Multifactorial inheritance is most likely to play a role in
Cleft lip and cleft palate, also known as orofacial cleft, is a group of conditions that includes cleft lip (CL), cleft palate (CP), and both together (CLP).] A cleft lip contains an opening in the upper lip that may extend into the nose. The opening may be on one side, both sides, or in the middle. A cleft palate is when the roof of the mouth contains an opening into the nose. These disorders can result in feeding problems, speech problems, hearing problems, and frequent ear infections. Less than half the time the condition is associated with other disordersMultifacorial inheritance is the type of inheritance followed by traits that are determined by multiple factors both environmental and genetic. Environmental factors interact with many genes to generate a normally distributed susceptibiity.Some diseases for example myocardial infarction, congenital bih defects, cancer, diabetes, mental illnesses and Alzheimer diseases cause along with morbidity, premature moality in two out of three individuals during their lifetime. Many show clustering among families. However their inheritance pattern does not follow that of single gene disorders (Mendelian pattern of inheritance). These kind of diseases are thought to result from complex interactions between genetic and environmental factors, i.e. multifactorial inheritance pattern.

Peptidoglycans are found in large quantities in cell wall of: March 2009
Ans. B: Gram positive bacteria The Bacteria (eubacteria), with the exception of the Chlamydias have a semirigid cell wall containing peptidoglycan. Gram negative bacteria's peptidoglycan layer is much thinner than in Gram-positive bacteria In general, the walls of gram positive bacteria have a simpler chemical nature than those of gram negative bacteria. The mycoplasmas are the only bacteria that naturally lack a cell wall. Mycoplasmas maintain a nearly even pressure between the outside environment and the cytoplasm by actively pumping out sodium ions. Their cytoplasmic membranes also contain sterols that most likely provide added strength. All other bacteria have a cell wall Peptidoglycan prevents osmotic lysis. Under the cytoplasmic membrane, bacteria concentrate dissolved nutrients (solute) through active transpo. As a result, the bacterium's cytoplasm is usually hypeonic to its surrounding environment and the net flow of free water is into the bacterium. Without a strong cell wall, the bacterium would burst from the osmotic pressure of the water flowing into the cell.

T. scan of the leukodystrophies shows low density areas in the white matter which are bilateral but not necessary symmetric and becomes more extensive as the disease process progresses.Krabbe's diseaseIt occurs due to deficiency of the enzyme P-galactocerebroside.It presents in infancy with retardation and spasticity.CT scan appearance of Krabbe's diseaseB/L symmetrical hypodensities in both frontoparietal and occipital regions in the white matter zone.Both thalamus and basai ganglia are hyperdenseCerebellum unaffected, ventricles normal, septum midlineMetachromatic leukodystrophyIt is a common leukodystrophy which commences in infancy.It occurs due to deficiency of the enzyme Arylsulphatase A.C. T. shows diffuse symmetric attenuation of the cerebellar and cerebral white matter.Alexander's diseaseIt is one of the few leukodystrophies that occurs sporadically and is characterized histopathologically by the abundant presence of Rosenthal fibres in the affected brain.Definitive diagnosis thus depends on brain biopsy.It occurs due to mutation in glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP).C. T. scan demonstrates degeneration of the white matter most prominent in the frontal lobes.Canavan's diseaseIt occurs due to deficiency of the enzyme aspart acylase leading to accumulation of N-Acetyl aspartic acid in the brain.C.

What changes in GFR is expected in a 30-year-old lady with pre-eclampsia?
Pre-eclampsia is a state of hypeension in pregnancy associated with proteinuria but with or without pathological edema. It is defined as a multi-system disorder of unknown etiology characterised by development of hypeension to the extent of 140/90 mm Hg or more with protienuria after the 20th week of pregnancy in a previously normotensive and a normoproteinuric patient. The typical pathological features are endothelial dysfunction and intense vasospasm. In pre-eclampsia, the glomerular filtration rate decreases. The decrease in glomerular filtration rate is as a result of the following physiological changes: Afferent glomerular aeriolar vasospasm Occlusion of the lumen of the glomerulus resulting from glomerular endotheliosis and fibrin deposits in the basement membrane Decreased renal blood flow Ref: Textbook of Obstetrics By D.C.

A 37-year-old woman was admitted to the emergency department with high fever (39.5deg C), nausea, and vomiting. Physical examination revealed increased abdominal pain in the paraumbilical region, rebound tenderness over McBurney's point, and a positive psoas test. Blood tests showed marked leukocytosis. Which of the following is the most likely diagnosis?
Appendicitis is often characterized by acute inflammation and is indicated with both a positive psoas test and rebound pain over McBurney's point. McBurney's point lies 1 inch lateral to the midpoint of an imaginary line in the right lower quadrant, joining the anterior superior iliac spine and the umbilicus. In patients with appendicitis, rebound tenderness may be felt over McBurney's point after quick, deep compression of the left lower quadrant. An ectopic pregnancy would be associated with generalized abdominal pain instead of the localized pain felt over McBurney's point. Cholecystitis results from an inflammation of the gallbladder and would result in pain over the epigastric region shifting to the right hypochondriac region. Kidney stones result in referred pain to the lumbar or possibly inguinal regions. Perforation of the duodenum could result in pain to palpation of the abdomen, together with adynamic (paralytic) ileus, rigidity of the abdominal wall, and referral of pain to the shoulder.

Ans. B: Propranolol Beta-blockers such as propranolol help control many of the symptoms of hypehyroidism. These drugs can slow a fast hea rate, reduce tremors, and control anxiety. Beta-blockers are paicularly useful for people with extreme hypehyroidism and for people with bothersome or dangerous symptoms that have not responded to other treatments. However, beta-blockers do not reduce excess thyroid hormone production. Therefore, other treatments are added to bring hormone production to normal levels.

Arsenic is present in blood only during acute poisoning. In chronic poisoning arsenic gets deposited in the bone, keratin tissues, hair, nail and skin for many years. In the bone arsenic replaces phosphorous and remains for many years. Arsenic appear in the hair and nails within hours of ingestion. Neutron activation analysis and atomic absorption spectroscopy helps to estimate concentration of arsenic in hair, nails, bone etc. Ref:The Essentials of Forensic Medicine and Toxicology By Dr KS Narayan Reddy, Page 475

This rash appeared 9 hours after a scuba dive. What is the diagnosis?
Answer A. Decompression sicknessCutis marmorata is a dermal manifestation of decompression sickness. Initially, there is erythema accompanied by pruritus, and then the rash spreads irregularly and deepens in color. It develops a mottled appearance, with areas of pallor surrounded by cyanotic patches. During recompression, the rash resolves.

A 28 year old female patient with patches of burns and swelling of arm. Histopathological findings reveal swelling of endopasmic reticulum, blebs from cell membrane, loss of microvilli, presence of myeloid bodies and no changes in nucleus. Which type of injury is seen in this patient?
Reversible cell injury:- → Hypoxia is the most common cause of cell injury. → Oxygen is an important requirement of mitochondria, for the formation of ATP, therefore hypoxia will result in earliest involvement of mitochondria, resulting in decreased formation of ATP. → Important organelles affected are Cell membranes (require ATP for functioning of Na+ - K+ pump) Endoplasmic reticulum (require ATP for protein synthesis) Nucleus. → Swelling of organelles like endoplasmic reticulum, results in decreased protein synthesis. → Bleb results due to outpouching from the cell membrane to accommodate more water. → Loss of microvilli. → Formation of cellular organelle like endoplasmic reticulum. These are composed of phospholipids. →Myelin figures are intracellular whorls of laminated lipid material. ​​When these myelin figures are present in membrane-bound structure, containing lysosome enzymes, these are known as myeloid bodies.

