The bleeding time is 12 minutes (normal 3-9 minutes). What is most appropriate way to control her bleeding?\n###Options:\nA. Factor VIII concentrate\nB. Fresh frozen plasma\nC. Desmopressin (DDAVP)\nD. Whole blood transfusion\n", "role": "user" }, { "content": "###Rationale: This woman's lifelong history of excessive bleeding suggests an inherited bleeding problem, as does the positive family history. The prolonged PTT indicates a deficiency of factors VIII, IX, XI, or XII, but the commonest of these deficiencies (classic hemophilia A and Christmas disease, or hemophilia B) are vanishingly rare in women. Furthermore, the continued oozing from dental sites and the absence of ecchymoses or hemarthroses suggest a platelet function disorder, as does the prolonged bleeding time. Von Willebrand disease is an autosomal dominant condition that leads to both platelet and factor VIII dysfunction and is the likeliest diagnosis in this patient. Although factor VIII concentrates can be used for life-threatening bleeding, most will respond to desmopressin, which raises the von Willebrand factor level in the most common form (the so- called type 1 form) of this disease. Mild von Willebrand disease is fairly common (1 in 250 individuals). Fresh frozen plasma and whole blood are much less effective ways to deliver factor YIII. Platelet transfusion would not be as effective as correction of the von Willebrand factor level.\n\n###Answer: OPTION C IS CORRECT.", "role": "assistant" } ]

The reduced schematic eye treats the eye as if it were a single refracting element consisting of an ideal spherical surface separating two media of refractive indices of 1.00 (air in external environment) and 1.33 (eye as a whole). So, in reduced eye, the entire system (of eye) can be regarded as one lens with one optical centre which lies in the posterior pa of crystalline lens. The diopteric power of reduced eye is + 60D, of which + 44D is contributed by cornea and + 16D by the crystalline lens. Reduced eye concept was introduced by Listing, therefore, it is also referred to as Listing's reduced eye.\n\n###Answer: OPTION B IS CORRECT.", "role": "assistant" } ]

Therefore, affected individuals have a decreased ability to absorb zinc from dietary sources. Absence of a binding ligand needed to transport zinc may further contribute to zinc malabsorption.* Clinical manifestations include diarrhea, alopecia, muscle wasting, depression, irritability, and a rash involving the extremities, face, and perineum. The rash is characterized by vesicular and pustular crusting with scaling and erythema.* Features of acrodermatitis enteropathica start appearing in the first few months of life, if mother discontinues breast milk.Deficiency and toxicity of several metalsPhosphorus ElementDeficiencyToxicityTolerable Upper (Dietary) Intake LevelBoronNo biologic function determinedDevelopmental defects, male sterility, testicular atrophy20mg/d (extrapolated from animal data)CalciumReduced bone mass, osteoporosisRenal insufficiency (milk-alkali syndrome) nephrolithiasis, impaired iron absorption, thiazide diuretics.2500 mg/d (milk alkali)CopperAnemia, growth retardation, defective keratinization and pigmentation of hair, hypothermia, degenerative changes in aortic elastin, osteopenia, mental deterioration.Nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, hepatic failure, tremor, mental deterioration, hemolytc anemia, renal dysfunction10 mg/d (liver toxicity)ChromiumImpaired glucose toleranceOccupational',Renal failure, dermatitis, pulmonary cancerNot determinedFluoride|Dental cariesDental and skeletal flurosis, osteosclerosis10 mg/d (Blurosis)IodineThyroid enlargement, |T4 cretinismThyroid dysfunction, acne-like eruptions.1100 mg/d (thyroid dysfunction)IronMuscle abnormalities, koilonychia, pica anemia, |work performance, impaired cognitive development, premature labor, |perinatal maternal deathGastrointestinal effects, (nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, constipation), iron overload with organ damage, acute and chronic systemic toxicity, increased susceptibility to malaria, increased risk association with certain chronic diseases (e.g. diabetes)45 mg/d of elemental Iron (gastrointestinal side effects)ManganeseImpaired growth and skeletal development reproduction, lipid and carbohydrate metabolism, upper body rashGeneral: Neurotoxicity, Parkinson-like symptoms Occupational: Encephalitis like syndrome, Parkinson like syndrome, psychosis, pneumoconiosis.11 mg/d (neurotoxicity)MolybdenumSevere neurologic abnormalitiesReproductive and fetal abnormalities2mg/d (extrapolated from animal data)SeleniumCardiomyopathy, heart failure, striated muscle degenerationGeneral: Alopecia , nausea, vomiting, abnormal nails, emotional400 pg/d (hair, nail changes)PhosphorusRickets (osteomalacia) proximal muscle weakness, rhabdomyolysis, paresthesia, ataxia, seizure confusion, heart failure, hemolysis acidosis.Hyperphosphatemia4000 mg/dZincGrowth retardation, |taste and smell alopecia, dermatitis, diarrhea, immune dysfunction, failure to thrive, gonasal atrophy, congenital malfomations.General: Reduced copper, absorption, gastritis, sweating fever,nausea, vomitingOccupational; Respiratory distress, pulmonary fibrosis40 mg/d (impaired copper metabolism)\n\n###Answer: OPTION B IS CORRECT.", "role": "assistant" } ]
