Metabolic abnormality seen in congenital hypertrophic pyloric stenosis is
|
Ans. is 'a' i.e. Hypochloremic hypokalemic metabolic alkalosis * Repeated vomiting leads to hypochloremic, hypokalemic metabolic alkalosis. The urine is alkaline initially but eventually it becomes acidic {paradoxical aciduria)Cause of paradoxical aciduria - Initially the kidney compensate for metabolic alkalosis by reabsorbing hydrogen and chloride ions in exchange for sodium, potassium and bicarbonate. But gradually as the body stores of sodium and especially potassium become depleted, kidney starts retaining these ions in exchange of hydrogen ions, thus the urine becomes acidic and metabolic alkaline state is further aggravated

All of the following statements is/are true about post streptococcal glomerulonephritis except -a) Early treatment of streptococcal pharyngitis prevents glomerulonephritisb) All cases of streptococcal infection lead to glomerulonephritisc) Hump sign may be presentd) Immune complex deposits are seene) Commonly presents with crescent formation
|
There is no evidence to date that the early treatment of streptococcal disease, either pharyngitic or cellulitic, will alter the risk of PSGN.
Not all cases of streptococcal infection lead to glomerulonephritis. PSGN usually develops 1-3 weeks following acute infection with specific nephritogenic strains of group A beta-hemolytic streptococcus. The incidence of GN is approximately 5-10% in persons with pharyngitis and 25% in those with skin infection.
The characteristic ultrastructural feature of PSGN is subepithelial like dense deposits.
By immunofluorescence microscopy, there are granular deposits of IgG, IgM and C3 in the mesangium and along GBM. Focal and sparse immune complex deposits are almost universally present.
PSGN does not commonly present with crescent formation. Only in its severe form PSGN may show rapid deterioration of renal function with formation of crescent in the glomeruli It is referred to as rapidly progressive glomerulonephritis.

All of the following are risk factors for postoperative infection after hysterectomy except :
|
Ans. is b i.e. Use of blood transfusion Friends, let's discuss each option one by one. Urinary catheterization (Option 'a) It is very obvious that urinary catheterization for > 7 days will increase the chances of post operative infection. "Almost all nosocomial UT/ are associated with preceeding instrumentation and indwelling catheter, which create a 3-10% risk of infection each day." Surgery for malignancy (Option 'c) Telinde's Operative Gynaecology 9/e, p 197 and William Gynae, l/e p 77 gives a list of risk factors for Post Operative Infection. Risk factors for Postoperative Infection : Altered immunocompetence Obesity Bacterial vaginosis Excessive intraoperative blood loss Telinde's Operative Gynaecology Radical surgery - a/w prolonged surgical procedure (>3-5 hrs) Prolonged preoperative hospitalization Operative inexperience * Lower socioeconomic status * Poor nutrition * Excessive devitalized tissue * Diabetes mellitus * Failure to use prophylactic anitbiotics * Surgery in an infected operative site. Young age/old age (Williams Gynae 1/e, p 77) From the table it is clear : Radical surgery which is carried out for carcinoma endometrium and carcinoma cervix carries risk for postoperative infection. (Option "c") As far as age is concerned : Telinde operative gynaecology 9/e. p 196 says: "Young age has been considered a risk factor for vaginal posthysterectomy infection, although the exact reason is unclear." And table in Williams Gynae lie. p 77 gives old age as a risk factors for abdominal hysterectomy and young age as a risk factor for vaginal hysterectomy. This leaves us with option 'b' i.e. use of blood transfusion. Though theoretically by blood transfusion risk of infection with - HIV. hepatitis B/C, G etc is high but practically the technique by which blood is prepared there is minimal risk .

Which among the following decreases absorption of Iron from the intestine?
|
Coffee and tea consumption at the time of a meal can significantly decrease iron absorption (the polyphenols bind the iron). Excess consumption of high fiber foods or bran supplements (the phytates in such foods inhibit absorption) and high intake of calcium also decrease the iron absorption. Tetracyclines also decrease Fe absorption. Vit-C and acids increase Fe absorption.

