which of the following type of tumour is usually most radio sensitive? lymphosarcoma/ osteosarcoma
lympho
68
The most radiosensitive tissue in the body is nerve cell muscle cell ovaries and testes or fat cell
According to the Law of Bergonie and Tribondeau, radiosensitivity is directly proportional to the reproductive capacity (mitotic rate) and inversely proportional to the degree of cell differentiation. Ovaries and testes (gonads) contain rapidly dividing, undifferentiated stem cells (spermatogonia and ovarian follicular cells) that are highly sensitive to radiation. Doses as low as 30 rads (300 mGy) to the testes can cause temporary sterility in men.
69
among the following treatment scheme, which one will be optimum for radiotherapy of a deep seated tumour single field arrangement to opposed Sandwich field arrangement two pairs of opposed field arrangement or crossfire arrangement
Crossfire Arrangement: This technique, also known as multiple-field external beam radiation therapy (EBRT) or intensity-modulated radiation therapy (IMRT) using multiple beams from different directions, is designed to deliver a high dose of radiation to the deep-seated tumor while minimizing damage to the surrounding healthy tissues and organs. By using multiple beams that converge at the tumor, the radiation dose is focused at the target, while the dose delivered to any single volume of healthy tissue along the path of each beam is kept low.
70

73
avulsion of tuber ischii can be treated successfully by closed or open method of intramedullary pinning or bone plating or none
None Avulsion of the ischial tuberosity (hamstring attachment) is usually treated non-surgically if minimally displaced, but displaced fractures (often >2cm) need surgery, with techniques like suture-bridge fixation (preferred for secure healing and early return to sport), screws, or plates being effective, rather than always intramedullary pinning. While some sources discuss intramedullary pinning or plating, suture fixation is a highly successful method for ischial avulsions, often combined with conservative care for non-displaced cases.

75
after cardiac impulse leaves the SA node and depolarises the aorta it goes to
AV node Sinoatrial (SA) node: Initiates the heart’s electrical impulse as the natural pacemaker. Atrial myocardium: Impulse spreads across atria, causing contraction and blood flow into ventricles. Atrioventricular (AV) node: Impulse delayed to allow atria to empty into ventricles before contraction. Bundle of His: Impulse passes from AV node into specialised fibres in the interventricular septum. Right and left bundle branches: Bundle divides, carrying impulse to respective ventricles. Purkinje fibres: Distribute impulse rapidly through ventricular walls. Ventricular myocardium: Impulse causes ventricles to contract, pumping blood to lungs
76
fresh myocardial infection is characterised on the ECG by
ST elevation and T wave inversion A fresh myocardial infarction (MI) on ECG shows ST-segment elevation (STEMI) or new left bundle branch block (LBBB) in two or more leads, indicating acute heart injury. ECG changes evolve as follows: 1. Hyperacute Phase: Tall, broad T waves in affected leads. 2. Acute Phase: Significant ST-segment elevation in at least two contiguous leads, with reciprocal depression in opposite leads. 3. Evolving Phase: ST elevation resolves, T waves invert, and pathological Q waves may develop. 4. Resolved Phase: ST segments return to baseline, T wave inversion may persist, and pathological Q waves remain.

77
which ECG features you would look for a patient who has hypokalaemia?
T-wave flattening, ST-segment depression, and prominent U waves. Early signs are T-wave flattening or inversion, while significant hypokalemia shows prominent U waves, often with U wave amplitude exceeding T wave when potassium is below 3.0 mEq/L. Widespread ST depression may mimic myocardial ischemia, and severe cases can show apparent QT prolongation due to merged T and U waves.

