In human beings, gout is caused by

  1. Deficiency of iodine

  2. Excessive secretion of thyroid

  3. Excessive liberation of uric acid

  4. Deposition of uric acid
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
D Correct answer
Explanation

Gout is an inherited type of disorder in which body forms the excess amount of uric acid and the crystals of sodium urate that are deposited in the synovial joints and makes movement difficult, it generally affects one or two joints only, the occurrence of gout is related with diet.

So the correct answer is 'Deposition of uric acid'.

Deposition of monosodium urate causes

  1. Gout

  2. Arthritis

  3. Hypertension

  4. Both A and B
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
A Correct answer
Explanation
  • Gout is a metabolic disease in which crystals of uric acid (Monosodium urate) gets deposited in joints, tendons and surrounding soft tissues.
  • Diagnosis includes sudden onset of severe pains, swelling and redness of the joint in great toe of the foot, swelling of joints of the foot, ankle and hands, history of alcohol or red meat intake a day prior to painful attacks.
  • Hence deposition of uric acid in the joints causes gout.
  • So, the correct answer is 'Uric acid'.

Uric acid gets deposited in small joints to produce

  1. Rheumatoid arthritis

  2. Gout

  3. Osteoarthritis

  4. Bursitis
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
B Correct answer
Explanation
  • Rheumatoid arthritis- It is a chronic painful inflammation of the synovial membranes of many joints simultaneously.
  • Gout- Accumulation of uric acid and crystals of sodium urate in synovial joints that cause inflammation and makes movement difficult is called gout.
  • Osteoarthritis- It is the secretion of lubricating synovial fluid between the bones at the joint stops.
  • Bursitis- It is the inflammation of the bursae present in the joints caused by physical injury or constant pressure on a particular joint for a long time.
So the correct answer is 'Gout'.

Which one of the following diseases is caused due to immunological disorder against an unknown antigen?

  1. Stroke

  2. Tuberculosis

  3. Rheumatic arthritis

  4. Multiple sclerosis
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
C Correct answer
Explanation

  • Rheumatic arthritis is an example of an autoimmune disease that affects the joints.
  • The autoimmune diseases are generated due to the activity of the immune cells against the self-cells. 
  • The immune cells are not able to distinguish between the self and the non-self cells. 
  • There is no known antigen that can provoke the immune cells to show an immune response against the cells of the body. 
Thus, the correct answer is option C.

Gout is a

  1. Deficiency disease

  2. Infectious disease

  3. Degenerative disease

  4. None of the above
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
D Correct answer
Explanation

Gout is a clinical condition. Gout is a kind of arthritis. It can cause an attack of sudden burning pain, stiffness and swelling in a joint, usually a big toe. These attacks can happen over and over unless gout is treated. Over time, they can harm your joints, tendons and other tissues. Gout is most common in men. Gout is caused by too much uric acid in the blood. Most of the time, having too much uric acid isn't harmful. Many people with high levels in their blood never get gout. But when uric acid levels in your blood are too high, the uric acid may form hard crystals in your joints. It's not a degenerative disease, infectious disease and deficiency disease. Thus, option D is correct.

Still disease is a type of

  1. Arthritis

  2. Rickets

  3. Sprain

  4. Osteoporosis
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
A Correct answer
Explanation

Still's disease is an inflammation of joints causing arthritis which produces symptoms such as fever, rash, and joint pains. If it is not treated, the inflammation may destroy joints particularly the wrist joints. Steroids are used in treating this rare disease.

So, the correct answer is 'Arthritis'

Read the given statements and select the correct option.
Statement 1 : Inflammation of a skeletal joint may immobilise the movements of the joint.
Statement 2 : This is caused due to uric acid crystals in the joint cavity and ossification of articular cartilage.

  1. Both statements 1 and 2 are correct.

  2. Statement 1 is correct but statement 2 is incorrect.

  3. Statement 1 is incorrect but statement 2 is correct.

  4. Both statements 1 and 2 are incorrect
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
A Correct answer
Explanation

Both statements 1 & 2 are correct with respect to the skeletal joint.

So, the correct option is 'Both statements 1 and 2 are correct.'

Inflammation of synovial membrane produces

  1. Gout

  2. Rheumatoid arthritis

  3. Dislocation

  4. Osteoarthritis
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
B Correct answer
Explanation
Rheumatoid Arthritis is an autoimmune disease that particularly affects the synovial membrane of joints leading to excessive production of synovial fluid thereby stretching the joint capsule causing joint pains.
Osteoarthritis is an inflammation and damage of the articular cartilages of joints causing joint pains. It does not primarily affect the synovial membrane.
Gout or Hyperuricaemia is an excessive amount of uric acid in blood leading to the accumulation of urate crystals in the joints causing joint pains.
Dislocation of the joint is a condition where the bone slips out of the joint due to an injury.

So, the correct answer is 'Rheumatoid arthritis'.

Gout that leads to arthritis is associated with abnormality of

  1. Pyrimidine metabolism

  2. Purine metabolism

  3. Fat metabolism

  4. Protein metabolism
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
B Correct answer
Explanation
Gout or Hyperuricaemia is a condition of increased uric acid in the blood. Uric acid is the end product of purine(Adenine, Guanine) metabolism in the body.
Any abnormality in the uric acid metabolism can lead to overproduction of uric acid and excessive uric acid in the blood can lead to accumulation of urate crystals in joints causing inflammation of joints/arthritis.
So, the correct answer is 'Purine metabolism'
