1. Biochemical marker of choice to detect myocardial necrosis is:

troponin
creatinkinase
myoglobin (unless hemolysis is present)
AST (formerly termed GOT) is still the most reliable marker in everyday practice; troponin or myoglobin are used only in research trials

2. The "classic" clinical triad of ectopic pregnancy does not include:

Abdominal pain
Amenorrhea
Tachycardia
Vaginal bleeding

3. Lipases by their nature belong to

hydrolases
transferases
lyases
ligases

4. If 20% of cardiac output 5 l/min flows through kidneys, and 20 % of the plasma volume flowing through kidneys is filtered to glomerules, then calculate glomerular filtration rate (take hematokrit value 40 %). Calculated GFR value is:

2 ml/min
20 ml/min
100 ml/min
120 ml/min

5. Eponymic name for trisomy 21 is:

Down syndrome

9. Fibrinolysis can be potentiated

by activation of fibrinogen conversion to fibrin
blocking the fibrinogen conversion to fibrin
by activation of plasminogen conversion to plasmin
blocking the plasminogen conversion to plasmin

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

Sodium/Glucose membrane co-transport in proximal tubule
Sodium/potassium/chloride membrane co-transport
Urea reabsorption
Tubular secretion of urea
