Herpes zoster (commonly referred to as "shingles) and postherpetic neuralgia result from
reactivation of the varicella zoster virus acquired during the primary varicella infection, or
chickenpox Whereas varicella is generally a disease of childhood herpes zoster and post-
herpetic neuralgia become more common with increasing age. Factors that decrease
immune function, such as human immunodeficiency virus infection, chemotherapy
malignancies and chronic corticosteroid use, may also increase the risk of developing
herpes zoster. Reactivation of latent varicella-zoster virus from dorsal root ganglia is
responsible for the classic dermatomal rash and pain that occur with herpes zoster, Burning
pain typically precedes the rash by several days and can persist for several months after the
rash resolves. With postherpetic neuraltia, a complication of herpes zoster, pain may persist
well after resolution of the rash and can be highly debilitating. Herpes zoster is usually
treated with orally administered acyclovir. Other antiviral medications include famciclovir and
valacyclovir. The antiviral medications are most effective when started within 72 hours after
the onset of the rash. The addition of an orally administered corticosteroid can provide
modest benefits in reducing the pain of herpes zoster and the incidence of postherpetic
neuralgia. Ocular involvement in herpes zoster can lead to rare but serious complications
and generally merits referral to an ophthalmologist. Patients with postherpetic neuralgia may
require narcotics for adequate pain control. Tricyclic antidepressants or anticonvulsants,
often given in low dosages, may help to control neuropathic pain, Capsaicin lidocaine
patches and nerve blocks can also be used in selected patients.

The Tibial Nerve is one of the two main muscular branches of the Sciatic Nerve. TheTibial
nerve is the larger terminal branch with root
The Tibial Nerve provides innervation to the muscles of the lower leg and foot. Specifically:
Triceps Surae (the two headed Gastocnemius and Soleus); Plantaris, Popliteus Tibialis
Posterior: Flexor Digitorum Longus; and Flexor Hallucis Longus muscles. It also has articular
and cutaneous branches.
Terminal Branches
At the foot level just after the heel) the Tibial Nerve divides into the Medial Plantar Nerve
(MPN) and the Lateral Plantar Nerve (LPN). The MPN supplies muscular branches to the big
toe and the two toes next to it, and the LPN the other two toes. The Sural Nerve is a
cutaneous branch of the Tibial nerve that supplies the skin of the legs and feet.

One common cause of hyperprolactinemia is a growth or tumor on the pituitary gland called
a prolactinoma, The tumor produces high levels of prolactin. These turnors can be large or
small and are usually benign, meaning they are not cancerous. Hyperprolactinaemia is the
presence of abnormally high levels of prolactin in the blood. Normal levels are less than 500
ml for women, and less than 450 mil U/L for men,

A. Professional competence
C. Honesty
D. Patient relationship
E. Maintaining trust
A. Pap smear
B. Punch biopsy
C. Cone biopsy
D. FNAC
...Cone biopsy
In this procedure, also known as conization, the doctor removes a cone-shaped piece of
tissue from the cervix. The base of the core is formed by the exocervix (outer part of the
cervix), and the point or apex of the cone is from the endocervical canal. The tissue removed
in the cone includes the transformation zone (the border between the exocervix and
endocervix, where cervical pre-cancers and cancers are most likely to start).
A cone biopsy can also be used as a treatment to completely remove many pre cancers and
some very early cancers. Having had a cone biopsy will not prevent most women from
getting pregnant, but if a large amount of tissue has been removed, women may have a
higher risk of giving birth prematurely.
The methods commonly used for cone biopsies are the loop electrosurgical excision
procedure (LEEP), also called the large loop excision
of the transformation zone (LLETZ), and the cold knife cone biopsy.
Loop electrosurgical procedure (LEEP, LLETZ): In this method, the tissue is removed with a
thin wire loop that is heated by electrical current and acts as a scalpel. For this procedure, a
local anesthetic is used, and it can be done in your doctor's office. It takes only about 10
minutes. You might have mild cramping during and after the procedure, and mild-to-
moderate bleeding for several weeks. e Cold knife cone biopsy: This method uses a surgical
scalpel or a laser instead of a heated wire to remove tissue. You will receive anesthesia
during the operation (either a general anesthesia, where you are asleep, or a spinal or
epidural anesthesia, where an injection. into the area around the spinal cord makes you
numb below the waist) and is done in a hospital, but no overnight stay is needed. After e the
procedure, you might have cramping and some bleeding for a few weeks…

28. For close contact with Tuberculosis patients, what do you need to give:
A. Immunoglobulin
B. Anti TB
C. Rifampin
D. INH
Correct answer is D: INH
Tuberculosis (TB) contacts are people who have close contact with patients with infectious
TB. As they are at high risk for infection (and in line with the End TB strategy), TB contacts
should be investigated systematically and actively for TB infection and disease. Such
interventions are called 'tuberculosis contact investigations. They contribute to early
identification of active TB, thus decreasing its severity and reducing transmission of
Mycobacterium tuberculosis to others, and identification of latent TB infection (LTBI), to allow
preventive measures.
Contacts are commonly investigated in high-income countries with low TB burdens and in
settings in which a TB elimination policy i implemented in order to identify persons with early
active TB or who have recently been infected. People identified as infected are then treated
for LTB with isoniazid for at least 6 months (usually 9 months) or with shorter combination
regimens including isoniazid and rifampicin..

Hereditary nonpolyposis colorectal cancer (HNPCC) is the most common form of hereditary
colorectal cancer. It is inherited as an autosomal dominant syndrome as a result of defective
mismatch repair (MMR) proteins. HNPCC, accounts for 2-5% of all colorectal carcinomas,
Over 90% of all colorectal cancers in HNPCC patients demonstrate a higth microsatellite
instability (MSI-H), which means at least 2 or more genes have been mutated in HNPCC
families or atypical HNPCC families,
People who have Lynch syndrome have a significantly increased risk of developing
colorectal cancer. There is also an increased risk of developing other types of cancers, such
as endometrial (uterine), stomach, breast, ovarian, small bowel (intestinal), pancreatic,
prostate, urinary tract, liver, kidney, and bile duct cancers.

Key facts
The herpes simplex virus or herpes, is categorized into 2 types herpes simplex virus type 1
(HSV-1) and herpes simplex virus type 2 (HSV21.
HSV-1 is mainly transmitted by oral-to-oral contact to cause oral herpes (which can include
symptoms known as "cold sores), but can also
HSV-2 is a sexually transmitted infection that causes genital herpes. Both HSV-1 and HSV-2
infections are lifelong. An estimated 3.7 billion people under age 50 (67%) have HSV-1
infection globally.
An estimnated 417 million people aged 15-49 (11%) worldwide have HSV-2 infection. Most
oral and genital herpes infections are asymptomatic
Symptoms of herpes include painful blisters or ulcers at the site of infection. Herpes
infections are most contagious when symptoms are present but can still be transmitted to
others in the absence of symptoms Infection with HSV-2 increases the risk of acquiring and
transmitting HIV infection. https://www.who.int/news-room/fact-sheets/detail/herpes-simplex-
virus
Treatment
Antiviral medications, such as acyclovir, famciclovir, and valacyclovir, are the most effective
medications available for people infected with
HSV. These can help to reduce the severity and frequency of symptoms, but cannot cure the
infection..

C. Endometritis
luteal phase. In the absence of ovulation, there will be infertility. Normal menstrual bleeding
in the ovulatory cycle is a result of a decline in progesterone due to the demise of the corpus
luteum. It is thus a progesterone withdrawal bleeding. As there is no progesterone in the
anovulatory cycle, bleeding is caused by the inability of estrogen that needs to be present to
stimulate the endometrium in the first place to support a growing endometrium. Anovulatory
bleeding is hence termed estrogen breakthrough bleeding.
Management
Women who do not ovulate and who want to get pregnant need a medical work-up to find
out why they do not ovulate. Drugs are often given to induce ovulation, including oral
medication such as clomiphene or injectable medications. In patients who do not want to get
pregnant anovulation can be managed with the use of cyclic progesterone or progestin
supplementation or use of hormonal contraception…

A.......... Since isoniazid is increasingly being used to control the spread of tuberculosis,
physicians must be aware of its potentially fatal effects. The ingestion of toxic amounts of
isoniazid causes recurrent seizures, profound metabolic acidosis, coma and even death, In
adults, toxicity can occur with the acute ingestion of as little as 1.5 g of isoniazid. Doses
larger than 30 mg per kg often produce seizures. When ingested in amounts of 80 to 150 mg
per kg or more, isoniazid can be rapidly fatal. The first signs and symptoms of isoniazid
toxicity usually appear 30 minutes to two hours after ingestion and include nausea, vomiting,
slurred speech, dizziness, tachycardia and urinary retention, followed by stupor, coma and
recurrent grand mal seizures. The seizures produced by isoniazid toxicity are often refractory
to anticonvulsant therapy. Given in gram-per-gram amounts of the isoniazid ingested,
pyridoxine (vitamin B6) usually eliminates seizure activity and helps to correct the patient's
metabolic acidosis. Isoniazid toxicity should be suspected in any patient who presents with
refractory seizures and metabolic acidosis. http://www.aafp.org/afp/1998/0215/p749.html.

c The US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has warned against the use of the impotence
drug Viagra by persons taking medications that containnitrates. The FDA's warning was
issued in conjunction with Pfizer, the manufacturer of Viagra (generic name: sildenafil).
Viagra and nitrates both cause the muscles that control the size of blood vessels to relax.
When these muscles relax, the vessels enlarge in diameter and, as a result, blood pressure
drops. When Viagra and nitrates are taken together, the effects are greater than when either
one is used alone. There may be a märked relaxation of the muscles that control the vessels
with a great drop in blood pressure. A drastic drop in blood pressure is detrimental to
patients who have angina pectoris (heart pain), a condition in which a higher blood pressure
is necessary to supply the heart with blood. Lowering the blood pressure decreases the flow
of blood to the heart and can precipitate a heart attack…

Oxygen-People with advanced COPD can have low oxygen levels in the blood. This
condition, known as hypoxemia, can occur even if the person does not feel short of breath or
have other symptoms. The oxygen level can be measured with a device placed on the finger
(pulse oximeter) or with a blood test (arterial blood gas). People with hypoxemia may be
placed on oxygen therapy, which can improve survival and quality of
life.http://www.uptodate.com/.../chronic-obstructive-pulmonary....

treatment?
A. Diuretics
C. Shunt
Surgery
Management
Surgical CSF shunting remains the main treatment modality for NPH(NORMAL PRESSURE
HYDROCEPHALUS)). Prior to embarking upon surgical therapy, knowing which patients
may benefit from surgery is necessary. Detailed testing is performed before and after CSF
drainage (eg, baseline neuropsychological evaluation, timed walking test, large-volume
lumbar puncture, external lumbar drainage, CSF infusion testing).
Ideal candidates for shunt surgery would show imaging evidence of ventriculomegaly, as
indicated by a frontal horn ratio exceeding 0,50 on imaging studies...

100. 38 years female,G3 P3, previous normal deliveries, presented with occasional irregular
bleeding with high FSH, High LH, low Estrogen. what is likely Diagnosis?
A. Turners syndrome
B. Asherman syndrome
C. Sheehan syndrome
Both primary and secondary forms of ovarian failure are biochemically characterized by low
levels of gonadal hormones (estrogens and inhibins) and high gonadotropins (LH and FSH)
(hypergonadotropic amenorrhea). Low levels of inhibin B may predict follicular depletion
before the large FSH rise.
Primary ovarian insufficiency-also called premature ovarian failure - occurs when the ovaries
stop functioning normally before age 40. When this happens, your ovaries don't produce
normal amounts of the hormone estrogen or release eggs regularly. This condition often
leads to infertility.
Primary ovarian insufficiency is sometimes confused with premature menopause, but these
conditions aren't the same. Women with primary ovarian insufficiency can have irregular or
occasional periods for years and might even get pregnant. But women with premature
menopause stop having periods and can't become pregnant.
Restoring estrogen levels in women with primary ovarian insufficiency helps prevent some
complications that occur as a result of low
