A patient on warfarin sodium following myocardial infarction reports for an oral surgical procedure. Which one of the following laboratory tests should be preferred to ascertain the fitness
1. Prothrombin time
2. Tourniquet time
3. Clotting time
4. Bleeding time
Oral Pathology
Answer: 1
Prothrombin time should be preferred to ascertain fitness for extraction in a patient on warfarin.
Sickle cell trait patient do not have manifestations as that of Sickle cell disease, because-
1) 50% HbS is required for occurrence of sickling
2) HbA prevents sickling
3) 50% sickles
4) HbA prevents polymerization of Hbs
General Pathology
Answer: 1
HbA prevents sickling in sickle cell trait patients because the presence of normal hemoglobin (HbA) reduces the proportion of HbS, preventing polymerization.
Anitschow"s cells are found in histological sections of
1) Pemphigus
2) Aphthous ulcer
3) Leukoplakia
4) Lichen planus
Oral Pathology
Answer: 2
Anitschow's cells, also known as "caterpillar cells," are a type of histiocyte that can be found in the context of certain inflammatory conditions, including aphthous ulcers. These cells are indicative of a specific immune response and are often associated with the healing process of these painful oral lesions.
Green stains which occur frequently in children are due to
1. Enamel deficiency
2. Dentin deficiency
3. Material alba
4. Chromogenic bacteria
Oral Pathology
Answer: 4
Green stains in children are often due to chromogenic bacteria.
Letterer-Siwe disease is a disturbance of
1) Protein metabolism
2) Lipid metabolism
3) Mucopolysaccharide metabolism
4) Carbohydrate metabolism
Oral Pathology
Answer: 2
Letterer-Siwe disease is a type of Langerhans cell histiocytosis that is associated with disturbances in lipid metabolism.
Letterer-Siwe disease is a form of Langerhans cell
histiocytosis (LCH), which is characterized by the proliferation of
Langerhans cells, a type of dendritic cell involved in immune response. This
disease primarily affects children and can present with a variety of symptoms,
including:
Bone Lesions: Osteolytic bone lesions, particularly in
the skull, vertebrae, and long bones.
Skin Rash: Erythematous lesions or seborrheic
dermatitis-like rashes.
Hematological Abnormalities: Anemia, thrombocytopenia,
and leukopenia may occur.
Organ Involvement: It can affect multiple organs,
including the liver, spleen, and lungs.
Metabolic Disturbance:
Lipid Metabolism: Letterer-Siwe disease is associated
with disturbances in lipid metabolism, particularly due to the accumulation
of lipids in the affected tissues. The Langerhans cells in this condition
can exhibit abnormal lipid storage, which is a hallmark of the disease.
The function of the facial nerve is best tested by
1. Swallowing
2. Whistling
3. Protruding tongue
4. Moving the mandible side to side
The function of the facial nerve is best tested by whistling.
The minimum distance and angle between the X-ray source and operator should be at least
1. 6 feet, 45 degree
2. 6 feet, 135 degree
3. 9 feet, 90 degree
4. 9 feet, 120 degree
Oral Pathology
Answer: 2
The minimum distance should be 6 feet at a 135-degree angle for safety.
X-rays are generated when a stream of electrons travelling from tungsten filament is suddenly stopped by its impact on the
1. Gruntled filament
2. Anodic tungsten target
3. Cathodic tungsten target
4. Molybdenum lining of anode
Oral Pathology
Answer: 2
X-rays are generated when a stream of electrons traveling from the tungsten filament is suddenly stopped by its impact on the anodic tungsten target.
