Pathophysiology and clinical medicine

1. 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

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

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

3. Mechanism of action of diuretic furosemid consists in inhibiton of:

Sodium/Glucose membrane co-transport in proximal tubule
Sodium/potassium/chloride membrane co-transport
Urea reabsorption
Tubular secretion of urea

4. 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)

5. Trombophilia means:

high platelet count in blood
abnormality of blood coagulation that increases the risk of thrombosis
inborn hemorrhagic diathesis, that - contrary to hemophilia – is not caused by missing any coagulation factor, but by platelet dysfunction
inborn hemorrhagic diathesis, that - contrary to thrombophobia – is not caused by platelet dysfunction, but by their extremely low count

6. Rovsing's sign is positive when

There is a tachycardia accompanying the pain in the right hypochondrium
There is a tachycardia accompanying the edema (swelling) in only one of the both legs
Palpation (or the pressure of physician’s palm) of the left lower quadrant of a patient's abdomen increases the pain in the right lower quadrant
The patient is unable to keep balance while walking with closed eyes

7. 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

8. Phospholipases do not belong to

Hydrolases
Lipases
Phosphodiesterases
Phosphorylases

9. The most probable source of arterial embolism is:

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

10. Three most important anticoagulation systems do not include

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