Ans. is 'd' i.e., All of the above Coxa vera Coxa vera refers to reduced angle between the neck and shaft of the femur. Coxa vera may be congenital or acquired. 1. Congenital (developmental / Infantile) coxa vera This is coxa vara resulting from some unknown growth anomaly at the upper femoral epiphysis. It is noticed as a painless limp in a child who has just staed walking. In severe cases, shoening of the leg may be obvious. On examination, abduction and internal rotation of the hip are limited and the leg is sho. X - rays will show a reduction in neck - shaft angle. The epiphyseal plate may be too veical. There may be a separate triangle of bone in the inferior poion of the metaphysis, called Fairbank's triangle. Treatment is by a subtrochanteric corrective osteotomy. 2.

Ans. A: 3 mg/ml Tobramycin works by binding to a site on the bacterial 30S and 50S ribosome, preventing formation of the 70S complex. As a result, mRNA cannot be translated into protein and cell death ensues. Sterile Tobramycin Ophtha Solution (eye-drops) contains tobramycin concentration of 0.3%. It is mixed with 0.01% benzalkonium chloride as a preservative. This concentrations result in 3 mg per ml.

Ans. d (Calcium leucovorin) (Ref. Harrison 18th/ p 476, 607)# Methotrexate inhibits dihydrofolate reductase, which regenerates reduced folates from the oxidized folates produced when thymidine monophosphate is formed from deoxyuridine monophosphate.# Without reduced folates, cells die a "thymineless" death.# N-5 tetrahydrofolate or N-5 formyltetrahydrofolate (leucovorin) can bypass this block and rescue cells from methotrexate, which is maintained in cells by polyglutamylation.METHOTREXATE - Side Effects:# In addition to bone marrow suppression and mucosal irritation, methotrexate can cause renal failure itself at high doses owing to crystallization in renal tubules; therefore high-dose regimens REQUIRE ALKALINIZATION OF URINE with increased flow by hydration.6# Less frequent adverse effects include reversible increases in transaminases and hypersensitivity-like pulmonary syndrome.# Chronic low-dose methotrexate can cause hepatic fibrosis.# When administered to the intrathecal space, methotrexate can cause chemical arachnoiditis and CNS dysfunction.# Trimetrexate is a methotrexate derivative that is not polyglutamylated and does not use the reduced folate carrier.# The effects of folate antagonists that inhibit dihydrofolate reductase can be counteracted by folinic acid (5-formyl tetrahydrofolate ) in a dose of 100 to 200 mg/d, which circumvents the block in folate metabolism by providing a form of folate that can be converted to 5,10-methylene THF.Methotrexate(Antimetabolite)# A folic acid analog that inhibits dihydrofolate reductase; decreased dTMP levels hinder DNA and thus protein synthesis# S-phase specificNeoplastic indications: leukemia, lymphomas, breast cancer, choriocarcinomaNonneoplastic indications; rheumatoid arthritis, psoriasis, termination of pregnancy (e.g., ectopic) Toxicities: suppresses bone marrow reversibly; folinic acid (leucovorin) is used to "rescue"; fatty change in liver

Types of Errors of Refraction
2a51c715-b895-4042-81e0-f0e67598fbb3
Ans. is 'b' i.e., Non perpendicular principal meridians ASTIGMATISMo Astigmatism is a type of refractive error wherein the refraction varies in the different meridia. Consequently, the rays of light entering in the eye cannot converge to a point focus but form focal lines. The refractive error of the astigmatic eye stems from a difference in degree of curvature refraction of the two different meridians (i.e.,, the eye has different focal point in different planes). For example, the image may be clearly focused on retina in the horizontal plane, but not in the vertical plane.o The most common cause of astigmatism is abnormality of corneal curvature. Other less common causes are lenticular (curvature abnormality of lens,oblique position of lens) and retinal (oblique placement of macula). Types of astigmatismBased on axis of the principal meridiansRegular stigmatism : Principal meridians are perpendicularo With-the-rule astigmatism-the vertical meridian is steepest.o Against-the-rule astigmatism-the horizontal meridian is steepest.o Oblique astigmatism-the steepest curve lies in between 120 and 150 degrees and 30 and 60 degrees.Irregular astigmatism - principal meridians are not perpendicular.Based on focus of the principal meridiansSimple astigmatismo Simple hyperopic astigmatism - first focal line is on retina while the second is located behind the retinao Simple myopic astigmatism - first focal line is in front of the retina while the second is on the retina.Compound astigmatismo Compound hyperopic astigmatism-both focal lines are located behind the retina,o Compound myopic astigmatism-both focal lines are located in front of the retina.Mixed astigmatism-focal lines are on both sides of the retina (straddling the retina).Treatment of Astigmatismo Treatment of astigmatism consists : -Optical treatment: - It consists of cylindrical power spectacles or contact lens. Types of contact lenses used are permeable contact tens, Soft toric contact lens (for high degree astigmatism), hybrid lens, i.e,, soft on hard lens, hard contact lens.Surgical treatment: - Non-laser (astigmatic keratotomy) or laser (PRK, LASIK).

Answer is C (Left atrial myxoma) An increased gradient during diastole is suggestive of an obstructive lesion between Left atrium and Left ventricle that is not allowing pressures to normalize between the atria and ventricle such as atrial myxoma. Pulmonary aery wedge pressure represents Left atrial pressure. Left ventricular end diastolic pressure represents Left ventricular pressure. Gradient between Left atrial pressure (PCWP) and Left ventricular pressure during diastole: Normally there is no gradient during diastole as both pressures are equal. An increased gradient during diastole is suggestive of an obstructive lesion between Left atrium and Left ventricle that is not allowing pressures to normalize between the atria and ventricle. This may thus be seen in obstructive lesions between Left atria and ventricle such as : Mitral stcnosis Atrial myxomas

Urethral stricture CAUSES The common causes of urethral stricture are: * Inflammatory * Secondary to urethritis * Secondary to balanitis xerotica obliterans (BXO) * Traumatic (MC) * Bulbar urethral injury * Pelvic fracture urethral disruption injury * Iatrogenic * Secondary to urethral instrumentation including cath- eterisation and transurethral prostatectomy * Secondary to radical prostatectomy * Secondary to radiotherapy for prostate cancer * Idiopathic CLINICAL FEATURES Symptoms are usually hesitancy of micturition, straining to void and a poor urinary stream. The relative youthfulness of the patient often rules out prostatic enlargement, which characteristically occurs after the age of 50. As the stream becomes narrower, micturition is prolonged and is followed by postmicturition dribbling as a result of urine trickling from the dilated urethra proximal to the stricture. Urinary frequency by day and night is common and is due to incomplete bladder emptying, coexisting detrusor overactivity or urinary infection. If the stricture is tight enough, the patient will go into acute retention, although this is rare. If this happens, there is a danger that clumsy attempts to pass a urethral catheter will result in a false passage. If a patient has gone into retention because of a urethral stricture, its lumen will be too narrow to pass even a tiny catheter and suprapubic catheterisation is required. Investigation involves uroflowmetry, urethroscopy, urethrography and ultrasound scanning to assess bladder emptying and to detect any upper tract dilatation. The urinary flow rate is typically prolonged and plateau shaped while urethroscopy allows the stricture to be viewedas a circumferential scar. Openings of false passages commemorate previous misguided attempts to pass a urethral catheter. Urethrography using a water-soluble contrast medium will show the extent and severity of the stricture Ref: Bailey and love 27th edition Pgno : 1482

Chromatography paper contains about 15-20% water, held to the paper fibers. This water acts as the stationary phase in paper chromatography. Amino acids are separated according to their solubility in the water and in an organic solvent (the mobile phase) moving up the paper. The most non-polar amino acids migrate the farthest, due to their greater solubility in the organic solvent. Paper also acts as an adsorbent, having an affinity for polar groups. Among the given options, Glycine and Valine are non-polar amino acids (hydrophobic). Aspartic acid and Lysine are polar amino acids. Valine is more non-polar than glycine.

Adenocarcinomas are the most common primary lung cancer to develop within an area of peripheral scar. Scar tissue formation may be secondary to previous granulomatous disease (tuberculosis), infarction, or interstitial diseases of the lung associated with fibrosis (e.g., progressive systemic sclerosis). The pathogenesis of scar carcinoma is not completely understood. One theory is that scar tissue blocks lymphatic drainage, causing an increased concentration of anthracotic pigment-containing carcinogens. Persistent hyperplasia of tissue and the potential for a mutation leading to cancer are other mechanisms that may be similar to those of cancers that develop in fistulous tracts draining pus (e.g., chronic osteomyelitis).

