Nerves of Branchial arch derived from:
A> Mesoderm
B> Endoderm
C> Neural crest
D> Neuroectoderm

--- Content provided by FirstRanker.com ---

Answer - C
Explanation - Branchial or pharyngeal arches are masses of mesoderm covered by ectoderm and lined by
endoderm. Within these masses, muscular and skeletal components develop, as well as aortic arches and
nerve networks. The arches are separated by grooves, visible on the surface of the embryo as pharyngeal
clefts and in the interior as the pharyngeal pouches

--- Content provided by FirstRanker.com ---

In the human embryo, the arches are first seen during the 4th week of development.
They appear as a series of outpouchings of mesoderm on both sides of developing pharynx.

---

The neural crest are bilaterally paired strips of cells arising in the ectoderm at the margins of the neural
tube. These cells migrate to many different locations and differentiate into many cell types within the

embryo.
Neural Crest Derivatives
A key feature of neural crest is the migration into other embryonic tissues to form specific neural and non-
neural populations and structures.
Cranial neural crest

--- Content provided by FirstRanker.com ---

migration - dorsolaterally and into pharyngeal arches
craniofacial mesenchyme - cartilage, bone, cranial neurons, glia, and connective tissues of the face
pharyngeal arches and pouches - thymic cells, tooth odontoblasts, middle ear bones (ossicles), stria
vascularis cells, and jaw (mandible)
In the body region, neural crest cells also contribute the peripheral nervous system (both neurons and glia)

--- Content provided by FirstRanker.com ---

consisting of sensory ganglia (dorsal root ganglia), sympathetic and parasympathetic ganglia and neural
plexuses within specific tissues/organs.
In the head region, neural crest cells migrate into the pharyngeal arches forming ectomesenchyme

Answer-A
Explanation:
Orbital floor fracture, also known as "blowout" fracture of the orbit.
Blow out fracture of orbit involves:

--- Content provided by FirstRanker.com ---

1. Fractures of the orbital floor are common: it is estimated that about 10% of all facial fractures
are isolated orbital wall fractures (the majority of these being the orbital floor), and that 30-40%
of all facial fractures involve the orbit.
2. The anatomy of the orbital floor predisposes it to fracture.
3. The inferior orbital neurovascular bundle (comprising the infraorbital nerve and artery) courses

--- Content provided by FirstRanker.com ---

within the bony floor of the orbit; the roof of this infraorbital canal is only 0.23mm thick, and
the bone of the posterior medial orbital floor averages 0.37 mm thick.
4. By contrast, the bone of the lateral portion of the orbital floor averages 1.25 mm thick, over 5
times the thickness of the bone over the neurovascular bundle. As one might suspect, it is this
very thin area of the orbital floor overlying the neurovascular bundle where isolated orbital

--- Content provided by FirstRanker.com ---

A> Mapleson A
B>Mapleson B
C> Mapleson C
D> Mapleson D

--- Content provided by FirstRanker.com ---

Answer: Option A - Mapleson A
Explanation:
MAPLESON A - (Magill) CIRCUIT
Useful in spontaneous ventilation
The patient inspires whatever is in the tube, using the bag as a volume reservoir.

--- Content provided by FirstRanker.com ---

On eated tube and incoming fresh gas. When the bag is full, exhaled alveolar gas is vented
frxpiration, the bag refills from a combination of expired gas going back up the corrugom
the exhale valve, and then during any expiratory pause, FGF pushes the remaining alveolar
gas out.
Theoretically FGF = 0.7 x Valv should prevent significant rebreathing because deadspace gas

--- Content provided by FirstRanker.com ---

(fresh) is not wasted, but FGF = VA more reliably prevents rebreathing.
Tube volume must exceed (Vt-Vd) or alveolar gas could contaminate the bag.
Inadequate FGF causes rebreathing . Difficult to detect from the CO2 waveform alone - all
that happens is that the rapid fall on inspiration is delayed. If VA exceeds tubing volume,
CO2 enters the bag and will be seen on inspiration on the capnogram.

--- Content provided by FirstRanker.com ---

Controlled ventilation
If the anaesthetist fully closed the valve while squeezing the bag and didn't open it until just
before the bag filled, this circuit would be OK. More commonly the valve is partially closed -
enough to permit adequate tidal volumes despite parallel loss of gas out the valve. FGF must
be increased to compensate for gas lost during inspiration - typically 2.5x minute ventilation.

A co-axial Magill, with the expiratory valve brought coaxially back to the Fresh Gas outlet.
Not popular due to inefficiency during controlled ventilation.

A> Ascending Aortic dissection
B> Descending Aortic dissection

--- Content provided by FirstRanker.com ---

C> Aortic aneurysm
D> Cystic fibrosis

Answer B
Explanation:

--- Content provided by FirstRanker.com ---

Aortic dissection (AD) occurs when an injury to the innermost layer of the aorta allows blood to flow
between the layers of the aortic wall, forcing the layers apart.
The diagnosis of aortic dissection is based on clinical suspicion combined with imaging studies. Chest x-ray
will sometimes show a "widened mediastinum". This occurs because the enlarged aorta casts a larger
shadow on the x-ray detector. If this is seen, and there is a high clinical suspicion of a dissection, a CT scan

--- Content provided by FirstRanker.com ---

of the chest with intravenous contrast is ordered (see image).
The CT scan will show the true and false lumens associated with dissection.

--- Content provided by FirstRanker.com ---

A> Superior mesenteric artery
B> Subclavian artery
C> Celiac artery
D> Brachiocephalic artery
Answer ? A

--- Content provided by FirstRanker.com ---

Explanation:
The superior mesenteric artery (SMA) is a major artery of the abdomen. It arises from the abdominal aorta,
and supplies arterial blood to the organs of the midgut ? which spans from the major duodenal papilla (of
the duodenum) to the proximal 2/3 of the transverse colon.
Anatomical Position

--- Content provided by FirstRanker.com ---

The superior mesenteric artery is the second of the three major anterior branches of the abdominal aorta
(the other two are the coeliac trunk and inferior mesenteric artery). It arises anteriorly from the abdominal
aorta at the level of the L1 vertebrae, immediately inferior to the origin of the coeliac trunk.
After arising from the abdominal aorta, the superior mesenteric artery descends down the posterior aspect
of the abdomen. At this point, it has several important anatomical relations:

--- Content provided by FirstRanker.com ---

Anterior to the SMA ? pyloric part of the stomach, splenic vein and neck of the pancreas.
Posterior to the SMA ? left renal vein, uncinate process of the pancreas and inferior part of the
duodenum.
The uncinate process is the only part of the pancreas that hooks around the back of the
SMA.

--- Content provided by FirstRanker.com ---

Major Branches
The superior mesenteric artery then gives rise to various branches that supply the small
intestines, cecum, ascending and part of the transverse colon (fig).

--- Content provided by FirstRanker.com ---

A. Uterine Fibroid
B. Bladder Carcinoma
C. Bladder stone
D. Renal Tuberculosis
Ans. C. Bladder stone

--- Content provided by FirstRanker.com ---

Explanation:
Multiple bladder calculi. Four oval radiopaque bladder stones are visible centrally in the pelvis. Most
bladder calculi are round or oval, but they may also be amorphous, laminated, or even spiculated.
Bladder stones are small mineral deposits that can form in the bladder. In most cases bladder stones
develop when the urine becomes very concentrated or when one is dehydrated.

--- Content provided by FirstRanker.com ---

This allows for minerals, such as calcium or magnesium salts, to crystallize and form stones.
In some cases bladder stones do not cause any symptoms and are discovered as an incidental finding on a
plain radiograph.
Bladder stones vary in their size, shape and texture- some are small, hard and smooth whereas others are
huge, spiked and very soft. One can have one or multiple stones. Bladder stones are somewhat more

--- Content provided by FirstRanker.com ---

common in men who have prostate enlargement. The large prostate presses on the urethra and makes it
difficult to pass urine. Over time, stagnant urine collects in the bladder and minerals like calcium start to
precipitate.
Radiography
The initial imaging study of choice is plain radiography of the kidneys, ureters, and bladder (KUB), which is

--- Content provided by FirstRanker.com ---

the least expensive and easiest radiologic test to obtain. Pure uric acid and ammonium urate stones are
radiolucent but may be coated with a layer of opaque calcium sediment. Laminations are common, with
the layers stratified according to metabolic and infectious status and the degree of periodic hematuria (see
the images below).

Question 269
Which of the following is true about vitamin K?

