Primary type 1 diabetes mellitus is
- A.
Insulin dependent
- B.
Non-insulin dependent
Correct Answer
A. Insulin dependentExplanation
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."Rate this question:
-
- 15.
Primary type 2 diabetes mellitus is
- A.
Insulin dependent
- B.
Non-insulin dependent
Correct Answer
B. Non-insulin dependentExplanation
Primary type 2 diabetes mellitus is non-insulin dependent because in this type of diabetes, the body is still able to produce insulin, but it either does not produce enough or the body's cells do not effectively use the insulin. This means that individuals with type 2 diabetes can manage their condition through lifestyle changes such as diet and exercise, as well as oral medications, without requiring insulin injections.Rate this question:

Hemolysis Hematoma Gilbert’s disease
- A.
Prehepatic jaundice
- B.
Hepatic jaundic
- C.
Posthepatic jaundice
Correct Answer
A. Prehepatic jaundiceExplanation
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.Rate this question:

Correct Answer
B. Urine normal colorExplanation
Unconjugated jaundice refers to a condition where there is an excess of bilirubin in the blood, which is not being properly processed by the liver. Bilirubin is responsible for the yellow color of urine, so in unconjugated jaundice, the urine would be expected to be dark or have a yellowish tint. However, the given answer states that the urine is of normal color, which contradicts the expected symptom of unconjugated jaundice. Therefore, the given answer is incorrect or incomplete.Rate this question:
-
- 22.
Conjugated jaundice
- A.
Urine dark
- B.
Urine normal color
- C.
Urine light
Correct Answer
A. Urine darkExplanation
The correct answer is "urine dark" because conjugated jaundice refers to a condition where there is an excess of bilirubin in the bloodstream. Bilirubin is a yellow pigment that is normally excreted in the bile and gives urine its normal yellow color. However, in conjugated jaundice, the liver is unable to properly process bilirubin, leading to its accumulation in the bloodstream and subsequent excretion in the urine. This results in the urine appearing dark or brownish in color.Rate this question:

E: Multifactorial disease mediated by saprophytic bacteria P: bacteria forms plaques on the teeth enamel erodes defect extends into dentin decalcification bacteria moves deeper pulpitis + inflammation of the root pain extends into root canal periapical granuloma periapical abscess osteomyelitis
- A.
Dental Caries
- B.
Periodontal disease (Periodontitis)
- C.
Stomatitis
- D.
Sialadenitis
Correct Answer
A. Dental CariesExplanation
The given explanation suggests that the correct answer is Dental Caries because the progression of the disease described in the passage matches the stages of dental caries. It starts with bacteria forming plaques on the teeth, which leads to enamel erosion and the defect extending into dentin. This is followed by decalcification, bacteria moving deeper, and inflammation of the root, causing pain. The disease then extends into the root canal, leading to periapical granuloma, periapical abscess, and potentially osteomyelitis. All these stages align with the development and progression of dental caries.Rate this question:

At beginning of disease enlarged glands later fibrosis and glands shrink
- A.
Sialadenitis
- B.
Periodontal disease (Periodontitis)
- C.
Stomatitis
Correct Answer
A. SialadenitisExplanation
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.Rate this question:
