Block One
1. Reactive Hyperemia?? What will happen to the blood flow after a vessel is occluded and the muscle is made to exercise. Will the blood flow to the tissue increased or decreased
2. Brown fat what is it and if it™s used in infant as a source of nutrition.
3. Breast cancer and its staging there were 2 questions on this One asked how wud u grade the system what would u include in under T0 or T1 and the second one asked about the when does the decision of excise the lymph nodes is made.
4. Vincristine?? MOA

10. Lung Pic Gross >> Upper Lobe semi-cavities but blackened which I thought was Sarcoidosis because the cavities were in the centre of the Lobes and it didn™t look like it was Anthracotic pigment
11. CXR showing Ghon complex but u had to figure out if there was any fungus ball in the CXR and the details were of an alcoholic, IV abuser and homeless man and that™s about it. U had to play odds whether this was MAI or Miliary TB
12. A homeless, alcoholic, non-diabetic person, couple of things were happening to him suddenly has urethral pain becomes oliguric. Now they tell u that they saw stones under polarized light and they appeared to be biferingent. They show a picture of CS of Kidney all the background was blackened with scattered crystals emitting pink red hue to it. I tried to see even if they were octagonal or hexagonal but couldn™t figure it out. Now the question was that what do u give this person: - Steroids, Uricosuric agents, Chemotherapy, Diuretics, Balanced Diet. The difficult thing was that one had to be very sure of whether this is Amyloidosis or Simple increased Uric acid concentration which can be due to Increased NADH due to Alcoholism

22. CXR showing the posterior dislocation of the Shoulder joint which muscle is most likely to be injured
23. CXR showing the Superior dislocation of the Shoulder joint which structure is most likely to be affected
24. Brachial Plexus injuries >> I think the superior Cord
25. Medial nerve and its course
26. Fracture of Humeral Joint which specific artery and nerve is most likely to be injured
27. Rupture of the bladder due to trauma they show the dye with in the bladder and the outside the bladder and then they show MRIs and ask u where else is the Dye seen

34. Identify Small bowel Obstruction on XR
All these MRIs and CT were presented to me in the 5th and 6th block
35. A Gross pic of Hemorrhoids coming out of anus the pic was clear but full of blood so it was really hard to differentiate between hemorrhoids and anal fissure
36. 50 yrs female occult bleeding there is no family history of cancer. Show u a gross and a microscopic picture. Identify which sort of a polyp it was

43. Ant Mediastinum 5 XR where I had to pick one with an Adult with Thymoma
44. Compression of Sub-Clavian vein was given but described in such a way that it was very hard to figure out what it was. Because the Pt closely resembled a pericardial effusion u had to be very sure that the scenario was correctly described. The clue they had given u was presence of SIADH
45. Position of ventricles behind the sternum was asked in a way that it took me three reads to figure it out. Because the scenario was somewhat of a traumatic accident where the pt was hypotensive and had pericardial effusion but then asked u where the wound of entry was.
46. Vessel occlusion is told then they ask u tell whether the effect of Mitochondria in hypoxia can be identified by presence of in the cytoplasm
47. if a muscle is made to exercise for 10 mins and then made hypoxic then what will be found in the nuclear material in the cells
48. what actually causes the vessels to dilate in conditions of hypoxia and what happens at the cellular level where does the initial signaling starts
49. Which type of RNA will be found in the nucleolus if the muscle was made to exercise for 10 mins and then after vessel occlusion its made to exercise for one min
50. Germ cell tumor of ovaries.
51. Ca 125
52. AFP
53. why do the small arteries not respond to hypoxia of chemical nature
54. Pt had a time lag in the both his Radial pulses while both his carotids were normal. Coarctation of Aorta was told to u but u had to figure out where the pathology lies
55. PDA was asked in such a way that if don™t know the values of the Pressures in all the chambers of the Heart u r totally screwed. This is only given in UW and nowhere else.
56. MS was of an infant
57. MR of an old Polish lady along with a gross pic. They didn™t say it was MR u had to figure it out by the Gross pic
