1. With glomerular filtration rate (GFR) 80 ml/min, 100% filtration and 50% tubular reabsorption of substance X calculate its cearance:

160 ml/min
120 ml/min
80 ml/min
40 ml/min

2. 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

3. Paradoxical embolism is caused typically

by periodic reversal of blood flow in leg veins
by periodic reversal of blood flow in leg arteries
by mural thrombus lining the wall of an arterial aneurysm (paradoxical embolism to leg veins)
by patent foramen ovale

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

Myasthenia gravis
Dermatomyositis
Sclerodermia
Multiple sclerosis

5. 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

Thrombus in left atrium
Thrombus popliteal vein
Thrombus in right ventricle
