-------------------------------------
Somebody(sony) asked me for explanation to question 44, here it goes :

The question : 35year - female - 8 months of secondary amenorrhea. Last child birth 2 years ago. pregnancy test - negative. thyroid function tests - normal. estrogens decreased. FSH - high. most probable diagnosis ?
a.asherman syndrome
b.polycystic ovarian disease
c.premature ovarian failure
d.sheehan syndrome

explanation : asherman syndrome is a condition where there are uterine synechiae, most commonly secondary to infection, that arrest the menstrual blood from flowing out of the uterus leading to secondary amenorrhea. this condition is not related to the ovaries(estrogen producer) or FSH producer (pituitary)  in anyway and so there is no way that the estrogen and FSH levels will be affected. PCOD is a condition where the ratio of LH/FSH is increased and so naturally the FSH levels will be low rather than high.PCOD is more over a disease of young unmarried girls, where both the androgens and estrogens (all 3 combined) will be increased. postpartum pituitary apoplexy, also called sheehan syndrome affects the pituitary gland, which leads to altered prolactin levels, that are not seen in this case. so the answer is premature ovarian failure. (This is for you SONY, sorry for the delay of 8 months ;-))

418 - AP PG 2011 (Andhra pradesh) OBSTETRICS questions with answers

1q: The rate of production of which of the following hormone is highest during pregnancy?
a. HCG
b. HPL
c. Progesterone
d. Estradiol


READ THE BELOW LINES FROM WILLIAMS OBSTETRICS 22ND EDITION :

There are five genes in the growth hormone–placental lactogen gene cluster that are linked and located on chromosome 17. Two of these genes, hPL2 and hPL3, both encode hPL, and the amount of mRNA in the term placenta is similar for each. In contrast, the prolactin gene is located on chromosome 6 (Owerbach and colleagues, 1980, 1981). The production rate of hPL near term, about 1 g/day, is the greatest, by far, of any known hormone in humans.

2q: Which of the following has the highest carbohydrate content?
a. HCG
b. HPL
c. Human pregnancy specific beta glycoprotein
d.


Read the below lines taken from WILLIAMS OBSTETRICS 22ND EDITION :

Chorionic gonadotropin is a glycoprotein (molecular weight 36,000 to 40,000 d) with the highest carbohydrate (30 percent) content of any human hormone. The carbohydrate component, and especially the terminal sialic acid, protects the molecule from catabolism. The 36-hour plasma half-life of intact hCG is much longer than the 2 hours for LH. The hCG molecule is composed of two dissimilar subunits, designated (92 amino acids) and (145 amino acids), which are noncovalently linked. They are held together by electrostatic and hydrophobic forces that can be separated in vitro. Isolated subunits are unable to bind the LH receptor and thus lack biological activity.

415 - AP PG 2011 (Andhra pradesh) ANATOMY questions with answers

1q: All of the following muscles are part of rotator cuff except
a. Deltoid
b. Supraspinatus
c. Infraspinatus
d. Teres minor


2q: All of the following are branches of celiac trunk except
a. Left gastric artery
b. Common hepatic artery
c. Splenic artery
d. Superior mesenteric artery


3q: All of the following are seen in the greater wing of sphenoid except
a. Foramen ovale
b. Foramen spinosum
c. Foramen rotundum
d. Optic canal


The superior or cerebral surface of each greater wing forms part of the middle cranial fossa; it is deeply concave, and presents depressions for the convolutions of the temporal lobe of the brain. It has a number of foramina (holes) in it:
The foramen rotundum is a circular aperture at its anterior and medial part; it transmits the maxillary nerve.
The foramen ovale is behind and lateral to this; it transmits the mandibular nerve, the accessory meningeal artery, and sometimes the lesser petrosal nerve.
The sphenoidal emissary foramen is occasionally present; it is a small aperture medial to the foramen ovale, opposite the root of the pterygoid process; it opens below near the scaphoid fossa, and transmits a small vein from the cavernous sinus.
The foramen spinosum, in the posterior angle near to and in front of the spine; it is a short canal which transmits the middle meningeal vessels and a recurrent branch from the mandibular nerve.

The lateral surface is convex, and divided by a transverse ridge, the infratemporal crest, into two portions.
The superior temporal surface, convex from above downward, concave from before backward, forms a part of the temporal fossa, and gives attachment to the temporalis;
the inferior infratemporal surface, smaller in size and concave, enters into the formation of the infratemporal fossa, and, together with the infratemporal crest, serves as an attachment to the lateral pterygoid muscle.
It is pierced by the foramen ovale and foramen spinosum, and at its posterior part is the sphenoidal spine, which is frequently grooved on its medial surface for the chorda tympani nerve.
To the sphenoidal spine are attached the sphenomandibular ligament and the tensor veli palatini muscle.
Medial to the anterior extremity of the infratemporal crest is a triangular process which serves to increase the attachment of the lateral pterygoid muscle; extending downward and medialward from this process on to the front part of the lateral pterygoid plate is a ridge which forms the anterior limit of the infratemporal surface, and, in the articulated skull, the posterior boundary of the pterygomaxillary fissure.

4q: All of the following are included in basal ganglia except
a. Lenticular nucleus
b. Globus pallidus
c. Thalamus
d. Claustrum


The claustrum, which is suspected to be present in all mammals, is a fairly thin (fraction of 1 mm to multiple mms) vertical curved sheet of subcortical gray matter oriented sagittally between the white matter tracts of the external capsule and extreme capsule. The Claustrum is lateral to the putamen and medial to the insular cortex and is considered by some sources to be part of the basal ganglia. There are lateral and medial tracts connecting to many cortices and perhaps to the hippocampus, the amygdala, and the caudate nucleus (connections with subcortical centers are a matter of debate).
