.Which of the following complications is currently the major
limitation to the long-term success of cardiac transplantation?
A. Allograft rejection
B. Graft arteriosclerosis
C. Graft atherosclerosis
D. Opportunistic infections
E. Lymphoma
.A 2-year-old retarded child is evaluated by a metabolic
specialist. The child's history is significant for failure to
thrive and progressive neurologic deterioration, including deafness
and blindness. Physical examination is remarkable for hepatosplenomegaly
, as well as a cherry-red spot on funduscopic examination. These symptoms are consistent with a diagnosis of
A. Hunter syndrome
B. Niemann-Pick disease
C. Pompe's disease
D. tyrosinosis
E. Tay sachs disease
.A child develops a tumor of the cerebellum. Biopsy reveals
evidence of both neuronal and glial differentiation. Which of the
following is the most likely diagnosis?
A. Astrocytoma
B. Glioblastoma multiforme
C. Medulloblastoma
D. Meningioma
E. Oligodendroglioma
.A 56-year-old man visits his physician with complaints of
complete exhaustion after mowing the lawn in his small front
yard. He also complains of dizziness, irritability, difficulty
sleeping, and loss of libido. On physical examination, the man's
skin, conjunctiva, and oral mucosa are pale. A blood test indicates
the man's hemoglobin is 7 g/dL. Which of the following findings is
also likely to be present in this man?
A. Bradycardia
B. Cyanosis
C. Low stroke volume
D. Warm hands
E. Wide pulse pressure
.A 55-year-old man had been in good health since receiving a heart
transplant for severe atherosclerotic disease. Five years after
transplantation, the patient died suddenly, without any premonitory
symptoms, while working in his garden. He had been maintained on
cyclosporin since his transplant. Which of the following complications
would most likely be found at autopsy in the transplanted heart?
A. Allograft rejection
B. Atherosclerosis of coronary arteries C. Graft vascular disease
D. Hyaline arteriolosclerosis
E. Hyperplastic arteriolosclerosis
An elderly lady is brought to the emergency room after drinking
insecticide that she thought was tea. After her stomach is pumped,
her sense of smell is tested and it is found that she can not distinguish
common smells (e.g., an orange, coffee). CT scan of the head demonstrates a mass in the olfactory groove area. The axons likely compressed by this mass project to which of the following structures?
A. Insula
B. Nucleus ambiguus
C. Post-central gyrus
D. Pre-central gyrus
E. Pyriform cortex
