Dear Doctors, Greetings from POSITIVE. By this time the ‘AIIMS-Fever’ would have subsided. Successful guys would have settled by now in the prestigious institute. POSITIVE’S best wishes and congratulations to all those successful candidates.Guys who couldn’t make it, will be (must be) horning their skills for the next battle-ALL INDIA-2008. At this juncture, we at POSITIVE, did a microscopic audit of the performance of POSITIVE this year, keeping AIIMS-NOV-2007 as the Gold standard.We were very pleased to know that around 150 questions from AIIMS-NOV-2007,has been discussed in the various programmes at POSITIVE,which by any yard stick is a decent performance. As Evidence based medicine is the current concept, we have provided the evidences for our claim. A question from AIIMS-NOV-2007 will be followed by the evidence from POSITIVE-the programme in which the concerned question was discussed. We have divided POSITIVE’s programmes as follows-a)MKM-Must Know MCQS-direct,indirect(22) b)POSITIVE model examinations,pretest,PICU-POSITIVE Intensive Care UNIT(14) c)OPERATION HARRI (62),d)Consultant’s discussion(55),MKT-Must Know Table(9) HAPPY NEW YEAR GREETINGS TO YOU AND YOUR FAMILY FROM THE ‘‘POSITIVE’’ FAMILY. POSITIVE’s advanced congratulations for the candidates who are putting up a sincere effort for ALL INDIA-2008.

of breath shortly after a 12-h automobile ride. The patient consults his internist, and findings on physical examination are normal except for tachypnea and tachycardia. An electrocardiogram reveals sinus tachycardia but is otherwise normal. All the following statements regarding this patient’s disease process are true EXCEPT (POSITIVE MODEL-4) a) An arterial blood gas measurement (ABG) is likely to reveal a partial pressure of oxygen (Paco2) of less than 80 torr b) An ABG is likely to reveal a respiratory alkalosis (an elevated pH and reduced partial pressure of carbon dioxide (Paco2) c) The patient should be admitted to the hospital, and if there is no cotraindication to anticoagulation, intravenous heparin should be started pending further testing d) Normal findings upon examination of the lower extremities are extremely unusual in this clinical setting e) The mortality for this condition, when untreated, is very high

33.Ans (d) Pulmonary Thrombo embolism

* The most common source of paradoxical embolism – Calf vein thrombosis * 50% DVT of pelvic veins, proximal leg veins → Pulmonary embolism (asymptomatic)

Physiological effects - ↑ Pulmonary vascular resistance - Impaired gas exchange (↑ dead space) - Alveolar hyperventilation - Increased airway resistance - ↓ Pulmonary compliance

Usual cause of death – Progressive RVF * Wells Diagnostic score - Maximum – 12.5 points - If ≤ 4 points, PE is only 8%

Character Points * Clinical signs and symptoms of DVT

3.0

* Alternative diagnosis is less likely than PE

3.0

* HR > 100 1.5 * Immobilisation or surgery in the previous 4 wks

1.5

* Previous DVT / PE 1.5 * Hemoptysis 1.0 * Malignancy 1.0

Clinical * Massive - Hypotension * Moderate or large

RV Hypokinesis - Normal pressure

* Small -RV Function – Normal-Pressure - Normal

Pulmonary infarction indicates small PE Symptoms & Sign

* Dyspnoea – Most frequent symptom * Tachypnoea – Most frequent sign * Signs of DVT – only in 50%

Investigations * Blood Tests - D-dimer > 500 ng/mL - PaO2, PaCo2 ↓ * ECG - Most frequent - ‘T’ wave inversion in V1 – V4 (RVstrain) - Tachycardia - ‘S’ in lead I - ‘Q’ in lead III Chest Xray A normal Xray in a Dyspnoeic pt → PE

* Westermark’s sign - Focal oligemia * Hampton’s sign(AIIMS-NOV-2007***)

* Peripheral wedge shaped opacity above the diaphragm

* Palla’s sign * Enlarged Right

descending pulmonary Artery

* Ultrasound – Loss of compressibility of vein * CT chest – supersedes lung scan * Lung scan – Two or more segmental perfusion defects in the presence of normal ventilation

ECHO - 50% normal - Mc Conell’s sign* - RV free wall Hypokinesis with normal RV apical motion → specific for PE

Pulmonary angio: - Most specific* - As small as 1-2 mm Intraluminal filling defect

2. Ans(d) In this case, the second part of the axillary artery is being compressed. Therefore, the anastomotic connection must be between a branch from the first part of the subclavian artery on one side and a branch from the third part of the axillary artery on the other side. Answer D is the only one that fits this requirement. The suprascapular artery, a branch of the thyrocervical trunk of the subclavian artery anatomoses with the circumflex scapular artery, a branch of the subscapular artery. The subscapular artery is a branch of the third part of the axillary artery.

surfactant EXCEPT(SESSION-32—Physiology-7-10-07-Q-6) A. It is secreted by Type II alveolar epithelial cells B. It reduces surface tension C. It decreases the compliance of the lung D. Its major constituent is a lipid

6. Answer is C Lipid molecule reduces the surface tension secreted by the type II alveolar cells The smaller alveoli tends to collapse and the larger alveoli tends to expand further according to law of Laplace P=2T/r According to law of Laplace theP1 is less than the P2 But both are exposed to same pressure,When tension is constant, the smaller alveoli tends shrink and larger alveoli tends expand-Alveolar instability.The surfactant molecule get arranged as single molecular layer over the alveolar air fluid interface layer.So the surfactant reduces the tension of smaller alveoli by crowding and increases the surface tension of larger one by separation in the layer

SESSION-ANATOMY-ABDOMEN (29-7-07) 9. A patient with pericarditis is complaining of chest pain. The pain is mediated through(AIIMS-NOV-2007***) a. Deep cardiac plexus b. Superficial cardiac plexus c. Inter costal brachial nerve d. Phrenic nerve* For explanation, refer to the MCQs of Thorax & Embryology discussed in the class. The fibrous pericardium and the outer layer of the servous pericardium are innervated by the somatic nerve i.e the phrenic nerve in this case and therefore are sensitive to pain. The superficial and deep cardiac plexuses are formed by autonomic fibres and they innervate the heart and the inner layer of the serous pericardium). Note that the outer layer of all three body cavities develops from the somatopleuric mesoderm and therefore are innervated by the nerves of the body wall. Hence sensitive to pain. The inner layer of the body cavities develops from the splanchnopleuric mesoderm and therefore is innervated by the autonomic nervous system. Hence insensitive to pain
