Pathophysiology and clinical medicine

1. 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

2. 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

3. Pachymetry is used in diagnostics of ...

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

4. 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

5. 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

6. The term "thromboembolic disease" comprises:

pulmonary embolism and brain embolism (both of thrombotic origin)
phlebothrombosis and pulmonary embolism
thrombophlebitis and pulmonary embolism
pulmonary embolism from phlebothrombosis (class A) and pulmonary embolism from thrombophlebitis (class B)

7. 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

8. Microcytic anemia is usually not

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

9. 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

10. Commonly, sideroachrestic anemia is not

accompanied by sideroblasts
a sign of myelodysplastic syndrome
caused by repeated loss of blood (e.g. in young women)
caused by vitamin B6 deficiency
