Emphysema is not linked to which of the following terms?
- A.
Blue Bloater
- B.
Dyspnea
- C.
Liver cirrhosis
- D.
Tachycardia
Correct Answer
A. Blue BloaterExplanation
Emphysema is a chronic lung disease characterized by damage to the air sacs in the lungs, leading to shortness of breath and difficulty breathing. It is commonly associated with symptoms such as dyspnea (difficulty breathing) and tachycardia (rapid heart rate). However, it is not linked to the term "blue bloater," which is a term used to describe a subtype of chronic bronchitis. Blue bloaters typically have a bluish skin color due to low oxygen levels and often experience fluid retention, which is not directly associated with emphysema. Liver cirrhosis is also unrelated to emphysema, as it is a condition affecting the liver.Rate this question:

Guillian-Barre' is not linked to which of the following statements?
- A.
Infections often present.
- B.
Greater initial upper extremity deficits
- C.
Increased CSF protein levels
- D.
Hypertension
Correct Answer
B. Greater initial upper extremity deficitsExplanation
Guillian-Barre' is a neurological disorder characterized by muscle weakness and paralysis. It is often associated with infections, such as respiratory or gastrointestinal infections. Increased CSF protein levels are commonly observed in individuals with Guillian-Barre'. However, greater initial upper extremity deficits are not typically linked to Guillian-Barre'. This suggests that the severity of muscle weakness and paralysis in the upper extremities may not be a distinguishing feature of this disorder.Rate this question:

Which of the following is not a cause of acute pancreatitis?
- A.
Hyperlipidemia
- B.
Ethanol
- C.
Steroids
- D.
Hypotension
Correct Answer
D. HypotensionExplanation
Hypotension is not a cause of acute pancreatitis. Acute pancreatitis is commonly caused by hyperlipidemia, ethanol consumption, and the use of steroids. Hypotension, which refers to low blood pressure, does not directly contribute to the development of pancreatitis. Instead, it is more commonly associated with conditions such as shock or dehydration.Rate this question:

Which of the following is not directly related with Horner's syndrome?
- A.
Miosis
- B.
Malaise
- C.
Ptosis
- D.
Anhidrosis
Correct Answer
B. MalaiseExplanation
Horner's syndrome is a condition characterized by a combination of symptoms that result from damage to the sympathetic nerves of the face. These symptoms include miosis (constricted pupil), ptosis (drooping eyelid), and anhidrosis (lack of sweating). Malaise, on the other hand, refers to a general feeling of discomfort or unease, and it is not directly associated with the specific symptoms of Horner's syndrome. Therefore, malaise is not directly related to Horner's syndrome.Rate this question:

Which of the following is not a type of embolus?
- A.
Air
- B.
Bacteria
- C.
Tumor
- D.
Viral
Correct Answer
D. ViralExplanation
The given question asks for a type of embolus that does not exist. An embolus refers to a foreign object that travels through the bloodstream and can cause blockages in blood vessels. Air, bacteria, and tumor are all examples of emboli that can cause blockages, while viral particles do not typically travel through the bloodstream and cause blockages. Therefore, viral is not a type of embolus.Rate this question:

Which of the following is not directly related with Buerger's disease?
- A.
Claudication
- B.
Thromboangitis obliterans
- C.
Night sweats
- D.
Poor tolerance of cold
Correct Answer
C. Night sweatsExplanation
Night sweats are not directly related to Buerger's disease. Buerger's disease, also known as thromboangitis obliterans, is a condition that affects the blood vessels in the arms and legs. It causes inflammation and clotting, leading to reduced blood flow and tissue damage. Symptoms of Buerger's disease include pain, ulcers, and poor tolerance of cold. Night sweats, on the other hand, are excessive sweating during sleep and are not typically associated with Buerger's disease.Rate this question:

Which of the following is not directly related with Kawasaki disease?
- A.
Lymphadenitis
- B.
Fever
- C.
Arthritis
- D.
Conjunctiva
Correct Answer
C. ArthritisExplanation
Arthritis is not directly related to Kawasaki disease. Kawasaki disease is an acute febrile illness that primarily affects children and causes inflammation in the blood vessels throughout the body. The main symptoms include prolonged high fever, lymphadenitis (inflammation of lymph nodes), and conjunctiva (redness and swelling of the eyes). While arthritis can occur as a secondary symptom in some cases, it is not considered a direct symptom of Kawasaki disease.Rate this question:

Which of the following is not directly related with pheochromocytoma?
- A.
Pallor
- B.
Perspiration
- C.
Decreased blood pressure
- D.
Headaches
Correct Answer
C. Decreased blood pressureExplanation
Pheochromocytoma is a tumor of the adrenal glands that causes excessive production of adrenaline and noradrenaline. This leads to symptoms such as pallor, perspiration, and headaches, which are directly related to the excess release of these hormones. However, decreased blood pressure is not directly related to pheochromocytoma. In fact, increased blood pressure is a common symptom of this condition due to the excessive release of adrenaline and noradrenaline. Therefore, decreased blood pressure is not directly associated with pheochromocytoma.Rate this question:

Which of the following is not directly related with Sarcoidosis?
- A.
Interstitial fibrosis
- B.
Elevated levels of ACE
- C.
RA
- D.
Obstructive lung disease
Correct Answer
D. Obstructive lung diseaseExplanation
Sarcoidosis is a disease characterized by the formation of granulomas in various organs, including the lungs. Interstitial fibrosis and elevated levels of ACE (angiotensin-converting enzyme) are commonly associated with sarcoidosis. RA (rheumatoid arthritis) can also occur in some cases. However, obstructive lung disease is not directly related to sarcoidosis. Obstructive lung disease refers to conditions such as chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and asthma, which involve narrowing of the airways and difficulty in exhaling air. While sarcoidosis can sometimes lead to obstructive lung disease as a complication, it is not a direct characteristic of the disease itself.Rate this question:

- A.
Genetics
- B.
Obesity
- C.
Youth
- D.
Smoking
Correct Answer
C. YouthExplanation
Youth is not a risk factor for hypertension because hypertension is more commonly associated with older age. As people age, their blood vessels become less flexible and their blood pressure tends to rise. Genetics, obesity, and smoking are all known risk factors for hypertension as they can contribute to high blood pressure.Rate this question:

Which of the following is not a characteristic of MS?
- A.
Nystagmus
- B.
Elevated IgE levels
- C.
Optic neuritis
- D.
Tremors
Correct Answer
B. Elevated IgE levelsExplanation
Elevated IgE levels are not a characteristic of MS. MS is a neurological disorder that affects the central nervous system, causing symptoms such as nystagmus (involuntary eye movement), optic neuritis (inflammation of the optic nerve), and tremors. However, elevated IgE levels are not typically associated with MS. IgE is an immunoglobulin that is involved in allergic reactions and is not directly related to the pathophysiology of MS.Rate this question:
