Opium has a long history of use and abuse, and its consumption can lead to addiction and other health issues.
2.
Gall stone is commonly impacted in?
Correct Answer
A. Ileum
Explanation
Gall stones are commonly impacted in the ileum, which is the last part of the small intestine. The ileum is responsible for absorbing nutrients from digested food before it moves into the colon. If a gall stone becomes lodged in the ileum, it can cause blockage and lead to symptoms such as abdominal pain, nausea, and vomiting. The ileum is a common site for gall stones to become impacted due to its narrow diameter and the presence of certain anatomical structures that can trap the stones.
3.
Plasma retinol value which is considered as marginal in children is?
Correct Answer
C. 0.7 to 1.05 μmol/L
4.
MTP act of 1971 provides for termination of pregnancy till what age?
Correct Answer
B. 20 weeks
Explanation
The correct answer is 20 weeks. The Medical Termination of Pregnancy (MTP) Act of 1971 in India allows for the termination of pregnancy up to 20 weeks. This act was implemented to provide safe and legal options for women who wish to terminate their pregnancies for various reasons. After the 20-week mark, termination of pregnancy is only allowed in exceptional circumstances, such as if the mother's life is in danger or if the fetus has severe abnormalities.
5.
Zero order kinetics is followed by all of the following except?
Correct Answer
C. Barbiturates
Explanation
Zero order kinetics refers to a type of drug metabolism where the rate of elimination remains constant regardless of the drug concentration. Phenytoin and ethanol are known to follow zero order kinetics, meaning their elimination rate is independent of their concentration. However, barbiturates do not follow zero order kinetics. Therefore, the correct answer is barbiturates.
6.
Frequent changes in glasses is associated with which of the following diseases
Correct Answer
C. Open angle glaucoma
Explanation
Frequent changes in glasses are often associated with open angle glaucoma. This is because open angle glaucoma causes a gradual loss of peripheral vision, which can result in the need for frequent changes in glasses prescription. This condition is characterized by increased pressure in the eye, which can damage the optic nerve and lead to vision loss if left untreated. Therefore, individuals with open angle glaucoma may experience changes in their vision that require adjustments to their glasses prescription.
7.
Cough is an adverse effect seen in administration of which of the following
Correct Answer
B. Enalapril
Explanation
Enalapril is an angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitor commonly used to treat high blood pressure and heart failure. One of the adverse effects associated with enalapril is cough. This cough is believed to be caused by the accumulation of bradykinin, a substance that is normally broken down by ACE. When ACE is inhibited by enalapril, bradykinin levels increase, leading to irritation and coughing. Therefore, cough is a known side effect of enalapril administration.
8.
Drug which can be safely used in pregnancy is
Correct Answer
B. Heparin
Explanation
Heparin is the correct answer because it is considered safe to use during pregnancy. Tetracycline and warfarin, on the other hand, are contraindicated in pregnancy due to their potential harmful effects on the developing fetus. Heparin, a blood thinner, is commonly used in pregnancy to prevent blood clots and is not known to cause any significant harm to the fetus. Therefore, it is the drug of choice when anticoagulation therapy is required during pregnancy.
9.
Cauliflower ear is due to?
Correct Answer
A. Hematoma of the ear
Explanation
Cauliflower ear is a condition that occurs due to hematoma of the ear. Hematoma refers to the accumulation of blood in the ear, usually as a result of trauma or injury to the ear. When blood collects in the space between the cartilage and the perichondrium (the connective tissue that covers the cartilage), it can lead to the deformation and swelling of the ear, giving it a cauliflower-like appearance. Therefore, hematoma of the ear is the correct explanation for cauliflower ear.
10.
Abdominal approach is used in?
Correct Answer
D. Ripstein operation
Explanation
Ripstein’s operation is the abdominal approach for rectal prolapse.
11.
Which of the following antihypertensive drugs should not be used in a patient on Lithium in order to prevent Lithium Toxicity?
Correct Answer
A. Diuretics
Explanation
Diuretics should not be used in a patient on Lithium to prevent Lithium Toxicity because diuretics can increase the excretion of lithium, leading to decreased lithium levels in the body. This can reduce the effectiveness of lithium as a mood stabilizer and potentially lead to relapse of bipolar disorder symptoms. Therefore, avoiding diuretics is important to maintain therapeutic lithium levels and prevent lithium toxicity.
12.
Preservation is?
Correct Answer
A. Persistent and inappropriate repetition of the same thoughts
Explanation
Preservation is seen in Schizophrenia
13.
This logo is accepted by WHO for awareness of?
Correct Answer
A. Colon cancer
Explanation
The logo is accepted by WHO for awareness of colon cancer. This means that the logo represents and promotes awareness about the prevention, early detection, and treatment of colon cancer. It serves as a symbol to educate and inform people about the risks, symptoms, and importance of regular screenings for colon cancer. By using this logo, WHO aims to raise awareness and reduce the incidence and mortality rates associated with colon cancer.
14.
Following fundus picture is suggestive of?
Correct Answer
A. Macular edema
Explanation
The fundus picture is suggestive of macular edema. Macular edema refers to the swelling and fluid accumulation in the macula, which is the central part of the retina responsible for sharp vision. This condition can occur due to various causes, such as diabetes, retinal vein occlusion, or inflammation. In the given fundus picture, there may be signs of fluid accumulation or thickening in the macular region, indicating macular edema. Retinitis pigmentosa is a genetic disorder characterized by progressive degeneration of the retina, Purtschner's disease is not a recognized medical condition, and Coat's disease is a rare eye disorder characterized by abnormal blood vessels in the retina.
15.
Complications of stellate ganglion block are all except?
Correct Answer
C. Mueller's syndrome
Explanation
Mueller’s syndrome is a sign of successful stellate ganglion block in which there is warmth of the face and injection of the tympanic membrane.
16.

17.
All of the following are seen in tuberous sclerosis except?
Correct Answer
B. Civatte bodies
Explanation
Civatte bodies are seen in lichen planus,
18.
ECG is suggestive of?
Correct Answer
B. Atrial flutter
Explanation
The correct answer is Atrial flutter. Atrial flutter is a type of abnormal heart rhythm characterized by a rapid and regular atrial contraction. This can be identified on an ECG by the presence of sawtooth-shaped flutter waves, typically occurring at a rate of 250-350 beats per minute. Atrial fibrillation, on the other hand, is characterized by irregular and chaotic atrial contractions, while SVT (supraventricular tachycardia) refers to any rapid heart rhythm originating from above the ventricles. Wolf Parkinson White syndrome is a specific type of SVT characterized by an accessory pathway in the heart.
19.
Deficiency of lysyl hydroxylase causes?
Correct Answer
D. Menkes disease
Explanation
Menkes disease is caused by a deficiency of lysyl hydroxylase. Lysyl hydroxylase is an enzyme that is responsible for modifying collagen, a protein that provides strength and structure to connective tissues. Without lysyl hydroxylase, collagen cannot be properly formed, leading to the characteristic symptoms of Menkes disease, including developmental delays, neurological abnormalities, and abnormal hair growth. Alport syndrome is caused by mutations in genes encoding type IV collagen, not lysyl hydroxylase. Epidermolysis bullosa is caused by mutations in genes encoding proteins involved in maintaining the integrity of the skin. Therefore, the correct answer is Menkes disease.
20.
The area marked by arrow in image is?
Correct Answer
A. Quadrigeminal cistern
Explanation
The area marked by the arrow in the image is the quadrigeminal cistern. This is a cerebrospinal fluid-filled space located in the midbrain, specifically between the cerebral aqueduct and the superior colliculus. It is an important anatomical landmark in the brain and is involved in the circulation and drainage of cerebrospinal fluid.
