101. Spondylolisthesis - which of these you would not do :

A. CT scan
B. MRI
C. lumbar region x-ray- AP view
D. lumbar region x-ray - lateral view

Explanation:
I personally think the answer is C. About the other options, CT scan generally gives axial sections of the spine, by which the anterior movement of one vertebra over other is difficult to assess. However, there is 3D imaging option in CT which helps us to image the spine in all the planes (coronal,sagittal etc) by which spondylolisthesis can be detected. The MRI is always the gold standard for any spine pathologies because of its varied techniques and varied planes of visualization. The lumbar spine lateral view X-ray gives us a very clear indication of the spondylolisthesis by easily demonstrating the anterior movement of one vertebral body over other and disturbing the anterior and posterior vertebral lines.AP lumbar region x-ray is the least useful of the options given below, because it is difficult to assess spondylolisthesis, when you are looking at the spine anteroposteriorly or posteroanteriorly. So the answer is C.

85.Alzheimer's disease is associated with all of these except :
a.acalculia
b.aphasia
c.apraxia
d.agnosia

EXPLANATION: (Read the below lines from Harrison 18th edition) :
The cognitive changes of Alzheimer's disease(AD) tend to follow a characteristic pattern, beginning with memory impairment and spreading to language and visuospatial deficits. Yet, approximately 20% of patients with AD present with nonmemory complaints such as word-finding, organizational, or navigational difficulty. In the early stages of the disease, the memory loss may go unrecognized or be ascribed to benign forgetfulness. Once the memory loss becomes noticeable to the patient and spouse and falls 1.5 standard deviations below normal on standardized memory tests, the term MCI is applied. This construct provides useful prognostic information, because approximately 50% of patients with MCI (roughly 12% per year) will progress to AD over 4 years. Slowly the cognitive problems begin to interfere with daily activities, such as keeping track of finances, following instructions on the job, driving, shopping, and housekeeping. Some patients are unaware of these difficulties (anosognosia), while others remain acutely attuned to their deficits. Changes in environment (such as vacations or hospital stays) may be disorienting, and the patient may become lost on walks or while driving. In the middle stages of AD, the patient is unable to work, is easily lost and confused, and requires daily supervision. Social graces, routine behavior, and superficial conversation may be surprisingly intact. Language becomes impaired—first naming, then comprehension, and finally fluency. In some patients, aphasia is an early and prominent feature. Word-finding difficulties and circumlocution may be a problem even when formal testing demonstrates intact naming and fluency. Apraxia emerges, and patients have trouble performing learned sequential motor tasks. Visuospatial deficits begin to interfere with dressing, eating, or even walking, and patients fail to solve simple puzzles or copy geometric figures. Simple calculations and clock reading become difficult in parallel.

68. Ossification centre first appears at –
a.end of 2nd month
b.beginning of 2nd month
c.end of 3rd month
d.beginning of 3rd month

Explanation:
Ossification centres appear over a long period during bone growth, many in embryonic life, some in prenatal life, and others well into the postnatal growing period. Initially microscopic, the ossification centres soon become macroscopic and their growth can then be followed by radiological and other scanning techniques. Many bones, including carpal, tarsal, lacrimal, nasal, and zygomatic bones, inferior nasal conchae and auditory ossicles, ossify from a single centre. Even in this limited group, centres appear between the eighth intrauterine week and the tenth year, a wide sequence for studying growth or estimating age.
However, most bones ossify from several centres, one of which appears in late embryonic or early fetal life (seventh week to fourth month), in the centre of the future bone.
Ossification progresses from the centres towards the ends, which are still cartilaginous at birth. These terminal regions ossify from separate centres, sometimes multiple, which appear between birth and the late teens, and so they are secondary to the earlier primary centre from which much of the bone ossifies. This is the pattern in long bones, as well as in some shorter elements such as the metacarpals and metatarsals, and in the ribs and clavicles.
-------------
From the above explanation i presumed the answer to be END OF 2ND MONTH.
-------------

Ultrasonographic signs of hypertrophic pyloric stenosis, originally described in 1977 and further defined, are as follows:
1.A MucosalThickness (serosa to mucosa) greater than 3 mm (a correlation between MT and the patient's age exists; the most reliable ultrasonographic sign is an MT greater than 3 mm. Because this measurement can be increased falsely with off-axis imaging, attention to technique is important.)
2.Target sign on transverse images of the pylorus.
3.Pyloric channel length greater than 17 mm
4.Pyloric thickness (serosa to serosa) of 15 mm or greater
5.Failure of the channel to open during a minimum of 15 minutes of scanning

OCTREOTIDE:

Currently, the most widely used somatostatin analog is octreotide (SANDOSTATIN), an 8-amino-acid synthetic derivative of somatostatin that has a longer half-life and binds preferentially to SSTR2 and SSTR5 receptors. Typically, octreotide (100 g) is administered subcutaneously three times daily; bioactivity is virtually 100%, peak effects are seen within 30 minutes, serum half-life is approximately 90 minutes, and duration of action is approximately 12 hours. The goal of treatment is to decrease GH levels to less than 2 ng/ml after an oral glucose tolerance test and to bring IGF-1 levels to within the normal range for age and gender. Depending on the biochemical response, higher or lower octreotide doses may be used in individual patients. In addition to its effect on GH secretion, octreotide can decrease tumor size—although tumor growth generally resumes after octreotide treatment is stopped. Octreotide also has significant inhibitory effects on thyrotropin secretion, and it is the treatment of choice for patients who have thyrotrope adenomas that oversecrete TSH and who are not good candidates for surgery. Gastrointestinal side effects—including diarrhea, nausea, and abdominal pain—occur in up to 50% of patients receiving octreotide. In most patients, these symptoms diminish over time and do not require cessation of therapy. Approximately 25% of patients receiving octreotide develop gallstones, presumably due to decreased gallbladder contraction and gastrointestinal transit time. In the absence of symptoms, gallstones are not a contraindication to continued use of octreotide. Compared to somatostatin, octreotide reduces insulin secretion to a lesser extent and only infrequently affects glycemic control. The need to inject octreotide three times daily poses a significant obstacle to patient compliance. A long-acting, slow-release form (SANDOSTATIN LAR) is a more convenient alternative that can be administered intramuscularly once every 4 weeks; the recommended dose is 20 or 30 mg. The long-acting preparation is at least as effective as the regular formulation and is used in patients who have responded favorably to a trial of the shorter-acting formulation of octreotide. Like the shorter-acting formulation, the longer-acting formulation of octreotide generally is well tolerated and has a similar incidence of side effects (predominantly gastrointestinal and/or discomfort at the injection site) that do not require cessation of therapy.
