In what period, following delivery, does the cardiac output return to the pre-pregnancy state?
Cardiac output returns to pre labour values by one hour following delivery and pre pregnancy level by 4 weeks. Cardiac output: It stas to increase from 5th week of pregnancy reaches a peak 40-50% at about 30-34 weeks. It increases fuher during labour (50%) and immediately following delivery (70%) over pre labour values. Increase in cardiac output is due to: Increased blood volume To meet the additional oxygen required due to increased metabolic activity during pregnancy.

Alkaptonuria is due to deficiency of
(D) Homogentisic acid oxidase # Enzyme defect in Ochronosis (Alkaptonuria):> Defective enzyme in alkaptonuria is Homogentisate oxidase in tyrosine metabolism.> Homogentisate accumulates in tissues and blood, and is excreted into urine.> Homogentisate, on standing, gets oxidized to the corresponding quinones, which polymerize to give black or brown colour.> For this reason, the urine of alkaptonuric patients resembles coA are in colour.> Homogentiste gets oxidised by polyphenol oxidase to benzoquinone acetate which undergoes polymerization to form a pigment "Alkapton".> Alkapton gets deposited in connective tissues, bones and various organs resulting in a condition called "Ochronosis".> Many patients suffer from arthritis: and this is believed to be due to the deposition of pigment alkapton in the connective tissues.

After acute HIV syndrome, most of the patient's develop a clinically asymptomatic stage . Active virus replication is on going and progressive during the asymptomatic period . Lymphoid tissues are the major anatomic sites for the establishment and propagation of HIV infection. Virus replication occurs mainly in lymphoid tissue and not in blood. . Though patients are asymptomatic (clinical latency) they do not have microbiologic latency as there is low level of viremia due to active replication. So patient is infective during this period There is steady progressive decline (not rapid) of CD4 + Tcell count during latent phase. The average rate of CD4 + T cell decline is 50/m1 per year.

In which of the following condition, positive Rinne test is seen?
PRESBYCUSIS Sensorineural hearing loss associated with physiological aging process in the ear is called presbycusis. It usually manifests at the age of 65 years but may do so early if there is hereditary predisposition, chronic noise exposure or generalized vascular disease. Four pathological types of presbycusis have been identified. 1. Sensory. This is characterized by degeneration of the organ of Coi, staing at the basal coil and progressing gradually to the apex. Higher frequencies are affected but speech discrimination remains good. 2. Neural. This is characterized by degeneration of the cells of spiral ganglion, staing at the basal coil and progressing to the apex. Neurons of higher auditory pathways may also be affected. This manifests with high tone loss but speech discrimination is poor and out of propoion to the pure tone loss. 3. Strial or metabolic. This is characterized by atrophy of stria vascularis in all turns of cochlea. In this, the physical and chemical processes of energy production are affected. It runs in families. Audiogram is flat but speech discrimination is good. 4. Cochlear conductive. This is due to stiffening of the basilar membrane thus affecting its movements. Audiogram is sloping type. Patients of presbycusis have great difficulty in hearing in the presence of background noise though they may hear well in quiet surroundings. They may complain of speechbeing heard but not understood. Recruitment phenomenon is positive and all the sounds suddenly become intolerable when volume is raised. Tinnitus is another bothersome problem and in some it is the only complaint. Patients of presbycusis can be helped by a hearing aid. They should also have lessons in speech reading through Visual cues. Cuailment of smoking and stimulants like tea and coffee may help to decrease tinnitus.

In Erb's palsy, the limb is in which position:
Ans. C. Extended, medially rotated, pronatedErb's paralysis is caused by the excessive increase in the angle between the head and shoulder, which may occur by fall from the back of horse and landing on shoulder or traction of the arm during birth of a child.This involves upper trunk (C5 and C6 roots) and leads to a typical deformity of the limb called policeman's tip hand/porter's tip hand/waiter's tip hand. In this deformity, the arm hangs by the side, adducted and medially rotated, and forearm is extended and pronated.Clinical features are as follows:a. Adduction of arm due to paralysis deltoid muscle.b. Medial rotation of arm due to paralysis supraspinatus, infraspinatus, and teres minor muscles.c. Extension of elbow, due to paralysis of biceps brachii.d. Pronation of forearm due to paralysis of biceps brachii.e. Loss of sensation (minimal) along the outer aspect of arm due to involvement of roots of C6 spinal nerve.

The breast becomes fully differentiated during pregnancy and lactation. All the following statements are true regarding the pregnant and lactating breast, EXCEPT:
The breast becomes fully differentiated during pregnancy and lactation. The terminal lobular units are most affected during this physiologic state. Several histologic changes occur in the terminal ducts and lobules with enlargement and formation of new lobular units early in pregnancy. By the end of the second trimester secretory changes are well developed and the cuboidal luminal epithelial cells show evidence of vacuolization. Accumulation of fat droplets occurs within the cytoplasm of the epithelium of the lobules during the third trimester. The lobules undergo striking hyperplasia to occupy most of the breast parenchyma during this time, with a decrease in the interlobular connective tissue. At term the expanded lobular units show marked distention of their lumina by colostrum. Ref: Cunningham F.G., Leveno K.J., Bloom S.L., Hauth J.C., Rouse D.J., Spong C.Y. (2010). Chapter 5.

Doppler effect results from change in -
Doppler effect is due to shift in sound frequency as the sound as reflected from the moving Red blood cells. If the motion of RBC is towards the transducer, the returning sound wave has higher frequency than transmitted wave. If the motion of RBC is away the transducer, the returning sound wave has lower frequency than transmitted wave. Color intenstiy indicates the relative velocity of the red blood cells.

Which of the following statements about lepromin test is not true -
LEPROMIN TEST The test is performed by injecting intradermally 0.1 ml of lepromin into the inner aspect of the forearm of the individual. As a routine, the reaction is read at 48 hours and 21 days. Two types of positive reactions have been described: (a) EARLY REACTION : The early reaction is also known as Fernandez reaction. An inflammatory response develops within 24 to 48 hours and this tends to disappear after 3 to 4 days. It is evidenced by redness and induration at the site of inoculation. If the diameter of the red area is more than 10 mm at the end of 48 hours, the test is considered positive. The early positive reaction indicates whether or not a person has been previously sensitized by exposure to and infection by the leprosy bacilli. In this sense, the early reaction is much superior to the late reactfon. The early reaction has been described as delayed hypersensitivity reaction to "soluble" constituents of the leprosy bacilli. The reaction corresponds to the Mantoux reaction in tuberculosis, caused by the soluble antigens (PPD) of the tubercle bacilli. (b) LATE REACTION : This is the classical Mitsuda reaction. The reaction develops late, becomes apparent in 7-10 days following the injection and reaching its maximum in 3 or 4 weeks. The test is read at 21 days. At the end of 21 days, if there is a nodule more than 5 mm in diameter at the site of inoculation, the reaction is said to be positive. The nodule may even ulcerate and heal with scarring if the antigen is crude. It may be noted that the diameter of the red area in the early reaction, and the diameter of the nodule in the late reaction are measured. The early reaction is induced by the soluble constituents of the leprosy bacilli; and the late reaction by the bacillary component of the antigen. It indicates cell-mediated immunity. In the first 6 months of life, most children are lepromin negative; some may become positive by the end of first year. Data obtained from different pas of the world indicate that in endemic areas, lepromin reaction is already positive in 20 per cent of children under 5 years of age, and this propoion increases to around 60 per cent or more in the 10-14 years age group, and to 80 per cent or more in persons over 19 years of age. BCG vaccination is capable of conveing the lepra reaction from negative to positive in a large propoion of individuals. Value of the lepromin test Lepromin test is not a diagnostic test. The two drawbacks that stand in the way of this test being used for diagnosis are : (i) positive results in non-cases, and (ii) negative results in lepromatous and near-lepromatous cases. The test has been generally accepted as a useful tool in evaluating the immune status (CMI) of leprosy patients. It is of considerable value in confirming the results ofclassification of cases of leprosy on clinical and bacteriological grounds. In other words, the test is widely used as an aid to classify the type of disease. The test is also of great value in estimating the prognosis in cases of leprosy of all types. The test is usually strongly positive in the typical tuberculoid cases, and the positivity getting weaker as one passes through the spectrum to the lepromatous end, the typical lepromatous cases being lepromin negative indicating a failure of CMI. It is known that lepromin negative individuals are at a higher risk of developing progressive multibacillary leprosy, but those who are lepromin positive either escape the clinical disease (the majority) or develop paucibacillary disease (the minority).

