1. Primary type 1 diabetes mellitus is

Explanation

Primary type 1 diabetes mellitus is characterized by the destruction of insulin-producing cells in the pancreas, leading to an absolute deficiency of insulin. As a result, individuals with type 1 diabetes require exogenous insulin to regulate their blood sugar levels and prevent complications. This distinguishes it from type 2 diabetes, where the body may still produce insulin but is unable to use it effectively. Therefore, the correct answer is "insulin dependent."

2. These are all related to ascites: Reduced production of albumin—hypoalbuminemia, reduced oncotic pressure of the plasma Portal hypertension—increased transudation of fluid into the abdomen Hyperaldosteronism—sodium and water retention in the kidneys true or false

Explanation

The given statement is true. Ascites is a condition characterized by the accumulation of fluid in the abdominal cavity. The three factors mentioned in the statement are known to contribute to the development of ascites. Reduced production of albumin leads to hypoalbuminemia, which in turn reduces the oncotic pressure of the plasma. Portal hypertension, which is an increase in blood pressure within the portal vein, can cause fluid to transude into the abdomen. Hyperaldosteronism, a condition where there is excessive production of aldosterone hormone, can result in sodium and water retention in the kidneys, leading to fluid accumulation in the abdomen.

Submit
3. Benign tumors of the Thyroid: Adenoma is most common follicular adenoma

Explanation

Adenoma is indeed the most common benign tumor of the thyroid. Adenomas are non-cancerous growths that develop from the cells of the thyroid gland. Among the different types of adenomas, follicular adenoma is the most common. It arises from the follicular cells of the thyroid and is usually solitary. Although benign, follicular adenomas can sometimes cause symptoms such as swelling in the neck, difficulty swallowing, or changes in voice. They are typically diagnosed through imaging tests and a biopsy may be done to confirm the diagnosis. Treatment options may include surgery to remove the adenoma or monitoring the condition if it is not causing any significant problems.

Submit
4. Hepatocellular carcinoma is associated with Hepatitis B and C. True or False.

Explanation

P: loss of adrenal cortex due to proliferating neoplastic cells, or inflammation C: fatigue, weight loss, and nausea, hypertension and syncope. Very susceptible to infections. Cannot tolerate stress. Low levels of sodium, elevated potassium and low glucose levels.

Explanation

Adrenocortical hypofunction refers to a decrease in the function of the adrenal cortex, which leads to a clinical syndrome known as Addison's disease. This can be caused by various factors such as autoimmune diseases, tumors, tuberculosis, or amyloidosis. The loss of adrenal cortex can occur due to proliferating neoplastic cells or inflammation. The symptoms of adrenocortical hypofunction include fatigue, weight loss, nausea, hypertension, syncope, and increased susceptibility to infections. Additionally, individuals with this condition have low levels of sodium, elevated potassium, and low glucose levels.

Submit
48. This hereditary liver disease is characterized by accumulation of AAT, cirrhosis, emphysema

Explanation

Alpha1-antitrypsin deficiency is a hereditary liver disease that is characterized by the accumulation of AAT (Alpha1-antitrypsin) in the liver, leading to liver damage and cirrhosis. This condition also affects the lungs, causing emphysema. AAT is a protein that helps protect the lungs from damage by enzymes released by white blood cells. In individuals with Alpha1-antitrypsin deficiency, the liver cannot produce enough of this protein or produces a defective form, resulting in its accumulation in the liver and reduced levels in the lungs. This condition is often diagnosed in young adults and can lead to serious complications if left untreated.

Submit
49. E: infectious (bacterial from mouth -Staphylococcus, Streptococcus, viral - mumps)  or autoimmune (Sjögren's disease) P: Inflammation  Enlarged salivary glands C: Infection -> pain and enlarged gland, sialorrhea or xerostomia    Sjögren's disease presents with systemic symptoms, xerostomia and xerophthalmia. At beginning of disease enlarged glands later fibrosis and glands shrink

Explanation

Sialadenitis is the correct answer because it matches the symptoms described in the passage. The passage mentions infectious causes of enlarged salivary glands, such as bacterial infections like Staphylococcus and Streptococcus, as well as viral infections like mumps. Sialadenitis refers to inflammation of the salivary glands, which can be caused by infections. This condition can result in pain and enlarged glands, which are mentioned as symptoms in the passage. Additionally, the passage mentions autoimmune causes of enlarged salivary glands, such as Sjögren's disease, which presents with systemic symptoms and xerostomia (dry mouth), but does not match the symptoms of fibrosis and shrinking glands mentioned later in the passage.

50. Hypersecretion of cortisol due to adrenocortcical tumors

Explanation

Cushing's syndrome is a condition characterized by the excessive production of cortisol, a hormone produced by the adrenal glands. Adrenocortical tumors can cause hypersecretion of cortisol, leading to the development of Cushing's syndrome. Cushing's disease, on the other hand, refers specifically to the condition where a pituitary tumor causes the excessive production of adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH), which in turn stimulates the adrenal glands to produce cortisol. Cohn's syndrome is not a recognized medical condition and is likely a typo or error. Therefore, the correct answer is Cushing's syndrome.

51. Hemolysis Hematoma Gilbert's disease

Explanation

Prehepatic jaundice is a type of jaundice that occurs before the liver. It is typically caused by an increased breakdown of red blood cells, leading to an excess of bilirubin in the bloodstream. Conditions such as hemolysis, hematoma, and Gilbert's disease can cause prehepatic jaundice. Hemolysis refers to the destruction of red blood cells, which releases bilirubin into the bloodstream. A hematoma is a collection of blood outside of blood vessels, which can also release bilirubin. Gilbert's disease is a genetic condition that affects the liver's ability to process bilirubin. In all these cases, the excess bilirubin in the bloodstream causes the yellowing of the skin and eyes characteristic of jaundice.

