-
Dried fruits and meat
-
Raw chicken and eggs
-
Sausages and rice
Correct Answer
A. Meat seafood, ethanol, soft drinks, and fructoseExplanation
Certain types of food can increase the risk of developing gout. Gout is a form of arthritis that occurs when there is a buildup of uric acid in the body, leading to inflammation and pain in the joints. Meat and seafood are high in purines, which can increase uric acid levels in the body. Ethanol, found in alcoholic beverages, can also raise uric acid levels. Soft drinks and fructose, a type of sugar found in many processed foods, can contribute to higher uric acid levels as well. Therefore, consuming these foods and drinks can expose individuals to a higher risk of developing gout.Rate this question:

What are the known symptoms of gout?
-
High blood pressure and nervousness
-
Severe fatigue
-
Severe pain, swelling, tenderness
-
Temporary blindness
Correct Answer
A. Severe pain, swelling, tendernessExplanation
The known symptoms of gout include severe pain, swelling, and tenderness. Gout is a form of arthritis that occurs when uric acid crystals build up in the joints, leading to inflammation and intense pain. The affected joints, commonly the big toe, become red, swollen, and extremely tender. These symptoms can be debilitating and can last for several days or even weeks. It is important to seek medical attention if these symptoms occur, as gout can lead to further complications if left untreated.Rate this question:

What are examples of nonpharmacologic treatments?
-
Diet, lifestyle modification, etc.
-
Workout
-
Exposure to the sun
-
Walking
Correct Answer
A. Diet, lifestyle modification, etc.Explanation
Nonpharmacologic treatments refer to therapies or interventions that do not involve the use of medications. Examples of such treatments include diet and lifestyle modifications, which may involve changes in eating habits and physical activity levels. These can be effective in managing various health conditions and promoting overall well-being. The answer "Diet, lifestyle modification, etc." accurately encompasses the broad range of nonpharmacologic treatments that can be utilized in healthcare.Rate this question:

Urate -lowering therapies
-
Veniculture
Correct Answer
A. Urate -lowering therapiesExplanation
Urate-lowering therapies are medications used to treat conditions such as gout, which is caused by an excess of uric acid in the body. These medications work by either reducing the production of uric acid or increasing its elimination from the body. Examples of urate-lowering therapies include allopurinol and febuxostat. These medications help to lower the levels of uric acid in the blood, reducing the risk of gout attacks and preventing long-term complications.Rate this question:

What's the purpose of using urate-lowering therapies?
-
It's to prevent acute gouts attacks and the development of tophi
-
To help the patient digestive system
-
It to prevents patients from having diahrrea
-
It prevents patients from having puss
Correct Answer
A. It's to prevent acute gouts attacks and the development of tophiExplanation
Urate-lowering therapies are used to prevent acute gout attacks and the development of tophi. Gout is a form of arthritis that occurs when there is a buildup of uric acid crystals in the joints, leading to inflammation and pain. Urate-lowering therapies work by reducing the levels of uric acid in the body, which helps to prevent the formation of these crystals. By preventing acute gout attacks and the development of tophi (which are collections of uric acid crystals), these therapies aim to alleviate symptoms and improve the overall quality of life for patients with gout.Rate this question:

How does Colchicine work?
-
It reduces pain caused by leukocytes
-
It reduces inflammation by leukocytes
-
It reduces puss creation by leukocytes
-
It reduces lactic acid production by leukocytes
Correct Answer
A. It reduces lactic acid production by leukocytesExplanation
Colchicine works by reducing lactic acid production by leukocytes. Leukocytes, also known as white blood cells, are an important part of the immune system and are involved in the inflammatory response. Excessive lactic acid production by leukocytes can contribute to inflammation and tissue damage. By reducing lactic acid production, colchicine helps to alleviate inflammation and associated symptoms such as pain.Rate this question:

What do NSAIDs do?
-
They reduce white blood cells production
-
They inhibit the cyclooxygenase enzymes
-
They stop the pain
-
They kill blood cells
Correct Answer
A. They inhibit the cyclooxygenase enzymesExplanation
NSAIDs (nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs) work by inhibiting the cyclooxygenase enzymes. These enzymes are responsible for the production of prostaglandins, which are hormone-like substances that cause inflammation, pain, and fever. By blocking these enzymes, NSAIDs reduce inflammation, relieve pain, and lower fever.Rate this question:

What is COX?
-
It stands for cyclooxygenase
-
It sands for gocyclooxygenase
-
It stands for coxxy
-
It stands for coocite
Correct Answer
A. It stands for cyclooxygenaseExplanation
COX stands for cyclooxygenase, which is an enzyme involved in the production of prostaglandins, which are important mediators of inflammation and pain. Cyclooxygenase has two isoforms, COX-1 and COX-2, with different functions and tissue distributions. COX-1 is constitutively expressed in many tissues and is involved in maintaining normal physiological functions, while COX-2 is induced during inflammation and is responsible for the production of prostaglandins that mediate pain and inflammation. Understanding the role of COX is important in the development of drugs that target this enzyme for the treatment of various inflammatory conditions.Rate this question:
