Krukenberg adenocarcinoma of ovary can occur as a result of metastasis from A/E

Stomach
Breast
Liver
Pancreas

Correct Answer

A. Liver

Krukenberg adenocarcinoma of the ovary is a type of cancer that occurs when cancer cells from another organ, typically the gastrointestinal tract, spread to the ovaries. The most common primary site of metastasis for Krukenberg adenocarcinoma is the stomach, followed by the colon and appendix. However, liver metastasis is also a possible source of Krukenberg adenocarcinoma in the ovaries. Therefore, the correct answer is liver.

Surfactant synthesis starts after about ___ weeks of fetal life

26
20
30
18

Correct Answer

A. 26

Explanation

Surfactant synthesis starts after about 26 weeks of fetal life. This indicates that the production of surfactant, a substance that helps to reduce surface tension in the lungs and prevent alveoli collapse, begins around this time during fetal development. The timing of surfactant synthesis is crucial for the proper functioning of the lungs and the ability of the fetus to breathe effectively after birth.

Rapid antigen tests for meningitis organisms in a child can be done on A/E

Blood
CSF
Urine
Throat swab

Correct Answer

A. Blood

Explanation

Rapid antigen tests for meningitis organisms in a child can be done on blood because blood samples can be easily obtained and analyzed for the presence of specific antigens related to meningitis. This method is commonly used as it provides a quick and accurate diagnosis of meningitis in children. CSF (cerebrospinal fluid) tests are also commonly used, but they are more invasive and require a lumbar puncture. Urine and throat swab tests are not typically used for rapid antigen testing for meningitis organisms in children.

24 months
36 months
48 months
60 months

Correct Answer

A. 48 months

6.

One of the following is traction apophysitis

Pellegrini-Stieda disease
Osgood-Schlatter disease
Albers-Schonberg disease
Marble bone disease

Correct Answer

A. Osgood-Schlatter disease

Explanation

Osgood-Schlatter disease is a condition characterized by inflammation and irritation of the growth plate at the top of the shinbone (tibia), where the tendon from the kneecap (patellar tendon) attaches. It commonly occurs in adolescents who are active in sports that involve running, jumping, and quick changes of direction. The condition causes pain, swelling, and tenderness below the knee, and is often seen in growing teenagers. Pellegrini-Stieda disease is a condition where there is calcification of the medial collateral ligament of the knee. Albers-Schonberg disease, also known as osteopetrosis or marble bone disease, is a rare genetic disorder that causes increased bone density and brittleness.

The mesoderm of primary optic vesicle gives rise to

Smooth muscle of iris
Sclera
Crystalline lens
Ciliary epithelium

Correct Answer

A. Sclera

Explanation

The mesoderm of the primary optic vesicle gives rise to the sclera. The sclera is the tough, white outer layer of the eye that helps to maintain the shape and protect the delicate structures within the eye. It provides attachment points for the muscles that control eye movement and helps to support and protect the internal components of the eye, such as the retina and lens.

The most important target of chlorambucil is

Myeloid tissue
Lymphoid tissue
Neural tissue
Skin

Correct Answer

A. Lymphoid tissue

Explanation

Chlorambucil is an alkylating agent commonly used in the treatment of certain types of cancer, particularly lymphoid malignancies. It works by damaging the DNA of cancer cells, preventing their growth and division. Therefore, the most important target of chlorambucil is lymphoid tissue, as it specifically targets and affects the cancer cells in this type of tissue.

What percentage of khesari dal in diet causes lathyrism in 2-6 months?

10 %
20 %
30 %
73%

Correct Answer

A. 30 %

Explanation

The correct answer is 30%. Lathyrism is a neurological disorder caused by the consumption of khesari dal, which contains a toxin called beta-ODAP. When consumed in high amounts, this toxin can lead to paralysis of the lower limbs. Studies have shown that a diet containing more than 30% khesari dal over a period of 2-6 months can increase the risk of developing lathyrism. Therefore, consuming 30% or more of khesari dal in the diet can cause lathyrism in 2-6 months.