Ans. is 'c' i.e., Dengue fever o Break bone fever (Saddle back fever) is caused by dengue virus.Dengue fevero Dengue fever is caused by arboviruses (at least 4 serotypes have been recognized)o It is transmitted by Aedes (Aedes aegypti is the main vector).o The reservoir of infection is both man and mosquito,o The transmission cycle is Man-mosquito-mano Dengue fever occurs both epidemically and endemically. Epidemics starts in rainy season and are usually explosive.o Aedes mosquito becomes infective by feeding on a patient from the day before onset to the 5th day of illness.o Various manifestations of Dengue infectionClassical dengue fever - Also known as break bone feverIncubation period 2-7 days (3-10 days - Park)Onset is sudden with chills and fever. Fever is usually between 39degc and 40degc temperature returns to normal after 5-6 days or subside on about the 3rd day and rise again after 5-8 days after onset (saddle back fever).Rashes appear in 80% of cases during remission or during second febrile phase. The rash lasts for 2 hours to several days and may be followed by desquamation. Dengue Hemorrhagic fever (DHF) -It is a severe form of dengue fever caused by infection with more than one dengue virus.The severe illness is thought to be due to double infection with more than one dengue virus.Dengue hemorrhagic fever is believed to result from reinfection with a virus of different serotype ( due to enhancing antibodies)DHF usally occurs after sequential infection with any two of the four serotypes of dengue virus.Sequence of infection may be important; serotype 1 followed by serotype2 is more dangerous than serotype 4 followed by serotype 2.Criteria for clinical diagnosis of DHFClinical diagnosisFever -Acute onset, high continuous lasting 2-7 days.Hemorrhagic manifestationsPositive tourniquet testPetechiae. purpura, ecchymosisEpistaxis, gum bleedingHematemesis and/or melaenaEnlargement of liverLaboratory diagnosisThrombocytopenia (100, OOO/mnV or less)Haemoconcentration haematocrit -->> increased by 20 percent or more of base-line value.C) Dengue shock syndromeThe clinical diagnosis is based on:All the above criteria plusShock manifested by rapid and weak pulse with narrowing of the pulse pressure to 20mm Hg or less or hypotension with the presence of cold clammy skin and restlessness.

According to signal transductions mechanism, GABA B is which type of receptor?
Five basic mechanisms of transmembrane signaling are well understood. Each uses a different strategy to circumvent the barrier posed by the lipid bilayer of the plasma membrane. These strategies use: a lipid-soluble ligand that crosses the membrane and acts on an intracellular receptor. a transmembrane receptor protein whose intracellular enzymatic activity is allosterically regulated by a ligand that binds to a site on the protein's extracellular domain. a transmembrane receptor that binds and stimulates a protein tyrosine kinase. a ligand gated transmembrane ion channel that can be induced to open or close by the binding of a ligand. a transmembrane receptor protein that stimulates a GTP-binding signal transducer protein (G protein), which in turn modulates production of an intracellular second messenger. Known transmembrane signaling mechanisms:1: A lipid-soluble chemical signal crosses the plasma membrane and acts on an intracellular receptor (which may be an enzyme or a regulator of gene transcription); 2: the signal binds to the extracellular domain of a transmembrane protein, thereby activating an enzymatic activity of its cytoplasmic domain; 3: the signal binds to the extracellular domain of a transmembrane receptor bound to a separate protein tyrosine kinase, which it activates; 4: the signal binds to and directly regulates the opening of an ion channel; 5: the signal binds to a cell-s urface receptor linked to an effector enzyme by a G protein. (A, C, substrates; B, D, products; R, receptor; G, G protein; E, effector ; Y, tyrosine; P, phosphate.) Receptor Ligand Ligand gated receptor Insulin, EGF, PDGF, ANP Nuclear receptor Fenofibrate.

A 26 year old female patient complains of discoloured teeth. Intra-oral examination reveals generalized intrinsic tetracycline stains. Which of the following is an effective and esthetic treatment in this case?
Bleaching tetracycline-stained teeth is difficult, some clinicians advocate intentional endodontic therapy along with the use of an intracoronal nonvital bleaching technique to overcome this problem. Although the esthetic result appears much better than that obtained from external bleaching, this approach involves all the inherent risks otherwise associated with endodontic treatment. External bleaching techniques offer a safer alternative, although they may not be as rapid or effective.  Patients who have darkly stained teeth always should be informed that although porcelain (or composite) veneers can result in improved esthetics, they may not entirely eliminate or mask extremely dark stains. Because of the limited thickness of the veneers and the absolute necessity of incorporating intrinsic opacity, the realistic translucency or esthetic vitality of veneered teeth may never be comparable with that of natural, unaffected teeth. Full porcelain coverage with all-ceramic crowns may be indicated in some patients with severe discoloration because of the crown’s greater capacity to restore esthetic vitality.

There is deformity just below the left knee and no distal pulses palpable in that leg. Plain films show proximal tibia and fibula fractures. What is the next step in management?
In a stable patient presenting with peripheral vessel occlusion following blunt trauma, angiography is indicated to plan the appropriate operative approach. An angiogram can also document preexisting arteriosclerosis, collateral circulation, and distal runoff. Doppler ultrasound is useful to localize the injury site but gives less information regarding collateral circulation. Immediate operation to control bleeding and restore flow is indicated if the patient's condition is unstable.

32 yr old with diarrhea, flushing. On CT multiple lesions seen in liver. Primary disease is in -
Intestinal amoebiasis - amoebic dysentery Most amoebic infections are asymptomatic. The incubation period of amoebiasis ranges from 2 weeks to many years, followed by a chronic course with abdominal pains and two or more unformed stools a day. Offensive diarrhoea, alternating with constipation, and blood or mucus in the stool are common. There may be abdominal pain, especially in the right lower quadrant (which may mimic acute appendicitis). A dysenteric presentation with passage of blood, simulating bacillary dysentery or ulcerative colitis, occurs paicularly in older people, in the puerperium and with super-added pyogenic infection of the ulcers. Amoebic liver abscess The abscess is usually found in the right hepatic lobe. There may not be associated diarrhoea. Early symptoms may be only local discomfo and malaise; later, a swinging temperature and sweating may develop, usually without marked systemic symptoms or signs. An enlarged, tender liver, cough and pain in the right shoulder are characteristic but symptoms may remain vague and signs minimal. A large abscess may penetrate the diaphragm, rupturing into the lung, and may be coughed up through a hepatobronchial fistula. Rupture into the pleural or peritoneal cavity, or rupture of a left lobe abscess in the pericardial sac, is less common but more serious. Ref Davidson edition23rd pg 287

Prevent pregnancy for a minimum of 6 months using hormonal contraception.2. Monitor serum hCG levels every 2 weeks. Serial measurement of serum hCG is important to detect trophoblastic neoplasia, and even small amounts of trophoblastic tissue can be detected by the assay. These levels should progressively fall to an undetectable level.3. Chemotherapy is not indicated as long as these serum levels continue to regress.4. Once the hCG level falls to a normal level, test the patient monthly for 6 months; then follow-up is discontinued and pregnancy allowed.

Tramadol is
Ans. d (Opioid analgesic). (Ref. KD Tripathi, Pharmacology/6th. 453)# Tramadol is synthetic centrally acting opioid analgesic having modest affinity for ji receptors.# Unlike other opioids, it inhibits reuptake of NA and 5-HT and thus activates monoaminergic spinal inhibition of pain.# Its oral bioavailability is good and it has minimal hemodynamic effects and hence safer in patients with compromised CVS function.# It is indicated for medium intensity short lasting pain due to diagnostic procedures, injury, surgery, etc as well as for chronic cancer pain.