pulmonic stenosis is characterised by positive QRS complex or negative KRS complex or no change in QRS complex or absence of r wave
Pulmonic stenosis (PS) is characterized by ECG changes indicating right ventricular hypertrophy (RVH) resulting from pressure overload. The most characteristic ECG finding in the precordial leads (specifically V1) for moderate-to-severe pulmonic stenosis is a positive QRS complex (specifically a tall R wave or an rR' pattern). Key details: Tall R wave in V1: In moderate to severe cases, the right ventricular hypertrophy causes a high-amplitude R wave, or an R/S ratio greater than 1, in the right precordial lead V1. rSR' pattern: In some cases, an rsR' pattern may be observed in V1, representing incomplete or complete right bundle branch block (RBBB), which is common in PS. Right axis deviation: A rightward shift of the QRS axis is often present. RV Strain Pattern: In severe cases, ST-segment depression and T-wave inversion (negative T-wave) in the right precordial leads (V1-V3) are observed.
81
in the 2nd°, AV Block ECG shows which of the following? prolonged QT interval or absence of QRS and T wave or shortening of ST segment or P wave with directed downward
The correct option is the absence of a QRS complex and T wave following a P wave. In 2nd-degree AV block, not all atrial impulses conduct to the ventricles, resulting in "dropped" or missed QRS complexes. Explanation The defining characteristic of a second-degree AV block on an ECG is that some P waves are not followed by a QRS complex (and subsequently, no T wave, as the ventricles do not depolarize and repolarize). In Mobitz Type I (Wenckebach) second-degree AV block, the PR interval progressively lengthens with each beat until a P wave is blocked. In Mobitz Type II second-degree AV block, the PR interval of conducted beats remains constant, but some P waves are suddenly not conducted. Why other options are incorrect Prolonged QT interval is associated with conditions like Long QT syndrome, which affects ventricular repolarization, but is not the primary diagnostic feature of 2nd-degree AV block itself (though it can sometimes be a secondary finding in rare cases or in the context of very slow heart rates). Shortening of the ST segment is not a characteristic feature of AV blocks; ST segment changes are typically associated with myocardial ischemia or injury. P wave with directed downward (meaning negative in lead II) is a sign of an abnormal atrial rhythm (e.g., junctional rhythm), not a normal sinus rhythm, which has an upright P wave in lead II.

83
what ECG changes might be seen in patient, who is taking digitalis down deflection of ST, prolonged PR or wide QRS, shortened PR or prolonged QT interval or tall peaked T wave
In a patient taking digitalis (digoxin), you'd expect classic "digoxin effect" ECG changes like downsloping ST depression (scooped appearance) and shortened QT interval, with potential mild PR prolongation; these usually indicate therapeutic effect, not toxicity, but more severe changes like extreme ST changes or arrhythmias suggest toxicity. While wide QRS, tall peaked T-waves (hyperkalemia/ischemia), or very short PR/QT (channelopathy) can occur with digitalis, they often point to toxicity or other issues. Here's a breakdown of likely and possible changes: Hallmark Digoxin Effects (Therapeutic/Normal Finding): Downsloping ST Depression: Often described as "scooped out," "sagging," or a "reverse tick" appearance, this is the classic sign of digoxin effect. Shortened QT Interval: Due to increased vagal tone and direct myocardial effects, the QT interval can shorten. Mild PR Prolongation: Digoxin slows AV nodal conduction, leading to a slightly longer PR interval. Flattened or Inverted T Waves: T-waves can become less prominent or inverted, sometimes biphasic (initial negative, terminal positive).
84
Left ventricular enlargement shows:- (a) Prolongation of QT interval (b) Shortening of QT interval (c) Depression of ST segment (d) Prolonged QRS complex
Left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH) or enlargement is characterized on an ECG by increased QRS voltage, left axis deviation, and typical "strain" patterns, which include (c) Depression of ST segment and T-wave inversion in left-sided leads (I, aVL, V5-6). While QT prolongation can occur, ST depression is a primary diagnostic feature of the LVH "strain" pattern. Key ECG findings in LVH: ST-segment depression and T-wave inversion (Strain Pattern): Usually present in lateral leads (V5, V6, I, aVL). Increased Voltage: (e.g., Sokolow-Lyon index: S in V1 + R in V5/V6 > 35 mm). Left Axis Deviation: Commonly associated. QRS Prolongation: May occur due to increased muscle mass.
