Pathophysiology and clinical medicine

1. 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

2. Eponymic name for trisomy 8 is:

Edwards syndrome
Patau syndrome
Warkany syndrome
Down syndrome

3. 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)

4. 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)

5. Rovsing's sign is positive when

8. 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
