a.Aminoglutethimide is an anti-steroid drug, It blocks the production of steroids derived from cholesterol and is clinically used in the treatment of Cushing's syndrome and metastatic breast cancer. It is also a drug of abuse by body builders.
Aminoglutethimide has a two mechanisms of action:
It blocks aromatase[2] in the generation of estrogens from androstenedione and testosterone.
It blocks the conversion of cholesterol to pregnenolone by inhibiting the enzyme P450scc and consequently decreases synthesis of all hormonally active steroids.
Side effects
Its side effects are skin rash, hepatotoxicity, inhibition of cortisol in the human body, and it may also cause hypothyroidism.Since cortisol helps break down muscle, aminoglutethimide is used by bodybuilders in a steroid cycle.
Clinical uses
Aminoglutethimide is indicated in conjunction with other drugs for the suppression of adrenal function in patients with Cushing's syndrome.
It is also a 2nd or 3rd line choice for the treatment of hormone sensitive (estrogen and progesterone) metastatic breast cancer.
Abuse
Aminoglutethimide is abused by body builders and other steroid users to lower circulating levels of cortisol in the body and prevent muscle loss. Cortisol is catabolic to protein in muscle and effective blockade of P450scc by aminogluthethimide at high doses prevents muscle loss
b. Metyrapone (Metopirone) is a drug used in the diagnosis of adrenal insufficiency and occasionally in the treatment of Cushing's syndrome (hypercortisolism).
Metyrapone blocks cortisol synthesis by inhibiting steroid 11β-hydroxylase. This stimulates ACTH secretion, which in turn increases plasma 11-deoxycortisol levels. When excess ACTH secretion is the cause of hypercortisolism, the metyrapone test helps clarify if the source of the ACTH is pituitary or ectopic (non-pituitary
Uses
Metyrapone can be used in the diagnosis of adrenal insufficiency. Metyrapone 30mg/kg, maximum dose 3000 mg, is administered at midnight usually with a snack. The plasma cortisol and 11-deoxycortisol are measured the next morning between 8:00 and 9:00 am. A plasma cortisol less than 220nmol/l indicates adequate inhibition of 11β-hydroxylase. In patients with intact Hypothamalmo-pituitary-adrenal axis, CRH and ACTH levels rise as a response to the falling cortisol levels. This results in an increase of the steroid precursors in the pathway. Therefore if 11-deoxycortisol levels do not rise and remains less than 7 mcg/dl then it is highly suggestive of impaired HPA axis.Metyrapone test may aid in verifying the cause of Cushing's syndrome. Most patients with pituitary dysfunction and/or pituitary microadenoma will increase ACTH secretion in response to metyrapone, while most ectopic ACTH-producing tumors will not. Pituitary macroadenomas do not always respond to metyrapone.
c.Mitotane, is a medication used in the treatment of the adrenocortical carcinoma.Mitotane alters steroid peripheral metabolism, directly suppresses the adrenal cortex and alters cortisone metabolism leading to hypocortisolism. Side effects include anorexia and nausea (88%), diarrhea (38%), vomiting (23%), decreased memory and ability to concentrate (50%), rash (23%), gynecomastia (50%), arthralgia (19%), and leukopenia (7%).
d.mirapex [ that’s the trade name for Pramipexole! And man are u expected to know that?] Pramipexole is used for treatment of Parkinsonism and paralysis agitans.
45. Best for diagnosis of primary hypothyroidism is:
a. Elevated TSH !

6. All are used in management of burns except:
a. Eusol
b. Silver sulphadiazine

a. Separation of ruptured ends of blood vessels due to separation of galea aponeurotica
b. Relatively More vascular area
c. Sub-periosteal bleeding from emissary veins
d. Tortous course of scalp blood vessels

8. Epleys maneurver is used for management of?
a. Beningn positional paroxysmal vertigo
b. Acoustic neuroma
c. Menerier’s disease
d. otosclerosis
Benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV) is caused by a rapid change in head movement. The person feels they or their surroundings are moving or rotating. Common causes are head trauma or ear infection. BPPV can be caused by debris in the semicircular canal of the ear that continues to move after the head has stopped moving. This causes a sensation of ongoing movement that conflicts with other sensory information. The review of trials found the Epley manoeuvre (four specific movements of the head and body designed to move the debris out the ear canal) is safe and effective.

b. Junction middle and inner third of line joining umbilicus with ant sup iliac spine
c. Junction inner and outer third of line joining umbilicus with ant sup iliac spine
d. Junction inner and outer third of line joining umbilicus with ant sup iliac spine


11. Marcus Gunn pupil seen in?
a. Neurosyphilis
b. Diabetes mellitus
c. Multiple sclerosis
d. Gullian barre syndrome.

Explanation: answer is C
Choice C: MARCUS GUNN pupil is weird pupil, which does not have a direct light reflex but has a consensual light reflex. HOW? Read on …………………………
Light reflex has an afferent pathway of optic and efferent pathway through Occulomotor nerve. The afferent info is sent via the lateral geniculate body to the edinger Westphal nucleus located in the midbrain. The basic point to be understood is that the Edinger westphal nucleus has a bilateral discharge i.e. if you shine a torch in lets say left eye of the patient, the left eye of the patient shows pupillary constriction known as DIRECT LIGHT reflex and the opposite eye also shows papillary constriction known as CONSENSUAL light reflex.

Multiple sclerosis as per English language means gliosis at multiple sites in the brain. These sites of gliosis are known as plaques and can be seen in an MRI. The plaques have a propensity to involve the optic pathway, mainly the optic pathway.
Assuming In case only the left optic nerve is affected the DIRECT light reflex on the left side will be afflicted. So the pupil on left side is not constricting. In these circumstances you shall now swing your torchlight to the right side and voila!!!! You manage to stimulate the edinger westphal nucleus, which has a bilateral discharge. You get a direct light reflex in the right eye and a consensual light reflex in the left eye.

Choice A: neurosyphilis has ARGYL ROBERTSON pupil. [Read it as ARP: ACCOMODATION reflex present, PRA – Pupillary reflex absent.]
Choice B: Diabetes mellitus neuropathy can have 3rd nerve palsy with pupillary sparing as per Harrison so light reflex would be preserved.
Choice D: Gullian Barre syndrome is a de-myelinating disorder of the spinal cord presenting with ASCENDING SYMETRICAL FLACCID paralysis. The cranial nerve involved in GBS is the 7th nerve and therefore can be easily excluded.


12. A pregnant woman on phenytoin presents to your clinic, which shall be the best recommendation for her?
a. Continue phenytoin add folic acid
b. Start phenobarbitone
c. Start phenobarbitone and folic acid
d. Start vigarbatrin and folic acid
EXPLANATION: answer is C
Phenytoin causes folic acid deficiency, which is obviously going to cause a dimorophic anemia in the mother. But at the same time the folic acid deficiency has been categorically linked to neural tube defects NTD, the most common being spina bifida occulta.
Hence it is prudent that phenytoin be withdrawn and cover up with phenobarbitone be recommended but with a COVER Of folic acid 0.4mg once a day.

13. Thyrotoxicosis patient presents with palpitations to the OPD. Best immediate management shall be?
a. Propranolol
b. Start propylthiouracil with propranolol
c. Start levothyroxine
d. Start carbimazole with iodine drops
EXPLANATION: ANSWER IS A
Thyroid hormones have a sympathomimetic effect via beta 1 receptors causing palpitations. At the same time they act via beta 2 receptors to cause tremors. Adding fuel to the fire is increased BMR causing heat intolerance.
Since this query does not talk about atrial fibrillation but simple presentation of the patient to the OPD the best answer shall be non selective beta blocker – propranolol.

Choice B would be prudent in case the question talked about a thyroid storm where propyl-thioracil would also prevent formation of T3 form T4
Choice C is used for hypothyroidism
Choice D is used for preoperative management of toxic nodular goiter to prevent the onset of thyroid storm
THYROTOXICOSIS

Primary
Secondary
Cause
L.A.T.S. long acting thyroid stimulator antibody, which mimics TSH.
Remember its different from T.P.O. thyroid peroxidase antibody which is seen in Hashimoto’s Thyroiditis
Pituitary adenoma
Manifestations
Young patient mainly women

Bilateral PROPTOSIS +
MYXEDEMA+
ACROPACHY+


No gender predilection

PROPTOSIS absent
MYXEDEMA absent
ACROPACHY absent
ATRIAL FIBRILLATION present


14. A patient of Tuberculosis present with malaise, fatigue and hyperpigmentation on flexural creases. On lab investigation sodium is 120meq /dl and potassium is 6.5meq/dl. Most probable diagnosis is
a. Addison disease
b. Conn syndrome
c. Secondary Hyperaldosteronism
d. Simmond syndrome
Explanation: Answer is A
Every time you read in any MCQ sodium and potassium values given together the MCQ is obviously gonna talk about aldosterone. The basic action of aldosterone is sodium and water reabsorbtion through the distal tubule and in return gives away potassium. Potassium is precious so after a while the body gives up losing potassium and in turn loses hydrogen ions.

