What is the etiology of heart failure?
- A.
Cardiac disorders, lung disorders
- B.
Lung disorders, stroke
- C.
Stroke, diarrhea
- D.
Influenza, enuresis
Correct Answer
A. Cardiac disorders, lung disordersExplanation
Heart failure occurs when the heart is unable to pump enough blood to meet the body's needs. Cardiac disorders, such as coronary artery disease or heart attack, can damage the heart muscle and lead to heart failure. Similarly, lung disorders like chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) or pulmonary hypertension can cause increased pressure in the lungs, putting strain on the heart and leading to heart failure. Therefore, the etiology of heart failure involves both cardiac disorders and lung disorders.Rate this question:

- B.
Regurgitation flow, gastritis, volvulus, esophagitis,
- C.
Coronary arteries, ventricles, veins
- D.
Carcinoma of the gallbladder, adenomas, carcinomas
Correct Answer
A. Failure of the pump, conduction problems, an obstruction to flow, regurgitation flowExplanation
Cardiac dysfunction refers to a condition where the heart is unable to effectively pump blood and perform its normal functions. This can occur due to various reasons such as failure of the pump, conduction problems, an obstruction to flow, and regurgitation flow. Failure of the pump refers to the inability of the heart to pump blood adequately, conduction problems involve issues with the electrical signals that control the heart's rhythm, an obstruction to flow can occur when there is a blockage in the blood vessels, and regurgitation flow happens when blood leaks backward through the heart valves.Rate this question:

Pulmonary edema is consequence of
- A.
LHF
- B.
RHF
- C.
LHF and RHF
- D.
Angina pectoris
Correct Answer
A. LHFExplanation
Pulmonary edema is a condition characterized by the accumulation of fluid in the lungs, leading to difficulty in breathing. It occurs as a consequence of Left Heart Failure (LHF). LHF is a condition in which the left side of the heart is unable to pump blood effectively, causing a backup of fluid in the lungs. This fluid accumulation leads to pulmonary edema. Right Heart Failure (RHF) can also cause fluid accumulation, but in this case, it primarily affects other parts of the body rather than the lungs. Angina pectoris, on the other hand, is chest pain caused by reduced blood flow to the heart and is not directly related to pulmonary edema.Rate this question:

Systemic venous congestion is consequence of
- A.
LHF
- B.
RHF
- C.
RHF and LHF
- D.
Atherosclerosis
Correct Answer
B. RHFExplanation
Systemic venous congestion is a consequence of right-sided heart failure (RHF). When the right side of the heart is unable to pump blood effectively, it can lead to a buildup of blood in the systemic veins, causing congestion. This can result in symptoms such as peripheral edema, jugular venous distention, and hepatomegaly. Left-sided heart failure (LHF) can also cause congestion, but in this case, the correct answer specifically states that RHF is the cause. Atherosclerosis, on the other hand, is a condition that involves the buildup of plaque in the arteries and does not directly cause systemic venous congestion.Rate this question:

Coronary arthery disease CAD etiology
- A.
Atherosclerosis
- B.
Angina pectoris
- C.
Chest pain
- D.
Smoking
Correct Answer
A. AtherosclerosisExplanation
Atherosclerosis is the correct answer because it is a leading cause of coronary artery disease (CAD). CAD occurs when the arteries that supply blood to the heart become narrowed or blocked due to the buildup of plaque, which is primarily made up of cholesterol and other substances. This narrowing of the arteries can lead to reduced blood flow to the heart, resulting in symptoms such as angina pectoris (chest pain). Smoking is also a risk factor for developing atherosclerosis and CAD, further supporting the association between atherosclerosis and CAD.Rate this question:

Most common cause of death in person with MI
- A.
Thrombosis
- B.
Pericarditis
- C.
Arrhythmia
- D.
Hemmorrhage
Correct Answer
C. ArrhythmiaExplanation
Arrhythmia refers to an abnormal heart rhythm, which can be a common cause of death in a person with a myocardial infarction (MI). During an MI, the blood flow to a part of the heart is blocked, leading to damage or death of heart muscle cells. This can disrupt the normal electrical signals that control the heart's rhythm, resulting in arrhythmias. Severe arrhythmias, such as ventricular fibrillation, can cause the heart to stop pumping blood effectively, leading to cardiac arrest and potentially death. Therefore, arrhythmia is a likely cause of death in a person with MI.Rate this question:

What is the treatment for essential hypertension?
- A.
Sedatives
- B.
Surgery
- C.
Drugs
- D.
Discontinue drug intake
Correct Answer
C. DrugsExplanation
The correct answer is drugs. Essential hypertension is a chronic condition characterized by high blood pressure with no identifiable cause. It is typically managed through the use of antihypertensive medications, which help to lower blood pressure and reduce the risk of complications. Sedatives may not be effective in treating hypertension as they primarily target anxiety and sleep disorders. Surgery is usually reserved for cases where hypertension is caused by an underlying condition that can be surgically corrected. Discontinuing drug intake is not a recommended treatment option as it can lead to uncontrolled high blood pressure and increased risk of complications.Rate this question:

- A.
Dilated cardiomyopathy
- B.
Restrictive cardiomyopathy
- C.
Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy
- D.
Iatronic cardiomyopathy
Correct Answer
B. Restrictive cardiomyopathyExplanation
Restrictive cardiomyopathy is a condition where the heart muscle becomes stiff and rigid, which restricts its ability to expand and receive blood properly. This results in inadequate expansion of the heart to accommodate the inflowing blood. Dilated cardiomyopathy is characterized by an enlarged and weakened heart, hypertrophic cardiomyopathy is characterized by thickening of the heart muscle, and iatrogenic cardiomyopathy refers to heart muscle damage caused by medical treatments or procedures. None of these conditions specifically explain the inability of the heart to expand adequately, making restrictive cardiomyopathy the correct answer.Rate this question:

Autoantibodies against tsh receptors are found in which one of these conditions?
- A.
Grave's disease
- B.
Atheroma
- C.
Suppurative thyroiditis
- D.
Cardiomyopathy
Correct Answer
A. Grave's diseaseExplanation
In Grave's disease, autoantibodies against TSH receptors are found. This is an autoimmune disorder where the immune system mistakenly targets the thyroid gland, causing it to produce excessive amounts of thyroid hormone. These autoantibodies bind to the TSH receptors on the thyroid gland, stimulating it to produce more thyroid hormone. This leads to symptoms such as hyperthyroidism, goiter, and eye problems. Atheroma, suppurative thyroiditis, and cardiomyopathy are not associated with the presence of autoantibodies against TSH receptors.Rate this question:

The fist cause of hypertension is:
- A.
Essential
- B.
Drugs
- C.
Kidney
- D.
Endocrine
Correct Answer
A. EssentialExplanation
Essential hypertension refers to high blood pressure with no identifiable cause. It is the most common type of hypertension, accounting for about 90-95% of cases. Unlike secondary hypertension, which can be attributed to specific underlying conditions such as kidney disease or hormonal disorders, essential hypertension develops gradually over time and is influenced by various factors including genetics, lifestyle, and diet. Therefore, the correct answer is "essential" as it accurately represents the primary cause of hypertension in the majority of cases.Rate this question:

Cardiomegaly, is a consequence of:
- A.
Septal hypertrophy,
- B.
Hypertensive stroke
- C.
Vascular pathology
- D.
Accelerated atherosclerosis
Correct Answer
A. Septal hypertrophy,Explanation
Cardiomegaly refers to an enlarged heart, and septal hypertrophy is a condition characterized by thickening of the septum, the wall that separates the chambers of the heart. This thickening can lead to an increase in the size of the heart, resulting in cardiomegaly. The other options, hypertensive stroke, vascular pathology, and accelerated atherosclerosis, may be associated with cardiovascular issues, but they are not directly linked to the enlargement of the heart.Rate this question:

Leukemia and amyloidosis are examples of:
- A.
Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy
- B.
Restrictive cardiomyopathy
- C.
Dilated cardiomyopathy
- D.
Tumors
Correct Answer
B. Restrictive cardiomyopathyExplanation
Leukemia and amyloidosis are not examples of hypertrophic cardiomyopathy or dilated cardiomyopathy, which are conditions characterized by abnormal thickening or enlargement of the heart muscle. Instead, they are both examples of restrictive cardiomyopathy, a condition where the heart muscle becomes stiff and rigid, impairing its ability to relax and fill with blood properly. Leukemia is a type of cancer that affects the blood and bone marrow, while amyloidosis is a disease where abnormal proteins build up in organs and tissues, including the heart. Both conditions can lead to restrictive cardiomyopathy and affect the heart's function.Rate this question:

Which one of these terms indicated fluid high in protein and low in cells?
- A.
Serous
- B.
Catarrhal
- C.
Suppurative
- D.
Membranous
Correct Answer
A. SerousExplanation
Serous fluid is a term used to describe a fluid that is high in protein and low in cells. It is a clear, watery fluid that is typically found in body cavities such as the pleural, pericardial, and peritoneal cavities. This type of fluid is often associated with conditions such as inflammation or infection, where there is an increase in protein content but a decrease in the number of cells present. Therefore, the term "serous" accurately describes a fluid that is high in protein and low in cells.Rate this question:

Which one of these is chemoatractan?
- A.
Prostoglandin
- B.
Histamine
- C.
Bradykidin
- D.
C5a
Correct Answer
D. C5aExplanation
C5a is a chemoattractant. It is a small protein fragment released during inflammation and immune responses. It attracts and activates immune cells, such as neutrophils and macrophages, to the site of infection or injury. This recruitment of immune cells helps in the elimination of pathogens and promotes tissue repair. Prostaglandin, histamine, and bradykinin are also involved in inflammation, but they do not have the specific chemoattractant properties of C5a.Rate this question:

61 y/o woman with enlarge breast mass, 3 cm mass in the right upper quadrant. Biopsy reveals complete loss of cell differentiation and lack of tissue organization. what they found?
- A.
Metaplasia
- B.
Anaplasia
- C.
HYPERPLESIA
- D.
DYSPLACIA
Correct Answer
B. AnaplasiaExplanation
The correct answer is anaplasia. Anaplasia refers to the loss of normal cell differentiation and tissue organization. In this case, the biopsy revealed complete loss of cell differentiation and lack of tissue organization in the breast mass. This suggests that the cells in the mass have become undifferentiated and are growing in a disorganized manner, which is characteristic of anaplasia.Rate this question:

WHICH ONE OF THESE IS CAUSE OF TYPE II HYPERSENSITIVE REACTION?
- A.
ANTIBODY PRODUCTION AGAINS SELF ANTIGEN
- B.
COMPLEMENT DEPOSITION
- C.
CELL MEDIATED
- D.
CHEMICAL MEDIATED
Correct Answer
A. ANTIBODY PRODUCTION AGAINS SELF ANTIGENExplanation
In a type II hypersensitive reaction, the cause is antibody production against self-antigens. This means that the body's immune system mistakenly produces antibodies that target its own cells or tissues. These antibodies bind to the self-antigens, leading to the activation of the complement system and subsequent destruction of the affected cells. This immune response against self-antigens is characteristic of autoimmune diseases, where the immune system mistakenly attacks the body's own tissues.Rate this question:
