Question 1 of 5
Antiaggregants are used in disorders of brain circulation for:
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The correct answer is C: Improving the microcirculation in cerebral tissue. Antiaggregants are used in disorders of brain circulation to prevent platelet aggregation and improve blood flow in the microcirculation of cerebral tissue. This helps to enhance oxygen and nutrient delivery to brain cells, ultimately improving brain function. Rationale: A: Stimulation of the metabolic processes in neurons is not the primary purpose of antiaggregants. While improved blood flow may indirectly support neuronal metabolism, the main goal of antiaggregants is to prevent clot formation and improve circulation. B: Dilation of cerebral vessels is not the main mechanism of action for antiaggregants. Although vasodilation can enhance blood flow, antiaggregants primarily work by preventing platelet aggregation rather than directly causing vessel dilation. D: All the above is incorrect because the primary purpose of antiaggregants in disorders of brain circulation is to improve microcirculation in cerebral tissue, not to stimulate metabolic processes in neurons or
Question 2 of 5
Which of the following glucocorticoids have two fluoride atoms in its chemical structure?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The correct answer is D: Triamcinolone. Triamcinolone has two fluoride atoms in its chemical structure, making it a fluorinated glucocorticoid. Prednisolone (A) does not contain any fluoride atoms. Dexamethasone (B) and Fluocinolone (C) each have only one fluoride atom in their chemical structure. Therefore, Triamcinolone is the only option with two fluoride atoms, making it the correct answer.
Question 3 of 5
Which of histamine H1 antagonists is noted for the ulcerogenic effect?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The correct answer is D, Dimedrol. Dimedrol, also known as diphenhydramine, is noted for its ulcerogenic effect due to its anticholinergic properties, which can inhibit mucosal protection in the stomach. Diazoline (A), Loratadine (B), and Suprastine (C) are not associated with ulcerogenic effects as they do not possess strong anticholinergic properties like Dimedrol. Diazoline is a histamine H1 antagonist used for allergies, Loratadine is a non-sedating antihistamine, and Suprastine is an antihistamine with antiallergic effects.
Question 4 of 5
Night blindness (Hemeralopia, Nyctalopia) is
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The correct answer is C because night blindness (Hemeralopia, Nyctalopia) is a condition where vision is normal in daylight but weak or lost in dim light due to vitamin A deficiency. Vitamin A is essential for the conversion of light into electrical signals in the retina, crucial for night vision. Choice A refers to extreme dryness of the conjunctiva, not night blindness. Choice B describes xerophthalmia, a condition associated with severe vitamin A deficiency leading to corneal issues, not night blindness. Therefore, the correct answer is C as it accurately defines night blindness due to vitamin A deficiency.
Question 5 of 5
Familial chylomicronemia (type I) is caused by deficiency in lipoprotein lipase activity. This consideration is:
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The correct answer is A: TRUE. Familial chylomicronemia (type I) is indeed caused by a deficiency in lipoprotein lipase activity. Lipoprotein lipase is essential for breaking down chylomicrons, which are fat particles in the blood. Without enough lipoprotein lipase activity, chylomicrons accumulate in the blood, leading to symptoms of type I hyperlipoproteinemia. Therefore, the deficiency in lipoprotein lipase activity is the primary cause of familial chylomicronemia. Summary of other choices: B: FALSE - This is incorrect as the deficiency in lipoprotein lipase activity is the cause of familial chylomicronemia. C: All - This is incorrect as not all choices are correct. Only choice A is true. D: None - This is incorrect as choice A is true.
