Description: GRRL ‘s account was recently terminated due to excess SoundCloud takedowns (Booo!!), but it was cool to see pretty much the entire SoundCloud community showing their support for GRRL at the time. As Obi Wan said, “If you strike me down, I shall become more powerful than you can possibly imagine”, and GRRL is already back to 1K followers in the short time following the account termination. So we’re back! And for this month’s edition of GRRL X NEST HQ, the rising selector and producer gives us an epic 70 track playlist to dig into. Enjoy GRRL X NEST HQ 005 below, complete with GRRL’s commentary on each track.
knife city – King Noah
This is so gorgeous! I remember freaking out about it when it was played on Radio Jack earlier in the year, and I’m so happy it’s finally out. It’s just so good!
Swisha Sweet – Da High
Swisha remix Kelela at 160. It fits so well. I kinda want Kelela to do a footwork track now!
DJ MasterCard – Always
My favorite track of MasterCard’s latest EP. So relaxing.
Ticklish – Stronger
This makes me want to play some PS1 racing games. The classic house-y, jungle vibes are so comforting to me. I love it.
Unlock the Swag (MoonDoctoR Remix)
I didn’t really get this one the first time I listened to it. It’s actually genius.
EQ Why – Keep Cryin
There’s not much to say about it. It’s, like, perfect.
Thought Tempo – (The Flow) (DJ Earl Remix)
It’s weird to see DJ Earl on Zoom Lens, but also really cool!
Jlin – Nandi
Jlin is the future. I’ve said, like, a million times and I’ll keep doing it. This is from her new EP on Planet Mu, and you need to buy it. Nobody else sounds like her.
Iglooghost – Xiangjiao (kidkanevil Remix)
This is so cute and fun. I love it to DEATH.
Rockwell – Itsok2bhapp-E ft. Sam Binga and Hydroglifics
Rockwell – Rave Cult
Rockwell – Lines of Ground Glass
There are three Rockwell songs in this playlist because I literally could not pick just one out of the 15 track off Obsolete Medium, so I narrowed it down to these three. I don’t really like the term “forward-thinking,” because people kinda of just throw it around, but Obsolete Medium really does feel like an evolution of DNB and Rave Music. It’s just so much fun to listen to, and it doesn’t take itself too seriously. It’s a really nice change!
Decimal Bass – Work for Nothing
2015 is the year I came to love half time DNB. I didn’t think that would happen.
Clint – Frame
Really fun!
Elf Kid – Oh Gosh (Boylan Remix)
Edgem Recs is pushing some massive, apocalyptic grime vibes. This Boylan remix is fucking crazy. Definitely check our Edgem’s “Terror Foretress” EP if you haven’t already.
Ziro – Strafe (ft. Bloom)
Bloom has a really strong, identifiable sound, but I don’t know what to call it? It’s intense.
Timbah – No Bootlegs
BASS BASS BASS
Ultramiedo – Ortopedia Dance
This one goessssss
Bleaker – Hype (Broken Haze BetaPack Mode Remix)
This remix is literally bouncing off the walls.
Jook – Tokyo Drift
It’s 2015 and I’m beyond done with Tokyo Drift remixes, but this one is actually really good. There’s a little bit of a grime edge to the bass and it gets to me, man.
Ruff Sqwad – PiedPiper (DoubleClapperz VIP)
DON’T SLEEP ON DOUBLECLAPPERZ! They’re killing it and you should be paying attention.
JT – Wire Mountains
JT the Goon makes really pretty music. I’m in love with the instrumentation on this track.
Slackk and Dullah Beatz – Forest Walk
I love these squaressssss, man. I think I just really like the sound of pan flutes.
Tom E. Vercetti – Future Perfect
Floating to this BRB.
The Sprawl – From Wetware to Software
I would love a remake of Metroid Prime and have The Sprawl do the score.
Mic Ty – Knewham (Iglew Devil)
This one is so raw.
C.Z. – I Don’t Feel Good (EP Sampler)
Dreamy.
Moslem Priest & Mysteriz – Skeletal Banshee (Death Percussion)
Perfect set opener.
Fawkes – Seventh Greyknot
Fawkes – Invocatio
Both the tracks of Fawkes’ recent “Dusk Dawnflower” EP are in this playlist because I want to make sure you don’t miss this EP. It’s gorgeous. There’s so really haunting, pretty textures. Go buy it.
