Q.226. Misoprostol has been found to be effective in all of the following except:
1. Missed abortion.
2. Induction of labour.
3. Menorrhagia.
4. Prevention of post-partum hemorrhage (PPH).

Q.227. All of the following appear to decrease hot flushes in menopausal women except:
1. Androgens.
2. Raloxifene.
3. Isoflavones.
4. Tibotone.
Answer is 2             CMDT2004/1140
• Androgen deficiency contributes to hot flushes; loss of libido and sexual hair, muscle atrophy, and osteoporosis, selected women may be treated with low dose methyl testosterone. Androgen should not be given to women with liver disease; during pregnancy or breast-feeding.
• Raloxifene alternative to estrogen in postmenopausal women to prevent osteoporosis. But it does not reduce hot flushes, vaginal dryness, skin wrinkling, or breast atrophy. While it can lead to hot flushes as a side effect.
• Raloxifene increases risk of venous thromboembolism.
• Tibolone have mixed estrogenic, progestogenic and weak androgenic activity, it reduces the climacteric-related complication.
• Isoflavons - are phytoestrogen (soy phytoestrogen occurs nasturally)
- Bind weakly to E.R.? but strongly to E.R.B.
- Daily intake of Soy proteins reduces hot flushes by about 45% with in 12
weeks.

Q.228. In a case of Dysgerminoma of ovary one of the following tumor markers is likely to be raised:
1. Serum HCG.
2. Serum alphafetoprotein.
3. Serum lactic dehydrogenase.
4. Serum inhibin.
Malcolm Coppleson,
Gynecologic Answer is 3         Oncology 2nd ed/918-921.
Lipincott - Roven publication, S - Jean Emans, Marc
R - Pediatric and adolescent gynecology 4th ed./575.

Dysgerminoma is most common malignant germ cell tumor of the ovary, representing 2% of all ovarian malignancies.
LDH, PLAP, and CA 125 may be elevated and in some instances can serve as tumor marker. LDH in particular has been successful in predicting recurrence in testicular seminoma and dysgerminoma.
LDH is elevated in some patient with dysgerminoma, and the levels and the isoenzyme pattern (LDH-1 and LDH-2) may be useful in suggesting the diagnosis preoperatively.

3. Pathological dislocation.
4. Chronic osteomyelitis.

Q.233. In Radionuclide imaging the most useful radio pharmaceutical for skeletal imaging is:
1. Gallium 67 (67Ga).
2. Technetium-sulphur-colloid (99mTc-Sc).
3. Technetium-99m (99mTc).

Q.235. Subtrochanteric fractures of femur can be treated by all of the following methods except:
1. Skeletal traction on Thomas’ splint.
2. Smith Petersen Nail.
3. Condylar blade plate.
4. Ender’s nail.

Q235. Ref- Chapman”s orthopaedic surgery 3rd Ed ,Pg 655-660

-Locked medullary nails were used for closed nailing of proximal femoral fractures. All closed
adult subtrochantic fractures below the level of lesser trochanter can be safely nailed with first generation nail, regardless of the fracture pattern or degree of communition
-Ender”s nail has particular advantage in unusual situations where the soft tissues around the hip preclude the use of any device that enters for hip, and ender”s nail can be inserted through the knee
-Condylar blade plate is used for anatomic reduction and stable fixation of all fragments

Q.235. Apley’s Orthopedics 8th ed/694
Chapman’s orthopedic surgery 3rd ed/653.

Treatment of subtrochanteric fracture
• Open reduction and internal fixation is treatment of choice.
• Compression (Dynamic) Hip screw and plate is satisfactory.
• Intramedullary nail are equally good for stablization
• Devices used in subtrachenteric fracture are -
1)Locked nail (interlocking nail) - Altanail technique is reamed locked intramedullary nailing.
2)Zickel’s nail
3)Ender nail
4)95o blade plate.
5)95o dynamic condylar screw.
• There has been nearly a complete elimination of nonoperative treatment in adult and increase in
operative treatment of sub-trochanteric fracture.

Answer is (1).

Q.236. All of the following are true about fracture of the atlas vertebra, except:
1. Jefferson fracture is the most common type.
2. Quadriplegia is seen in 80% cases.
3. Atlantooccipital fusion may sometimes be needed.
4. CT scans should be done for diagnosis.
236. Apley’s Orthopedics 8th ed/650.

Fracture atlas -
• Jefferson fracture.
• Usually no neurological deficit.
• Fracture seen on open mouth view.
• CT scan is particularly helpful.
• Undisplaced fracture - Treated with semi-rigid collar or halo vast until fracture unite.
• If sideway spreading of latest mass (> 7 mm on open mouth view) or ruptured transverse ligament
or unstable injury - treated with holo cast for several weeks.
• If persisting instability on X-ray - a Posterior C1-2 (atlanto axial) arthrodesis is
considered.
• Fracture of atlas are associated with injury elsewhere in cervical spine in upto 50% of cases.
Odontoid fracture and hangman’s fracture should be excluded.

CAMPBELL’S operative Orthopedics 9th ed/2722
Chapman’s Orthopaedic Surgery 3rd ed/3674-77.

- The initial description of C1 arch was given by Jefferson (so fracture C1 arch in whole can be said Jefferson fracture). But typical Jefferson fracture is type III fracture, which having
fracture of both anterior and posterior arch of atlas. It is called the burst fracture (Jefferson fracture), which is characterized by 4 fracture - 2 in posterior arch and 2 in anterior arch.
- However most common injury is type I fracture which is isolated posterior arch fracture.
- It is result from the hyperextension - axial loading injury.
- Second M/c fracture is lateral mass fracture.
- Typical Jeferrson fracture is 3rd m/c fracture.

Hence only correct choice is (4).

But best answer of this question is (2), because neurological deficit is seen in atlantoaxial dislocation (even if it is also severe.

Q.245. Use of Seigel’s speculum during examination of the ear provides all except:
1. Magnification.
2. Assessment of movement of ithe tympanic membrane.
3. Removal of foreign body from the ear.
4. As applicator for the powdered antibiotic of ear.

Textbook of ENT by Mohd. Maqbool 10th ed/26

- Speculum consists of a 10 diopter lens and a side to be connected with a rubber bulb.
- An air tight system is produced in canal and pressure is increased by bulb.
- Speculum is useful for the following reason -
1) It gives a magnified view of the membrane
2) It is helpful to assess the mobility of the membrane.
3) The speculum is used to elicit the fistula sign.
4) By varying the pressure, discharge through the perforation can be sucked out as well as medication can be put into the middle ear.
