1. Alveolar air pressure is lower than atmospheric

during the whole inhalation
just before the inhalation begins; during the inhalation the alveolar pressure equals the atmospheric pressure
only in pneumothorax
alveolar air pressure is never lower than atmospheric pressure (contrary to intrapleural pressure)

2. Rovsing's sign is positive when

There is a tachycardia accompanying the pain in the right hypochondrium
There is a tachycardia accompanying the edema (swelling) in only one of the both legs
Palpation (or the pressure of physician’s palm) of the left lower quadrant of a patient's abdomen increases the pain in the right lower quadrant
The patient is unable to keep balance while walking with closed eyes

3. Paradoxical embolism is caused typically

by periodic reversal of blood flow in leg veins
by periodic reversal of blood flow in leg arteries
by mural thrombus lining the wall of an arterial aneurysm (paradoxical embolism to leg veins)
by patent foramen ovale

4. Ivermectin is:

6. Typical face symptoms of fetal alcohole syndrome (FAS) do not include

Small palpebral fissures
Saddle-like nose
Thin vermilion, thin upper lip
A smooth philtrum

7. With sodium plasma concentration 140 mmol/l calculate how much sodium is filtered into primary urine in 24 hr; take sodium atomic mass rounded to 23 g/mol

32 g
64 g
100 g
0,5 kg

8. Classical Virchow-Rokitanski triad does not include

alteration of blood flow (stasis or turbulence)
abnormality of blood coagulation (hypercoagulability)

Cornual region of the uterus
Fimbriae of the Fallopian tube
Ampulla of the Fallopian tube
Abdominal cavity

10. Mechanism of action of diuretic furosemid consists in inhibiton of:

Sodium/potassium/chloride membrane co-transport
Urea reabsorption
Tubular secretion of urea
