The majority of breast disease originates from which part of the breast? [1]
Terminal ductal lobular unit
Intralobular duct
Lactiferous duct
Interlobular duct
The majority of breast disease originates from which part of the breast? [1]
Terminal ductal lobular unit
Intralobular duct
Lactiferous duct
Interlobular duct

What stimulates the release of GH? [3]
When is GH released? [3]
Sleep, exercise and hypoglycaemia
Release peaks during deep sleep, 3hrs after a meal and after exercise
Growth hormone deficiency characterised by? [3]
Growth hormone deficiency characterised by:
- decreased growth velocity
- delayed skeletal maturation
- in the absence of other explanations
**Normal birth weight and only slighly reduced length **
Normal growth: but after 7 / 8 years growth plateaus (regains after GH treatment)
Why does GH deficiency suggest that GH is only a minor contributor to intrauterine growth? [1]
Children with GHD have normal birth weight and only slightly reduced length
If you have short stature or decreased growth rate - what would screening studies try and rule out / discover? [2]
If no findings were found for ^, what would you diagnose? [1]
Growth Hormone Deficiency
Another underlying disease
No findings of GHD: Idiopathic short stature
What type of drug is oxandrolone and what does it help to treat? [1]
Androgen anoblic steroid: can improve height in Tuner syndrome; but not for ISS
Name two types of ISS [2]
constitutional growth delay
familial short stature

Puberty starts in 95%:
Girls between 8 -13 years
Boys between 9-14 years

5 years
7 years
8 years
9 years
What would the precocious puberty be classified as in girls [1] and boys? [1]
What is most common cause? [1]
Reach Tanner stage 2 before age of 8 (female) or 9 (male)
Most common cause is premature production of GnRH (stage 2)
How do you treat precocious puberty? [1]
Give GnRH to overstimulate pituitary and desensitised and stops producing gonadotrophins
At what stage of James Tanner puberty is irreversible to treatment for precocious puberty? [1]
Stage 3
What would an individual with low or normal serum LH and FSH levels but a normal growth rate be likely to suffering from? [1]
GnRH deficiency or Constitutional delay of growth and puberty (CDGP)
What would an individual with low or normal serum LH and FSH levels but a slow growth rate be likely to suffering from? [1]
Functional hypogonadotropic hypogonadism
What would an individual with elevated serum LH and FSH levels after 13 /14 years be suffering from? [1]
Primary hypogonadism
What are the 3 potential causes of functional hypogonadotropic hypogonadism?
If have a low BMI? [1]
If have a normal BMI? [3]
If have a high BMI? [1]
What are the 3 potential causes of functional hypogonadotropic hypogonadism?
If have a low BMI: GI disorder (underfeeding)
If have a normal BMI: hypothyroidsm; hyper-PRL; GHD
If have a high BMI: Iatrogenic (corticoids)
Define impairment, disability and handicap [3]
Impairment: any loss or abnormality of psychological, physiological or anatomical structure or function. ( e.g. paralysis of the legs)
Disability: any restriction or lack (resulting from impairment) of ability to perform an activity in the manner or within the range considered normal for a human being. (e.g. Inability to walk)
Handicap: the impact of the impairment or disability on the person’s pursuit or achievement of the goals which are desired by him/her or expected of him/her by society. (e.g. unable to work in a job that requires mobility)
