    Primary mediator of anaphylaxis

    Correct Answer
    histamine
    Explanation
    Histamine is the primary mediator of anaphylaxis. Anaphylaxis is a severe allergic reaction that occurs when the immune system overreacts to an allergen. Histamine is released by mast cells and basophils in response to allergens, and it triggers a cascade of immune and inflammatory responses. Histamine causes blood vessels to dilate, leading to a drop in blood pressure and increased permeability of blood vessels, which can result in swelling and hives. It also stimulates the production of mucus and causes bronchoconstriction, leading to difficulty in breathing. Overall, histamine plays a crucial role in the development and progression of anaphylaxis.

    Right sided CHF result in _______ edema

    Correct Answer
    Peripheral
    Explanation
    Right sided CHF, or right-sided congestive heart failure, occurs when the right side of the heart is unable to pump blood effectively. This can lead to fluid accumulation in the body, particularly in the peripheral areas such as the legs, ankles, and feet. This type of edema is known as peripheral edema. It is caused by increased pressure in the veins and capillaries, which forces fluid out into the surrounding tissues. Peripheral edema is a common symptom of right-sided CHF and can cause swelling, discomfort, and difficulty moving.

    Rate this question:

  • 23. 

    Left sided CHF result in ________ edema

    Correct Answer
    Pulmonary
    Explanation
    Left-sided congestive heart failure (CHF) occurs when the left side of the heart is unable to pump blood effectively. This leads to a backup of blood in the lungs, causing fluid to leak into the lung tissue. This accumulation of fluid in the lungs is known as pulmonary edema. Symptoms of pulmonary edema include shortness of breath, coughing, wheezing, and difficulty breathing. Therefore, the correct answer is "Pulmonary" as left-sided CHF results in pulmonary edema.

    Rate this question:

  • 24. 

    Fat embolism occur in

    Correct Answer
    Long bone fracture
    Explanation
    Fat embolism occurs in long bone fractures because when a long bone is fractured, the fat from the bone marrow can leak into the bloodstream. This fat can then travel to other parts of the body, such as the lungs, brain, or heart, and cause blockages in the blood vessels. This can lead to serious complications, such as respiratory distress, confusion, or even organ failure. Therefore, long bone fractures are a known risk factor for fat embolism.

    Most common cause of secondary hypertension

    Correct Answer
    renal disease
    Explanation
    Renal disease is the most common cause of secondary hypertension. The kidneys play a crucial role in regulating blood pressure by controlling the balance of fluids and electrolytes in the body. When the kidneys are affected by a disease or condition, such as chronic kidney disease or renal artery stenosis, they may not be able to effectively regulate blood pressure, leading to hypertension. Additionally, certain renal conditions, like polycystic kidney disease or glomerulonephritis, can directly cause high blood pressure. Therefore, renal disease is a common underlying factor in the development of secondary hypertension.

It includes major criteria such as carditis, polyarthritis, chorea, erythema marginatum, and subcutaneous nodules, as well as minor criteria such as fever, arthralgia, elevated acute phase reactants, prolonged PR interval, and previous Rheumatic fever or Rheumatic heart disease. The diagnosis of Rheumatic fever is made when there is evidence of recent streptococcal infection along with the presence of either two major criteria or one major criterion and two minor criteria. Therefore, the Jones criteria is used to diagnose Rheumatic fever.

    Rate this question:

  • 29. 

    Cardiac enzymes elevated after MI

    Correct Answer
    CK MB TnT myoglobin
    Explanation
    Cardiac enzymes such as CK MB, TnT, and myoglobin are elevated after a myocardial infarction (MI), also known as a heart attack. These enzymes are released into the bloodstream when there is damage to the heart muscle. CK MB is an isoenzyme of creatine kinase that is specific to the heart, while TnT is a component of troponin, a protein found in heart muscle cells. Myoglobin is a protein that transports oxygen and is also released into the bloodstream after heart muscle damage. Therefore, the elevated levels of CK MB, TnT, and myoglobin indicate a recent myocardial infarction.

    Rate this question:

    Pulmonary edema caused by

    Correct Answer
    Heart failure ARDS
    Explanation
    Pulmonary edema refers to the accumulation of fluid in the lungs, which can be caused by various factors. In this case, the correct answer suggests that the cause of pulmonary edema is heart failure and acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). Heart failure occurs when the heart cannot pump blood effectively, leading to fluid backup in the lungs. ARDS, on the other hand, is a severe lung condition that can result from various causes, including infections or injuries. Both heart failure and ARDS can contribute to the development of pulmonary edema by impairing the normal functioning of the lungs and causing fluid accumulation.

    Bird beak appearance on barrium swallow

    Correct Answer(s)
    achalasia
    Explanation
    Achalasia is a disorder that affects the esophagus and causes difficulty in swallowing. It occurs when the muscles of the lower esophageal sphincter (LES) do not relax properly, leading to the narrowing of the esophagus and the accumulation of food and liquid. This can result in a bird beak appearance on a barium swallow, which is a radiographic test used to evaluate the swallowing function. The narrowing of the esophagus resembles the shape of a bird's beak, hence the term.

    Correct Answer
    C. Kidney stone
    Explanation
    Zollinger-Ellison syndrome is a rare condition characterized by the presence of a gastrin-secreting tumor in the pancreas, known as a gastrinoma. This tumor leads to excessive production of gastric acid, resulting in peptic ulcers. Therefore, peptic ulcer and increased gastric secretion are both features of Zollinger-Ellison syndrome. However, kidney stones are not associated with this syndrome. Therefore, the correct answer is kidney stone.

    C. H.pylori
    D. Cigrette
    Explanation
    The given answer lists the causes of peptic ulcers as NSAID use, hypersecretion, H. pylori infection, and cigarette smoking. Peptic ulcers can be caused by the long-term use of nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) such as aspirin or ibuprofen, which can irritate the lining of the stomach and small intestine. Hypersecretion refers to the excessive production of stomach acid, which can lead to the erosion of the stomach lining. H. pylori is a type of bacteria that can infect the stomach and cause inflammation, leading to the development of ulcers. Cigarette smoking has been shown to increase the risk of peptic ulcers by interfering with the protective mechanisms of the stomach lining.
