Encopresis is defined as passage of stools in clothes beyond an age when bowel control should have been achieved (usually 4 years). It may be retentive (associated with constipation) or non-retentive, primary (never achieved bowel control) or secondary (loss of control after an initial phase of control for at least 6 months). Primary encopresis is usually associated with constipation, while secondary is associated with significant psychological stressors. Behavioral therapy with positive reinforcement and treatment of constipation are necessary. Ref : Nelson paediatrics chapter : Groth and de

Which of the following statements is true regarding menorrhagia?
Heavy and regularly timed episodes of bleeding
Heavy and irregularly timed episodes of bleeding
Amount of bleeding greater than 50 ml
Duration of bleeding greater than 3 days
0a
multi
Menorrhagia is defined as heavy but regular menstrual bleeding. Menorrhagia denotes regularly timed episodes of bleeding that are excessive in amount (>80mL) and/or duration of flow (>7 days) According to the recent update, the term heavy menstrual bleeding has replaced menorrhagia. Hemoglobin concentration below 12 g/dL increase the chance of identifying women with heavy menstrual bleeding. A normal level, however, doesnot exclude heavy menstrual bleeding, as many women with clinically significant bleeding have normal values. All patients should undergo a pelvic examination and, if the menstrual pattern has changed substantially or if anemia is present, a vaginal sonography should be carried out as the most impoant supplemental examination. Vaginal sonography combined with an endometrial biopsy is a reliable method for diagnosing endometrial hyperplasia or carcinoma, but it is insufficient for diagnosing endometrial polyps and fibroids; these can be diagnosed more reliably by sonohysterography or hysteroscopy. Appropriate treatment considerably improves the quality of life of the patients. Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs and tranexamic acid reduce menstrual blood loss by 20-60% Drug treatment should be used and evaluated before surgical interventions are considered.

Water deprivation
0a
single
The syndrome of inappropriate antidiuretic hormone secretion (SIADH) involves the continued secretion or action of arginine vasopressin (AVP) despite normal or increased plasma volume. The resulting impairment of water secretion and consequent water retention produces the hyponatremia (ie, serum Na+ < 135 mmol/L) with concomitant hypo-osmolality (serum osmolality < 280 mOsm/kg) and high urine osmolality that are the hallmark of SIADH. The key to understanding the pathophysiology, signs, symptoms, and treatment of SIADH is the awareness that the hyponatremia results from an excess of water rather than a deficiency of sodium. Depending on the magnitude and rate of development, hyponatremia may or may not cause symptoms. The history should take into account the following considerations: In general, slowly progressive hyponatremia is associated with fewer symptoms than is a rapid drop of serum sodium to the same value Signs and symptoms of acute hyponatremia do not precisely correlate with the severity or the acuity of the hyponatremia Patients may have symptoms that suggest increased secretion of AVP, such as chronic pain, symptoms from central nervous system or pulmonary tumors or head injury, or drug use Sources of excessive fluid intake should be evaluated The chronicity of the condition should be considered Ref Harrison20th edition pg 288

A 60-year-old woman noticed an enlarging "bump" beneath her tongue for the past year. She does not smoke or use alcohol. On physical examination, there is a 2.5-cm, movable, submucosal mass arising in the minor salivary glands on the buccal mucosa beneath the tongue on the right. Histologic examination of the excised mass shows that it is malignant and locally invasive. The tumor recurs within 1 year. Which of the following is the most likely diagnosis?
Non-Hodgkin lymphoma
Mucoepidermoid carcinoma
Primitive neuroectodermal tumor
Pleomorphic adenoma
1b
multi
Mucoepidermoid carcinomas can arise in major and minor salivary glands. They account for most neoplasms that arise within minor salivary glands, particularly malignant neoplasms. Low-grade mucoepidermoid carcinomas may be invasive, but the prognosis is usually good, with a 5-year survival of 90%. High-grade mucoepidermoid carcinomas can metastasize and have a 5-year survival of only 50%. Non- Hodgkin lymphomas are found in adjacent cervical lymph nodes or in the Waldeyer ring of lymphoid tissue. A primitive neuroectodermal tumor, also known as an olfactory neuroblastoma, is a small, round, blue cell tumor of childhood; it is likely to arise in the nasopharyngeal region. Pleomorphic adenomas are more common in the major salivary glands than are mucoepidermoid tumors, and they are more likely to be indolent. Squamous cell carcinomas are invasive and arise in the buccal mucosa. Warthin tumors are uncommon and indolent.