This virus causes a mononucleosis-like syndrome caused by a latent herpesvirus; it is often a congenital infection. Large amounts of the virus are excreted in the urine; thus, urine becomes the fluid of choice for diagnosis of this disease.
|
Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) is a herpesvirus that causes a number of syndromes; the most common is infectious mononucleosis. It is a ubiquitous enveloped DNA virus. Only one serotype of EBV has been recognized, although molecular methods have reorganized a number of genotypes of EBV.Infectious mononucleosis is an acute disease most commonly seen in younger people. It is characterized by a proliferation of lymphocytes, lymph node enlargement, pharyngitis, fatigue, and fever. Infection in young children is usually either asymptomatic or characteristic of an acute upper respiratory infection. Diagnosis is usually made by a positive heterophil test. Heterophil antibodies are those that occur in one species (human) and react with antigens of a different species. The heterophil test may be insensitive (30 to 60%) in children. Definitive diagnosis is made by detection of antibodies to EBV components.EBV causes a variety of other syndromes including Burkitt's lymphoma, the most common childhood cancer in Africa, and nasopharyngeal carcinoma, commonly seen in China.Similar mononucleosis-like diseases are caused by cytomegalovirus (CMV) and Toxoplasma gondii, a parasite. CMV causes fewer than 10% of infectious mononucleosis-like diseases. CMV "mono" is primarily characterized by fatigue. Congenital infection with CMV almost always causes serious sequelae, such as retardation and hearing loss. T. gondii also causes a variety of clinical problems, among them encephalitis in AIDS patients and food poisoning from the ingestion of raw meat. Although CMV and T. gondii are relatively rare causes of infectious mononucleosis, they must be ruled out, particularly when EBV tests are nonreactive.

Ans. b. Familial glucocorticoid deficiency Hypoglycemia, hyperpigmentation with normal BP and normal genitalia in a child points towards Familial glucocorticoid deficiency.Familial Glucocorticoid Deficiency* Familial glucocorticoid deficiency is a rare autosomal recessive condition.* It is characterized by adrenal insufficiency.Pathology:Pathological Examination of the Adrenal GlandZona glomerulosaWell preservedZona fasciculataAtrophiedZona reticularisAtrophiedThis causes low cortisol concentration because the zona fasciculata is primarily responsible for glucocorticoid production.* Zona glomerulosa is well preserved, mineralocorticoid action is usually unaffected.* Low circulating serum cortisol results in lack of feedback inhibition to the hypothalamus, which results in increased ACTH secretion from pituitary.Clinical features* Patients with familial glucocorticoid deficiency generally presents with signs and symptoms of''adrenal insufficiency" with the important distinction that mineralocorticoid production is always normal.* .VIC initial presenting sign is deep hyperpigmentation of the skin, mucous membrane or both as a result of the action of ACTH on cutaneous MSH receptors^.* The symptoms are compatible with glucocorticoid deficiency. May patients presents with recurrent hypoglycemia or severe infections.* In the neonatal period, frequent presenting signs include feeding problems, failure to thrive, regurgitation and hypoglycemia manifesting as seizures.

If an anaesthetist at high altitude uses plenum vaporizers. It will deliver the vapour concentration –
|
Plenum vaporizer is typically set to deliver a 1-2 kPa partial pressure of anaesthetic agent. At sea level, where atmospheric pressure is around 100 kPa, this equates conveniently to a concentration of 1-2% of anaesthetic agent (1-2kPa out of 100 kPa).
At higher altitude, the atmospheric pressure is low (e.g. 75 kPa). The plenum vaporizer deliver 1-2 kPa partial pressure of anaesthetic agent. So, the concentration of anaesthetic vapours will 1.25 - 2.5% → Greater than the concentration of anaesthetic agent at same partial pressure at sea level.

To visualize vascular sling causing tracheal/external airway compression which of the following would you best prefer?
|
B i.e. MRI Vascular Rings Vascular rings is a condition in which an anomalous configuration of the arch and /or its associated vessels completely or incompletely surrounds the trachea & oesophagus causing compression of these structures. Neonates present with respiratory distress and older children present with stridor or dysphagia. Fouh developmental arch is most impoant. The two most common types of complete vascular rings, which account for 85-95% of cases are double aoic arch and right aoic arch with left ligamentum aeriosum Chest x-ray is the first & most commonly performed investigation. The identification of right aoic arch or ill defined arch location and compression of trachea in symptomatic child indicate the diagnosis. Many authorities consider barium oesophagoscopy to be the most impoant study in patients with suspected vascular ring and it is diagnostic in vast majority of cases. - A double aoic arch produce bilateral & posterior compression of oesophagus, which remain constant regardless of peristalsis. The right indentation is usually slightly higher than left and posterior one is usually wide & course in a downward direction from right to left. Right subclan aery takes a retrooesophageal course, there is a posterior defect slanting upward from left to right. The posterior defect is less broad than in double aoic arch. Echocardiography can be used but structures without lumen such as ligamentum aeriosum or an atretic arch are difficult to be identified. Plain x-ray & barium swallow can not reliably distinguish among the types of vascular rings. Cross section images by CT, MRI and digital substraction angiography (DSA) can be useful diagnostic tool in delineating the anatomy and aiding in presurgical planning & post surgical assessment. MR angiography (MRA) is an excellent substitute for DSA but young patients may require general anesthesia & where there is already airway compromise, this should be avoided. MRI is preferred as it is non invasive and avoids radiation riskQ. Multidetector CT is rarely used b/o radiation implication. Angiography (an invasive method) is rarely required unless cardiac catheterization is necessary for investigation of associated cardiac anomalies and if MRI is equivocal (same protocol applies for coarctation of aoa i.e. MRI > CT > Angiography).

