Which of the following drugs is used for candidiasis treatment:

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: The correct answer is C: Myconazol. Myconazol is an antifungal medication commonly used to treat candidiasis, a fungal infection caused by Candida species. It works by inhibiting the growth of the fungal cells. Griseofulvin (A) is an antifungal used for dermatophyte infections, not candidiasis. Nitrofungin (B) is not commonly used for candidiasis treatment. Streptomycin (D) is an antibiotic used for bacterial infections, not fungal infections. Thus, Myconazol is the correct choice for candidiasis treatment.

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: The correct answer is C: Depression of angiogenesis. Anticancer drugs aim to inhibit cancer cell growth by targeting specific pathways in cancer cells without affecting normal cells. Angiogenesis is the process of forming new blood vessels to supply nutrients to tumors, so inhibiting angiogenesis is actually a desired effect of anticancer drugs. Choices A, B, and D are disadvantages of anticancer drugs as they can lead to off-target effects, decreased production of healthy blood cells, and weakened immune response, respectively.

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: The correct answer is C: Reduction of preload and afterload. Captopril, an ACE inhibitor, reduces preload (volume of blood returning to the heart) by inhibiting the conversion of angiotensin I to angiotensin II, which decreases aldosterone secretion and fluid retention. It also reduces afterload (resistance the heart has to pump against) by decreasing peripheral vascular resistance. This dual action helps improve cardiac output and decrease workload on the heart in systolic heart failure. Explanation for why the other choices are incorrect: A: Increased cardiac contractility - Captopril does not directly increase cardiac contractility, it mainly affects afterload and preload. B: Reduction of angiotensin-mediated vasoconstriction in the kidney - While captopril does inhibit angiotensin production, its primary mechanism of action is not specific to the kidney. D: Stimulation of epinephrine release from adrenergic nerves - Captopril does not stimulate ep

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B: Spironolactone. Spironolactone is a potassium-sparing diuretic that can cause hyponatremia and mental status changes due to its anti-mineralocorticoid effects. It can lead to increased levels of aldosterone, causing sodium retention and potassium excretion, leading to hyponatremia. Captopril (A) is an ACE inhibitor that does not typically cause hyponatremia. Lovastatin (C) is a statin used for lowering cholesterol and is not known to cause hyponatremia. Triamterene (D) is also a potassium-sparing diuretic, but it is less likely to cause hyponatremia compared to spironolactone.