Ans. is 'a' i.e., Chronic osteomyelitis Sequestrectomy and curettage for chronic osteomyelitis* Sequestrectomy and curettage require more time toperform and result in considerably more blood loss than aninexperienced surgeon would anticipate. Consequently,appropriate preparation should be made before surgery.Sinus tracks can be injected with methylene blue 24 hoursbefore surgery to make them easier to locate and exciseTechnique:* Expose the infected area of bone, and excise all sinus tracts completely.* Incise the indurated periosteum, and elevate it 1.3 to2.5 cm on each side.* Use a drill to outline an oval cortical window at the appropriate site, and remove it with an osteotome.* Remove all sequestra, purulent material, and scarred and necrotic tissue. If sclerotic bone sealsoff a cavity within the medullary canal, open it into thecanal in both directions to allow blood vessels to growinto the cavity. Use a high-speed burr to debride necrotic or ischemic bone until the "paprika sign" (active punctate bleeding bone) is achieved, indicating healthy tissue.Tissue obtained at surgical debridement should be sentfor culture and pathology studies.* After removing all suspicious matter, carefully excise the overhanging edges of bone. Subsequent dead space can be filled with antibiotic PMMA beads. A soft tissue, a localmuscle flap, or a free tissue transfer can be performed atthe time of bead removal.* If there is nonunion with any bony instability, the bonemust be stabilized, preferably with an Ilizarov-type external frame.* If possible, close the skin loosely over drains and ensurethat no excessive skin tension is present. If closure isimpossible, pack the wound open loosely or apply an antibiotic bead pouch and plan for delayed closure or skingrafting at a later time.* Appropriate antibiotics should be used before, during, and after the operation.

Zenker's diveiculum False diveiculum Formed by herniation of mucosa at junction of pharynx & esophagus in posterior hypopharyngeal wall. Features Halitosis Regurgitation of previous day food If diveiculum fills completely with food,can cause dysphagia or obstruction of esophagus. Mallory-Weiss tear (option A) - Mucosal tear below gastroesophageal junction secondary to repeated, forceful vomiting; often seen in alcoholics. Schatzki rings (option C) are mucosal rings found in distal esophagus at squamocolumnar junction. Traction diveicula (option D)- In contrast to a Zenker's diveiculum, this is usually asymptomatic & are true diveicula involving all of layers of esophagus. They are typically caused by adherence of esophagus to scarred mediastinal structure.

multi
Deficiency of 17 alpha hydroxylase leads to increased production of aldosterone. Progesterone synthesised from cholestrole is normally acted upon by 21 alpha hydroxylase which is fuher conveed to coicosterone and aldosterone . Some amount of progesterone is channeled to production of coisol and estradiol by the action of 17 alpha hydroxylase through a separate pathway. So in the absence of 17 alpha hydroxylase progesterone is entirely channeled to the production of aldosterone by the action of 21 alpha hydroxylase Reference: Ghai TB of pediatrics 8th edition pg 527 fig 17.11

Ans. is 'a' i.e., B lymphocytes o B-cells are able to make a specific antibody against a specific antigen. It is due to present of specific receptor on B-cells - B-cell receptor (BCR), that is usually an immunoglobulin Ig M or Ig D. An antigen interacts with B-cell that shows best fit by virtue of its BCR. The antigen binds to this receptor, and the B-cell is stimulated to divide and form a clone (clonal selection). This clone of cells will become plasma cells that will secretes antibody of a particular specificity and same class.o Although, B-cells are the major source of antibodies (after their conversion into plasma cells). Helper - T cells are also important. Helper T-cells activate B-cells by secreting cytokines (lymphokines). These lvmphokines than stimulate the specific clone of B-cells to differentiate into plasma cells (clonal selection)Antigen exposure|Antigen presenting cells present this antigen to helper T cells|T cells are activated|Secretion of lymphokine by T-cells|B-cells that carrv BCR specific to that antigen are. stimulated (clonal selection)|B-cells proliferate and differentiate in to plasma cells|Plasma cells synthesize an immunoglobulin of same specificity as that carried by the B-cell precursors

H. simplex encephalitis (type I virus): Acyclovir 10 to 20 mg/kg/8 hr i.v. for ;?.10 days is the drug of choice. Treatment is effective only if staed early: delay precludes salutary effect on moality and neurological complications. 4. H. simplex (type I) keratitis: Acyclovir is equally effective as idoxuridine in superficial dendritic corneal ulcer, and may be better for deep stromal infections because of good corneal penetration. Though acyclovir eye ointment acts slower than idoxuridine eye drops, blindness can be prevented. The eye ointment should be applied 5 times daily till 3 days after healing. 5. Herpes zoster: The varicella-zoster virus is less susceptible to acyclovir. As such, higher doses are needed and it should be used only in immunodeficient individuals or in severe cases: 10 mg/ kg/8 hr i.v. for 7 days. 6. Chickenpox: in patients with immunodeficiency and in neonates only calls for specific therapy. Acyclovir (15 mg/kg/day i.v. x 7 days) is the drug of choice: reduces fever, eruptions, hastens healing and prevents visceral complications ESSENTIALS OF MEDICAL PHARMACOLOGY K.D.TRIPATHI SIXTH EDITION PAGE NO:768,769

Henoch schonlein purpura : It is one of the most common vasculitic disorder of childhood. Characterised by the presence of nonthrombocytopenic , palpable purpura, transient ahralgia and abdominal symptoms. The illness begins with a rash more prominent over the extensor aspects of lower extremities and buttocks. It may be macular, maculopapular or even uicarial to begin with . Glomerulonephritis seen in one third of cases. Gastrointestinal manifestations usually occur in first 7-10 days if illness. Abdominal pain is intermittent, colicky and periumbilical.vomitingseen , whereas melena and hemetemesis are less common. Rare manifestations include CNS vasculitis, coma, Guillain Barre syndrome, pulmonary hemorrhage, carditis and orchitis. Criteria for childhood HSP:- Palpable purpura in the presence of at least one of the following 4 features: 1. Diffuse abdominal pain. 2. Any deposit showing IgA deposition. 3. Ahritis/Ahralgia. 4. Renal involvement. Investigation: Nonspecific rise in total serum IgA levels. Skin biopsy shows leukocytoclastic vasculitis. On indirect immunofluorescence there are mesangial deposits of IgA andC3 in skin and renal biopsy. Reference: GHAI essential Paediatrics

Stress Class 3: Nonmodifiable risk factors. 17. Age 18. Male gender 19. Family history of CAD Alpha-2-Macroglobulin (AMG) AMG is a tetrameric protein with a molecular weight of 725 kD. It is the major component of alpha-2 globulins. It is synthesized by hepatocytes and macrophages. AMG inactivates all proteases and is impoant in vivo anti-coagulant. AMG is the carrier of many growth factors such as platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF). Normal serum level is 130-300 mg/dl. Its concentration is markedly increased (up to 2-3 g/dl) in Nephrotic syndrome, where other proteins are lost through urine.Ref: DM Vasudevan - Textbook of Biochemistry, 8th edition, page no: 294, 335
