Pathophysiology and clinical medicine

1. Lipases by their nature belong to

esterases
proteases
protein kinases
glycerol kinases

2. 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

3. 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)

4. Eponymic name for trisomy 8 is:

Edwards syndrome
Patau syndrome
Warkany syndrome
Down syndrome

5. 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

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

Myasthenia gravis
Dermatomyositis
Sclerodermia
Multiple sclerosis

7. Pre-esophageal dysphagia is accompanied by:

Heartburn
Epistaxis (bleeding from the nose)
Bleeding from the esophageal varices
Cough and recurrent pneumonias

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

Anuria
Hypothyreosis
Rheumatoid arthritis
Severe chest pain

9. 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)

10. 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)
