1. Threshold of a screening test is increased. How it will affect sensitivity and specificity?
a)
Sensitivity increase & specificity decrease
b)
Sensitivity decrease and specificity increase
answer:b
2. A child has ingested overdose of iron tablets- first symptom?
a)
Nausea and abdominal pain
b)
Hyperventilation
c)
Seizure
answer :a
“Acute iron intoxication” :seen exclusively in young children, in them small numbers of any available
preparation ,even 10 tablets can be « fatal ».Symptms:Sx of ”necrotizing gasteroenteritis”,vomiting,abdominal
pain,bloody diarrhea=>shock,lethargy,dyspnea,severe metabolic acidosis.
Tx:Whole bowel irrigation to remove unabsorbed tablets
Deferoxamine t remove absorbed tablets
Notice:activated charcoal can’t bind to iron,so will have no benefit
“chronic iron intoxication”(hemochromatosis):excess of iron deposits in heart,liver,pancreas,etc.It’s seen in
patient with multiple transfusions of RBC products over time,or in those who have inherited
hemochromatosis,not in normal individuals ‘cause normal gut doesn’t absorb excess iron intake,unless there is
really overingestion of iron in long period,can’t be overcome by normal mechanisms esp. in those who have
anemia of chronic dis. Or hemolytic anemia.
Tx:phlebotomy-Deferoxamine
3. Rheumatoid arthritis patient develops tinnitus. Cause?
a)
Due to ASA
Adverse effects of ASA:
1-gastric upset(advise patients to have it with meal and enough water,and may be antiacids);2-PUD;3-erosive
gastritis;4-like other NSAIDS it can cause elevation in liver enzymes(rarely hepatitis);5-rash;6-aggreviates
asthma;7-may interfer to renal function;8-antiplatelet activity;9-Reye syn.;and 10-“salicylism”
What is Salicylism?”vomiting,tinnitus,decreased hearing,vertigo” with higher amounts of ASA.
Also,ASA in high doses results in hyperpnea,respiratory alkalosis,then,when acidic components accumulate,a
meabolic acidosis more complicates cases.
4. WHO conference in 1978 in Alma Mata, Russia- declaration on
“Health-for-all” by 2000,….the individuals,families,and community are the basis of health system,and the primary

few months. Translucent. Definitive Management?
a)
examine regularly
b)
aspirate only
c)
surgery
d)injecting sclerosant
answer:c …….Dx:Hydrocele,Tx:according to the case,if it’s well tolerated & there is no complication,nothing
;however, drinage+ injection of a sclerosing agent indicates for complicated cases or in order to prevent
recurrence.The last Tx modality is surgery.
According to Smith’s urology textbook,if a hydrocele remains beyond 1 year old,surgery should be performed.

10. 23 year old lady presented with cramping abdominal pain and heavy bleeding. Pregnancy test positive. Bleeding
stopped today morning. Pregnancy symptoms disappeared one week ago. USG shows empty uterus and 3 cm mass in
adnexa. Diagnosis?
a)
ectopic pregnancy
b)
complete abortion with corpus luteal cyst
c)
ves. Mole with corpus luteum
d)
twin gestation- one aborted and one ectopic
answer:b …….Firstly,as pregnancy symptoms disappeared,so this woman can not be pregnant now,so choice d
is easily ommitable.
Then,this patient showed Sx of miscarriage,and now uterus is empty,then we can think to these options:
A complete abortion….not given in choices
A complete abortion with a luteal cyst
An abnormal aborted pregnancy with luteal cyst
But which one?Did she have Sx of a molar pregnancy?no,not high titers of bHCG ,no excessive vomiting,etc.,so
answer c seems incorrect.
……..but if “pregnancy test”is + now=>then patient has an EP.I personally think there is a mistake in typing this
question,and the betaHCG is not + now ‘caz if it were so,why they emphasized on disappeared Sx of pregnancy?
11. Child with inguinal hernia. Presentation

Enalapril enhanced renal angiogram
Answer:a ……what is the most probable Dx?Cushing Dis.,an adenoma in pituitary,producesACTH => symptoms
of Cushing syndrome + compressive Sx of a space occupying lesion in brain(headache)=>perform a CT of head
Other choices are nonsense…..a random plasma cortical is not a good test for Dx. Cushing syn. ‘cause it has
great diurnal variations,and except in a few cases with very low early moning plasma cortisol (see Harrison’s