Normal values
Sodium = 135-145meq/dl
Potassium = 3.5-5.5meq/dl
MCQ data states
Hyponatremia
Hyperkalemia

So obviously this MCQ is about hypo aldosteronism. Moreover the cementing point in its favor is hyper pigmentation due to ACTH increase by feedback mechanism.
Tuberculosis dissemination involves various organs incidence wise: peritoneum, genitourinary, Potts spine and adrenal in that order. So in this case TB has spread to the adrenal gland and damaged it causing Addison disease.
Most common cause of ADDISON disease is autoimmunity globally bout in India is TB
The manifestations are weakness due salt wasting, hyper pigmentation, Hyponatremia, Hyperkalemia and metabolic acidosis.
The IOC is ACTH stimulation test that will fail [miserably ………the gland is damaged.]
Drug support would be salt intake to be increased to 8gms /day with FLUDORCORTSIONE which has a high mineralo-corticoid activity.

15. Zollinger Ellison syndrome the best diagnostic protocol:
a. 24 hr basal acid output and maximal acid output.
b. 24 hr secretin study
c. 24 hr gastrin study
d. Histamine stimulation test

16. Bitemporal hemianopia is seen with
a. Pituitary tumor
b. Empty sella syndrome
c. Optic tract damage
d. Occipital cortex damage

17. Definitive diagnosis of phaeochromocytoma?
a. 24 hr urinary catecholamines
b. MIBG Scan
c. CTU
d. Metapyrone test

18. Vessel rupture in hypertension in all parts of the brain except:
a. Temporal lobe
b. Thalamus
c. Cerebellum
d. Putamen

ICH, bleeding occurs directly into the brain parenchyma. The usual mechanism is thought to be leakage from small intracerebral arteries damaged by chronic hypertension. Other mechanisms include bleeding diatheses, iatrogenic anticoagulation, cerebral amyloidosis, and cocaine abuse. ICH has a predilection for certain sites in the brain, including the thalamus, putamen, cerebellum, and brain stem. In addition to the area of the brain injured by the hemorrhage, the surrounding brain can be damaged by pressure produced by the mass effect of the hematoma. A general increase in intracranial pressure may occur.

http://www.emedicine.com/RADIO/topic604.htm
About 60% of patients have unilateral RB, with a mean age at diagnosis of 24 months, and about 40% have bilateral RB, with a mean age at diagnosis of 15 months. Mutations in the RB gene (chromosomal location 13q14) predispose individuals to the disease

The mortality rate associated with optic nerve invasion up to the lamina cribrosa is 15%; beyond the lamina cribrosa, the rate is 44%; and to the line of resection, the rate is 65%.

Preferred Examination
Detailed ophthalmologic examination includes indirect ophthalmoscopy, examination under anesthesia, visual field charting, and visual acuity testing. Routine systemic evaluations are performed, such as complete blood cell counts, liver function studies, and kidney function studies.
Fine-needle aspiration (FNA) biopsy can be used as a diagnostic modality in select intraocular tumors and similar conditions. In advanced cases, a metastatic workup must be performed, including a bone marrow biopsy, CSF cytologic tests for malignant cells, and bone scanning
Management
External-beam irradiation
External-beam irradiation is not used as often as some other therapies because of long-term radiation complications—the most important of which is the development of radiation-induced tumors—and because of greater success with other modalities (Shields et al, 2004). Patients with RB have a higher-than-normal incidence of secondary tumors, which is further increased by radiation. Radiation also arrests bone growth, resulting in an asymmetrical face. This treatment is, however, useful in patients who have progressive disease despite chemotherapy or who have marked vitreous spread.

Plaque radiation therapy
Plaque radiation therapy delivers radiation in a more localized manner than external-beam radiation, which, theoretically, should minimize development of radiation-induced tumors. Plaque radiation therapy is more effective for larger tumors than cryotherapy and photocoagulation. However, plaque radiotherapy has a higher incidence of localized radiation complications involving the optic nerve and retina. Commonly used plaques are cobalt-60 (60Co) and ruthenium-106 (106Ru).
Cobalt-60 ophthalmic plaques
Cobalt-60 eye plaques were the first type of plaque therapy used for intraocular tumors and act as a high-energy source. 60Co rings are encased in a platinum shell that does not block the radiation; therefore, 60Co eye plaques send out radiation in all directions. On a standard radiograph, a 60Co eye plaque demonstrates a spherical distribution of radiation.
Ruthenium-106 ophthalmic plaques
Ruthenium-106 ophthalmic plaques emit beta particles, which typically travel 4-5 mm into the eye. High-energy bremsstrahlung photons are also emitted, although they are minor components of the radiation dose.
Low-energy plaques
Low-energy plaques have largely replaced 60Co and 106Ru sources for plaque radiation therapy.

Treatment of metastasis
Post enucleation adjuvant therapy is safe and effective in that it significantly reduces the occurrence of metastasis in patients with RB that has high-risk histo-pathologic characteristics.
