Steroids are useful in
-
Post-sterptococcal glomerulonephritis
-
Membranous glomerulonephritis
-
Rapidly progressing glomerulonephritis
-
Minimal change type
Correct Answer
A. Minimal change typeExplanation
Steroids are useful in the treatment of minimal change type glomerulonephritis. Minimal change disease is a type of kidney disease that primarily affects children. It is characterized by minimal changes in the appearance of the kidney tissue under a microscope. Steroids, such as prednisone, are commonly used in the treatment of minimal change disease because they have been shown to be effective in reducing inflammation and proteinuria (excessive protein in the urine). Steroids help to suppress the immune response and reduce the abnormal immune activity that leads to kidney damage in minimal change disease.Rate this question:

Doll's eye phenomenon is also known as
-
Vagal reflex
-
Oculocephalic reflex
-
Automatic reflex
-
Vital reflex
Correct Answer
A. Oculocephalic reflexExplanation
The Doll's eye phenomenon, also known as the Oculocephalic reflex, refers to the involuntary movement of the eyes in the opposite direction of head movement. This reflex is important for maintaining visual stability and is controlled by the brainstem. The term "Doll's eye" is used because the eye movement resembles the way a doll's eyes would move when the head is tilted or turned. The other options listed (Vagal reflex, Automatic reflex, and Vital reflex) do not accurately describe the specific eye movement seen in the Doll's eye phenomenon.Rate this question:

Organism in bronchiolitis is
-
Adeno virus
-
Influenza virus
-
Rhino virus
-
RSV
Correct Answer
A. RSVExplanation
RSV stands for Respiratory Syncytial Virus, which is a common cause of bronchiolitis. Bronchiolitis is an infection that affects the small airways in the lungs, primarily in infants and young children. RSV is highly contagious and spreads through respiratory droplets. It can cause symptoms like coughing, wheezing, difficulty breathing, and fever. RSV is a leading cause of hospitalization in young children and can be especially severe in premature infants or those with underlying health conditions. Therefore, RSV is the correct answer as it is specifically associated with bronchiolitis.Rate this question:

Recurrent respiratory infections occur in the following diseases , except
-
Bronchiectasis
-
Ventricular septal defect
-
Atrical septal defect
-
Wheezy bronchitis
Correct Answer
A. Ventricular septal defectExplanation
Recurrent respiratory infections can occur in various diseases, including bronchiectasis, atrial septal defect, and wheezy bronchitis. However, ventricular septal defect is not typically associated with recurrent respiratory infections. Ventricular septal defect is a congenital heart defect that involves a hole in the wall separating the two lower chambers of the heart. While it can cause symptoms such as shortness of breath and fatigue, it does not directly lead to recurrent respiratory infections.Rate this question:

The sequence of chages in status ashthmaticus is I. Respriatory acidosis II. Respiratory alkalosis III. Metabolic acidosis IV. Metabolic acidosis
-
I,II,III
-
II,I,III
-
I,III,IV
-
II,I,IV
Correct Answer
A. II,I,IIIExplanation
The correct sequence of changes in status asthmaticus is respiratory alkalosis, followed by respiratory acidosis, and then metabolic acidosis. This is because during an asthma attack, there is initially hyperventilation, leading to a decrease in carbon dioxide levels and respiratory alkalosis. As the attack worsens, the individual becomes fatigued and unable to maintain adequate ventilation, resulting in respiratory acidosis. Finally, prolonged respiratory acidosis can lead to compensatory metabolic acidosis due to the retention of carbon dioxide.Rate this question:

Subdural effusion occurs in children with
-
Tuberculous meningitis
-
Trauma
-
Pyogenic meningitis
-
Viral encephalitis
-
Polio encephalomyelitis
Correct Answer
A. Pyogenic meningitisExplanation
Pyogenic meningitis is the correct answer because subdural effusion is a common complication of this condition. Pyogenic meningitis is an infection of the meninges, the protective membranes surrounding the brain and spinal cord, caused by bacteria. The infection can lead to the accumulation of fluid in the subdural space, resulting in subdural effusion. This can cause symptoms such as headache, fever, neck stiffness, and neurological deficits. Tuberculous meningitis, trauma, viral encephalitis, and polio encephalomyelitis may have other complications or manifestations, but they are not specifically associated with subdural effusion.Rate this question:

Commonest cause of systemic hypertension in children is
-
Coarctation of aorta
-
Acute glomerulonephritis
-
Nephrotic syndrome
-
Lactic acidosis
Correct Answer
A. Acute glomerulonephritisExplanation
Acute glomerulonephritis is the commonest cause of systemic hypertension in children. This condition occurs due to inflammation of the glomeruli in the kidneys, leading to impaired kidney function and increased blood pressure. The inflammation can be caused by various factors such as infections, autoimmune disorders, or certain medications. Hypertension is a common manifestation of acute glomerulonephritis and can be a result of fluid retention and increased renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system activity. Coarctation of aorta, nephrotic syndrome, and lactic acidosis can also cause hypertension, but they are not as common in children as acute glomerulonephritis.Rate this question:

-
Hypoparathyroidism
-
Hyperparathyroidism
-
Hypothyroidism
-
Hyperthyroidism
Correct Answer
A. HypothyroidismExplanation
Epiphyseal dysgenesis refers to the abnormal development of the epiphysis, which is the rounded end of a long bone. This condition is commonly seen in individuals with hypothyroidism, a disorder characterized by an underactive thyroid gland. The thyroid gland plays a crucial role in bone development and metabolism, and a deficiency in thyroid hormones can lead to impaired bone growth and development. Therefore, epiphyseal dysgenesis is considered a pathognomonic feature of hypothyroidism.Rate this question:

Height in inches and weight in pounds are equal by the age of
-
3 years
-
4 years
-
5 years
-
6 years
Correct Answer
A. 4 yearsExplanation
By the age of 4 years, it is common for a child's height in inches and weight in pounds to be equal. This is because children experience rapid growth and development during their early years, and their weight tends to catch up with their height by this age. However, it is important to note that this may vary from child to child, as growth patterns can differ.Rate this question:

Incidence of congenital hypertrophic pyloric stenosis is highest in
-
First female babies
-
First male babies
-
Second male
-
Second female
Correct Answer
A. First male babiesExplanation
The correct answer is "First male babies." Congenital hypertrophic pyloric stenosis is a condition where the muscle in the lower part of the stomach thickens, causing blockage of food from entering the small intestine. It is more commonly found in first-born males, with a higher incidence rate compared to other groups. The exact reason for this is not fully understood, but it may be related to genetic or environmental factors.Rate this question:

Worm infections associated with Vit -A deficiency
-
Whip worm
-
Hook worm
-
Round worm
-
Pin worm
Correct Answer
A. Round wormExplanation
Roundworm infections are commonly associated with vitamin A deficiency. Vitamin A plays a crucial role in maintaining the integrity of the immune system and protecting against various infections, including worm infections. Roundworms, also known as Ascaris, are one of the most common types of parasitic worms that infect humans. These worms can cause a range of symptoms, including abdominal pain, diarrhea, and malnutrition. Vitamin A deficiency weakens the immune system and makes individuals more susceptible to roundworm infections. Therefore, roundworm is the correct answer in this context.Rate this question:
