Young patient with emphysema:
- A.
Alpha 1 anti-trypsin deficiency
- B.
Cystic Fibrosis
- C.
Pneumonia
- D.
Chronic Asthma
Correct Answer
A. Alpha 1 anti-trypsin deficiencyExplanation
The correct answer is Alpha 1 anti-trypsin deficiency. Emphysema is a condition characterized by damage to the air sacs in the lungs, leading to shortness of breath. Alpha 1 anti-trypsin deficiency is a genetic disorder that causes a deficiency in the protein alpha 1 anti-trypsin, which helps protect the lungs from damage. Without enough of this protein, the lungs are more susceptible to damage, leading to emphysema. This condition typically occurs in younger patients and can be confirmed with genetic testing.Rate this question:

Long arm of chromosome 7
- B.
Short arm of chromosome 8
- C.
Long arm of chromosome 8
- D.
Short arm of chromosome 17
Correct Answer
A. Long arm of chromosome 7Explanation
Cystic fibrosis is a genetic disorder caused by mutations in the CFTR gene, which is located on the long arm of chromosome 7. This gene is responsible for producing a protein that regulates the movement of salt and water in and out of cells. Mutations in the CFTR gene result in the production of a defective protein, leading to the buildup of thick, sticky mucus in the lungs, digestive system, and other organs. Therefore, the correct answer is the long arm of chromosome 7.Rate this question:

Patient with asthma use short acting beta agonist and systemic corticosteroid
- A.
Severe
- B.
Moderate
- C.
Mild persistent
- D.
Mild intermittent
Correct Answer
A. SevereExplanation
Patients with severe asthma require more aggressive treatment compared to patients with mild or moderate asthma. Short-acting beta agonists (SABA) are bronchodilators that provide immediate relief by relaxing the airway muscles. Systemic corticosteroids, on the other hand, are anti-inflammatory medications that help reduce airway inflammation and prevent asthma attacks. The combination of SABA and systemic corticosteroids is commonly used in the treatment of severe asthma to provide both immediate relief and long-term control of symptoms. Therefore, the use of short-acting beta agonist and systemic corticosteroid is appropriate for a patient with severe asthma.Rate this question:

25 years old man had fixation of fractured right femur. Two days later he became dyspnic, chest pain and hemoptysis. ABG:-pH: 7.5, PO2:65,PCO2: 25, initial treatment is
- A.
Heparin
- B.
Furosemide
- C.
Warfarin
- D.
Bronchoscopy
Correct Answer
A. HeparinExplanation
The correct answer is Heparin. The patient's symptoms of dyspnea, chest pain, and hemoptysis suggest a possible pulmonary embolism (PE), which is a common complication following fractures. The arterial blood gas (ABG) findings of a high pH (alkalosis) and low PCO2 (respiratory alkalosis) indicate hyperventilation, which can be a compensatory response to a PE. Heparin is the initial treatment of choice for PE as it prevents further clot formation and helps dissolve existing clots. Furosemide is a diuretic and would not be the appropriate treatment for a PE. Warfarin is used for long-term anticoagulation but has a delayed onset of action and would not be the initial treatment. Bronchoscopy is not indicated in the management of a PE.Rate this question:

60 years admitted to the hospital as end stage COPD, what will you expect in lab.Work ?
- A.
Erythrocytosis
- B.
Low ferritin level
- C.
Hypokalemia
- D.
Hyponatremia
Correct Answer
A. ErythrocytosisExplanation
In end stage COPD, the body compensates for the low oxygen levels by producing more red blood cells, leading to erythrocytosis. This is a common finding in COPD patients as the body tries to improve oxygen-carrying capacity. Low ferritin levels may be seen due to chronic inflammation and poor nutrition. Hypokalemia can occur due to the use of diuretics or corticosteroids. Hyponatremia may be present due to fluid retention and dilutional effect. However, the most expected finding in lab work for a patient with end stage COPD would be erythrocytosis.Rate this question:

Additionally, cow milk is often used as a source of nutrition for calves, who need a higher protein content to support their growth and development. In contrast, human milk is specifically designed to meet the nutritional needs of human infants, which includes a lower protein content compared to cow milk.Rate this question:
