Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
C Correct answer
Explanation

Electron therapy or Electron Beam Therapy (EBT) is a kind of external beam radiotherapy, where electrons are directed to a tumor site. Electron beam therapy is performed using a medical linear accelerator. The same device can also be used to produce high energy photon beams. When electrons are required, the x-ray target is retracted out of the beam and the electron beam is collimated with a piece of apparatus known as an applicator or an additional collimating insert, constructed from a low melting point alloy. Electron beam therapy is used in the treatment of superficial tumors like cancer of skin regions, or total skin (e.g., mycosis fungoides), diseases of the limbs (e.g., melanoma and lymphoma), nodal irradiation, and it may also be used to boost the radiation dose to the surgical bed after mastectomy or lumpectomy.

  2. Prostaglandins and histamine

  3. Cerumen and prostaglandins

  4. Cerumen and mucus

Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
B Correct answer
Explanation

In localized infection, redness and heat are due to increased blood flow at body core temperature to the inflamed site, swelling is caused by accumulation of fluid, pain is due to the release of chemicals such as prostaglandin and histamine that stimulate nerve endings.Histamine are mono-amine produced from mast cells and basophils these are stored in preformed granules, and is released to a number of stimuli these lead to arterial dilation and increased venous permeability. Prostaglandins are eicosaniod produced from mast cells they leads to vasodilation, fever and pain. Hence, localized inflammatory response at the sight of infection producing redness, swelling, pain and heat is due to prostaglandin and histamine.

So, the correct answer is 'Prostaglandin and histamine'.

Which of the following is a pandemic disease?

  1. Filariasis

  2. Hepatitis

  3. Influenza

  4. Amoebic dysentery

Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
C Correct answer
Explanation

Pandemic is an epidemic of infectious disease that spreads through human populations across a large region; for instance multiple continents, or even worldwide. The World Health Organization (WHO) has a six-stage classification that describes the process by which a novel influenza virus moves from the first few infections in humans through to a pandemic. This starts with the virus mostly infecting animals, with a few cases where animals infect people, then moves through the stage where the virus begins to spread directly between people and ends with a pandemic when infections from the new virus have spread worldwide and it will be out of control until we stop it. A disease or condition is not a pandemic merely because it is widespread or kills many people; it must also be infectious.

Hence drugs such as aspirin and ibuprofen should be avoided as they may increase the risk of haemorrhage. 

Therefore, the correct answer is option B.