--- Content provided by FirstRanker.com ---

A> anticoagulant
B> Prolong use of antimicrobial leads to deficiency
C> dietary allowance is 15-20 mg
D> all of the above

--- Content provided by FirstRanker.com ---

Ans. Prolong use of antimicrobial leads to deficiency
Explanation:
Certain people are at increased risk if they:
take coumarin anticoagulants such as warfarin, which thins the blood
are taking antibiotics

--- Content provided by FirstRanker.com ---

have a condition that causes the body to not absorb fat properly (fat malabsorption)
have a diet that is extremely lacking in vitamin K
Vitamin K is a group of structurally similar, fat-soluble vitamins the human body requires for complete
synthesis of certain proteins that are prerequisites for blood coagulation and which the body also needs for
controlling binding of calcium in bones and other tissues

--- Content provided by FirstRanker.com ---

The body needs vitamin K to produce prothrombin, a protein and clotting factor that is important in blood
clotting and bone metabolism.
Without vitamin K, blood coagulation is seriously impaired, and uncontrolled bleeding occurs. Preliminary
clinical research indicates that deficiency of vitamin K may weaken bones, potentially leading to
osteoporosis, and may promote calcification of arteries and other soft tissues

--- Content provided by FirstRanker.com ---

Dietary allowance for adults per day- 50-100 mg.
Question 270

Explanation:
Risk Factors for Lymphoma of the Skin

--- Content provided by FirstRanker.com ---

Age Age is an important risk factor for this disease, with most cases occurring in people in their 50s and
60s. But some types of skin lymphoma can appear in younger people, even in children.
Gender and race Most (but not all) types of skin lymphoma are more common in men than in women.
Most also tend to be more common in African-Americans than in whites. The reasons for this are not
known.

--- Content provided by FirstRanker.com ---

Weakened immune systemSkin lymphomas may be more common in people with acquired
immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS), who have a weakened immune system. They may also be more
common in people who have had an organ transplant such as a heart, kidney or liver transplant. These
people must take drugs that suppress their immune system, which may raise the risk of skin lymphoma (or
lymphomas in other parts of the body).

--- Content provided by FirstRanker.com ---

A>Serum levels of factor VIII are decreased.
B>Deficiency of factor IX
C>PT increased
D>FIT decreased

--- Content provided by FirstRanker.com ---

Answer: A
Explanation
Hemophilia is an X linked disorder of coagulation caused by the deficiency in a circulating plasma
protein. Hemophilia A is caused by the deficiency of factor VIII, and hemophilia B is caused by the

--- Content provided by FirstRanker.com ---

deficiency of factor IX.
It is PTT which is affected (increased) and not PT (unaffected).
Factor VIII is involved in the intrinsic pathway which is measured by PTT and not in extrinsic
pathway which is measured as PT.
Bleeding is the common manifestation of hemophilia and the common bleeding manifestations are

--- Content provided by FirstRanker.com ---

hemarthoses, hematomas, mucocutaneous bleeding, intracranial bleeding, hematuria and
pseudotumor.
Question 277
Marked bleeding is seen in which of following conditions?

--- Content provided by FirstRanker.com ---

A>VMA disease
B>Haemophilia A
C>Haemophilia B
D>ALL
Answer: D

--- Content provided by FirstRanker.com ---

Explanation
Bleeding disorders can be inherited or acquired. Inherited disorders are passed down through genetics.
Acquired disorders can develop or spontaneously occur later in life. Some bleeding disorders can result in
severe bleeding following an accident or injury. In other disorders, heavy bleeding can happen suddenly
and for no reason.

--- Content provided by FirstRanker.com ---

There are numerous different bleeding disorders, but the following are the most common ones:
Hemophilia A and B are conditions that occur when there are low levels of clotting factors in your blood. It
causes heavy or unusual bleeding into the joints. Though hemophilia is rare, it can have life-threatening
complications.
Factor II, V, VII, X, or XII deficiencies are bleeding disorders related to blood clotting problems or abnormal

--- Content provided by FirstRanker.com ---

bleeding problems.

