    Most common site of hypertensive intracranial hemorrhage is

    • Putamen

    • Midbrain

    • Medulla

    • 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.

    The confirmatory test for blood is

    • Benzidine test

    • Luminol test

    Correct Answer
    A. 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.

    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.

    • Leiomyosarcoma

    • Scleroderma

    • Amyloidosis

    • Linitis plastica

    Correct Answer
    A. Amyloidosis
    Explanation
    Thickened gastric folds on a barium meal are a characteristic finding in amyloidosis. Amyloidosis is a condition where abnormal protein deposits called amyloid build up in various organs, including the stomach. 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.
