Devarshi One marker Flashcards
Paul Bunnell test
The Paul Bunnell test is used to screen for Infectious Mononucleosis (IM), which is seen most commonly in adolescents and young adults.
Rh hump is seen in
The ring of hypoplasia present on the maxillary canines has been referred to as the “Rh hump,” since it is present in that form of erythroblastosis fetalis (Watson 1955).
Mosaic pattern is a characteristic histological feature of
The mosaic pattern is a characteristic CT appearance for hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC).
Arrested Caries
Arrested caries are dark discolored inactive caries, and require no restorative treatment unless they affect form, function, or esthetics.
Phoenix abscess
A phoenix abscess is an acute exacerbation of a chronic periapical lesion. It is a dental abscess that can occur immediately following root canal treatment. Another cause is due to untreated necrotic pulp. It is also the result of inadequate debridement during the endodontic procedure.
What is Pink disease?
Pink disease (infantile acrodynia) was especially prevalent in the first half of the 20th century. Primarily attributed to exposure to mercury (Hg) commonly found in teething powders, the condition was developed by approximately 1 in 500 exposed children.
Dry socket
A painful dental condition occurring after an adult tooth is removed.
Dry socket can occur three to four days after an adult tooth is removed. The blood clot that should form after removal is dislodged or dissolved before the wound heals, exposing underlying bone and nerves.
Lipschutz bodies are seen in
Lipschutz bodies are primarily associated with viral infections, particularly those caused by herpes simplex virus (HSV) and varicella-zoster virus (VZV). These infections can lead to various diseases depending on the specific virus and site of infection.
Hair on end appearance is seen in
“hair on end” appearance can be seen on radiographs is thalassemia.
Codmans triangle radiographically is seen in which pathologic lesion
The radiographic finding of a “Codman triangle” is typically seen in aggressive bone lesions such as osteosarcoma, where it represents the periosteal reaction caused by the elevation of the periosteum from the underlying bone.
Auspitz sign is seen in
The Auspitz sign is commonly seen in psoriasis, where removal of psoriatic scales causes pinpoint bleeding, indicating the presence of dilated blood vessels (capillaries) in the affected skin.
What is acantholysis?
Acantholysis refers to the loss of intercellular connections (desmosomes) between epithelial cells, leading to the separation or detachment of these cells from each other. It is a characteristic feature seen in certain skin conditions, such as pemphigus vulgaris, where the immune system mistakenly attacks the desmosomes, resulting in the formation of blisters or erosions.
Bence johns protein is seen in
Bence Jones protein is a type of abnormal protein that can be found in the urine of individuals with multiple myeloma, a cancer of plasma cells. Its presence in urine is an important diagnostic marker for this disease.
What is kissing lesion
The term “kissing lesion” is used to describe a specific radiographic finding where corresponding bone abnormalities or defects are seen in two opposing surfaces that come into contact with each other. It can be observed in conditions such as osteoarthritis, where the adjacent joint surfaces can develop matching erosions or cysts due to repetitive friction and pressure.
Transparent dentin
Transparent dentin refers to a condition where the dentin, which is the layer of hard tissue beneath the enamel of a tooth, appears translucent or transparent instead of its normal opaque appearance.
