The most common site of origin of the tumor associated with the Zollinger-Ellison syndrome is:
- Pancreas
- Stomach
- Spleen
- Lymph node
- Duodenum
Correct Answer

A. Pancreas

Explanation

The most common site of origin of the tumor associated with the Zollinger-Ellison syndrome is the pancreas. Zollinger-Ellison syndrome is a rare condition characterized by the presence of gastrin-secreting tumors called gastrinomas. These tumors are most commonly found in the pancreas, although they can also occur in other parts of the digestive system such as the duodenum. The excessive production of gastrin by these tumors leads to increased acid production in the stomach, causing symptoms such as peptic ulcers, abdominal pain, and diarrhea. Therefore, the pancreas is the correct answer as it is the primary site of origin for these tumors.

Which of the following associated with fetal congenital heart disease
- Rubella
- Toxoplasmosis
- HIV
- HSV
Correct Answer

A. Rubella

Explanation

Rubella is associated with fetal congenital heart disease. Rubella, also known as German measles, is caused by a viral infection. If a pregnant woman contracts rubella during the first trimester, it can lead to various birth defects, including congenital heart disease in the fetus. This occurs because the rubella virus can cross the placenta and affect the developing heart of the baby. Therefore, rubella is a known risk factor for fetal congenital heart disease.

Athletic female with 3 month history of amenorrhea O/E otherwise healthy , Workup of FSH , LH , Prolactine , were all normal what is most likely diagnosis?
- Hypothalamic amenorrhea
- Ovarian or adrenal failure
- Genetic syndrome
- Pituitary adenoma
Correct Answer

A. Hypothalamic amenorrhea

Explanation

The most likely diagnosis in this case is hypothalamic amenorrhea. This is supported by the fact that the patient is athletic and has a 3-month history of amenorrhea, which suggests a disruption in the hypothalamic-pituitary-ovarian axis. The normal levels of FSH, LH, and prolactin indicate that there is no ovarian or adrenal failure, genetic syndrome, or pituitary adenoma causing the amenorrhea. Hypothalamic amenorrhea is commonly seen in athletes due to the stress and energy imbalance associated with intense physical activity.

2 week baby born with hypotonia, areflexia, fasiculations of the tounge andrespiratory distress, he was born full term , pregnancy with this baby was normal noteventful , nerve conduction studies were done and were normal, he has Pneumonitison x-rays , the diagnosis is :
- Hypothyroidism
- Gillian Barre syndrome
- Myasthenia Gravis
- Cerebral Palsy
Correct Answer

A. Hypothyroidism

Explanation

The correct answer is Hypothyroidism. This is because the baby is presenting with hypotonia, areflexia, fasciculations of the tongue, and respiratory distress, which are all characteristic features of hypothyroidism in newborns. The normal nerve conduction studies indicate that there is no nerve damage or dysfunction, ruling out conditions like Guillain-Barre syndrome and myasthenia gravis. Cerebral palsy is also unlikely as the baby was born full term with a normal pregnancy. The presence of pneumonitis on x-rays may be a secondary finding in hypothyroidism.

A known case of treated Hodgkin lymphoma with radiotherapy not on regular follow up presented with gradual painless difficulty in swallowing and breathing on examination there is facial swelling and redness,what is the diagnosis?
- SVC obstruction
- Abdominal aortic aneurism
- Thoracic aortic aneurysm
- IVC obstruction
Correct Answer

A. SVC obstruction

Explanation

The correct answer is SVC obstruction. SVC obstruction occurs when there is a blockage or compression of the superior vena cava, a large vein that carries deoxygenated blood from the upper body to the heart. In this case, the patient's history of treated Hodgkin lymphoma and the symptoms of gradual painless difficulty in swallowing and breathing, along with facial swelling and redness, are indicative of SVC obstruction. This can occur as a late complication of radiotherapy for Hodgkin lymphoma, causing compression or narrowing of the SVC.

Which of the following found to reduce the risk of postherapeutic neuralgia?
- Acyclovir only
- Corticosteroids only
- Acyclovir and Corticosteroids
Correct Answer

A. Acyclovir only

Explanation

Acyclovir is a medication commonly used to treat viral infections, including herpes. Postherpetic neuralgia is a complication that can occur after a herpes infection, causing chronic pain in the affected area. Acyclovir has been found to reduce the risk of developing postherpetic neuralgia by effectively treating the underlying viral infection. Corticosteroids, on the other hand, are not specifically targeted towards viral infections and may not have the same effect in preventing postherpetic neuralgia. Therefore, the correct answer is acyclovir only.

Old man with a non tender cervical mass, what is the best diagnostic procedure?
- Fine needle aspiration
- CT scan
- Ultrasound
- TSH level
Correct Answer

A. Fine needle aspiration

Explanation

Fine needle aspiration is the best diagnostic procedure for an old man with a non-tender cervical mass. This procedure involves using a thin needle to extract cells from the mass for examination under a microscope. It is a minimally invasive and relatively safe procedure that can provide valuable information about the nature of the mass, such as whether it is cancerous or benign. CT scan and ultrasound can also provide helpful imaging information, but they may not be as effective in obtaining a definitive diagnosis. TSH level, on the other hand, is a blood test used to assess thyroid function and would not be relevant in this case.

what is the best management for a patient chronic pain ?
- Acetaminophen
- Naloxon
- Morphine
- Ibuprofen
Correct Answer

A. Acetaminophen

Explanation

Acetaminophen is often considered the best management for a patient with chronic pain. It is a commonly used over-the-counter pain reliever that can effectively reduce pain and fever. It is generally safe and well-tolerated when used as directed, making it a suitable option for long-term pain management. Acetaminophen is particularly recommended for individuals who cannot take nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) like ibuprofen or opioids like morphine due to contraindications or side effects. Naloxone, on the other hand, is an opioid antagonist used to reverse opioid overdose, and morphine is a potent opioid analgesic typically reserved for severe pain. Therefore, acetaminophen is the best choice among the given options for managing chronic pain.

Regarding breast malignancy which of the following is Bilateral ?
- Lobular carcinoma
- Ductal ectasia
- Pager's disease
- Infiltrating ductal carcinoma
Correct Answer

A. Lobular carcinoma

Explanation

Lobular carcinoma is a type of breast malignancy that can occur in both breasts simultaneously, making it bilateral. This type of cancer starts in the milk-producing glands of the breast and can spread to other parts of the body. Ductal ectasia, Paget's disease, and infiltrating ductal carcinoma are all types of breast malignancies that typically affect only one breast and are therefore not bilateral.

60 years female, c/o back pain, bone density=2.5, what will you do ?
- Calcium+ Vitamin D + phosphorus
- Exercise advise
- Calcium
- NSAID
Correct Answer

A. Calcium+ Vitamin D + phosphorus

Explanation

The correct answer is calcium+ Vitamin D + phosphorus. This is because the patient is a 60-year-old female complaining of back pain and has a bone density of 2.5. This bone density indicates osteoporosis, a condition characterized by low bone mass and deterioration of bone tissue. Calcium, Vitamin D, and phosphorus are essential nutrients for maintaining bone health and can help prevent further bone loss and fractures. Exercise advice is also important for strengthening the bones and muscles. NSAIDs may provide temporary relief for the pain, but they do not address the underlying issue of osteoporosis.

Cause of Polyhydramnios?
- Duodenal atresia
- Post mortem pregnancy
- Mother with diabetes insipidus
- Renal agenesis
Correct Answer

A. Duodenal atresia

Explanation

Duodenal atresia is a congenital condition where there is a blockage or narrowing of the duodenum, the first part of the small intestine. This blockage can lead to an accumulation of amniotic fluid in the womb, causing polyhydramnios. Polyhydramnios is a condition characterized by an excessive amount of amniotic fluid surrounding the fetus. Therefore, duodenal atresia can be a cause of polyhydramnios.