EPROM – Pineapple
EPROM has a new SoundCloud (and KyttenJanae visuals!), and a more refined sound. There’s no information about this track, really. It’s heavy.
Riff Raff – Tip Toe Wing In My Jawwdinz (Mr. Carmack and Big Makk Remix)
Mr. Carmack and Big Makk made Riff Raff listenable. It’s a miracle.
AWE – 3MV
I love this. This is a perfect single.
WTH (Dream Team Remix)
DJ Delish is one of my favorite producers of 2015. His music totally has its own flavor. This is a slower remix from his side project OvahUndah, branching out from ballroom vogue stuff. I want to hear more of this!
Holloway – Annoushka (Akito Remix)
This is exactly the type of music I love to play live. It’s so good.
Nina Las Vegas – Contagious (ft. Snappy Jit)
This is instantly classic. NLV doing doing drumline.
Burnitup! (Skyshaker LaBeija LSS Edition)
This is Skyshaker’s first release as part of Qween Beat, and I can’t wait to hear more. Don’t sleep!
???? – WORK
Mysterious industrial basketball reveal your secrets???
L-Vis 1990 – Ballad 4D VIP (Dehousy Edit)
Dehousy giving L-Vis’ original a heavier edge.
Ellie Herring – Why’d You
That bassline is so fun!
Taskforce – Liquid Cooled
This EP is so good!
Patrick Brian – 8 Months
This is really nice. I don’t know how to classify it? Maybe RNG? Jungle? It doesn’t really matter. It’s my favorite track off Patrick Brian’s latest EP of the same name.
Superficie – Fog Shield (Lars Warn Dub)
Metal gear techno!
Doctor Jeep – Pitch Black
This is so heavy! It’s so hype.
DJ Lag – ITHUNA (Grave Yard)
Gqom!
French Fries – Working on a Dream
Clek Clek Boom music is, like, the kind of music I have on when I’m cleaning the house, which isn’t bad thing! It’s just so pleasant to listen to and I kind of want to all the time.
Track and Field – Soverign EP Showreel
Track and field is a collective of UK producers Deamonds, P Jam, Dean Lyon and Neana. I think this just released on vinyl only in the UK? I really need all of these tracks digitally. If you like Gang Fatale you’ll be all over this.
Lechuga Zafiro – C vs S ft. Triangulation Kultural
Go get Lechuga Zafiro’s “Aequs Nyama” EP. It’s amazing. I’m really happy to see Naafi/Salviatek on the rise.
Estrenos – Bin Danza (Riobamba & False Witness Edit)
I want to drop this live. It would go off!
J(ay).A.D – Thinking About You
SHmbols has be killing it this year. Solid release after solid release. I’m paying attention!
Mhysa – Power Cuts (feat. Chino Amobi)
Support NON Records. This track is like a movie.
Michael – Club (Impromptu) (Lee Bannon Remix)
I feel like I’ve included EFN releases on the past few GRRL X NHQ playlists. This one’s really good!
DJ Haus Feat. Chanbray – Houz Muzik
It’s wonky like DJ Haus, and relentless like Chambray. If somebody played this live I would freak out. Theres just something about Chambray’s maxed-out ghetto house/warehouse vibe that gets me so hype.
Strict Face – Rouge Face
NLV picked the best of the Australian underground for the NLVR Sampler. I never get tired of Strict Face’s music.
FVLCRVM – Jet City
F-Zero victory vibes.
Iglooghost – Chinchou / Melon Lantern Girl’s Choir
I want to live in Iglooghost’s world. Every release is like taking a step further into it.
Tennyson – Like What?
Tennyson’s new “Like What” EP might be one of my favorites released this year. Just listen to it. You need it in your life. It makes me feel good.
Diveo – Fever Dreams (feat. Taylor Fernandez)
This is outstanding. I’m not going to pick favorites (it’s like picking which one of your 70 kids is your favorite), but track is totally my favorite. It was the one that I came back literally every day since it came out. I love hearing the refinement of Diveo’s sound. He’s doing some really, really next-level writing and production (his choice of vocal collaborators is top-notch, too). Perfect.
Yoshino Yoshikawa – Inventions and Cuties
This is so cute it’s scary. I love it so much. It’s like candy.
