2. What are the key differences between Pelger-Huët anomaly and Pseudo-Pelger-Huët anomaly?

Explanation

Pelger-Huët anomaly is a benign dominantly inherited defect of terminal neutrophil differentiation secondary to mutations in the lamin B receptor (LBR) gene, characterized by specific nuclear morphology. On the other hand, Pseudo-Pelger-Huët anomaly is a condition that can be seen in various hematologic disorders and does not have a genetic basis like Pelger-Huët anomaly.

Submit
3. What mechanism is involved in Jansen's metaphyseal dysplasia, which can produce manifestations like acquired Hyperparathyroidism?

Explanation

Knowing that the manifestations are similar to Hyperparathyroidism helps in deducing that Gain of function in the PTH receptor is the most likely mechanism involved. Haploinsufficiency and Dominant negative effect would lead to opposite effects, while loss of function due to receptor defect would not result in Hyperparathyroidism-like findings.

Submit
4. What is the mechanism of action of ARTesunate and ARTemether?
Submit
5. What is the diagnostic function of fecal elastase (EL1) in children with Cystic Fibrosis?

Explanation

Fecal elastase (EL1) is a reliable diagnostic test for pancreatic function in children with Cystic Fibrosis, as it is specific, sensitive, and easily reproducible without interrupting exogenous pancreatic enzyme therapy.

Submit
6. What is the term for the genetic disorder characterized by the absence of fibrinogen in the blood?

Explanation

Afibrinogenemia is a rare genetic disorder where there is a complete absence of fibrinogen in the blood, leading to bleeding problems. Hemophilia A is a genetic disorder where there is a deficiency in clotting factor VIII. Von Willebrand Disease is a bleeding disorder caused by a deficiency or dysfunction of von Willebrand factor. Thrombocytopenia is a condition characterized by a low platelet count, which can result in excessive bleeding.

Submit
7. What is Gallamine triethiodide commonly used for?

Explanation

Gallamine triethiodide is not used for treating bacterial infections, lowering cholesterol levels, relieving pain in arthritis, or improving lung function in asthma patients. It is specifically used as a muscle relaxant during surgical procedures.

Submit
8. What is malacoplakia?

Explanation

Malacoplakia is a rare inflammatory condition that primarily affects the genitourinary tract, characterized by foamy histiocytes with basophilic inclusions called Michaelis-Gutmann bodies. It is not a type of skin cancer, viral infection, or autoimmune disease.

Submit
9. What brain regions are involved in the perception of another person's feelings?

Explanation

The incorrect answers do not correctly identify the brain regions involved in the perception of another person's feelings, which are the anterior insula and anterior cingulate cortex.

Submit
10. What is an integron?

Explanation

An integron is a genetic element that can capture and integrate mobile gene cassettes, which often carry antibiotic resistance genes, into bacterial chromosomes.

Submit
11. What is the relationship between Stomelysin and Glycosylation-dependent cell adhesion molecule-1 (GLYCAM1)?
Submit
12. What is central core disease?

Explanation

Central core disease is a specific type of muscle disorder and not related to brain, skin, or psychological conditions.

Submit
13. What is Nemaline myopathy?

Explanation

Nemaline myopathy is a neuromuscular disorder affecting muscle function, not related to skin disorders, cancer, or neurological conditions primarily affecting the senses.

Submit
14. Cutaneous Larva migrans - due to ancylostoma, u will see signs of dermatitis + eosinophilia. Visceral larva migrans - due to Toxocara canis, presents as different organs dysfunctions. What is the correct description of Larva currens?

Explanation

Larva currens is a condition caused by the Strongyloides parasite, not Ancylostoma or Toxocara canis. It is characterized by the penetration of larval worms into the subcutaneous tissue, leading to itching and pain.

Submit
15. What are the founder effects and mutation-selection equilibrium in population genetics?

Explanation

The founder effect leads to a loss of genetic variation in new populations, while mutation-selection equilibrium represents a balance between creation and elimination of deleterious alleles in a population.

Submit
16. What is the difference between Internal Validity and External Validity?

Explanation

Internal Validity focuses on the relationship between the independent variable and the outcomes, while External Validity deals with the generalizability of the study results to other settings or populations.

Submit
17. Check 2013 NBME sample tests first few pages syllabus. Do it.

Explanation

The question is vague and does not provide enough information to determine a correct answer. It is important to ask for clarification or further details in such situations.

Submit
18. Define brain death.

Explanation

Brain death specifically refers to irreversible brain damage leading to the inability to breathe on one's own, not just the stopping of the heart or a coma. It is not a temporary condition caused by external substances.

Submit
19. What is the medical term for the condition characterized by an uncontrollable urge to move one's legs, often accompanied by uncomfortable sensations?

Explanation

Restless Legs Syndrome (RLS) is a neurological disorder that causes unpleasant sensations in the legs and an uncontrollable urge to move them. It is a distinct condition from other medical issues such as Sleep Apnea, Fibromyalgia, and Sciatica.

Submit
20. What are decubitus ulcers?

Explanation

Decubitus ulcers are not related to broken bones, concussions, or food poisoning. They are specific to localized skin and tissue damage caused by pressure.

Submit
21. What are the physiological responses to LOW atmospheric pressure?

Explanation

Physiological responses to low atmospheric pressure are similar to ascending to higher altitudes where the oxygen concentration is lower. The body responds by increasing heart rate and breathing rate to compensate for the lower oxygen levels.

Submit
22. What is the capital of France?

Explanation

Paris is the capital city of France, not London, Berlin, or Rome.

Submit
23. What is a tested chemottractant for neutrophils?

Explanation

5-HETE is an eicosanoid and a hormone-like autocrine and paracrine signaling agent that serves as a chemottractant for neutrophils.

Submit
24. What are the common mutations associated with Burkitt lymphoma?

Explanation

Burkitt lymphoma is commonly associated with Kappa light chain translocation, 2:8 and Lambda light chain 8:22 mutations. While TP53 mutations are seen in other types of cancers, HER2 and BRAF V600E mutations are not typically associated with Burkitt lymphoma.

Submit
25. What are LINE insertions?

Explanation

The correct answer explains that LINEs are a specific type of retrotransposons that are transcribed into mRNA and translated into proteins with reverse transcriptase activity, allowing for integration into the genome at new sites.

Submit
26. What is sublimation?

Explanation

Sublimation, in the context of psychology, refers to the transformation of unacceptable impulses or desires into socially acceptable behavior. It is not related to physical states of matter, mathematical calculations, or cooking techniques.

Submit
27. What is the blood supply of the renal glands?

Explanation

The renal glands, also known as the adrenal glands, require a rich blood supply for optimal function. The arteries supplying blood to the adrenal glands include the superior, middle, and inferior suprarenal arteries.

Submit
28. What is the correct term for a heart muscle cell?

Explanation

A cardiac myocyte specifically refers to a muscle cell found in the heart, responsible for the contraction of the heart muscle. Neuron is a nerve cell, Adipocyte is a fat cell, and Osteoblast is a bone-forming cell, which are not related to the heart muscle.

Submit
29. What is 111?

Explanation

The correct answer is 1 because it matches the given question. The other options do not correspond to the numerical value 111.

Submit
30. What is conduct disorder?