Old female with recurrent fracture, Vitamin D insufficiency and smoker. Which exogenous factor has the greatest exogenous side effect on osteoporosis?
- Smoking
- Old age
- Vitamin D insufficiency
- Recurrent fracture
Correct Answer

A. Smoking

Explanation

Smoking has the greatest exogenous side effect on osteoporosis because it decreases the production of estrogen, which is important for maintaining bone density. Smoking also increases inflammation and oxidative stress, both of which can contribute to bone loss. Additionally, smoking impairs the absorption of calcium, an essential mineral for bone health. Therefore, smoking can accelerate bone loss and increase the risk of fractures in individuals with osteoporosis.

Patient G3 P3 all her deliveries were normal except after the second one she did D&C , Labs all normal except: high FSH, high LH, low estrogen, what s the diagnosis?
- Asherman syndrome
- Turner syndrome
- Sheehan syndrome
- Ovarian failure
Correct Answer

A. Asherman syndrome

Explanation

The patient's history of normal deliveries and the presence of high FSH, high LH, and low estrogen levels suggest a diagnosis of Asherman syndrome. Asherman syndrome is characterized by the formation of scar tissue in the uterus, usually as a result of previous D&C procedures. This can lead to menstrual abnormalities, infertility, and hormonal imbalances. The high FSH and LH levels indicate ovarian dysfunction, which is commonly associated with Asherman syndrome. Turner syndrome is unlikely as it is a genetic condition that causes various physical and developmental abnormalities. Sheehan syndrome is also unlikely as it is characterized by postpartum pituitary gland necrosis, which would not explain the hormonal imbalances seen in this patient. Ovarian failure could be a possibility, but the specific history of D&C and normal deliveries points more towards Asherman syndrome.

Old female with pubic itching with bloody discharge, then she developed pea shaped swelling in herlabia, most likely:
- Bartholin gland carcinoma
- Bartholin cyst
- Bartholin abscess
Correct Answer

A. Bartholin gland carcinoma

Explanation

Based on the symptoms described, such as pubic itching with bloody discharge and the development of a pea-shaped swelling in the labia, the most likely diagnosis is Bartholin gland carcinoma. Bartholin gland carcinoma is a rare form of cancer that affects the Bartholin glands, which are located on either side of the vaginal opening. The symptoms mentioned are indicative of a malignant growth in the Bartholin gland. Bartholin cyst and abscess are more common benign conditions that typically present with different symptoms.

Regarding postpartum Psychosis:
- Recurrences are common in subsequent pregnancies
- It often progresses to frank schizophrenia
- It has good prognosis
- It has insidious onset
- It usually develops around the 3rd week postpartum
Correct Answer

A. Recurrences are common in subsequent pregnancies

Explanation

Recurrences are common in subsequent pregnancies because postpartum psychosis is often triggered by hormonal changes during pregnancy and childbirth. These hormonal fluctuations can disrupt brain chemistry and increase the risk of developing psychosis. Therefore, women who have previously experienced postpartum psychosis are more likely to experience it again in future pregnancies. This recurrence pattern highlights the importance of early detection and intervention to ensure the well-being of both the mother and the baby.

Patient present with gross haematuria what best investigation
- Cystscopy
- Renal biopsy
- Urine culure
- U/S
Correct Answer

A. Cystscopy

Explanation

Cystoscopy is the best investigation for a patient presenting with gross hematuria. This procedure involves inserting a thin tube with a camera into the bladder to examine the urinary tract for any abnormalities or sources of bleeding. It allows direct visualization of the bladder and urethra, making it a valuable diagnostic tool in identifying the cause of hematuria. Renal biopsy is not necessary in this scenario as the focus is on the lower urinary tract. Urine culture may be useful to detect any urinary tract infections, but it does not provide direct visualization. Ultrasound (U/S) can be helpful in assessing the kidneys and urinary system, but cystoscopy provides more accurate information in this case.

Child , 22kg he is dehydrated what is the rate of fluid given to this child per hour?
- 65ml
- 90ml
- 130ml
- 30ml
Correct Answer

A. 65ml

Explanation

The rate of fluid given to the child per hour is 65ml. This is determined based on the child's weight (22kg) and the fact that he is dehydrated. The appropriate fluid replacement for a dehydrated child is typically calculated as 100ml/kg/day. Therefore, for a 22kg child, the fluid requirement would be 2200ml/day. To find the rate per hour, we divide this by 24, resulting in 91.67ml/hour. However, it is important to start rehydration slowly, so the rate is typically reduced to 65ml/hour initially.

Primi at 35 weeks of gestation with pre-eclampsia, BP is high with ankle edema, what is the best to be done ?
- Maternal-fetal monitoring with continuous hospitalization.
- Immediate delivery.
- Labetolol
- Low salt diet.
- Diuretic
Correct Answer

A. Maternal-fetal monitoring with continuous hospitalization.

Explanation

Maternal-fetal monitoring with continuous hospitalization is the best course of action in this scenario. Pre-eclampsia is a condition characterized by high blood pressure and can be dangerous for both the mother and the baby. Monitoring the mother and the fetus in a hospital setting allows for close observation of blood pressure, fetal well-being, and any signs of worsening pre-eclampsia. This approach ensures that any necessary interventions can be promptly initiated to prevent complications and ensure the best possible outcome for both the mother and the baby. Immediate delivery may be considered in severe cases, but in this case, it is not the best option as the question does not mention severe pre-eclampsia. Labetolol, low salt diet, and diuretics may be used as adjunctive measures, but they do not address the need for continuous monitoring and hospitalization.

Patient presented with constipation , to confirm has hypothyrodism ?
- TSH
- T4
- Free T4
- T3
Correct Answer

A. TSH

Explanation

TSH (thyroid-stimulating hormone) is the most appropriate test to confirm hypothyroidism in a patient presenting with constipation. TSH is produced by the pituitary gland and stimulates the thyroid gland to produce T4 (thyroxine). In hypothyroidism, the thyroid gland is underactive and does not produce enough T4, leading to symptoms such as constipation. Therefore, measuring TSH levels can help determine if the patient has hypothyroidism, as elevated TSH levels indicate an underactive thyroid. T4, free T4, and T3 levels may also be measured to further evaluate thyroid function, but TSH is the primary test for confirming hypothyroidism.

Drug abusers are at risk of contracting Hepatitis C. Hepatitis C is a viral infection that affects the liver and is commonly transmitted through the sharing of needles or other drug paraphernalia. This puts drug abusers at a higher risk of exposure to the virus. Hepatitis C can cause chronic liver disease, liver cirrhosis, and even liver cancer if left untreated. It is important for drug abusers to be aware of this risk and take necessary precautions to prevent the transmission of Hepatitis C.

60 years admitted to the hospital as end stage COPD, what will you expect in lab. Work :
- Erythrocytosis
- Low ferritin level
- Hyponatremia
- Hypokalemia
Correct Answer

A. Erythrocytosis

Explanation

In end stage COPD, the body compensates for the low oxygen levels by producing more red blood cells, leading to erythrocytosis. This is because the body tries to increase the oxygen-carrying capacity of the blood. Low ferritin levels may also be expected as a result of chronic inflammation and poor nutrition in COPD patients. Hyponatremia and hypokalemia are not typically associated with end stage COPD.

23 years old female consulted her physician because of breast mass, the mass is mobile, firm and approximately 1 cm in diameter. It is located in the upper outer quadrant of the right breast. No axillary lymph nodes are present. What is the treatment of choice for this condition?
- Watchful waiting
- Radical mastectomy
- Biopsy
- Lumpectomy
- Modified radical mastectomy
Correct Answer

A. Watchful waiting

Explanation

Watchful waiting is the appropriate treatment choice in this case because the patient is young, the mass is small and mobile, and there are no axillary lymph nodes present. These characteristics suggest a low likelihood of malignancy. Watchful waiting involves closely monitoring the mass over time to assess for any changes or growth. If there are no significant changes, further intervention may not be necessary. This approach avoids unnecessary invasive procedures and potential complications associated with surgery.

Albuterol is a short-acting bronchodilator that helps to relieve bronchospasm and improve airflow in the lungs. It is commonly used as a first-line treatment for acute asthma exacerbations. In this case, the child's symptoms suggest bronchospasm, and nebulized albuterol would provide immediate relief by opening up the airways and relieving the wheezing.
