An 80-year-old patient presents with a midline tumor of the lower jaw, involving the alveolar margin. He is edentulous. Treatment of choice is:
|
Mandibulectomy Marginal mandibulectomy Segmental mandibulectomy - Conservative mandibulectomy - Refers to paial excision of the superior poion of mandible in veical phase - Inner coical surface and a poion of underlying medullary cavity is excised - Preserve mandibular continuity - Indicated when tumor lies within I cm of the mandible or abuts the periosteum without evidence of direct bony invasion - Entire through and through segment of mandible is resected - Results in mandibular discontinuity - Require major reconstructive procedure for cosmetic and functional purposes - Indications: 1. Invasion of medullary space of mandible 2. Tumor fixation to occlusal surface of mandible in edentulous patients 3. Invasion of tumor into the mandible mandibular or mental foramen 4. Tumor fixed to the mandible.

Which one of the following congenital heart diseases has cyanosis without cardiomegaly and/or congestive heart failure –
|
Cardiomegaly and CHF do not occur in Fallot's tetrology.
No Cardiomegaly
First you should know the following facts : -
Pressure overload to ventricles causes concentric hypertrophy without dilatation.
Volume overload to ventricles causes hypertrophy with dilatation → Eccentric hypertrophy.
Due to pulmonary stenosis, there is pressure overload to right ventricle → Concentric hypertrophy of right ventricle without dilatation → No Cardiomegaly.
No CHF
The VSD of TOF is always large enough to allow free exit to the right to left shunt.
Since the right ventricle is effectively decompressed by the VSD, CHF never occurs in TOF.

A 37-year-old female presents to the emergency room with a fever. Chest x-ray shows multiple patchy infiltrates in both lungs. Echocardiography and blood cultures suggest a diagnosis of acute bacterial endocarditis limited to the tricuspid valve. Which of the following is the most probable etiology?
|
The most probable etiology of bacterial endocarditis involving the tricuspid valve is illicit intravenous drug use, which can introduce skin organisms into the venous system that then attack the tricuspid valve. Staphylococcus aureus accounts for between 60% and 90% of cases of endocarditis in intravenous drug users. The endocarditis associated with congenital hea disease typically involves either damaged valves or atrial or ventricular septal defects. The tricuspid valve is not paicularly vulnerable. Rheumatic fever most commonly damages the mitral and aoic valves, and tricuspid damage is usually less severe and seen only when the mitral and aoic valves are heavily involved. Consequently, secondary bacterial endocarditis involving only the tricuspid valve in a patient with a history of rheumatic fever would be unusual. Rheumatoid ahritis is not associated with bacterial endocarditis. Ref: Brooks G.F. (2013). Chapter 14. The Streptococci, Enterococci, and Related Genera. In G.F.

|
Pulmonary infections may be caused by bacteria, fungi, viruses, or mycoplasma. Bacterial infections generally result in a polymorphonuclear (neutrophil) response. Bacterial infection of the lung (pneumonia) results in consolidation of the lung, which may be patchy or diffuse. Patchy consolidation of the lung is seen in bronchopneumonia (lobular pneumonia), while diffuse involvement of an entire lobe is seen in lobar pneumonia. Histologically, bronchopneumonia is characterized by multiple, suppurative neutrophil-rich exudates that fill the bronchi and bronchioles and spill over into the adjacent alveolar spaces. In contrast, lobar pneumonia is characterized by four distinct stages: congestion, red hepatization, gray hepatization, and resolution Reference: Robbins & Cotran Pathologic Basis of Disease, 9edition.

Tissue suturing glue contains:
|
Most tissue adhesives or glue are cyanoacrylate polymers, such as n-butyl-2-cyanoacrylate (eg, Histoacryl®, PeriAcryl®) or 2-octyl cyanoacrylate (eg, Dermabond®, Surgiseal).
Cyanoacrylate tissue adhesives are liquid monomers that undergo an exothermic reaction on exposure to moisture (eg, on the skin surface), changing to polymers that form a strong tissue bond. When applied to a laceration, the polymer binds the wound edges together to allow normal healing of the underlying tissue.
Compared with wounds closed with sutures, the tensile strength of wounds closed by tissue adhesives is less at the time of initial application, but equalizes by one week post-repair.
Advantages:
Less painful application, and sometimes no need for local anesthetic injection
More rapid application and repair time
Cosmetically similar results at 12 months post-repair
Waterproof barrier
Antimicrobial properties
Better acceptance by patients
No need for suture removal or follow-up
Indications and contraindications:
For use of tissue adhesives the wound needs to be clean, dry with near perfect hemostasis and under no tension.
Complex stellate lesions or crush injuries should not be closed with tissue adhesives since good wound approximation is difficult to achieve.
Tissue adhesives are not recommended for lacerations of the hands, feet, or joints, since repetitive movements could cause the adhesive bond to break before sufficient tensile strength is achieved.
Tissue adhesives are not recommended for the oral mucosa or other mucosal surfaces or areas of high moisture such as the axillae and perineum.
Lacerations involving the hairline or vermilion border require more precision, and should be repaired with traditional sutures.

Hypoglycemic unawareness that occurs in diabetic patients when transferred from oral hypoglycemics to insulin, is due to :
|
Answer is A (Autonomic neuropathy): Hypoglycemic unawareness refers to a loss of warning symptoms that ale individuals to the presence of hypoglycemia and prompt them to eat and'abo the episode. Hypoglycemic unawareness can be attributed to two factors : Autonomic neuropathy Loss of catecholamine response to hypoglycemia : This means that patients with repeated attacks of hypoglycemia lose their capacity to release epinephrine and norepinephrine in response to hypoglycemia. (increase release of glucogon in response to hypoglycemia is lost very early in type I Diabetes Thus type I patients overeated with insulin may be unaware of critically low levels of blood glucose because of an adaptive blunting of their alarm systems owing to repeated episodes of hypoglycemia.

Specific Learning Disability (SLD) in youth is a neurodevelopmental disorderproduced by the interaction of heritable and environmental factors that influence the brain's ability to effeciently perceive or process verbal and non verbal information. It is characterised by persistent difficulty learning academic skills reading, written expression, that is inconsistent with the overall intellectual ability of a child. They find difficulty to keep up with their peers in ceain academic subjects. SLD is associated with an increased risk of comorbid disorders, including ADHD, Communication disorders, Conduct disorders and Depressive disorders. Ref: Synopsis of Psychiatry, 11e, pg 1181.

A 29year old primigravida at 36weeks with Rh negative pregnancy came to labor room with complaints of bleeding per vaginum followed by abdominal trauma. Which of the following test is advised to estimate the size of fetomaternal haemorrhage?
|
* kliehauer Betke test is the procedure of choice to assess the volume of the fetal maternal bleeding * It should be done as soon as possible (within 2hours) after delivery in women with suspected large feto maternal haemorrhage who need larger amounts of anti D * This method is based on the fact that an acid solution elutes the adult but not the fetal hemoglobin from the red cells. * Fetal erythrocytes appear in a smear stained dark red and surrounded by colourless ghosts that are adult erythrocytes without hemoglobin. * This test can detect as little as 0.2ml of fetal blood diluted in 5litres of maternal blood. * Following clinical scenarios are associated with large feto maternal bleeding: 1. Traumatic deliveries including cesarean 2. Manual removal of placenta 3. Still bihs and intrauterine deaths 4. Abdominal trauma during the third trimester 4. Twin pregnancies at delivery 5. unexplained hydrops fetalis Reference: Greentop guidelines no: 22

A hemodynamically stable patient with blunt abdominal trauma, the best investigation is ?
|
CT Scan of Abdomen: It is most commonly used and better investigation for abdominal trauma. It is useful in blunt/penetrating trauma, suspected pancreas, spleen, liver, duodenal, retroperitoneal injuries. Smaller injuries, early haemoperitoneum are better detected. It is noninvasive, highly specifi c, highly accurate (96%), with low false-positive/low false-negative, noninvasive. Diagnostic Peritoneal Lavage (DPL) (by Perry) It is useful in blunt injury abdomen. It is not very useful in penetrating injury, bowel injury, retroperitoneal and pelvic injuries. Focused abdominal sonar trauma (FAST): It is rapid, noninvasive, poable bedside method of investigation focusing on pericardium, splenic, hepatic and pelvic areas. It is not reliable for bowel or penetrating injuries. It often needs to be repeated. SRB's Manual of Surgery, 4th Edition, pg. no. 150

Which of the following radio of Iodine is used for thyroid scan: September 2008
|
Ans. A: 1-123 The radionuclides that are used in thyroid scans are two isotopes of iodine, 1-131 and 1-123, and an isotope of technetium known as 99m Tc. Technetium scanning is preferred for some diagnostic workups because it is relatively fast and does not require the patient to fast beforehand. Many prefer to reserve 1-131 for follow-up evaluations of cancer patients, and use 1-123 for thyroid uptake tests and routine thyroid scans. The reason for the distinction is the higher radiation burden of 1-131.

TETRACYCLINES These are a class of antibiotics having a nucleus of four cyclic rings. The tetracyclines still available in India for clinical use are: Tetracycline Oxytetracycline Demeclocycline Doxycycline Minocycline Uses: Although tetracyclines are broad-spectrum antibiotics, they should be employed only for those infections for which a more selective and less toxic AMA is not available. Clinical use of tetracyclines has very much declined due to availability of fluoroquinolones and other efficacious AMAs. USES: >Mild leptospirosis is treated with doxycycline, ampicillin, or amoxicillin. For severe leptospirosis, intravenous penicillin G has long been the drug of choice, although the third-generation cephalosporins cefotaxime and ceftriaxone have become widely used. >Rickettsial infections: typhus, rocky mountain spotted fever, Q fever, etc. respond dramatically.

The macrophage to epitheliod conversion in Mycobacterium tuberculosis infection is mediated by:
|
Ref: Robbins Pathologic Basis of Disease, 8th edition, Pg: 183Explanation:T Cell-Mediated (Type IV) HypersensitivityThe cell-mediated type of hypersensitivity is initiated by antigen-activated (sensitized T lymphocytes, including CD4+ and CD8+ Tcells.Tubercle bacilli colonizing the lungs are persistent or nondegradable antigensThe perivascular infiltrate is dominated by macrophages over a period of 2 or 3 weeks.The activated macrophages often undergo a morphologic transformation into epithelium-like cells and are then referred to as epithelioid cells.A microscopic aggregation of epithelioid cells, usually surrounded by a collar of lymphocytes, is referred to as a granuloma.This pattern of inflammation, called granulomatous inflammation is typically associated with strong T-cell activation with cytokine production.M. tuberculosis enters macrophages by endocytosis mediated by several macrophage receptors: mannose receptors bind lipoarabino- mannan. a glvcolipid in the bacterial cell wall, and complement receptors bind opsonized mycobacteria.M. tuberculosis organisms replicate within the phagosome by blocking fusion of the phagosome and lysosomeAbout 3 weeks after infection, a T-helper 1 (TH1) response is mounted that activates macrophages to become bactericidal.Differentiation of TH1 cells depends on IL-12, which is produced by antigen-presenting cells that have encountered the mycobacteria.Mature TH1 cells, both in lymph nodes and in the lung, produce IFN-g.INF-g is the critical mediator that enables macrophages to contain the M. tuberculosis infection.IFN-g stimulates formation of the phagolysosome in infected macrophages, exposing the bacteria to an inhospitable acidic environment.Macrophages activated by IFN-y differentiate into the "epithelioid histiocytes" that characterize the granulomatous response, and may fuse to form giant cells.Activated macrophages also secrete TNF. which promotes recruitment of more monocytes.

Vasogenic edema occurs due to a breakdown of the tight endothelial junctions that make up the blood-brain barrier. This allows intravascular proteins and fluid to penetrate into the parenchymal extracellular space. Some premature babies have bleeding in the brain, which can block the flow of CSF andcause hydrocephalus. Other possible causesof congenital hydrocephalus include: X-linked hydrocephalus - caused by a mutation of the X chromosome Ref ganong's review of medical physiology 25e p277

Diffuse axonal injury (DAI) is a form of traumatic brain injury. It happens when the brain rapidly shifts inside the skull as an injury is occurring. The long connecting fibers in the brain called axons are sheared as the brain rapidly accelerates and decelerates inside the hard bone of the skull. DAI typically causes injury to many pa of the brain, and people who suffer a DAI are usually left in a coma. The changes in the brain are often very tiny and can be difficult to detect using CT or MRI scans. It is one of the most common types of traumatic brain injury and also one of the most devastating. The prevailing symptom of DAI is loss of consciousness. This typically lasts six or more hours. If the DAI is mild, then people might remain conscious but display other signs of brain damage. These symptoms can be extremely varied, as they depend upon which area of the brain has been damaged. They can include: disorientation or confusion headache nausea or vomiting drowsiness or fatigue trouble sleeping sleeping longer than normal loss of balance or dizziness Ref:

Which of the following enzyme leads to release of free glucose from glycogen during glycogenolysis in muscle?
|
Debranching enzyme Has 2 catalytic sites in a single polypeptide chain. Glucan transferase and debranching enzyme are the two separate activities of the same enzyme. Glucan transferase 1,6-glycosidase transfers a trisaccharide unit from one branch to the other, exposing the 1 - 6 branch point. Breaks a (1- 6) bond, which is present at the staing of a branched-chain releasing glucose **Glucose-6-phosphatase also release free glucose but only in liver and not in muscle.

Haemorrhage is the most frequent life-threatening complication of thyroidectomy. Around 1 in 50 patients will develop a haematoma, and in almost all cases this will develop in the first 24 hours. If an aerial bleed occurs, the tension in the central compament pressure can rise until it exceeds venous pressure. Venous oedema of the larynx can then develop and cause airway obstruction leading to death. If a haematoma develops, clinical staff should know to remove skin sutures in order to release some pressure and seek senior advice immediately. Endotracheal intubation should be used to secure the airway while the haematoma is evacuated and the bleeding point controlled.Ref: Bailey and Love, page no: 815

Temporo-mandibular joint is weight-bearing joint though not covered by hyaline cartilage like sterno-clavicular joint. Clavicle ossifies at five weeks followed by mandible at six weeks. Absence of hyaline cartilage is because no cartilaginous precursor exists at that time. This does not mean that the joint is non-weight bearing, it is the early ossification which has made the joint free of hyaline cartilage.

The pseudo-isomorphic phenomenon is seen in
|
Koebner response or the isomorphic response, attributed to Heinrich Kobner, is the appearance of skin lesions on lines of trauma. The Koebner phenomenon may result from either a linear exposure or irritation. Pseudokoebner phenomenon-Conditions demonstrating linear lesions after a linear exposure to a causative agent include molluscum contagiosum, was and toxicodendron dermatitis (dermatitis caused by a genus of plants including poison ivy). Was and molluscum contagiosum lesions can be spread in linear patterns by self-scratching ("auto-inoculation"). Toxicodendron dermatitis lesions are often linear from brushing up against the plant. True koebner phenomenon-Causes of the Koebner phenomenon that are secondary to scratching rather than an infective or chemical cause include vitiligo, psoriasis, lichen planus, lichen nitidus, pityriasis rubra pilaris, and keratosis follicularis Ref Harrison 20th edition pg 2111

Fatty liver refers to the deposition of excess triglycerides in the liver cells. The balance between the factors causing fat deposition in liver versus factors causing removal of fat from liver determines the outcome.Causes of Fatty LiverA. Causes of fat deposition in liver1. Mobilization of NEFA from adipose tissue.2. Excess synthesis of fatty acid from glucose.B. Reduced removal of fat from liver3. Toxic injury to liver. Secretion of VLDL needs synthesis of apo B-100 and apo C.4. Decreased oxidation of fat by hepatic cells.An increase in factors (1) and (2) or a decrease in factors (3) and (4) will cause excessive accumulation, leading to fatty liver.Ref: DM Vasudevan - Textbook of Biochemistry, 6th edition, page no: 142
