1. The term "thromboembolic disease" comprises:

pulmonary embolism and brain embolism (both of thrombotic origin)
phlebothrombosis and pulmonary embolism

pulmonary embolism from phlebothrombosis (class A) and pulmonary embolism from thrombophlebitis (class B)

2. Elevation of creatin kinase (CK) typically does not accompany

Anuria
Hypothyreosis
Rheumatoid arthritis
Severe chest pain

3. Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) belongs to:

Functional bowel disorders
Inflammatory bowel diseases

4. Trombophilia means:

high platelet count in blood
abnormality of blood coagulation that increases the risk of thrombosis
inborn hemorrhagic diathesis, that - contrary to hemophilia – is not caused by missing any coagulation factor, but by platelet dysfunction
inborn hemorrhagic diathesis, that - contrary to thrombophobia – is not caused by platelet dysfunction, but by their extremely low count

5. 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

6. Image of object focusing in front of retina is typical of:

Myopia (short sightedness, near-sightedness)
Hyperopia (hypermetropia - long-sightedness, far-sightedness)
Presbyopia
Hyperopia, but only when a patient sees the object through the concave lens

7. Rovsing's sign is positive when

There is a tachycardia accompanying the pain in the right hypochondrium

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

8. Hepcidin, hemojuvelin and feroportin play a role in

in development of chronic diseases anemia
in pathogenesis of hemorrhagic complications in children suffering from hemophilia
in prevention of hemorrhagic complications in hemophilia
in the treatment of hemostatic disorders in children, with the effect of hepcidin as most prominent

9. Choose the false answer: Crohn disease

Can affect any segment of gastrointestinal tract from oral cavity to anus, but most frequently it is affecting the terminal ileum or proximal colon
Frequently affects the caecum and anus
Affects most often terminal ileum, caecum and anus
Affects most often the terminal ileum, less frequently the proximal ileum, but never affects the segment distally from transverse colon (here we call it ulcerative colitis)

10. Positivity of Blumberg sign means:

Tenderness to palpation over McBurney's point
Pain upon removal of pressure on the abdominal wall
Inability to keep balance while walking with closed eyes
Inability to keep balance while standing with closed eyes
