Explanation: [Wilms�?? tumor (nephroblastoma) is a mixed tumor containing epithelial and connective tissue elements arising from embryonic nephrogenic tissue. Ref: Bailey & Love�??s Short Practice of Surgery; 23rd edition; page 1196 �?? 1197 - "Dr. Sharad Chandra"] [Neuroblastoma is an embryonal tumor of neural crest origin that may arise anywhere in the sympathetic nervous system, including the neck (3%), posterior mediastinum (20%), pelvis (3%), para-aortic paraspinal ganglia (24%), and adrenal medulla (50%). 52 This is the most common solid malignant tumor of infancy and occurs in 1 per 7000 to 10,000 live births. Aganglionic megacolon is a neurogenic form of intestinal obstruction in which there is an absence of ganglion cells in the myenteric (Auerbach's) and submucosal (Meissner's) plexuses. Hypertrophic nerve fibers are often observed. The absence of parasympathetic innervation causes a failure of relaxation of the internal anal sphincter. Abnormalities in purinergic and peptidergic fibers and nitric oxide synthase deficiency have also been observed. - "Dr. Bruno"]

A 'Malignant pustule' is a term used for ?

A) An infected malignant melanoma


B) A carbuncle


C) A rapidly spreading rodent ulcer

D

Explanation: [Anthrax is found in cattle and is likely to be seen in people who handle carcasses, wool, hides, hair and bone meal. The cutaneous variety is the most common human variety; incubation period is 3 �?? 4 days. The lesion usually starts on an exposed portion of the body such as hands, forearms, or face. An itching papule occurs, around which a patch of induration soon becomes evident. The papule suppurates and is replaced by a black slough with a ring of vesicles appearing on the surrounding indurated area. This stage is typically known as malignant pustule.

A newborn baby had normal APGAR score at birth and developed excessive frothing and choking on attempted feeds. The investigation of choice is ?

A) Esophagoscopy


B) Bronchoscopy


C) MRI chest


D) Xray chest and abdomen wiht the red rubber catheter passed per orally into oesophagus

A



Explanation: [This is a case of -esophageal atresia with tracheo-esophagal fistula. Ideal investigation is: X-ray with -INFANT FEEDING TUBE - in infant's pharynx shows curling up of tube.. Here-RED RUBBER CATHETER.. THE CRUX-- infant feeding tube has a radio-opaque line that is visible on x-ray while red rubber catheter doesnt have any so it will not be visible in the xray so the next best out of the options given is esophagoscopy.. Here the examiner wants to know whether you know whythe things are done rather than what is done.] [Contributed by " Dr. Prashant Nageshwar" & "Dr. Rohit Tekriwal" via email, thanks...!!!]

A

Explanation:[Protracted and extensive vomiting in congenital hypertrophic pyloric stenosis leads to critical deficits of K+ and Na+; but much more striking are decrease in Cl - and H+ and increase in CO2 contents of blood (hypochloremic alkalosis). Correction of these chemical changes requires both Na+ and K+. Intravenous administration of 5% dextrose in isotonic NaCl solution (5% DNS) to which KCl is added in a concentration of 3 �?? 5 mEq / dL will gradually correct the calculated deficits of Na+, K+ and Cl -. may be studied at - Bailey & Love's Short Practice of Surgery;23rd edition] [Contributed by "Dr. Sharad Chandra" at forum & "Dr. Rohit Tekriwal" via email, thanks...!!!]
