Pathophysiology and clinical medicine

1. 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

2. Alveolar air pressure is lower than atmospheric

during the whole inhalation
just before the inhalation begins; during the inhalation the alveolar pressure equals the atmospheric pressure
only in pneumothorax
alveolar air pressure is never lower than atmospheric pressure (contrary to intrapleural pressure)

3. 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

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. 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

6. Dysphagia is:

A subjective symptom
An objective sign
An objective sign, that, however, a patient has to tell the physician he is suffering from
A subjective symptom, that, howver, does not include the pain (in case of pain odynophagia is the correct)

7. 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

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

Anuria
Hypothyreosis
Rheumatoid arthritis
Severe chest pain

9. The most probable source of arterial embolism is:

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

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

Myasthenia gravis
Dermatomyositis
Sclerodermia
Multiple sclerosis