A 45 yr old lady presented with recurrent uterine bleeding. On transvaginal USG thickness of endometrium was found to be 8 mm. What should be the next step in the management of this patient ?
|
Ans. is 'a' i.e., Histopathology Uterine bleeding in a 45 year old may also occur due to endometrial carcinoma.Transvaginal ultrasound is used to assess the endometrial thickness.Endometrial thickness depends upon the stage of the menstrual cycle.Immediately after menstruation the endometrium is homogenous, 1-4 mm thick.As the oestrogen concentration increases, endometrium proliferates and its thickness increases to 7-10 mm.After ovulation the echogenicity of endometrium increases and it becomes hyper echogenic throughout with a thickness of 8-16 mm.Transvaginal ultrasound is usually the first investigation in case of dysfunctional uterine bleeding.TVS measures endometrial thickness. The exact cut off values for endometrial thickness measurement in premenopausal women to predict endometrial neoplasia are subject to continuing debate.The British "RCOG" Guideline development group analyzed a number of studies and concluded that 10-12 mm was a reasonable cut off when using TVS preferably undertaken in follicular phase, as a method prior to more invasive procedures of endometrial assessment.In the question, the endometrial thickness is 8mm but the stage of the cycle is not mentioned.The endometrial thickness of the patient does not fulfill the criteria meted out by RCOG but still she should undergo further endometrial evaluation as her age is 45 years.Women aged 40 years or more with vaginal bleeding should have an endometrial biopsy to exclude endometrial carcinoma.According to Shaw's "It is essential to rule out endometrial carcinoma in premenopausal women with menorrhagia ",Also know

A 17 year old girl presents with history of generalised abdominal pain, fever, recurrent vomiting. On examination, she has a temperature of 103degF, Right Iliac fossa tenderness, and WBC are 19600/mm' ?
|
Ans. is 'a' i.e., Ruptured appendicular abscess Abdominal pain and vomiting suggest the most likely diagnosis of appendicitis. High temp (103degF) and high WBC count suggest appendiceal rupture. Schwaz writes - "Rupture should be suspected in the presence of fever greater than 39degC (102degF) and a WBC count greater than 18,000/mm3." Other options are less likely, as fever and vomiting is uncommon in them. Intussusception Is usually seen in children younger than 2 yrs of age Fever, leucocytosis is not seen. Ruptured ectopic pregnancy Schwaz writes - "Rupture of . tubal or ovarian pregnancies can mimic appendicitis. Patients usually give a history of abnormal menses; either missing one or two periods or noting only slight vaginal bleeding. The diagnosis of ruptured ectopic pregnancy should be relatively easy. The presence of a pelvic mass and elevated levels of chorionic gonadotropin are characteristic While the leukocyte count rises slightly (to approx. 14,000), the hematocrit level falls as a consequence of the intraabdominal haemorrhage. Vaginal examination reveals cervical motion and adenexal tenderness." Twisted ovarian cyst Shaw's writes - "A twisted ovarian cyst causes sudden pain in abdomen with occasional vomiting, but pyrexia is usually absent or very low. An abdominal lump is felt distinctly.

(Ref: Goodman & Gillman s 13th ed.

Hence these drugs are not given together.

They present with low grade fever, headache, malaise some time with rash and ahropathy resembling glandular fever. Spontaneous rresolution occurs within weeks. Tests for HIV antibodies are usually negative at the onset of illness but become positive during its course. So this stage is also called as seroconversion illness. `,symptomatic or Latent Infectio. Seen in all patients. This phase which lasts upto several years, patient remain asymptomatic. HIV antibody test is positive in this phase and patients are infectious. This period of clinical latency does not mean viral latency as virus multiplication goes on throughout. "ercictant generalized lvninhadenonathy This stage is defined as presence of enlarged lymphnodes at least 1 cm in diameter in two or more non-contagious extrainguinal sites, that persist for at least three months, in absence of any current illness or medication that may cause lymphadenopathy. AIDS related corn /Ilex. This group include patients with considerable immunodeficiency suffering from various constitutional symptoms or minor oppoinistic infections like oral candidiasis herps zoster, hairy cell leukoplakia. AIDS: This is the endstage representing the irreversible breakdown of immunodefence mechanisms leading to progressive oppounistic infection and malignancies. merr"- During the period of clinical latency 10 billion HIV paicles are produced and destroyed every day. Half life of virus in plasma is about 6 hours. Virus life cycle (from the time of infection of a cell to the production of new progeny that infect the next cell) averages 2.6 days

Aldosterone synthesis is stimulated by which of the following?
|
Mineralocoicoid secretion is stimulated by hyperkalemia, angiotensin-H, ACTH and hyponatremia, in reducing order of efficacy. 1. Aldosterone secretion in response to hyperkalemia is the most impoant and forms the basis for renal regulation of body potassium balance. 2. Stimulation of aldosterone by angiotensin II (through renin-angioensin system) is impoant for the correction of hypovolemia and hypotension in conditions like salt depletion or renal ischemia. 3. Stimulation of aldosterone secretion by ACTH results in diurnal variation of aldosterone secretion. 4. However, ACTH is not an impoant physiological regulator for aldosterone secretion. Hyponatremia is a weak stimulator of aldosterone secretion REF : HARRISONS 21ST ED

A patient with an abdominal malignancy underwent procedure for celiac plexus block. Which of the following can be the most common complication in this patient?
|
The most common complication of celiac plexus block is postural hypotension, from block of the visceral sympathetic innervation and resultant vasodilation. For this reason, patients should be adequately hydrated intravenously prior to this block. Other complications include, Accidental intravascular injection into the vena cava Accidental intra aoic injection Pneumothorax Retroperitoneal hemorrhage Injury to the kidneys or pancreas Sexual dysfunction Paraplegia (due to injury to the lumbar aery of Adamkiewicz) Increased gastrointestinal motility and diarrhea Back pain Ref: Butterwoh IV J.F., Mackey D.C., Wasnick J.D.

Small bones are supplied by
|
Periosteal arteries
These are especially numerous beneath the muscular and ligamentous attachments.
They ramify beneath the periosteum and enter the Volkmann's canals to supply the outer 1/3 of the cortex.
In miniature long bones, the infection begins in the middle of the shaft rather than at the metaphysis because, the nutrient artery breaks up into a plexus immediately upon reaching the medullary cavity. In the adults, however, the chances of infection are minimized because the nutrient artery is mostly replaced by the periosteal vessels.
KEY CONCEPT:
Short bones are supplied by numerous periosteal vessels which enter their nonarticular surfaces.

Which is the best fluid for resuscitation during shock state?
|
ANSWER: (A) CrystalloidsREF: Schwartz's Principles of Surgery 9th ed chapter 5"Fluid resuscitation is a major adjunct to physically controlling hemorrhage in patients with shock. The ideal type of fluid to be used continues to be debated; however, crystalloids continue to be the mainstay of fluid choice"Several studies have demonstrated increased risk of death in bleeding trauma patients treated with colloid compared to patients treated with crystalloid. In patients with severe hemorrhage, restoration of intravascular volume should be achieved ivith blood products.Ongoing studies continue to evaluate the use of hypertonic saline as a resuscitative adjunct in bleeding patients. The benefit of hypertonic saline solutions may be immunomodulatory. Specifically, these effects have been attributed to pharmacologic effects resulting in decreased reperfusion-mediated injury with decreased O2 radical formation, less impairment of immune function compared to standard crystalloid solution, and less brain swelling in the multi- injured patient. The reduction of total volume used for resuscitation makes this approach appealing as a resuscitation agent for combat injuries and may contribute to a decrease in the incidence of ARDS and multiple organ failure.

Cardiac arrest developed due to local anaesthetic systemic absorption. All are management except-
|
Vasopressin not used Advanced Cardiac Life Suppo algorithms for cardiopulmonary resuscitation must be followed should cardiac arrest occur. Chest compressions should be initiated immediately and continued until return of spontaneous circulation. If epinephrine is used, small initial doses of <=1 ug[?]kg-1 are preferred to avoid impaired pulmonary gas exchange and increased afterload. Vasopressin is not recommended for use as it has been associated with adverse outcomes in animal models. In the absence of rapid recovery following advanced life suppo measures and intravenous lipid emulsion therapy, early consideration should be given to cardiopulmonary bypass for circulatory suppo. The inotropic effect of lipid emulsion therapy only occurs once the myocardial LA levels are below a threshold that corresponds to ion channel blocking concentrations. This emphasizes the impoance of effective chest compressions to ensure coronary perfusion is sufficient to reduce LA tissue levels in order to obtain the benefit of lipid emulsion therapy. If cardiac output is maintained but there are deleterious CVS effects - such as arrhythmias, conduction block, progressive hypotension, and bradycardia - standard Advanced Cardiac Life Suppo algorithms should be followed with the omission of LA, such as lidocaine, for the treatment of arrhythmia. Amiodarone is the first-line antiarrhythmic in the event of ventricular dysrhythmia.

Hypoxic pulmonary vasoconstriction:
|
The great reduction in pulmonary vascular resistance during the transition from placental to normal respiration is largely brought about by the process of hypoxic pulmonary vasoconstriction. The other choices are incorrect because the PO2 of alveolar gas is much more impoant than the PO2 of mixed venous blood, CO2 uptake is irrelevant, the constriction paly dives blood flow from poorly ventilated, not well-ventilated regions of diseased lungs, and the inhalation of nitric oxide paly reverses hypoxic pulmonary vasoconstriction.

An enzyme produced by Staphylococcus aureus that dissolves fibrin clots is:
|
Pathogenic bacteria release exoenzymes that increase their ability to invade body tissue. These include coagulase, kinases, lipase, hyaluronidase, and collagenase. All Staphylococci produce catalase, an enzyme responsible for conversion of toxic hydrogen peroxide to water and oxygen which accumulates during bacterial metabolism or is released following phagocytosis. Kinases dissolve fibrin clots thus enabling the organism to invade and spread throughout the body. Staphylococcus aureus produces staphylokinase which is fibrinolytic. Coagulase is the exoenzyme produced by Staphylococcus aureus and it clots the plasma. Lipase hydrolyzes lipids, and aids in the survival of staphylococci in the sebaceous glands. Hyaluronidase enables pathogen to spread through connective tissue by breaking down hyaluronic acid, the "cement" that holds tissue cells together. Ref: Francis C.W., Crowther M. (2010). Chapter 23. Principles of Antithrombotic Therapy. In J.T. Prchal, K. Kaushansky, M.A. Lichtman, T.J. Kipps, U. Seligsohn (Eds), Williams Hematology, 8e.

Not true about angioneurotic edema -
|
Angioedema is an area of swelling of the lower layer of skin and tissue just under the skin or mucous membranes.The swelling may occur in the face, tongue, larynx, abdomen, or arms and legs.Often it is associated with hives, which are swelling within the upper skin.Onset is typically over minutes to hours The underlying mechanism typically involves histamine or bradykinin. The version related to histamine is due to an allergic reaction to agents such as insect bites, foods, or medications. The version related to bradykinin may occur due to an inherited problem known as C1 esterase inhibitor deficiency, medications known as angiotensin-conveing enzyme inhibitors, or a lymphoproliferative disorder. Effos to protect the airway may include intubation or cricothyroidotomy. Histamine-related angioedema can be treated with antihistamines, coicosteroids, and epinephrine.In those with bradykinin-related disease a C1 esterase inhibitor, ecallantide, or icatibant may be used.Fresh frozen plasma may be used insteadIn the United States the disease affects about 100,000 people a year. The skin of the face, normally around the mouth, and the mucosa of the mouth and/or throat, as well as the tongue, swell over the period of minutes to hours. The swelling can also occur elsewhere, typically in the hands. The swelling can be itchy or painful. There may also be slightly decreased sensation in the affected areas due to compression of the nerves. Uicaria (hives) may develop simultaneously. In severe cases, stridor of the airway occurs, with gasping or wheezy inspiratory breath sounds and decreasing oxygen levels. Tracheal intubation is required in these situations to prevent respiratory arrest and risk of death. Sometimes, the cause is recent exposure to an allergen (e.g. peanuts), but more often it is either idiopathic (unknown) or only weakly correlated to allergen exposure Ref Davidson 23rd edition pg 461
