Pathophysiology and clinical medicine

1. Choose the false answer: Crohn disease

Can affect any segment of gastrointestinal tract from oral cavity to anus, but most frequently it is affecting the terminal ileum or proximal colon
Frequently affects the caecum and anus
Affects most often terminal ileum, caecum and anus
Affects most often the terminal ileum, less frequently the proximal ileum, but never affects the segment distally from transverse colon (here we call it ulcerative colitis)

2. Synonymic term for pre-esophageal dysphagia is:

Neurogenic dysphagia
Paraesophageal dysphagia
Psychogenic dysphagia
Gastro-esophageal reflux (GER)

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

Abdominal pain
Amenorrhea
Tachycardia
Vaginal bleeding

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

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

5. 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

6. 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

7. 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)

8. 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)

9. Common signs of Crohn disease do not include:

Diarrhea
Pain
Constipation
p-ANCA positivity with ASCA (antibodies against S. cerevisiae) negativity

10. Pachymetry is used in diagnostics of ...

Glaucoma
Pleuritis and mesothelioma (resulting in pachypleuritis)
Pachymeningitis