Method of application of neutral sodium fluoride according to Knutson's technique involves all except-
Method of application of neutral sodium fluoride according to Knutson's technique- If the sodium fluoride reagent is pure and uncontaminated, this solution has a pH of 7. Treatments are given in a series of four appointments.  At the initial appointment, the teeth are first cleaned with aqueous pumice slurry and then isolated with cotton rolls and dried with compressed  air. Teeth can either be isolated by quadrant or by half mouth.  Using cotton-tipped applicator sticks, the 2% sodium fluoride solution is painted on the air-dried teeth so that all surfaces are visibly wet. Then  with the teeth still isolated, the solution is allowed to dry for 3 to 4 minutes.  This procedure is repeated for each of the isolated segments until all of the teeth are treated.  A  second, third  and  fourth fluoride application, each  not preceded  by a prophylaxis, is scheduled at intervals of approximately one week.  The four-visit procedure is recommended for ages 3, 7, 11 and 13 years, coinciding with the eruption of different groups of primary and permanent teeth. Thus, most of the teeth would be treated soon after their eruption, maximizing the protection afforded by topical application.

Disadvantage of radioactive iodine include the following except:
Radioactive iodine emits beta particles that destroy some thyroid tissue and impair the ability of the remaining follicles to replicate; hence once the patient becomes euthyroid, chances of relapse are negligible. Though the amount of radioactive iodine to be administered is estimated by the size of the gland and its iodine uptake, about 40-60% of the patients may develop hypothyroidism. The beneficial effects take 3-4 weeks to become apparent. Neoplasms of the thyroid have been reported in children following treatment with it.

A 32-year-old female patient asks you what is the soft, thin ridge of tissue that she can feel running forward across the masseter muscle toward her upper lip. You reassure her that is perfectly normal. Which of the following is the most likely structure she is feeling?
The parotid duct, also known as the Stensen's duct, crosses the masseter muscle transversely and extends to the oral cavity. The facial artery can be palpated in the groove anterior to the mandibular angle. The facial vein lies anterior to the artery, passing toward the angle of the lips, but does not ascend in close proximity to the masseter. All of the other vessels are located more deeply and cannot be palpated.

Sickle cell disease is due to
(Point mutation) (628-R) (227-426-Basicpathology> 8th)Sickle cell disease is an important hereditary hemoglobinopathy, a type of disease characterized by production of defective hemoglobins.Sickle cell disease is caused by a point mutation at the sixth position of the b-globin chain leading to the substitution of a valine residue for a glutamic acid residue.Sickle syndromes occurs in 3 different forms (394-HM 5th)1. As heterozygous state for HbS: Sickle cell trait (AS)2. As homozygous state for HbS: Sickle cell anaemia (SS)3. As double heterozygous states eg. Sickle p-thalassaemia Sickle-C-disease, sickle-D disease (SD)Frame-shift mutation - occurs when there is insertion or deletion of one or two base pairs in the DNA sequence eg. Cystic fibrosis

Complication of vernal keratoconjunctivitis is
Keratoconus (conical cornea) is a noninflammatory bilateral (85%) ecstatic condition of the cornea in its axial pa. It usually stas at pubey and progresses slowly. Keratoconus may be associated with :Ocular conditions e.g. ectopia lentis, congenital cataract, aniridia, retinitis pigmentosa, and vernal keratoconjunctivitis (VKC). Systemic conditions e.g., Marfan's syndrome, atopy, Down's syndrome, Ehlers-Danlossyndrome, osteogenesis imperfecta, and mitral valve prolapse. Treatment. Falling vision may not be corrected by glasses due to irregular astigmatism. Contact lenses (rigid gas permeable) usually improve the vision in early cases. In later stages penetrating keratoplasty may be required. Intacs, the intracorneal ring segments, are repoed to be useful in early cases. Keratoconus can occur in patients with vernal keratoconjunctivitis due to repeated rubbing of the eye. early complications: This constant damage to the cornea may cause severe complications, including shield ulcers and vernal plaques, keratoconus, corneal scarring, microbial keratitis, and limbal epithelial stem cell deficiency. As some of these complications occur during the first decade of life, they may result in amblyopia. Ref khurana 16th edition pg 256 Ref: Khurana; 4th ed; Pg 119
