The confirmatory test for blood is
- A.
  
  Benzidine test
- B.
  
  Luminol test
- C.
  
  Leucomalachite green test
- D.
  
  Teichmann test
Correct Answer
D. Teichmann test

Explanation
The Teichmann test is a confirmatory test for blood. It involves mixing a sample of blood with glacial acetic acid and adding a small crystal of sodium chloride. The mixture is then heated gently, and if blood is present, hematin crystals will form. These crystals can be observed under a microscope, confirming the presence of blood. The Benzidine test, Luminol test, and Leucomalachite green test are also used to detect blood, but the Teichmann test is specifically a confirmatory test.

In case of death due to starvation, at autopsy, the condition of the gall bladder will be
- A.
  
  Distended with inspissated bile
- B.
  
  Empty
- C.
  
  Filled with mucus
- D.
  
  Filled with purulent fluid
Correct Answer
A. Distended with inspissated bile

Explanation
In cases of death due to starvation, the gall bladder is likely to be distended with inspissated bile. Starvation leads to a lack of food intake, which in turn reduces the production of bile by the liver. As a result, the bile accumulates in the gall bladder, causing it to become distended. The bile may also become thick and concentrated (inspissated) due to the lack of food and hydration. This condition can be observed during an autopsy as a characteristic feature in cases of death caused by starvation.

Most common site of hypertensive intracranial hemorrhage is
- A.
  
  Putamen
- B.
  
  Midbrain
- C.
  
  Medulla
- D.
  
  Cerebrum
Correct Answer
A. Putamen

Explanation
The putamen is the most common site of hypertensive intracranial hemorrhage. This is because the putamen is a part of the basal ganglia, which is highly susceptible to damage from high blood pressure. Hypertensive intracranial hemorrhage occurs when there is a rupture of a blood vessel in the brain due to high blood pressure, leading to bleeding and damage in the affected area. The putamen is particularly vulnerable to this type of hemorrhage due to its rich blood supply and high metabolic demands.

Radiological features of progressive pulmonary TB include A/E
- A.
  
  Cavitating disease
- B.
  
  Pulmonary nodules
- C.
  
  Lobar collapse
- D.
  
  Bronchopneumonia
Correct Answer
B. Pulmonary nodules

Explanation
The radiological features of progressive pulmonary TB typically include cavitating disease, lobar collapse, and bronchopneumonia. However, the presence of pulmonary nodules is not commonly associated with progressive pulmonary TB. Pulmonary nodules are more commonly seen in other lung conditions such as lung cancer or fungal infections. Therefore, the correct answer is pulmonary nodules.

Briquet's syndrome, also known as somatization disorder, is a condition characterized by the presence of multiple somatic symptoms. Individuals with this disorder experience a variety of physical symptoms, such as pain, gastrointestinal problems, and neurological symptoms, without any identifiable medical cause.

Correct Answer

This can lead to the thickening of the gastric folds, which can be visualized on a barium meal study. Leiomyosarcoma is a type of cancer that arises from smooth muscle cells, Scleroderma is a connective tissue disease that primarily affects the skin, and Linitis plastica is a subtype of stomach cancer characterized by thickening and rigidity of the stomach wall. None of these conditions are specifically associated with thickened gastric folds on a barium meal.
