A patient with wegner’s granulomatosis is on Aziothioprine and steroids. He has now productive cough and dyspnoea.Dx?
A) Pneumocystitis Pneumonia
B) Atypical Pneumonia
C) reoccurance of Wegner
D) Lobar pneumia
A) Pneumocystitis Pneumonia is a possible diagnosis in this scenario since the patient with Wegener’s granulomatosis is on Azathioprine and steroids, which are immunosuppressive medications that can increase the patient’s risk of developing an opportunistic infection like pneumocystis pneumonia. The patient’s symptoms of a productive cough and dyspnea also suggest a respiratory tract infection. Therefore, option A is the most likely diagnosis in this case.
man comes to the emergency department with chest pain for the last hour that is crushing in quality and does not change with respiration or the position of his body. An EKG shows ST segment depression in leads V2 to V4. Aspirin has been given. What is the most appropriate next step in the management of this patient?
a. Low molecular-weight heparin
b. Thrombolytics
c. Glycoprotein lib/lila inhibitor (abciximab)
d. Nitroglycerin
e. Morphine
f. Angioplasty
g. Metoprolol
The most appropriate next step in the management of this patient would be f. Angioplasty. The patient’s symptoms, EKG findings, and risk factors are highly suggestive of an acute coronary syndrome. Angioplasty is the most effective treatment for an acute coronary syndrome and should be performed as soon as possible to restore blood flow to the affected area of the heart. Low molecular-weight heparin, thrombolytics, and glycoprotein lib/lila inhibitors are also used in the management of acute coronary syndrome, but angioplasty is the most effective treatment. Nitroglycerin and morphine can be used to relieve chest pain but do not treat the underlying cause of the pain. Metoprolol may be used as part of the management of acute coronary syndrome, but it is not the most appropriate next step given the patient’s presentation.
5 year old boy had an episode of crampy abdominal pain and large bloody stool self limiting. Cause?
A. Meckels diverticulitis
B. Duodenal ulcer
C. Colon polyp
D.Intessucception
The most likely cause of the episode of crampy abdominal pain and large bloody stool in a 5-year-old boy is D. Intussusception. Intussusception is a condition that occurs when one segment of the intestine slides inside another, causing obstruction of the bowel, crampy abdominal pain, and bloody stool. It is more common in children between the ages of 3 months and 5 years and is typically self-limiting and resolves on its own.
Meckel’s diverticulitis, duodenal ulcer, and colon polyp are less likely to cause these symptoms in a 5-year-old child. Meckel’s diverticulitis is a condition that occurs when a pouch in the wall of the small intestine becomes inflamed and can cause crampy abdominal pain and rectal bleeding. However, it is a rare condition and is typically diagnosed in older children and adults. Duodenal ulcers and colon polyps are also uncommon in young children and are more commonly seen in adults.
How will u determine worse prognosis of Laparaoscop8c appendicectomy?

A 60 yr old man present to your office for followup of prostate biopsy. Gleason score is 8 T3a (extracapsular extension to both sides) and recent PSA is 20 ng/ml. WOF is the most appropriate treatment?
A)Radical prostatectomy plus EBRT and androgen deprivation
B)Partial prostatectomy
C)Both a n b
D)Active surveillance
E)Androgen deprivationtherapy
The most appropriate treatment for a 60-year-old man with Gleason score 8 T3a (extracapsular extension to both sides) and recent PSA of 20 ng/ml would be A) Radical prostatectomy plus EBRT and androgen deprivation.
This is because the high Gleason score and extracapsular extension indicate an aggressive type of prostate cancer with a higher risk of recurrence and progression. The PSA level is also elevated, which further suggests an aggressive cancer that requires prompt treatment.
Radical prostatectomy (complete removal of the prostate gland) along with external beam radiation therapy (EBRT) and androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) is the standard treatment for locally advanced or high-risk prostate cancer. This approach aims to remove the cancerous tissue while also targeting any remaining cancer cells with radiation therapy. ADT is used to lower the level of male hormones (androgens) that can stimulate the growth of prostate cancer cells.
Partial prostatectomy is not appropriate in this case because the cancer has already spread outside of the prostate gland. Active surveillance would also not be suitable as the cancer is high-risk and requires active treatment. Androgen deprivation therapy alone is not sufficient for locally advanced prostate cancer and is often used in combination with other treatments such as surgery and radiation therapy.
9 year kid , after running wheeze. Never diagnosed asthma. What to give?
A)Oral montelukast
B)Budesonide
C)Inhaled fluticasone
D)Salbutamol
If a 9-year-old child presents with wheezing after running but has no prior asthma diagnosis, the first-line treatment would be D) Salbutamol (a type of short-acting bronchodilator).
Salbutamol is a type of beta-agonist medication that can help relax the muscles in the airways and alleviate breathing difficulties associated with wheezing. It is typically administered using an inhaler, and the dose will depend on the child’s age, weight, and severity of symptoms.
Oral montelukast (A) and inhaled corticosteroids such as budesonide (B) and fluticasone (C) are not typically used as first-line treatments for acute wheezing. Oral montelukast may be used as an add-on therapy for persistent asthma, but it is not typically used for immediate relief of symptoms. Inhaled corticosteroids are also not typically used as a first-line treatment for acute asthma symptoms but are used for long-term control of asthma and prevention of exacerbations.
It is recommended that the child be evaluated by a healthcare provider to confirm the diagnosis and determine appropriate treatment options beyond the acute wheezing episode.
They’re asking for immediate or maintenance? If immediate then salbutamol inhaler. If maintenance then oralmontelukast
Xray showed fracture of C2-C3 . Pt has resp distress .Best management?
A)Endotracheal intubation with collar
B)Tracheostomy
C)Cricothyroidotomy
If a patient has a fracture of C2-C3 with respiratory distress, the best management would be A) Endotracheal intubation with collar.
The fracture of C2-C3 may be associated with spinal cord injury, which can cause paralysis or weakness of the respiratory muscles, leading to respiratory distress. The management goal is to provide immediate stabilization of the cervical spine and to support the patient’s airway and breathing.
Endotracheal intubation is a procedure where a tube is placed in the patient’s trachea to provide a secure airway. It is typically performed in the hospital setting and is performed by trained healthcare professionals. The cervical collar can be left in place, and the intubation can be done under manual inline stabilization to avoid further movement of the cervical spine. Once intubated, the patient can be mechanically ventilated and transported to a facility with appropriate management of the spinal cord injury.
Tracheostomy (B) and cricothyroidotomy (C) are invasive procedures that may be considered if endotracheal intubation is unsuccessful, or there is no access to advanced medical care. The decision to perform a tracheostomy or cricothyroidotomy should be made on a case-by-case basis taking into consideration the patient’s clinical status and available resources.
What’s the rectal suction biopsyfor?
A rectal suction biopsy is a medical procedure that involves inserting a small hose into the rectum and using suction to collect a tissue sample from the inner lining of the rectum. The biopsy sample is then examined under a microscope to look for abnormalities in the rectal tissue.
A rectal suction biopsy is most commonly performed to diagnose Hirschsprung’s disease, a condition where the nerves that control the colon do not function correctly. This results in a blockage of the bowel, which can cause constipation, abdominal swelling, and other symptoms.
The procedure may also be used to diagnose other conditions that affect the rectum and colon, such as inflammatory bowel disease, infections, or cancer.
Overall, a rectal suction biopsy is a safe and relatively non-invasive procedure, and it can provide valuable information to help diagnose and treat various medical conditions affecting the rectum, colon, and bowel function.

A. SS – Serotonin syndrome: This can occur when two drugs that affect the body’s level of serotonin are taken together at the same time. The syndrome can occur when the level of serotonin, a chemical in your brain, becomes too high. Symptoms can range from mild to severe and include high blood pressure, hyperthermia, and muscle rigidity. Amitriptyline and oxycodone can both increase serotonin levels, so their combined use may increase the risk of serotonin syndrome. It’s important to get medical care right away if you think you have symptoms of serotonin syndrome. Treatment often involves discontinuing the medication that caused the symptoms and, in severe cases, administering medication to block the effects of serotonin already circulating in your body.

36 yr old lady complains of dyspareunia and lower abdominal pain for past 2 years. On examination, there’s retroverted uterus, tenderness on palpating of bilteral adnexa but no mass felt, and a haemorrhagic lesion seen in the posterior fornix of the vagina. What’s the diagnosis?
A. PID
B. Endometriosis
C. Gartner duct cyst
B. Endometriosis
The symptoms presented such as dyspareunia, lower abdominal pain, a retroverted uterus, and presence of a haemorrhagic lesion in the posterior fornix strongly suggest endometriosis. This is a condition where tissue similar to the lining of the uterus grows outside the uterus causing pain, sometimes severe, especially during menstrual cycles. The disease can lead to complications like formation of scar tissue, adhesions and fertility problems if left untreated.
Picture of pyogenic granuloma of on finger and occupation as sheep shearer
A. Pyogenic granuloma
B. Orf
B. Orf
Orf, or “ecthyma contagiosum”, is a viral infection caused by a Parapoxvirus. This virus is commonly found in sheep and goats and can infect humans through skin abrasions. Being a sheep shearer, the person may have gotten infected through direct contact with the animals. The infection typically presents with a pustular lesion or granuloma, often on the hands or fingers, which may initially resemble a pyogenic granuloma. The occupational history supports the diagnosis of Orf in this case. Please consult a healthcare professional for an accurate diagnosis.