False about trans fatty acid
Trans fatty acids (TFA) are atherogenic. They lower HDL level and elevate LDL level. TFA is present in dairy products and hydrogenated edible oils. It is widely used in the food industry since it increases the shelf life of fried food. Cooking media containing PUFA and fast food preparations have a high content of trans fatty acids. Trans fatty acids adversely affect endothelial function and aggravate insulin resistance and diabetes. It is high in processed foods and bakery products, where hydrogenated vegetable oils are used for cooking.Ref: DM Vasudevan - Textbook of Biochemistry, 6th edition, page no: 437

In the Forrest classiflcation for bleeding peptic ulcer with a visible vessel or pigmented protuberance is classified as -
Clinical features of Peptic ulcers Peptic ulcer disease is a chronic condition with spontaneous relapses and remissions lasting for decades, if not for life. The most common presentation is with recurrent abdominal pain that has three notable characteristics: localisation to the epigastrium, relationship to food and episodic occurrence. Occasional vomiting occurs in about 40% of ulcer subjects; persistent daily vomiting suggests gastric outlet obstruction. In one-third, the history is less characteristic, especially in elderly people or those taking NSAIDs. In this situation, pain may be absent or so slight that it is experienced only as a vague sense of epigastric unease. Occasionally, the only symptoms are anorexia and nausea, or early satiety after meals. In some patients, the ulcer is completely 'silent', presenting for the first time with anaemia from chronic undetected blood loss, as abrupt haematemesis or as acute perforation; in others, there is recurrent acute bleeding without ulcer pain. The diagnostic value of individual symptoms for peptic ulcer disease is poor; the history is therefore a poor predictor of the presence of an ulcer. Ref Davidson edition23rd pg 799

The CSF profile in S. aureus meningitis is indistinguishable from that in other bacterial causes of meningitis" Causes of bacterial meningitis vary by age group and comorbid conditions: Age Group & conditions Causes Premature babies & New- horns up to 3 month Group B Streptococci (mc), Streptococcus pneumoniae, Escherichia coli (carrying K1 antigen), Listeria monocytogenes Infants Neisseria meningitidis, Haemophilus influenzae, Streptococcus pneumoniae Children (2-29 years) N. meningitidis (mc), S. pneumoniae Adult S. pneumoniae (mc), N. meningitidis, Mycobacteria Impaired cellular immunity L monocytogenes, gram-negative bacilli, S pneumoniae Postsurgical or posttraumatic Staphylococcus aureus, S pneumoniae, gram-negative bacilli

Primary intentional healing which is true ?
Ans. is 'a' i.e., Neovascularization is maximum by day 5Skin wound healingSkin wounds are classically described to heal by primary or secondary intention.A. Healing by primary intention It occurs in wounds with opposed edges, e.g., surgical incision.The healing process follows a series of sequantial steps : ?Immediate after incision Incisional space filled with blood containing .fibrin and blood cells.Dehydration of the surface clot forms scab that covers the wound.Within 24 hours Neutrophils appear at the margins of wound.In 24-48 hoursEpithelial cells move from the wound edges along the cut margin of dermis, depositing basement membrane components as they move.They fuse in the midline beneath the surface scab, producing a continuous but thin epithelium layer that closes the wound.By day 3Neutrophils are largely replaced by macrophages.Granulation tissue progressively invades the incision space.Collegen fibers now present in the margin but do not bridge the incision.By day 5Incisional space is largely filled with granulation tissue.Neovascularization is maximum.Collegen fibrils become more abundant and begin to bridge the incision.The epidermis recovers its normal thickness.During second weekLeukocytes and edema have disappeared.There is continued accumulation of collegen and proliferation of fibroblast.By the end offirst month Scar is made up of a cellular connective tissue devoid of inflammatory infiltrate covered now by intact epidermis.B. Healing by secondary intention It occurs in wounds with seperated edges in which there is more extensive loss of cells and tissue.Regeneration of parenchymal cells cannot completely restore the original architecture, and hence abundant granulation tissue grows.Healingby secondary from primary intention in several respects : Inflammatory reaction is more intense.Much larger amounts of granulation tissue are formed.Wound contraction occurs - Feature that most clearly differentiate secondary from primary healing.Permanent wound contraction requires the action of myolifibroblasts - Fibroblasts that have the ultrastructural characteristic of smooth muscle cells.

In one-stage Full mouth disinfection scaling is done in 2 visits within:
The oral cavity offers a range of different niches (mucosa, tongue, tonsils, saliva and teeth, etc.) where the bacteria can adhere and survive. The transmission of bacteria from one niche to another is likely to occur. If this transmissions occurs at high speed (nothing but translocation), it could jeopardize the outcome of periodontal therapy (because of reinfection). This can be prevented by 'One-stage Full mouth disinfection', which is nothing but scaling and root planning of all pockets in 2 visits within 24 hrs, in combination with tongue brushing with 1% chlorhexidine gel for 1 min, mouth rinsing with 0.2% chlorhexidine solution for 2 mins and subgingival irrigation of all pockets with 1% chlorhexidine gel. This concept was given by Quirynen

Hemotoxylin bodies seen in
Ref Robbins 9/e p218 Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is a multisystem auto- immune disease of protean manifestations and variable clinical behavior. Clinically, it is an unpredictable, remit- ting and relapsing disease of acute or insidious onset that may involve viually any organ in the body; however, it affects principally the skin, kidneys, serosal membranes, joints, and hea. Immunologically, the disease is associ- ated with an enormous array of autoantibodies, classically including antinuclear antibodies (ANAs). The clinical pre- sentation of SLE is so variable, with so many overlapping features with those of other autoimmune diseases (RA, polymyositis, and others), that it has been necessary to develop diagnostic criteria for SLE (Table 4-9). The diag- nosis is established by demonstration of four or more of the criteria during any interval of observation. Hematoxylin bodies are seen these are deposition of antigen antibody complexes in various tissues

Mother of a 10 year old male child is concerned that he appears smaller than other boys of his age. Intraoral examination reveals that the patient is in his mixed dentition stage. Permanent incisors and 1st molars are found to be present. Mandibular permanent canines are erupting and maxillary deciduous molars are present. Physical growth status of a child may vary from the chronologic age in many children, but it correlates well with skeletal age. Which is the best radiographic analysis to ascertain the skeletal age of this patient?
FISH MAN'S SKELETAL MATURITY INDICATORS Keonord S Fishman proposed a system for evaluation for skeletal maturation in 1982, Fishman made use of four anatomical sites located on the thumb, third finger, fifth finger and radius.  Note: Witt’s and Steiner’s analysis are cephalometric analysis and not a method to analyze skeletal age.  Demirjian’s system is a method of analysing dental age and not skeletal age.

Risk of congenital heart disease in first degree relative is
Ans. b (2 to 6%). (Ref. Nelson, Textbook of Paediatrics, 18th/pg. 1878)Congenital heart disease occurs in# 0.5 to 0.8% of live births.# 3 to 4 % of stillboms.# 10 to 25% of abortuses.# 2% of premature infants (except PDA)# 0.8% of normal population.# 2-6% after birth of a child with CHD or if parent affected.# 20-30% when 2 first-degree relatives have congenital heart disease.NOTE: Most congenital defects are well tolerated in the fetus because of the parallel nature of the fetal circulation. Even the most severe cardiac defects (hypoplastic left heart syndrome) can usually be well compensated for by the fetal circulation. It is only after birth when the fetal pathways (ductus arteriosus and foramen ovale) are closed that the full hemodynamic impact of an anatomic abnormality becomes apparent. One notable exception is the case of severe regurgitant lesions, most commonly of the tricuspid valve. In these lesions (Ebstein anomaly), the parallel fetal circulation cannot compensate for the volume load imposed on the right side of the heart. In utero heart failure, often with fetal pleural and pericardial effusions, and generalized ascites (nonimmune hydrops fetalis) may occur.

Cerebral malaria most commonly attends infection with which of the following
Cerebral malaria involves the clinical manifestations of Plasmodium falciparum malaria that induce changes in mental status and coma and is accompanied by fever. Without treatment, cerebral malaria is fatal in 24-72 hours and the moality ratio is between 25 to 50 percent. The common histopathologic finding is the sequestration of parasitized and nonparasitized red blood cells in cerebral capillaries and venules. Ref:- Baveja