---

von Willebrand's disease is the most common inherited bleeding disorder. It develops when the blood
lacks von Willebrand factor, which helps the blood to clot.
Question 278

--- Content provided by FirstRanker.com ---

Reed sternberg cells are found in

A>Hodgkin's disease
B>Sickle cell anaemia
C> Thalassemia

--- Content provided by FirstRanker.com ---

D>CML

Answer: A
Explanation:
Reed-Sternberg cells

--- Content provided by FirstRanker.com ---

They are usually derived from B lymphocytes, classically considered crippled germinal center B cells.
Seen against a sea of B cells, they give the tissue a moth-eaten appearance.
They are named after Dorothy Reed Mendenhall and Carl Sternberg, who provided the first
definitive microscopic descriptions of Hodgkin's disease.
Reed-Sternberg cells are large and are either multinucleated or have a bibbed nucleus (thus

--- Content provided by FirstRanker.com ---

resembling an "owl's eye" appearance) with prominent eosinophilic inclusion-like nucleoli.
Reed-Sternberg cells are CD30 and CD15 positive, usually negative for CD20 and CD45.
The presence of these cells is necessary in the diagnosis of Hodgkin's lymphoma - the absence of
Reed-Sternberg cells has very high negative predictive value.
They can also be found in reactive lymphadenopathy (such as infectious mononucleosis,

--- Content provided by FirstRanker.com ---

carbamazepine associated lymphadenopathy) and very often in other types of non-Hodgkin
lymphomas.
A special type of Reed-Sternberg cells is the lacunar histiocyte, whose cytoplasm retracts when
fixed in formalin, so the nuclei give the appearance of cells that lie with empty spaces (called
lacunae) between them.

--- Content provided by FirstRanker.com ---

These are characteristic of the nodular sclerosis subtype of Hodgkin's lymphoma
Question 279

Sudden-onset dyspnea
Tachypnea

---

--- Content provided by FirstRanker.com ---

Chest pain of a "pleuritic" nature (worsened by breathing)
Cough
Hemoptysis
More severe cases can include signs such as cyanosis, collapse, and circulatory instability.
On physical examination, a pleural rub may be audible by stethoscope over affected areas of the lung.

--- Content provided by FirstRanker.com ---

Strain on the right ventricle may be detected as a left parasternal heave, a loud pulmonary component of
the second heart sound, raised jugular venous pressure, and more rarely leg swelling.
The gold standard for diagnosing pulmonary embolism (PE) is pulmonary angiography. Pulmonary
angiography is used less often due to wider acceptance of CT scans, which are non-invasive.

Phenylketonuria is due to deficiency of:

A> Phenylalanine
B>Phenylalanine hydroxylase ( PAH)
C> Phenylene

--- Content provided by FirstRanker.com ---

D> All of these
Answer B
Explanation: A birth defect that causes an amino acid called phenylalanine to build up in the body.
PKU is an autosomal recessive metabolic genetic disorder.
PKU is characterized by homozygous or compound heterozygousmutations in the gene for the hepatic

--- Content provided by FirstRanker.com ---

enzyme phenylalanine hydroxylase (PAH), rendering it nonfunctional.
This enzyme is necessary to metabolize the amino acid phenylalanine (Phe) to the amino acid tyrosine
(Tyr). When PAH activity is reduced, phenylalanine accumulates and is converted into phenylpyruvate (also
known as phenylketone), which can be detected in the urine.
The PAH gene is located on chromosome 12 in the bands 12q22-q24.1. More than 400 disease-causing

--- Content provided by FirstRanker.com ---

mutations have been found in the PAH gene.

Explanation - Treatment of hematoma depends on the location, symptoms, and the clinical situation. Some

--- Content provided by FirstRanker.com ---

may require no treatment at all while others may be deemed a medical emergency.
Simple therapies at home may be utilized in treating superficial (under the skin) hematomas. Most injuries

---

and bruises can be treated with resting, icing, compression, and elevating the area. This is remembered by
the acronym RICE.
These measures usually help to reduce inflammation and diminish its symptoms.

--- Content provided by FirstRanker.com ---

Rest
Ice (Apply the ice or cold pack for 20 minutes at a time, 4 to 8 times a day.)
Compress (Compression can be achieved by using elastic bandages.)
Elevate (Elevation of the injured area above the level of the heart is recommended.)
Medical treatment for a hematoma

--- Content provided by FirstRanker.com ---

For certain small and symptom-free hematomas no medical treatment may be necessary. On the other
hand, symptomatic hematomas or those located in certain locations sometimes require medical or surgical
treatment.
Even though no specific mediation is available for the treatment of hematomas, management of any
related symptoms can be achieved by medications. For example, pain from a hematoma can be treated

--- Content provided by FirstRanker.com ---

with pain medications such as acetaminophen (Tylenol).
Surgical drainage is a common method of treatment for certain hematomas.
