Bacillus Subtilis can form spore & colonize in the GI tract
- A.
False
- B.
True
- C.
Can from spore but can’t colonize
- D.
Can colonize but sore formation is irregular
Correct Answer
B. TrueExplanation
Bacillus Subtilis is a bacterium that can indeed form spores and colonize in the gastrointestinal (GI) tract. Spore formation is a survival mechanism for the bacterium, allowing it to withstand harsh conditions. Once the spores reach the GI tract, they can germinate and grow, establishing a colonization. Therefore, the statement "Bacillus Subtilis can form spore & colonize in the GI tract" is true.Rate this question:

Choose the drugs which are known to cause Drug Induced Tendinopathy
- A.
Long term glucocorticoids
- B.
Statins
- C.
Quinolones
- D.
All of the above
Correct Answer
D. All of the aboveExplanation
Long-term use of glucocorticoids, statins, and quinolones are known to cause drug-induced tendinopathy. Glucocorticoids are anti-inflammatory medications commonly used to treat conditions such as asthma and rheumatoid arthritis. Statins are medications used to lower cholesterol levels, and quinolones are a class of antibiotics. All of these drugs have been associated with an increased risk of tendinopathy, which is the inflammation or damage to tendons. Therefore, the correct answer is "All of the above."Rate this question:

In Tendinopathy ratio of collagen type III/type I is
- A.
Decreased
- B.
Increased
- C.
Remains same
Correct Answer
B. IncreasedExplanation
In tendinopathy, the ratio of collagen type III to type I is increased. Collagen type I is the main structural component of healthy tendons, providing strength and stability. However, in tendinopathy, there is an abnormal increase in collagen type III, which is a weaker form of collagen. This imbalance in collagen types disrupts the normal structure and function of tendons, leading to tendon pain, inflammation, and reduced mechanical strength. Therefore, an increased ratio of collagen type III to type I is observed in tendinopathy.Rate this question:

Tenomodulin is
- A.
A type of glycoprotein
- B.
Needed for Tendon maturation
- C.
Needed for Tenocyte proliferation
- D.
All of the above
Correct Answer
D. All of the aboveExplanation
Tenomodulin is a glycoprotein that plays a crucial role in tendon maturation and tenocyte proliferation. It is involved in the development and maintenance of healthy tendons by promoting the growth and differentiation of tenocytes, the cells responsible for tendon formation. As a glycoprotein, it contains carbohydrates that help in its function and structure. Therefore, the correct answer is "All of the above" as all the statements mentioned are true.Rate this question:

Name of the enzyme which helps in conversion of large emulsion droplets to mixed micelles in Uprise D3
- A.
Lipase
- B.
Lactase
- C.
Amylase
- D.
Sucrase
Correct Answer
A. LipaseExplanation
Lipase is the correct answer because it is an enzyme that helps in the breakdown and digestion of fats. In the case of Uprise D3, which is likely a dietary supplement or medication containing vitamin D3, lipase would be responsible for breaking down the large emulsion droplets of fat into smaller, more easily absorbed mixed micelles. This process is essential for the body to efficiently absorb and utilize the fat-soluble vitamin D3.Rate this question:
