cubital fossa boundaries
Boundaries
superior (proximal) boundary — an imaginary horizontal line connecting the medial epicondyle of the humerus to the lateral epicondyle of the humerus
medial (ulnar) boundary — lateral border of Pronator Teresmuscle originating from the medial epicondyle of the humerus.
lateral (radial) boundary — medial border of Brachioradialis muscle[2]originating from the lateral supraepicondylar ridge of the humerus.
apex- it is directed inferiorly, and is formed by the meeting point of the lateral and medial boundaries
superficial boundary (roof)- skin, superficial fascia containing the median cubital vein, the lateral cutaneous nerve of the forearm and the medial cutaneous nerve of the forearm, deep fascia reinforced by the bicipital aponeurosis(a sheet of tendon-like material that arises from the tendon of the biceps brachii)
deep boundary (floor)- brachialis and supinator muscles
hence option biceps tendon is correct .....it forms the roof .....a tricky qn ....well done team rxpg

• Azithromycin – administered to HIV + patients can prevent Mycobacterium Avium
• Ethambutol – inhibits arabinosyl transferase which polymerizes arabinose into arabinan etc. Side Effects à Optic Neuritis
• Rifampin – inhibits bacterial DNA dependent RNA polymerase and thus prevents transcription of DNA into mRNA.
• Isoniazid – inhibits mycolic acid synthesis.
• FF = GFR/RPF GFR = Creatinine Clearance/Inulin
• RPF = PAH
• Fibroadenoma – cellular myxoid stroma, sometimes there are compressed cystic spaces.
• Spongiosis - epidermal accumulation of edematous fluid in the intercellular spaces.
• Diphenoxylate – opiate anti-diarrheal structurally related to Meperidine.
• Octreotide – good for secretory diarrhea, which is a Somatostatin Analog
• Urease – converts urea to carbon dioxide and ammonia and thus increases pH
• Radiation Therapy - causes 1) DNA double strand breakage 2) formation of free radical
• Methadone – has a long half life
• In Fetal Lungs - after 30 weeks there is an increase in Lecithin
• After 36 weeks there is a rise in Phosphatydylglycerol
• Males with 5 α reductase deficiency - feminized external genitalia, small phallus and Hypospadias are common.

• Acute Rejection - occurs within weeks of transplantation and primarily mediated by host T-lymphocytes that act against donor MHC antigens. To prevent, administer Calcineurin Inhibitor such as Cyclosporine.
• Cricopharyngeal Muscle Dysfunction – caused by diminished relaxation of pharyngeal muscles during swallowing. Usually occurs in elderly, where they present with coughing, choking and recurrent aspiration.
• Doxyrubicin – anthracycline chemotherapeutic agent will form free radicals in myocardium. The side effect is cardiac fibrosis, which will present with Dilated Cardiomyopathy.
• Phospholipase C - forms IP3 and DAG from phospholipids. And IP3 causes an increase in intracellular calcium, which then activates Protein Kinase C.
• Lactase Deficient Patients - will present with a Normal Intestinal Mucosa.
• Polycystic Ovarian Disease Patients – will benefit from therapy with Clomiphene, which is an estrogen receptor antagonist and will increase the release of GnRH and stimulates ovulation. Because in PCOS the patients’ ovaries will secrete estrogen which will feedback inhibit GnRH, and in treatment with Clomiphene, these receptors will be suppressed and thus GnRH will secrete estrogens and induce ovulation.
• Nimodipine – Calcium Channel Blocker, used in surgery on Subarachnoid Hemorrhage to prevent cerebral vasospasm.
• Aspergillosis – occurs in Old Lung Cavities. It will grow as a Fungus Ball and will present in old cavities caused by TB, Sarcoidosis or Emphysema. Patients with Asthma may have a hypersensitivity reaction to Aspergillus.
• Erosions of Gastric Mucosa - are called erosions because they do not penetrate Muscularis Mucosa, when they do, then it’s called Ulcers.
• Candida Albicans – will inoculate into serum at 37 degrees for 3 hours will lead to formation of Hyphae from Yeast.
• Mitral Valve Prolapse – the most common cardiac abnormality that predisposes to native Valve Bacterial Endocarditis.
• Majority of Free Water – will be reabsorbed in the Proximal Tubule, regardless of the patient’s Hydration Status.