DZZ – Build Me
The longest running narrative in these playlists is me telling you to never, ever sleep on DZZ. DON’T SLEEP.
Alizzz – Your Love (feat. Max Marshall)
Moving Castle is perfect contemporary pop.
Morgan Hislop – A Heat Thag Melts The Thoughts In Your Head (feat. Ducky)
So funky!
16 yr old – Ever Told (feat. dutchboy & divine)
This is so polished. It’s crazy. I love it so much.
Jeff Chery – Power (prod. Sam Tiba)
Sam Tiba working with rappers is my favorite thing ever. I can’t wait for this EP. Bromance has been killing it!
Sevdaliza – Men of Glass (feat. Rome Fortune)
Sevdaliza’s music is really exciting. She has yet to release something I don’t like. This track specifically reminds me of the first time I heard Björk music, in the best way.
CL – Hello Bitches
CL is such a badass. She’s the best.
J Hus – Lean & Bop (Bok Bok Remix)
This is the catchiest song I’ve ever heard. Holy shit. This is like grimy DJ Mustard.
MM – Charly Tek.
This is such a fucking jam. I love the 100 BPM side of Her as much as I do the 130+.
DJ Karaoke – MIX FOR THUMP BRRRRRRRAZIL
I really, really, really love all the new DJ Karaoke music in this mix. It’s so pretty and really club heavy at the same time. I need more!
Hi Tom Mix 4 Turban | Radio Wave
I love hearing the evolution and refinement of Hi Tom’s sound. He’s long been one of my favorite producers, and I can’t wait to see where he goes. I feel like it’s only a matter of time.

Description: Hugh Jackman est un acteur et chanteur australien, né le 12 octobre 1968 à Sydney (Australie).
Diplômé en journalisme de l'Université technologique de Sydney, Hugh Jackman étudie la comédie à la Western Australian Academy of Performing Arts située en Australie, avant de débuter devant la caméra dans la série télévisée australienne Correlli en 1995. L'acteur fait ses débuts sur grand écran en 1999 dans la comédie romantique Paperback Hero. C'est en 2000 qu’il connaît la consécration internationale en remplaçant au pied levé Dougray Scott, monopolisé par le tournage de Mission impossible 2, dans le film X-Men réalisé par Bryan Singer.
En 2001, Hugh Jackman interprète un hacker surdoué dans le thriller Opération Espadon. C’est l'occasion, pour celui que certains comparent à Clint Eastwood, de donner à nouveau la réplique à Halle Berry (sa partenaire dans X-Men) et de tenir tête à John Travolta.
Souhaitant confirmer la capacité de l'acteur à porter un blockbuster, le réalisateur Stephen Sommers et les studios Universal lui proposent d’incarner le chasseur de vampires Van Helsing dans le film éponyme en 2003.
Toutefois, l'acteur cherche également à élargir son répertoire en jouant dans des comédies romantiques face à Ashley Judd (Attraction animale, 2001) et Meg Ryan (Kate & Leopold, 2002).

Description: Well, I know that some of ya wanted to see a recent photo of myself so like man... HERE IT IS! Yeah, the receding hairline doesn't do me justice and I must admit that I photograph fatter'n I really am and maybe I shoulda put a smile on my face, but be glad to know that the photographer had an age-spot screen on his camera and I did manage to pop out all of those icky blackheads that gather on my nose...well, all except that big honker on my right nostril. And rilly, that strand of drool hanging from my lip? I kinda look like I'm in the tenth hour of a starvation diet dreaming of the three-course meal everyone else is eating in the other room! Mebbee I should use this as my profile pic 'stead of the Creative Construction Company cover painting that's adorned this blog for almost a good decade or so! As usual, your votes won't matter.