months. What advise you will give
a)
start folic acid now
b)
she has to do amniocentesis at 16 weeks
c)
neural tube defects are unlikely to recur in subsequent pregnancies
answer:b……:Hx of NTD=>higher risk of NTD in future pregnancies comparing to normal population……every
pregnant woman should take 0.4 mg/day Folic acid PO for 1-3 months preconceptually & throughout T1,so it’s
soon to start Folic acid for this woman.
Amniocentesis should be done for every woman with Hx of having a child with birth defect,in 15-16 weeks of
gestation.
d)
54. Diabetic lady advice regarding risk of congenital anomalies.
a)
risk is same for gestational diabetes and other diabetes
b)
risk can be reduced to that of general population if strict control of sugar is maintained through out the
pregnancy.
c)
Sacral agenesis is the most common anomaly
d)
USS for congenital anomaly is done at 32 weeks
Answer:d……in a diabetic lady=>increased risk for GDM compared to normal population,with tight glycemic
control preconception this risk decreases,but not to measures for normal population.
Sacral agenesis is an uncommon complication in infants of diabetic mothers. US+amniocentesis are used to
evaluate fetal situation in 37-38 weeks(for programming delivery according to lung maturation). Also,OCT in
32 weeks ……..GDM can not cause congenital defects ‘cause it starts after organogenesis!

59. Soldier returning from peacekeeping force. He has nightmares anxiety. Etc. what is the initial step in management
a)
psychoanalysis
b)
benzodiazepine for 1year
c)
a trial of behavior therapy for s assort period
answer :d……why (d) and not (a)?…..Psychanalysis: it’s a long Tx modality(3-5 years,4-5 times every
week),esp. used to improve patient’s insight ,and emphasizes on early childhood events,so I don’t think it’s
appropriate Tx for this acute illness.
Then, short-term/brief psychotherapy is used for “acute crisis”(like this case) or particular emotional
problems.Number of sessions agreed at outset(6-20 times)
60. A 23 year old girl develops watery diarrhea after a picnic, 2 days later she develops purpuric rashes, oliguria, what is
most likely
a)
2 other picnic mates developed rashes the next day
b)
they made lemonade using water from a near by pond
c)
many of the picnic people developed bite marks bitten by mosquito
d)
few of the picnic people were returning from usa
answer:b? …..my first guess was HUS,but…..watery diarrhea after picnic=>2 days later Sx of low
plt.,oliguria;all in a “23 y/o” girl?!!!….it can’t be simply a HUS,neither course of dis. ,nor age of patient do not
match to HUS…..;however,none of other common causes of food poisoning(esp. those related to
contaminated water) can cause all of these symptoms together,not a V.cholorea(rice water stool,no
purpura),not S.aureus,etc…..so I guess it’s an atypic case of HUS(still unsatisfied with Dx!) due to shigatoxin
or E.coliO157:H7…..then, answer (b) seems correct.What is your idea?
e)
61. Toddler’s diarrhea what seen
a)
indigested food particles
b)
fecal occult blood
c)
vomiting
answer:a
d)
62. hirshsprung’s most imp. Inv
a)
Barium enema
b)
Colonic transit time with radio opaque markers
c)
X ray
answer:a ….. some abnormal findings in barium enema,as a”dilated sigmoid colon” before a”narrower segment”
as “transition to dilated colon”,and then a “normal caliber aganglionic rectum” distally,summing up
means,abnormal aganglionic segment has normal caliber,but former segment is dilated.
BUT Dx in HIRSHPRUNG dis. IS BY BIOPSY.
63. hirshsprung .diff from constipation
a)
from birth
b)
fecal soiling
answer:a….:Sx of hirshprung in first 24 hours of life,unless there is a very small aganglionic segment,showing
itself in later childhood with constipation and maybe overflow incontinence ……in barium enema,functional
constipation shows dilated rectum & colon,but in hirshprung’s dis. Just colon is dilated.
64. Male pain left lower quad. Mass. Neutrophilia. Inv?
a)
rigid sigmoidoscopy
b)
barium. Enema
c)
colonoscopy
d)
X-ray
answer:d…..Dx:Diverticulosis(left-sides appendicitis)=>Do not perform barium enema or
sigmoidoscpy/colonoscopy during an acute attack!
The optimal method of investigation is CT scan,if not available Hypaque enema(water soluble) is SAFEshows”sawtooth appearance”
US may be useful for following up an abscess.
Tx in Diverticulitis: admit+NPO+fluid+IV antibiotics that cover B.Fragillis(Ciprofluxacin,metronidazole)
Surgery if: 1-Hinchey stages 3 or 4(purulent or feculent peritonitis)
2-after 1 attack if: a)less than 50 years old,b)immunocompromized ,
c)abscess needing percutaneous drinage
3-after 2 attacks in others
4-cmplications: bleeding,fistula,obstruction
5-R/O colon cancer, or refractory medical management

stable renal pedicle normal. Management?
a)
surgical repair
b)
close monitoring in ICU
c)
catheterize and rest for 7-10 days
c)
send home
answer:c …renal trauma with laceration/hemaoma=>minor trauma=> seldom surgical repair
renal trauma with laceration,extending to medulla and collecting system,major renal vascular
injury,shattered kidney=>major trauma
microscopic hematuria+minor trauma+stable=>no admition
gross hematuria+contusion/minor trauma=>admit+bedrest+repeat CT if bleeding persists
hemorrhage & hemodinamicly unstable=>surgery
