A high tracheostomy may be indicated in- | “It is important (in tracheostomy) to refrain from causing any damage in the region of cricoid cartilage.
An exception to this rule is when a patient has laryngeal malignancy and under these circumstances tracheostomy should be placed high so as to allow resection of tracheostomy site at the time of laryngectomy”.
“ The high tracheostomy is generally avoided because of the postoperative risk of peri-chondritis of the cricoid cartilage and subglottic stenosis.

Which steroid is formed from cholesterol without hydroxylation - | Cholesterol is first changed to form pregnenolone (common pathway). For this free cholesterol is released in the cytosol from cholesteryl esters of cytoplasmic lipid droplets and transferred into mitochondria. An enzyme called "cytochrome-P- 450-sidechain cleavage" enzyme (P450 sce) present in inner mitochondrial membrane hydroxylates cholesterol at C22 and C20 (also called "20, 22-desmolase") and then cleaves the side chain to form pregnenolone and isocaproic aldehyde. The enzyme requires molecular O2 and NADPH like all mono-oxygenases and also require FAD-containing Fp, a Fe2S2 protein (called adreno- doxin). Pregnenolone to 17-OH pregnenolone: Pregnenolone is transferred to smooth endoplasmic reticulum (ER), where it is conveed to 17-OH-pregneno- lone catalysed by the enzyme 17-aaa-hydroxylase. * Conversion of 17-OH pregnenolone to 17-OH progesterone: This is achieved by two enzymes, one is NAD+ dependent 3 bbb-OH-steroid dehydrogenase and the other is DDD4,5-isomerase. Alternatively, the same pregnenolone may be first conveed to 'progesterone' by the action of the two enzymes dehydrogenase and isomerase and it is acted upon by the enzyme 17-a-hydroxylase to form 17-OH progesterone. PROGESTERONE * Progesterone is the hormone of the corpus luteum, the structure which develops in the ovary from the ruptured Graafian follicle. It is also formed by the placenta, which secretes progesterone, during the later pa of pregnancy. Progesterone is also formed in the adrenal coex, as a precursor of both C19 and C21 coicosteroids. It is also formed in the testes. Chemistry: Progesterone may be regarded as a derivative of "pregnane" and is designated chemically as "4- pregnane-3, 20-dione". It is a C21 steroid and has a - CH3 group at C10 and C13. Biosynthesis: Progesterone has a role as an intermediate in the biogenesis of adrenocoical hormones and of androgens. Indirectly androstenedione and testosterone, it also serves as precursors for estrogens also. Progesterone is formed from acetate cholesterol, 'Pregnenolone' is the immediate precursor. Mechanism of action: It is similar to estrogen.Ref: Textbook of Medical Biochemistry, Eighth Edition, Dr (Brig) MN Chatterjea, page no: 590-591,603-604 | 1 | Progesterone | Glucocoicoid | Mineralocoicoid | Estradiol | Biochemistry | Metabolism of lipid | 6c5a3efb-77ce-4c5a-8e37-67573fc2d02a | single |

The main function of Vitamin C in the body is - | Ans. is 'c' i.e., Involvement as antioxidant Vitamin C ( Ascorbic acid)o Ascorbic acid (Vitamin C) is also called antiscorbutic factor. It is very heat labile, especially in basic medium. Ascorbic acid itself is an active form. Maximum amount of vitamin C is found in adrenal cortex,o Ascorbic acid functions as a reducing agent and scavanger of free radicals (antioxidant). Its major functions are:- In collagen synthesis: - Vitamin C is required for post-translational modification by hydroxylation of proline and lysine residues converting them into hydroxyproiine and hydroxy lysine. Thus vitamin C is essential for the conversion of procollagen to collagen, which is rich in hydroxyproiine and hydroxylysine. Through collagen synthesis, it plays a role in formation of matrix of bone, cartilage, dentine and connective tissue.Synthesis of norepineph rine from dopamine by dopamine-b-monoxygenase (dopamineb-hydroxylase) requires Vitamin C.Carnitine synthesisBile acid synthesis :- 7-a-hydroxylase requires vitamin C.Absorption of iron is stimulated by ascorbic acid by conversion of ferric to ferrous ions.During adrenal steroid synthesis, ascorbic acid is required during hydroxylation reactions.Tyrosine metabolism : - Oxidation of P-hydroxy-phenylpyruvate to homogentisate.Folate metabolism : - Folic acid is converted to its active form tetrahydrofolate by help of Vitamin C. | 3 | Coenzyme for energy metabolism | Regulation of lipid synthesis | Involvement as antioxidant | Inhibition of cell growth | Biochemistry | Vitamins | f7c6e673-3268-4c7a-abf2-dff2426a1ae0 | single |

Commonest operation done for gastric outlet obstruction with peptic ulcer is: March 2007 | Ans. A: Truncal vagotomy with gastrojejunostomyGastric outlet obstruction is manifested by obstruction at the level of the pylorus, which is the outlet of the stomach. Patients may develop vomiting, which may be projectile but non-bilious in nature, nausea or abdominal pain. An unusual finding that may lead to the diagnosis is the succussion splash, a splash-like sound heard over the stomach in the left upper quadrant of the abdomen on shaking the patient, with or without the stethoscope.The diagnosis is typically made by X-ray, which will show an absent air bubble in the stomach, or by CT scan.Causes of gastric outlet obstruction include peptic ulcer disease; tumours of the stomach, including adenocarcinoma (and its linitis plastica variant), lymphoma, and gastrointestinal stromal tumours; infections, such as tuberculosis; and infiltrative diseases, such as amyloidosis.Metabolic alkalosis may develop as a result of loss of acid.Traditionally severe cases of Gastric outlet obstruction are treated usually by a gastroenterostomy rather than a pyloroplasty. Truncal vagotomy leads to reduction of the maximal acid output by 50% as vagus nerves are sectioned which critically controls the secretion of gastric acid. | 1 | Truncal vagotomy with gastrojejunostomy | Truncal vagotomy with gastrojejunostomy | Highly selective vagotomy with pyloroplasty | Gastrojejunostomy | Surgery | null | 2e501882-c9cf-446d-a013-31be7b8922b9 | single |

Less commonly, HIV may be spread From mother to child during pregnancy, bih, or breastfeeding. Although the risk can be high if a mother is living with HIV and not taking medicine, recommendations to test all pregnant women for HIV and sta HIV treatment immediately have lowered the number of babies who are born with HIV. In extremely rare cases, HIV has been transmitted by Oral sex--putting the mouth on the penis (fellatio), vagina (cunnilingus), or anus (rimming). In general, there's little to no risk of getting HIV from oral sex. Receiving blood transfusions, blood products, or organ/tissue transplants that are contaminated with HIV. This was more common in the early years of HIV, but now the risk is extremely small because of rigorous testing of the blood supply and donated organs and tissues. Eating food that has been pre-chewed by an HIV-infected person. The contamination occurs when infected blood from a caregiver's mouth mixes with food while chewing. The only known cases are among infants. Being bitten by a person with HIV. Each of the very small number of documented cases has involved severe trauma with extensive tissue damage and the presence of blood. There is no risk of transmission if the skin is not broken. Contact between broken skin, wounds, or mucous membranes and HIV-infected blood or blood-contaminated body fluids. Deep, open-mouth kissing if both paners have sores or bleeding gums and blood from the HIV-positive paner gets into the bloodstream of the HIV-negative paner.

