Question 1

Cardiac valvular abnormalities associated with rheumatoid arthritis

Answer 1

Mitral and aortic regurgitation are the most common (mitral more than aortic) valvular manifestations of rheumatoid arthritis. Stenotic valvular lesions are not typically associated with rheumatoid arthritis.

Question 2

Brain glucose metabolism in the brain is approximately x mg/100 g/min.

Cerebral oxygen consumption (CMRO2) is normally x mL/100 g/min, or y mL/min.

Answer 2

Brain glucose metabolism in the brain is approximately 5 mg/100 g/min.

Cerebral oxygen consumption (CMRO2) is normally 3 to 3.8 mL/100 g/min, or 50 mL/min.

Question 3

glycopyrrolate effect on pupils

Answer 3

dilation (mydriasis)