consumption of which food causes poisoning by e coli 0157
Escherichia coli O157:H7 is an enterohemorrhagic strain of the bacterium Escherichia coli and a cause of foodborne illness.[1] Infection often leads to hemorrhagic diarrhea, and occasionally to kidney failure, especially in young children and elderly persons.
Transmission is via the fecal-oral route, and most illness has been associated with eating undercooked, contaminated ground beef or ground pork, swimming in or drinking contaminated water, or eating contaminated vegetables.

community needs assessment program
Community Needs Assessment Approach (CNAA) in 1997-98.
Decentalised planning implicates close association of the community and its leading lights and opinion leaders such as village Pradhans, Mahila Swasthya Sanghs, Primary School Teachers, etc. in formulation of the PHC based family welfare and health care plan. Under this approach, plans regarding family welfare services were to be formulated in consultation with the community at the grass root level and expected to lead to improvement in quality of services and client satisfaction matching with ground situation requirements.

Ocular sarcoid can manifest itself with blurred vision, photophobia, floaters, redness, and pain from uveitis. Cranial nerve palsies causing diplopia and decreased vision from optic nerve infiltration have also been reported. Lacrimal gland involvement may cause proptosis and diplopia secondary to mass affect.
Systemic symptoms of sacroidosis include febrile illness with cough and dyspnea, fatigue, erythema nodosum, acute polymyositis, arthritis, musculoskeletal anomalies, or sarcoid nodules of the skin
hence ocular sarcoid given correctly by rxpg team

Which one of the following anaesthetic agents can cause malignant hyperpyrexia??
OPTIONS: PUBLIC RESPONSE
Isoflurane 5% (4% sure)
Halothane 65% (57% sure)
Propofol 7% (6% sure)
Sevoflurane 15% (13% sure)
Ketamine
Malignant hyperthermia is most commonly due to volatile anesthetic gases, such as halothane, sevoflurane, desflurane, isoflurane, enflurane or the depolarizing muscle relaxants succinylcholine, decamethonium, and suxamethonium used primarily in general anesthesia.[1] Other drugs that have been suspected of causing MH include ketamine, catecholamines, phenothiazines, and monoamine oxidase inhibitors. There are also few reports of MH being triggered by nitrous oxide administration. [3] In rare cases, the biological stresses of physical exercise or heat may be the trigger.[1]
Other anesthetic drugs are considered safe.[citation needed] These include local anesthetics (lidocaine, bupivicaine, mepivacaine), opiates (morphine, fentanyl), ketamine, barbiturates, nitrous oxide, propofol, etomidate, benzodiazepines.
The nondepolarizing muscle relaxants pancuronium, cisatracurium, atracurium, mivacurium, vecuronium and rocuronium also do not cause MH.
hence correct ans appears to be halthane

At the upper and forepart of the medial surface of the calcaneus is a horizontal eminence, the sustentaculum tali (alternatively, the talar shelf), which gives attachment to the plantar calcaneo-navicular (spring) ligament, tibiocalcaneal ligament, and medial talocalcaneal ligament.
This eminence is concave above, and articulates with the middle calcaneal articular surface of the talus; below, it is grooved for the tendon of the Flexor hallucis longus; its anterior margin gives attachment to the plantar calcaneonavicular ligament, and its medial margin to a part of the deltoid ligament of the ankle-joint.

Lactational mother 65% (51% sure)

benefits of POP
Lacking the estrogen of combined pills, they are not associated with increased risks of DVT or heart disease. With the decreased clotting risk, they are not contraindicated in the setting of sickle-cell disease. The progestin-only pill is recommended over regular birth control pills for women who are breastfeedingbecause the mini-pill does not affect milk production (estrogen reduces the amount of breast milk). Like combined pills, the minipill decreases the likelihood of pelvic inflammatory disease.
It is unclear whether POPs provide protection against endometrial cancer and ovarian cancerto the extent that COCP do.
There are fewer serious complications than on COCP.[
