    Overproduction of uric acid is most likely to cause which of the following? - ProProfs

    Overproduction of uric acid is most likely to cause which of the following?

    • Ulcer

    • Gout

    • Appendicitis

    • Hepatitis

    Correct Answer
    A. Gout
    Explanation
    Gout is caused by the overproduction of uric acid in the body. Uric acid is a waste product that is normally excreted through urine. However, when there is an excess of uric acid in the blood, it can form crystals that accumulate in the joints, leading to inflammation and severe pain. This condition primarily affects the joints, especially the big toe, and is characterized by sudden and intense attacks of pain, swelling, and redness. Therefore, gout is the most likely outcome of overproduction of uric acid.

    Osteoarthritis mostly affects in all the areas except? - ProProfs

    Osteoarthritis mostly affects in all the areas except?

    • Knees

    • Hips

    • Spine

    • Shoulder

    Correct Answer
    A. Shoulder
    Explanation
    Osteoarthritis is a degenerative joint disease that commonly affects the knees, hips, and spine. However, it typically does not affect the shoulder joint. This may be due to the fact that the shoulder joint has a different anatomical structure and is subjected to different types of stress and movement compared to other joints. Therefore, while osteoarthritis can cause pain and stiffness in various joints, the shoulder is usually spared from this condition.

    Hemoglobin levels over 14 do not indicate anemia. Is the above statement true or false? - ProProfs

    Hemoglobin levels over 14 do not indicate anemia. Is the above statement true or false?

    • Yes, it's true

    • No, it's false

    • Yes, it's false

    • No, it's true

    Correct Answer
    A. Yes, it's true
    Explanation
    Hemoglobin levels over 14 do not indicate anemia because anemia is defined as a condition characterized by a deficiency of red blood cells or hemoglobin in the blood. Hemoglobin levels over 14 are considered within the normal range and therefore do not suggest the presence of anemia.

    Which of the following is the removal of bone that was affected by chronic osteomyelitis? - ProProfs

    Which of the following is the removal of bone that was affected by chronic osteomyelitis?

    • Sequestrum

    • Periosteal elevation

    • Ankylosis

    • Anotia

    Correct Answer
    A. Sequestrum
    Explanation
    Sequestrum is the correct answer because it refers to the removal of bone that has been affected by chronic osteomyelitis. In this condition, a piece of dead bone separates from the healthy bone due to infection. The sequestrum must be surgically removed to promote healing and prevent further complications. Periosteal elevation, ankylosis, and anotia are not directly related to the removal of bone affected by chronic osteomyelitis.

    • Cranial nerve X

    • Cranial nerve XI

    • Cranial nerve V

    • None of the above

    Correct Answer
    A. None of the above
    Explanation
    Bell's palsy is a condition characterized by sudden weakness or paralysis of the facial muscles. It is believed to be caused by inflammation or compression of the facial nerve (cranial nerve VII), not by any of the cranial nerves mentioned in the options (X, XI, V). Therefore, the correct answer is "None of the above."

    According to Brown-Sequard's syndrome, which of the options is false? - ProProfs

    According to Brown-Sequard's syndrome, which of the options is false?

    • Motor functions, proprioception, vibration and deep touch sensations are lost on the same side of the lesion

    • Sense of pain, temperature and light touch are affected on the contralateral side.

    • Motor functions, proprioception, vibration and deep touch are left on the if the lesion is on the left side of the cord.

    • Option 4

    Correct Answer
    A. Option 4
    Explanation
    The correct answer is that motor functions, proprioception, vibration, and deep touch are left intact if the lesion is on the left side of the cord. This means that the statement in option 4 is false. According to Brown-Sequard's syndrome, these functions are lost on the same side of the lesion, while the sense of pain, temperature, and light touch are affected on the contralateral side.

    Hypersensitivity to eggs is a contraindication to which of the following? - ProProfs

    Hypersensitivity to eggs is a contraindication to which of the following?

    • Yeast

    • Inactivated poliovirus

    • Influenza vaccine

    • MMR

    Correct Answer
    A. Influenza vaccine
    Explanation
    Hypersensitivity to eggs is a contraindication to the influenza vaccine because the vaccine is typically produced using eggs. People with egg allergies may have an allergic reaction to the vaccine if they receive it. Therefore, it is recommended that individuals with a known hypersensitivity to eggs avoid receiving the influenza vaccine.

    Which of the following is the loss of ability to retain new memories that occur after the amnesia event?  - ProProfs

    Which of the following is the loss of ability to retain new memories that occur after the amnesia event? 

    • Selective amnesia

    • Retrograde amnesia

    • Anterograde amnesia

    • Fugue state

    Correct Answer
    A. Anterograde amnesia
    Explanation
    Anterograde amnesia refers to the loss of ability to form new memories after an amnesia event. This means that individuals with anterograde amnesia are unable to retain or remember new information, events, or experiences that occur after the event that caused the amnesia. It is important to note that anterograde amnesia does not affect the ability to recall memories from before the amnesia event, which is known as retrograde amnesia. Selective amnesia refers to the selective loss of specific memories, while fugue state is a dissociative disorder characterized by amnesia and identity confusion.

    I. Dermatomyositis  ii. Eosinophilic fasciitis   iii. Polymyositis Which of the above are similar in their manifestations?

    • I & iii

    • Ii & i

    • Ii and iii

    • I and iii

    Correct Answer
    A. I and iii
    Explanation
    Dermatomyositis and polymyositis are similar in their manifestations. Both conditions are inflammatory muscle diseases that can cause muscle weakness and skin rashes. They are both characterized by muscle inflammation and can affect multiple muscle groups in the body. However, eosinophilic fasciitis is a different condition that primarily affects the fascia, the connective tissue surrounding muscles, and does not typically involve muscle inflammation. Therefore, the correct answer is i and iii.
