General Medicine
Membranoproliferative glomerulonephritis is characterized by the deposition of immune complexes in the glomerular basement membrane and mesangium, leading to proliferation of mesangial cells and the formation of a dense, double-contour appearance. This can result in the deposition of fibrin in the glomerulus.

Conservative DentistryResin cements have the lowest solubility in the oral cavity due to their hydrophobic nature and polymerization process, which makes them highly resistant to water sorption and dissolution.

State PSC PYQThe viscerocranium, also known as the facial skeleton, is the part of the skull derived from the branchial arches, specifically the first and second arches.It forms the bones of the face and provides attachment for facial muscles.In contrast, the neurocranium (composed of the chondrocranium and desmocranium) forms the protective case around the brain.

ProsthodonticsMaryland bridges (resin-retained FPDs) depend upon micromechanical retention. The metal framework is etched or sandblasted to create surface irregularities that allow mechanical interlocking with resin cement. This micromechanical retention, combined with chemical bonding to tooth structure, provides adequate retention for conservative fixed prostheses with minimal tooth preparation.