It occurs in cytosol 3 Carbon atoms end product (pyruvate or lactate) is produced. Irreversible steps are catalyzed by : - Glucokinase/Hexokinase, phosphofructohnase-I, and pyruvate kinase. Reversible steps are catalyzed by : - Phosphohexose isomerase, aldolase, phosphotriose isomerase, glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate dehydrogenase, Phosphoglycerate kinase, Phosphoglycerate mutase, Enolase. Energy (ATP) using steps are catalyzee by : - Hexokinase/glucokinase, phosphofurctokinase. Energy (ATP) production at substrate level are catalyzed by : Phosphoglycerate kinase, Pyruvate kinase. Reducing equivalent (NADH) production is catalyzed by : Glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate dehydrogenase. Cancer cells derive nutrition from glycolysis as they have lack of 02 supply because of lack of capillary network. Glycolysis (anaerobic glycolysis) is the only metabolic pathway in the body which can provide energy by glucose metabolism in anerobic conditions.

The uterine vessels are found in the inferior poion of the broad ligament, while the ovarian vessels are found in the suspensory ligaments of the ovaries. The suspensory ligaments of the ovaries are peritoneal folds covering ovarian aeries , veins, nerves, and lymphatics as the structures pass over the pelvic brim to reach the ovary. The ovarian ligament proper is a round cord which attaches the ovary to the uterus, just below the entrance of the uterine tube into the uterus. The round ligament of the uterus is a connective tissue band that attaches the uterus to the inner aspect of the labium majus,it traverses the inguinal canal and it is found in the broad ligament.

Pain in the upper extremity may be of musculoskeletal or neurologic origin. Compression of the nerves supplying the upper extremity can occur at various levels from the spinal cord all the way down to the fingers. Cervical spine x-ray is helpful for detecting bony abnormalities, which may cause nerve compression. Pancoast's tumor, which can be demonstrated on chest x-ray, may be responsible for pain. Neural conduction studies of the median nerve may disclose the presence of carpal tunnel syndrome as the cause of pain. Finkelstein's test produces pain in patients with de Quervain's disease. The test is performed by asking the patient to grab his own thumb with the other fingers of the same hand and then move the wrist in the ulnar direction. If pain is elicited, then the test is positive. Adson's test is very helpful in detecting the presence or absence of collateral circulation between the radial and ulnar aeries and is not diagnostic for pain.

The first step in evaluating patient with asymptomatic jaundice is to determine whether the increased bilirubin, as evidenced by scleral icterus, is conjugated or unconjugated hyperbilirubinemia. Patients with unconjugated hyperbilirubinemia do not have bilirubin in their urine because unconjugated bilirubin (bound to albumin) is not excreted in the urine; these patients usually have either hemolysis or an enzyme deficiency in the path way for excretion of bilirubin. Conjugated hyperbilirubinemia suggests liver dysfunction and requires fuher assessment

Hypopituitarism in the adult is usually due to an infarction of the pituitary called Simmonds’ disease.   It is characterized by loss of weight and diminished sexual function. The basal metabolic rate is markedly lowered, and since Simmonds’ disease represents a panhypopituitarism, there is a decrease in the activity of the many hormones of the pituitary gland and of those glands that are under pituitary regulation. In this disease, the skin shows atrophic alterations. Changes in the head include thin eyebrows, loss of eyelashes, sharp features, thin lips, and an immobile expression. There will be a decreased salivary flow due to hyperfunctioning of salivary glands which leads to increased caries activity and periodontal disease.

The development of the serum ascites-to-albumin gradient (SAAG) has replaced the description of exudative or transudative fluid. When the gradient between the serum albumin level and the ascitic fluid albumin level is >1.1 g/dL, the cause of the ascites is most likely due to poal hypeension; this is usually in the setting of cirrhosis. When the gradient is <1.1 g/dL, infectious or malignant causes of ascites should be consideredIn Budd Chiari syndrome SAAG is >1.1 i.e poal hypeensionReference: Harrison&;s Principles of Internal medicine; 19th edition; Chapter 35; Cirrhosis and its complications
