7) A 26-year-old medical student is exposed to a patient who suffers from active pulmonary tuberculosis infection. Two years later, the asymptomatic medical student presents with a chest radiograph finding of a small calcified lesion in the right lung field.

Which of the following cells contributed most to the containment of the infection in this patient?

A decrease in pulmonary function is noted on testing. A lung biopsy specimen is shown below

Which organism is responsible? a) Enveloped double-stranded DNA virus b) Enveloped single- stranded RNA virus c) Filamentous gram-positive rods d) Nonenveloped double-stranded DNA virus e) Nonenveloped single-stranded RNA virus f) Trophic and cystic fungal forms

Which of the following is the most likely cause of this patient's symptoms? a) Atrial fibrillation b) Deep venous thrombosis of the lower extremities c) Focal segmental glomerulosclerosis d) Hypersensitivity interstitial nephritis e) Pulmonary hypertension

a) Atrial fibrillation so the patient had an ischemic stroke and that went to lodge into the *renal artery* causing a wedge shaped infarction of the right kidney.

16) The cardiac and venous return curves of a healthy person are shown below in solid lines. Which of the following is the most likely cause of the change depicted by the dashed lines?

a) Chronic arteriovenous fistula b) Acute gastrointestinal bleed c) Phenylephrine infusion d) Myocardial infarction e) Anaphylaxis

You can get this answer by looking at it in the form of *Pheochromocytoma* where there is excessive production of catecholamines such as Epinephrine and *Norepinephrine*.

and the treatment for *Pheochromocytoma* is *Phenoxybenzamine* which is vasodilator which then relieves the Hypertension due to Norepinephrine

The fluorescent areas on the slide most likely indicate the presence of which of the following substances? a) Albumin b) C1q c) C3b d) Fibrin e) IgE f) M protein

c) C3b PSGN = C3b & IgG

Drug A is most similar to which of the following agents? a) Atropine b) Labetalol c) Phenoxybenzamine d) Phentolamine e) Propranolol

c) Phenoxybenzamine Norepinephrine - alpha 1 agonist Phenoxybenamine- alpha 1 antagonist

function of *metalloproteinases*?

destruction of *Plaques*

d) Glomerular basement membrane disruptions and fibrin deposition on electron microscopy e) Discrete subepithelial humps on electron microscopy

e) Discrete subepithelial humps on electron microscopy HOAR-PRIMA PSGN- *Subepithelial humps*

Which of the following best describes the attack rate among all of the attendees who had potato salad? a) 8% b) 11% c) 13% d) 20% e) 28% f) 30% g) 34% h) 47%

g) 34% (3+ 5 + 3 + 14)/ (10 + 25 + 8 + 30) = 25/73 = 0.34 = 34%

28) An 8-year-old boy is brought to the office due to facial puffiness. His mother reports that the child is easily fatigued and has cola- colored urine. A review of the patient's medical record shows that he was treated for a skin infection 3 weeks ago but has no chronic medical

problems. His temperature is 36.1 C (97 F), blood pressure is 134/85 mm Hg, and pulse is 88/min. After appropriate workup, a kidney biopsy is performed, and the immunofluorescence findings are shown on the slide below.
