Pathophysiology and clinical medicine

1. 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

2. 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

3. 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

4. The most probable source of arterial embolism is:

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

5. Three most important anticoagulation systems do not include

heparin-antithrombin
protein C-trombomodulin-protein S
Tissue Factor Pathway Inhibitor – TFPI
plasminogen-plasmin

6. 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)

7. Pre-esophageal dysphagia is accompanied by:

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

8. Hepcidin, hemojuvelin and feroportin play a role in

in development of chronic diseases anemia
in pathogenesis of hemorrhagic complications in children suffering from hemophilia
in prevention of hemorrhagic complications in hemophilia
in the treatment of hemostatic disorders in children, with the effect of hepcidin as most prominent

9. Pachymetry is used in diagnostics of ...

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

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

Myasthenia gravis
Dermatomyositis
Sclerodermia
Multiple sclerosis
