While comparing pain score reduction of Anafortan with Dicyclomine, "VAS" stands for
- A.
Visual Analysis Scale
- B.
Visual Analogue Scale
- C.
Visual Analogue Score
- D.
Visual Activity Score

In smooth muscle cells, "Cytosolic Calcium" levels are reduced due to
- A.
Anti Cholinergic Action
- B.
Peripheral Action
- C.
Both the options
- D.
None of the options
Correct Answer
B. PeripHeral ActionExplanation
Smooth muscle cells are regulated by the level of cytosolic calcium, which plays a crucial role in muscle contraction. In this case, the correct answer is "Peripheral Action." This means that the reduction in cytosolic calcium levels is due to actions occurring outside of the cell. Peripheral actions can include factors such as the release of neurotransmitters or hormones, which can inhibit calcium influx into the cell or enhance calcium efflux. By reducing cytosolic calcium levels, peripheral actions ultimately lead to relaxation of smooth muscle cells.Rate this question:

Beta Lactamase is released by
- A.
Beta Lactum antibiotic
- B.
Bacteria
- C.
Beta Lactamase Inhibitor
- D.
None of the options
Correct Answer
B. BacteriaExplanation
Beta lactamase is an enzyme that is released by bacteria. This enzyme is capable of breaking down beta lactam antibiotics, which are a class of antibiotics that include penicillins and cephalosporins. Bacteria produce beta lactamase as a defense mechanism to protect themselves from the effects of these antibiotics. When beta lactamase is released, it inactivates the antibiotics by breaking down their beta lactam ring structure, rendering them ineffective against the bacteria. Therefore, the correct answer is bacteria.Rate this question:

Active phase of labor is termed when the cervix is dilated by
- A.
5 cm
- B.
4 mm
- C.
3 cm
- D.
3 mm
Correct Answer
C. 3 cmExplanation
The active phase of labor is defined as the period when the cervix is dilated by at least 3 cm. This is an important milestone as it indicates that labor is progressing and the baby is descending further into the birth canal. The cervix needs to reach a certain level of dilation for the baby to be able to pass through during delivery. Once the cervix is dilated by 3 cm, contractions become stronger and more regular, helping to further open the cervix and facilitate the birth process.Rate this question:
