a. Upper (small) Head (I think this is the right answer)
b. Lower (large) Head

Don’t know any options

Is it Actinomyces israelii ? forms a molar tooth-shaped colonies.

pls help.
actually this question is absurd
considereing all choices, i would go for stomach.(pancreas exclusion being a gland) (me between b and e)

stomach has high cell turn over and gets replinished too ,we sometimes take smoked food too .......

what is everyones opinion on this question?

I think the exception is pancreas, 'cause it's less likelly to be related to direct or indirect exposure to the effects of smoking, it is somehow shielded, the bladder cancer can be caused by smoking, the other options are clearlly linked.


i found this online so voted against pancreas,i am not sure of the answer but

"Smoking has been identified as the single most significant independent risk factor associated with familial pancreatic carcinoma.

coxsackie cause degeneration of brain & other tissues. so i think ans would be a

i may be wrong,pls coorect me.
 
which is the most common site of metastasis of bronchogenic carcinoma.
which one is the commonest type (adenocarcinoma/sq cell carcinoma).
kaplan says its adeno & decks says it is sq.
plz tell me the ans as i searched in net but some site say adeno& some says sq.

which of the foll substances r considered to b chem mediators for vascular dilatation at initial phase of acute inflammation
a seratonin
b histamine
c bradykinin
d hyaluronidase

ans has been given as a b and c.but doesnt seratonin cause vasoconstriction????
 
praveena said:

b histamine
c bradykinin
d hyaluronidase
serotonin is a vasoconstrictor , in the intial phase histamine is the vascular dialator
in acute infl

techoic acid/100% sure
 
thanks i thot so too...but was a lil unsure abt the choice

a few more....

1.a bone lesion with radioopaque structures radiating from the periphery suggests...

a osteosarcoma
b osteoblastoma
c multiple myeloma
d giant cell tumor
e osteitis deformans

2.prevotella intermedia is first detectable in the oral cavity

a at birth
b by adolescence
c in the presence of dental caries
d immediately b4 periodontal disease
e long after pdl disease disappeares
 
one more....

which of the following represents classic microscopic lesion of rheumatoid arthiritis

a topus
b pannus
c aschoff bodies
d heberden node
e wire loop lesion


the key says b but y not c???
 
sorry guess i got carried away...
the answers obviously pannus.
 
Reduced renal blood flow can cause hypertension by which of the following?
1. Release of renin
2. Reflex vasoconstriction
3. Retention of potassium in blood
4. Increased output of epinephrine

1_ osteosarcoma :
2_it is present in normal flora of mouth,so ans shd be at birth but i read that mouth acquires adult type of flora at the end of 1 yr.[ correctme plz]
 
1)sun ray appearance ,osteosarc thats what they r askin
2 answer is adolesence,prevotella intermedia previously known as Bacteroides melaninogenicus subsp. intermedius) appears only in adolesence

just for information i would lke to add the following----

RENOVASCULAR HYPERTENSION -----is a secondary form of high blood pressure caused by a narrowing of the renal artery.
--Renal hypertension is the most common form of secondary hypertension
--There are two forms of renovascular hypertension--
1- atherosclerotic renovascular hypertension ---deposits narrow the artery, disrupting blood flow seen with men .
2-Renovascular hypertension caused by fibromuscular dysplasia In fibromuscular dysplasia, cells from the artery wall overgrow and cause a narrowing of the artery channel.seen with women

Narrowing of the renal artery reduces the flow of blood to the kidney,the kidney produces the protein renin. Renin is released into the blood stream. Through a series of steps, renin is converted into an enzyme that causes sodium (salt) retention and constriction of the arterioles. In addition to atherosclerotic and fibromuscular dysplasia, narrowing of the renal artery can be caused by compression from an injury or tumor, or by blood clots.
 
1- osteosarcoma
2-Prevotella intermedia is an obligatory anaerobe, black-pigmented, gram-negative rod that is frequently associated with periodontal disease: adult periodontitis, acute necrotizing ulcerative gingivitis, and pregnancy gingivitis. This organism is also involved in extraoral infections such as nasopharyngeal infection and intra-abdominal infection .It is found in plaque .

i guess the answer here is ----d-immediately b4 periodontal disease.
correct me if i am wrong.

puberty is the ans
bacteriodes include prevotella intermedia sub class

hi mekha ,can u give some references u look very confident abt ur answer!!!!!!!
 
styloid said:

ans -puberty

hey friend i cant give u the content which has copyright issues , search for it and you find it .
strept salivarius dominates(98%) -0 to 6 months
then mutants and sanguis in 6to 9months depending on tooth eruption because it needs gingival crevice
infants oral flora is similar to the mother .

bacteriodes and spirochetes comes late in life in puberty (teenage).prevotella was considered a subclass of bacteriodes melaninogenicus ,now known as prevotella intermedia .

I double checked ,prevotella is seen in eop(early onset peridontitis) and adult peridodontitis ,true , ,if we want to isolate it u have to go to a pathological site in the body , just to prove these r normal habitats in mucosal surface i am quoting this from a reputed site .


Anaerobes that are part of the indigenous flora of the oral cavity can be recovered from various infections adjacent to that area, such as infectious cervical lymphadenitis,subcutaneous abscesses and infected burns in proximity to the oral cavity; infected human and animal bites paronychia; tonsillar and retropharyngeal abscesses chronic sinus infection. chronic otitis media; periodontal abscess ,infectious thyroiditis. aspiration pneumonia,empyema and bacteremia associated with one of the above infections.The predominant anaerobes recovered from these infections are species of anaerobic gram-negative bacilli (including pigmented Prevotella and Porphyromonas , Prevotella oralis and other Prevotella species, and Fusobacterium ) and gram-positive anaerobic cocci ( Peptostreptococcus species), which are all part of the normal flora of the mucosal surfaces of the oral, pharyngeal, and sinus cavities .

as u said " if it is immediately before periodontal disease " ,imagine just before periodontal patho, prevotella comes and camps and cause this!!,where does prevotella come from then?

so u decide which is good for you!!!
:thumbup:
 
I agree with Mekha, since prevotella is a characteristical microorganism of juvenile-puberty periodontitis.

The exception is urinary bladder.In Kaplan it is written that smoking causes carcinoma of Pancreas.This ques came in exam Dec 5.n I wrote pancreas just by reading ur discussion but it is wrong

ans for this is stomach. as in kaplan smoking is one of the reason of bladder carcinoma.
 
can u specify which page or which portion it comes ,i couldnt find it , i thought too it was stomach , but never found in kaplan
help me here

thank you

yes u r right for stomach it is not written . i read in decks which says that all other options r related to smoking except the stomach.so thats why i said it is a stomach.

as far as i know stomach has the highest turn over rate (replinishing capacity)

so i thought it wont be , well stomach and urinary bladder seems so narrow i would go for stomach .


another doubt which cause the highest mortality in peptic ulcer ?
is it bleeding or perforation

do u know whats the answer
help me out
thanks
 
hello new question let me thinking came in my last board pat sect. which is the firts concert in a pt who is quadroplegy after two hour in the dental chair choices were very weir: spasticity , orinary incontenence ,blood circulation,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,let me kwon what do you thing and why?
 
1) a
2) B

correct me if Iam wrong.

I think it is perforation

thanks for correction,Actually smoking causes gastritis.
 
in peptic ulcer . death is more bec of perforation than bleeding.
