1. Sideroblasts

are a sign of disorder of iron incorporation into heme
are pathognomic for sideropenic anemia
are phagocyting cells in spleen (and liver), that take part in recycling of iron back to bone marrow by removing old and altered erythrocytes from the blood flow
jsou nezralé buňky červené řady typické pro hemochromatózu

2. Typical causes of pre-esophageal dysphagia do not include:

Myasthenia gravis
Dermatomyositis
Sclerodermia
Multiple sclerosis

3. 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

4. Eponymic name for trisomy 8 is:

Edwards syndrome
Patau syndrome
Warkany syndrome
Down syndrome

5. Microcytic anemia is usually not

hypochromic at the same time
hyperchromic at the same time
caused by thalassemia
caused by repeated blood loss

6. Hemostasis means

synonymic term for coagulation (hemocoagulation)
mechanisms preventing exsanguination when integrity of vessel is altered
mechanisms responsible for the balance of physiological and biochemical parameters in organism
slowing the blood flow speed in vessels

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

Severe chest pain
Anuria
Chronic alcohol abuse
Epileptic seizures of grand-mal type

8. Pachymetry is used in diagnostics of ...

Glaucoma
Pleuritis and mesothelioma (resulting in pachypleuritis)
Pachymeningitis
Paget disease

9. 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

10. 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)
