophy after castration. Cell deletion in proliferating cell population in order to maintain a constant number, e.g., intestinal crypt epithelium. Death of host cells that have served their useful purpose, such as neutrophils after an acute inflammatory response, and lymphocytes at the end of an immune response. Elimination of potentially harmful self-reactive lymphocytes in thymus. Cell death induced by cytotoxic T cells to eliminate virus infected and neoplastic cells. Same mechanism occurs in graft versus host disease. B.Pathological apoptosis o Apoptosis may also be pathological. o When cells are damaged beyond repair, especially when the damage affects the cell's DNA, the irreparably damaged cells are eliminated : ? Cell death produced by injuries stimuli --> Radiation and cytotoxic anticancer drugs damage DNA, and if repair mechanisms cannot cope with the injury, the cell kills itself by apoptosis. In these situations, elimination of the cell may be a better alternative than risking mutations and translocations in the damaged DNA which may result in malignant transformation. Cell injury in ceain viral diseases, e.g., in viral hepatitis. Pathologic atrophy in parenchymal after duct obstruction, such as occurs in pancreas, parotid gland. Cell death in tumors.

All of the following are decreased in Nephrotic syndrome except :
|
Answer is D (Fibrinogen): Nephrotic syndrome is characteristically associated with increased fibrinogen levels Nephrotic syndrome is characteristically associated with increased fibrinogen levels - Hyper fibrinogenemia. This is due to increase hepatic synthesis, impaired fibrinolysis, and increased platelet aggregability. It is an impoant factor responsible for hypercoagulability seen in Nephrotic syndrome. Patient of nephrotic syndrome can develop spontaneous peripheral aerial or venous thrombosis. - Renal vein thrombosis Q - Pulmonary embolisms. Serum albumin is decreased due to proteinuriaQ Hypoalbumnimia is compounded by increased renal catabolism and inadequate albeit increased hepatic synthesis of albumin. Transferrin loss in urine leads to decreased levels of serum transferrin. This is responsible for iron resistant microcytic hypochromic anemia. Q Ceruloplasmin level, too are decrease on account of its loss in urine. Q

The main function of the Central Board is to promote cleanliness of streams and wells in the States. It also provides ceain functions in the nature of advice, planning, co-ordination, publications, education and programmes for preventing, controlling and abating water pollution. The State Boards are expected not only to plan comprehensive programmes for the prevention and control of water pollution in the State but also to inspect sewage or trade effluents, works and plants for their treatment, to lay down standards for such effluents, their treatment and for the quality of receiving waters, and to make orders for waste disposal.

Epitheloid granuloma consists mainly of which type of cells:
|
Ans. D: Macrophages Macrophages/ histiocytes are the cells that define a granuloma. They often, but not invariably, fuse to form multinucleated giant cells. The macrophages in granulomas are often referred to as "epithelioid". Epithelioid macrophages differ from ordinary macrophages in that they have elongated nuclei that often resemble the sole of a slipper or shoe. They also have larger nuclei than ordinary macrophages and their cytoplasm is typically more pink when stained with eosin. Granulomas are seen in a wide variety of diseases, both infectious and non-infectious. Infections that are characterized by granulomas tuberculosis leprosy histoplasmosis cryptococcosis coccidioidomycosis blastomycosis cat scratch disease. Examples of non-infectious granulomatous diseases are Sarcoidosis (Sarcoid granulomas often contain star-shaped structures termed asteroid bodies or lamellar structures termed Schaumann bodies) Crohn's disease berylliosis Wegener's granulomatosis Churg-Strauss syndrome Pulmonary rheumatoid nodules Aspiration of food and other paiculate material into the lung.

The earliest sign of iron deficiency anaemia-
|
The first stage in the development of iron deficiency anaemia is the depletion of storage iron. The iron reserves are lost without compromise of iron supply for erythropoesis.Therefore the earliest sign is decreased serum ferritin level indicating poor tissue iron stores.

A 63-year-old man undergoes a paial gastrectomy with Billroth II reconstruction for intractable peptic ulcer disease. He presents several months postoperatively with a megaloblastic anemia. Which of the following is the best treatment for this surgical complication?
|
Either megaloblastic anemia due to vitamin B12 deficiency (due to lack of intrinsic factor, which is necessary for B12 absorption and is normally produced by the parietal cells of the stomach) or microcytic anemia due to iron deficiency (due to decreased iron intake and impaired absorption in the duodenum) can result after paial gastrectomy. While folate deficiency can also cause megaloblastic anemia, it is rare after paial gastrectomy. Oral B12 is not a reliable method for correcting B12 deficiency; intravenous cyanocobalamin should be administered every 3 to 4 months for life. Other complications of paial gastrectomy includes osteoporosis secondary to impaired calcium absorption due to the Billroth II reconstruction (since calcium is normally absorbed in the proximal intestine--duodenum and jejunum). Also, fatty acids may also be malabsorbed due to inadequate mixing of bile salts and lipase with ingested fat, and therefore steatorrhea may result.

CONTRIBUTIONS OF FREUD o Father of psychoanalysis He founded a type of psychotherapy called psychoanalysis. It is nothing but analyzing the psych(MIND) o Interpretation of dreams According to Freud dreams are royal road to unconscious In dreams several conflicts that are present in the unconscious comes to the consciousness in the form of dreams Thus by analyzing ones dreams we could understand the unconscious conflicts o Psychosexual stages of life o Freud divided development into 5 stages namely psycho sexual development o It is divivded namely oral , anal , phallic, latent, genital phase. o Conversion disorders conversion disorder is conveing a psychological pain to physical symptoms present physical symptoms which has some connection with unconscious conflict is called SYMBOLIZATION present physical symptoms which has some resemblance with illness in family members, which is called MODELLING patient has illness like neurological deficit but they have apparent in concern towards their own illness which is known as LA BELLE INDIFFERENCE main defense mechanism in conversion disorder is REPRESSION o Repression defence mechanism * REPRESSION is called QUEEN of defense mechanisms o COUCH and FREE ASSOSIATION * He introduced a technique called as a couch technique where he makes the patient lie on the couch, he asks the patient to speak from 'cabbages to kings. This method is called FREE ASSOSIATION. By allowing the patient to speak whatever that comes to their mind randomly so that by analyzing their thoughts we could understand the conflict in the unconscious. o Topographical theory of mind Freud gave topographical theory mind It is divided into pre conscious, unconscious, conscious Later he disregarded topographical theory of mind and gave structural theory of mind o Structural theory of mind It is divided into id, ego, super ego Id= instinctual desires like anger, hunger, sexual instinct Ego= function of mind to work based on ego to avoid guilt from super ego Super ego= based on moral principle, obtained from family members and relatives, teachers Ref. kaplon and sadock, synopsis of psychiatry, 11 th edition pg no. 845

A 25-year-old man presents with a blue right arm with absent radial pulse and painful passive finger extension following a supracondylar fracture of humerus. He is suffering from:
|
Ans. C. Compartment syndromeFracture can lead to ischemia in the distal limb by direct injury to the blood vessel or by the effect of oedema increasing the pressure within the osteo fascial compartment which limits perfusion. In compartment syndrome, the increased pressure can lead to profound ischemia with necrosis of muscle and nerve tissue. This is a surgical emergency requiring prompt decompression by open fasciotomy. Once muscle tissue dies it is replaced by inelastic fibrous tissue giving rise to the complication of Volkmann's ischaemic contracture.
