re CT of sickle cell pt - ethmoid sinsuses looked hypertrophied. Given the history i chose ethmoid bone infaction. yes sinusitis can give u pain around the eye and on palpation but does it give pain during eye movement and periorbital skin involvement?? which is what the question said i think... re pt with macular rash, thrombocytopenia, fever + who had taken antimalarials - was this HIV?? i guess it could have been dengue but there was no mention of headache, retro orb eye pain, myalgias etc.
still i remmber some slide but the diagnosis is vague: 1-slide for both leg and knee with question about there abnormality which seem to be on the skin. 2-slide showed supraclavicular area with lymphnode enlargment :
another questions 1-lactose defecinsy for patient with diarreah and bloating aafter gastroenetritis. 2-aquestion on ulnar and medial pulsy 3-abdomen ct slide for possible polycystic kidney

another questions 1-complete heart block in acute inferior mi patient hemodynamic stable the anaswer is close observation ? 2-post strep IgA nephropathy 3-cva due to paradoxical emboli 4-upper lobe pnemonia caused by klebsiella 5-downbeating nystagmus in patient .i think the lesion around foramen magnum 6-one slide showed papilloedema 7-patient with prostate cancer receiveing two drug for it . one of them is hormonal and i think cause the side effect which mension on the question?
wat was the gestational age of that lady ? A - Magnesium sulphate should be considered for seizure prevention in women with pre-eclampsia for whom there is concern about the risk of eclampsia. This is usually in the context of severe pre-eclampsia once a delivery decision has been made and in the immediate postpartum period. In women with less severe disease the decision is less clear and will depend on individual case assessmen labetelol is also correct managment ... but i think Mg is more appropriate ..keeping in veiw that her bp was 200/110 n she has proteinuria n liver functions derranged ,, wat was the gestational age ??
as i recall ...that ques didnt have stable pateint ,,,, pt with complete heart block ....dt inferior MI wat u guys say ?
The lady was 36 weeks pregnant and the BP was 165/115 IV Mg is the answer other wise she will start to Fits

The Guy in the Question of Sudden cardiac death was 25 years old and playing sport, then arrested. "Sudden cardiac death in young athletes has many causes, but the most common is undetected hypertrophic cardiomyopathy." (The Merk manual) There is no notes pointing to ARVD at all. So, the Right answer is HOCM.
yes i think it was HOCM ...as the pt was in VF n more common cause of sudden death is HOCM r u sure they were hyperacute T waves in that ECG ...in the man with low temperature... cant recall wat i wrote in response to this answer u knw the ques in pt with Hep B he also had asthma n eosinophillia n RFt were also derranged ... cant recall the whole stem but it was a difficult ques !! any body remmeber the full ques ?
Pt with breast cancer,recently on chemo, neutrophil 0.3, fever +, Tx is ceftazidime + telcoplanin I would like to know the 26 man with diarrhoea, stool cultured Salmonella, is it typhi, pratyyphi nor non-typhoidal species?
for the young man arrested during football match his ecg showed vf with st elevation in v1 and v2???????????? Brugada syndrome, HOCM
Dear Guest 33; If The ECG shows VF, u can never detect ST raising in any lead. ECGlibrary definition of VF:- bizarre, irregular, random waveform no clearly identifiable QRS complexes or P waves wandering baseline.
Dear all , discussion this time is very poor & deficient with some sort of confusion , no one say his answer with strong evidence , just follow his answere with the word i think , i think this time a few candidate will pass this exam , let us prepare for december
The pass mark is low for this exam. I didn't finsh the paper in April and only failed in april by 0.5%. You can't judge how you do with this exam - don't get too depressed people. Have a beer
