Pathophysiology and clinical medicine

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

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

3. Phospholipases do not belong to

Hydrolases
Lipases
Phosphodiesterases
Phosphorylases

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

Anuria
Hypothyreosis
Rheumatoid arthritis
Severe chest pain

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

Abdominal pain
Amenorrhea
Tachycardia
Vaginal bleeding

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

Myasthenia gravis
Dermatomyositis
Sclerodermia
Multiple sclerosis

7. Classical Virchow-Rokitanski triad does not include

alteration of blood flow (stasis or turbulence)
abnormality of blood coagulation (hypercoagulability)
medical history of thrombosis or embolism
injury of vessel wall (endothelial injury or dysfunction)

8. 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

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. The most probable source of arterial embolism is:

Thrombus in left atrium
Thrombus popliteal vein
Thrombus in right ventricle
Thrombus in popliteal artery aneurysm