100. Due to ACTH production by pituitary adenoma  hyperplasia of adrenal cortex  increased secretion of cortisol

Explanation

Cushing's disease is the correct answer because it is a condition caused by a pituitary adenoma, which leads to excessive production of adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH). This hormone stimulates the adrenal cortex to produce and release excessive amounts of cortisol, resulting in hyperplasia of the adrenal cortex and increased secretion of cortisol. Cushing's syndrome refers to a group of symptoms caused by high levels of cortisol in the body, while Cohn's Syndrome does not exist, making it an incorrect option.

101. This liver related immune disorder occurs in men younger than 40 years; associated with ulcerative colitis (no specific antibodies)

Explanation

Primary sclerosing cholangitis is a liver-related immune disorder that primarily affects men under the age of 40. It is often associated with ulcerative colitis, but there are no specific antibodies associated with this condition. This explanation highlights the key characteristics of primary sclerosing cholangitis and distinguishes it from the other two options, autoimmune hepatitis and primary biliary cirrhosis.

102. I: 30-50, T and C as HBV (Goes together with HBV and makes symptoms worse)

Explanation

Hepatitis D is the correct answer because it is the only option that goes together with HBV and makes symptoms worse. Hepatitis D is a viral infection that can only occur in individuals who are already infected with Hepatitis B. It is considered the most severe form of viral hepatitis and can lead to a more rapid progression of liver disease.

104. Pathology: An autodigestion disease. Edema, hemorrhage, necrosis Fat necrosis, calcifications, hypocalcemia Clinic: Pain that radiates to back, nausea, vomiting, jaundice and fever. Ascites, sterile peritonitis Shock Massive necrosis—pseudocyst Abscess formation Chronic pancreatitis Diabetes mellitus

Explanation

Acute pancreatitis is the correct answer because the given symptoms and findings are characteristic of this condition. Acute pancreatitis is an inflammation of the pancreas that can be caused by factors such as gallstones or alcohol abuse. The symptoms mentioned, such as pain radiating to the back, nausea, vomiting, and fever, are commonly seen in acute pancreatitis. Additionally, the presence of edema, hemorrhage, and necrosis in the pathology findings further support the diagnosis.

105. This malignant tumor of the thyroid is 80% of all cases, hormonally inactive, tends to metastasise to local lymph nodes, good prognosis

Explanation

Papillary carcinoma is the correct answer because it fits all the given criteria. It is a malignant tumor of the thyroid that accounts for 80% of all cases. It is hormonally inactive and has a tendency to metastasize to local lymph nodes. Despite being malignant, it has a good prognosis, which means that the chances of successful treatment and recovery are high.

Submit
106. This liver related immune disorder occurs in middle-aged women; chronic jaundice, hypercholesterolemia (antibodies in serum—AMA)

Explanation

Primary biliary cirrhosis is a liver-related immune disorder that typically affects middle-aged women. It is characterized by chronic jaundice and hypercholesterolemia. One of the key diagnostic features of primary biliary cirrhosis is the presence of antibodies in the serum known as antimitochondrial antibodies (AMA). These antibodies target the mitochondria in the liver cells, leading to inflammation and damage to the bile ducts. Over time, this can progress to cirrhosis, which is irreversible scarring of the liver tissue. Therefore, primary biliary cirrhosis is the most appropriate explanation for the given symptoms and diagnostic marker.

Submit
107. A stomach disease, with or without intestinal metaplasia E: Helicobacter pylori related, Autoimmune (with pernicious anemia), NSAIDs P: Inflammation C: asymptomatic or nonspecific abdominal complaints

Explanation

Chronic atrophic gastritis is the correct answer because it fits the given information. Chronic atrophic gastritis is a stomach disease that can occur with or without intestinal metaplasia. It can be related to Helicobacter pylori infection, autoimmune conditions like pernicious anemia, or the use of NSAIDs. It is characterized by inflammation of the stomach lining and can be asymptomatic or present with nonspecific abdominal complaints.

108. What are the clinical manifestations of Pituitary hypothyroidism?

Explanation

The clinical manifestations of Pituitary hypothyroidism include lethargy, intolerance to cold, sluggishness, thick skin, bradycardia, and low temperature. These symptoms are indicative of a decreased thyroid hormone production, leading to a slowed metabolism and reduced body temperature regulation.

Submit
109. In 95% of all cases, tumors are: Exocrine rather than endocrine Derived from ducts rather than acini or islets Solid rather than cystic Malignant rather than benign Functionally silent rather than hormonally active

Explanation

In 95% of all cases, tumors are pancreatic neoplasms. This means that the tumors originate in the pancreas. Pancreatic neoplasms can be either exocrine or endocrine, but in this case, they are more likely to be exocrine. They are derived from ducts rather than acini or islets, which are other structures within the pancreas. Pancreatic neoplasms are solid rather than cystic, meaning they form solid masses rather than fluid-filled sacs. They are also more likely to be malignant (cancerous) rather than benign. Finally, pancreatic neoplasms are functionally silent rather than hormonally active, meaning they do not produce hormones.

Submit
110. Etiology: Chronic alcoholism (70%) Trauma Systemic metabolic or endocrine disease Unknown (20%)

Explanation

The given answer, chronic pancreatitis, is supported by the etiology provided. Chronic alcoholism is listed as the primary cause of chronic pancreatitis, accounting for 70% of cases. This suggests that long-term alcohol abuse can lead to inflammation and damage to the pancreas, resulting in chronic pancreatitis. Therefore, chronic pancreatitis is a plausible explanation based on the information given.