An absolute contraindication of MRI is: | Ans. is 'a' i.e. Automatic Cardioverter-defibrillators MR is considered among the safest imaging modalities for patients, even at very high field strengths, more than 3-4 tesla. But Ferromagnetic objects under magnetic field can be vulnerable to 4 adverse effects: Movement (causing structural injury), Current conduction (potentially causing electrical shock), Heating (possibly causing bum injury), and Artifact generation Serious injuries can be caused by attraction of ferromagnetic objects into the magnet, which would act as missiles if brought too close to the magnet. Ferromagnetic implants, such as aneurysm clips, may torque (turn or twist) due to the magnetic field, causing damage to vessels and even death. Metallic foreign bodies in the eye have moved and caused intraocular hemorrhage. Pacemakers and pacemaker leads are a contraindication, as the pacemaker can malfunction and cause arrhythmia or even death. However with growing expansion of MR, increasing number of implant medical devices are being MR safe. So newer pacemaker and aneurysm clips are being made which are MR safe. Absolute Contraindications for the MRI scan: Electronically, magnetically, and mechanically activated implants Ferromagnetic or electronically operated active devices like automatic cardioverter defibrillators Cardiac pacemakers- but there are pacemakers available from Medtronic which are safe in MRI environment but not so widely used. Metallic splinters in the eye Ferromagnetic hemostatic clips in the central nervous system (CNS) Patients with an implanted cardiac pacemaker have been scanned on rare occasions, but pacemakers are generally considered an absolute contraindication.

Pain is carried by the lateral STT whereas anterior STT carries the crude touch sensations.
Spinothalamic tracts carry sensations contra-laterally hence the area of sensation loss is to the opposite side of the lesion (Brown-Séquard syndrome).
Spinocerebellar tracts carry the unconscious proprioception, mainly from the lower limbs, towards the cerebellum and from the mossy fibers. They contribute archi-cerebellar fibers to the cerebellum.
Dorsal spinocerebellar fibers carry the information ipsilaterally and enter the inferior cerebellar peduncle to reach the cerebellum.
Ventral spinocerebellar tract carries the information contra-laterally and enters the cerebellum via superior cerebellar peducle.

Which of the following diuretics acts at the nephron's distal tubule? | The thiazide diuretics (e.g., hydrochlorothiazide, chlorothiazide, benzthiazide) promote diuresis by inhibiting reabsorption of NaCl, primarily in the early distal tubule. Ethacrynic acid and furosemide are both loop diuretics. They act by inhibiting electrolyte reabsorption in the thick ascending loop of Henle. Note that even if you didn't know where these agents act, if you knew that they both belonged to the same class of diuretics, you could have eliminated them both as possibilities since there can't be more than one correct answer choice.

Right Gastric Aery is a branch of : | Right gastric aery originates from the hepatic aery just distal to the origin of gastroduodenal aery. It turns to the left and runs upwards along the the lesser curvature of the stomach and ends by anastomosing with the left gastric aery which is a branch of the coeliac trunk. Coeliac trunk: Arises at the level of interveebral disc between T12 and L1 veebrae. It is an unpaired branch of the abdominal aoa that arises from its ventral/anterior aspect (front) just below the aoic opening of diagphragm. Branches: Left Gastric aery (Smallest branch) Common Hepatic aery Splenic Aery (Largest branch of trunk) Ends by anastomosing with right gastric aery (Right Gastric aery is a branch of the hepatic aery) Common hepatic aery is a direct branch of the celiac trunk till the origin of gastroduodenal aery. The pa distal to this origin is termed proper hepatic aery Sho gastric aeries (5-7) Left gastroepiploic aery Numerous pancreatic branches Aeria pancreaticamagna Aeria cauda pancreatic Splenic hila branches Common Hepatic aery gives off a branch called Gastroduodenal aery and continues as the Hepatic aery proper. Right gastric aery originates from the hepatic aery just distal to the origin of gastroduodenal aery. Thus the right gastric aery may be termed as a branch of the hepatic aery proper rather than the common hepatic aery.

Alkaptonuria is caused by defect in which of the following enzymes? | Alkaptonuria was first recognized and described in the 16th century. Characterized in 1859, it provided the basis for Garrod's classic ideas concerning heritable metabolic disorders. The defect is lack of homogentisate oxidase. The urine darkens on exposure to air due to oxidation of excreted homogentisate. Late in the disease, there is ahritis and connective tissue pigmentation (ochronosis) due to oxidation of homogentisate to benzoquinone acetate, which polymerizes and binds to connective tissue.