Here's wishing you a happy Pearl Harbor Day. Go out and get bombed! Tryin' to get in gear for the Christmas season now that we're only like three weeks away from the Big Day. Most if not all of the presents will be mailed out to various friends and fambly in about a week or so, and those who are receiving their goodies via the internet have (undoubtedly) mistakenly sent their special goodies to spam. Be careful guys, that ain't no million dollar viagra account from a Ugandan bank I'm sendin' ya! As for me, I've been passing time (and gas---hey my bedroom didn't get fart encrusted because of my pet Enchilada!) by reading old books including Charles Shaar Murrays' SHOTS FROM THE HIP which believe-it-or-naught was the first book I ever writ up on this blog (holds up though the Jerking Working Class Socialist opines overcome the clear writing much if not most of the time) as well as a slew of old ARCHIE digests that my cyster picked up for me at some junk shop that are good for the older reprints only (the new stuff's strictly for prepube gals to read at slumber parties). And of course I'm digesting a whole batch of new books and mags that you'll be reading about on BLOG TO COMM as the weeks progress, so don't touch that knob, slob...keep tuned to BLOG TO COMM same fanabla-time, same fanabla-station!
Sven-Ake Johansson-KONZERT FUR 12 TRAKTOREN picture-disc LP ( Trost, Austria)
I guess if someone could write a concerto for a choir of gas-laden bowels one could be written for a dozen tractors. And that's just what longtime Swedish free jazz maverick Johansson did on this recording which featured him conducting a slew of those popular farm machines with the big wheels on the back as if they were tubas or perky children singing "Kumbaya". The resultant roar does conjure up images of what John Cage might've cooked up had he took a job pitchin' hay to make ends meet what with engines roaring and idling making for some of the best music heard since my last trip to the ironworks. Side two's a mesmerizing drone similar to Ayler's BELLS so you know where Johansson's personal tastes in music lie. The lost episode of GREEN ACRES nobody wants to remember.
*** Mirage-OUT OF LUCK, OUT OF MONEY CD-r burn (originally on Stallion Records)
Many of these locally-produced seventies albums that I've heard over the years are nothing but eighties flea market fodder, and OUT OF LUCK, OUT OF MONEY is no exception. But that doesn't mean that there still ain't a lick of goodness and hard-to-find entertainment value lurking within. Yes, between the riffs stolen/approximated from everyone from the Jefferson Starship to the Steve Miller Band there's a halfway-there album lurking about, though frankly it ain't anything that I'd particularly like to cuddle up to on these chilly evenings we've been experiencing as of late. Back to the bars guys and who knows, maybe they'll let you perform at least one cut from this 'un in between the top forty covers.
*** CHARLES MINGUS & THE JAZZ WORKSHOP ALL STARS 3-CD set (Air Cuts England)
Live AM radio broadcasts from Birdland ca. early-sixties don't really do justice to the Mingus legacy, but I find these recordings of boffo bootleg-level performances better'n well... nothing. Moving at times, feh at others but still a good enough encapsulation of the whole Mingus mystique and legend that really coulda gone off the deep end at times. If you're partial to the Atlantic albums that Mingus was cranking out at the time (and kinda shuddered at some of those recordings he did was doing right around the end) this might be a good 'un to pick up...at least after hearing all of the crucial ones. BTW, didja know that (according to their website) Mingus attended the release party that was held for the Hampton Grease Band's MUSIC TO EAT double-duty album, even though it was only for the free food?
*** Zenith Effluveum-ALMOST MADE IT IN THE USA CD-r burn (originally of Separate Records)
A whole lotta the progressive rock that I've heard o'er the past fortysome years might have sounded pretty boffo, innovative and just as good as Mantovani had at first, but after awhile a good portion certainly had me thinkin' BOY WAS I DUPED! Of course there were exceptions to the rule like the German "expressionist" groups, Roxy Music, Savage Rose etc. but then again those acts coulda easily been categorized into the same niche where such stellar musical mavericks as the Velvet Underground and even the Stooges reside. Rochester's Zenith Effluveum fall into the latter category with this 1978 platter sounding closer to the freakier side of the import bin (Canterbury and kraut via French RIO with a few sidesteps into Roxy and King Crimson) along with old standbys like Cap'n Beefheart hanging by handily enough. The results aren't quite staggering but will perk your earlobes more'n Sam's because this sure ain't the kind of prog rock that soothed your willing AOR fan into a somber slumber with visions of dragonslayers and cleavage-laden maidens in danger the way Yes sure did! Features 2/3rds of Distorted Levels and no, contrary to rumor Greg Prevost was not a member of the group!
*** The Ventures-IN SPACE CD-r burn (originally on Dolton)
It probably will seem surprising to you but I've actually enjoyed the variety of Ventures albums I've picked up at flea markets over the past few decades, and this particular item is, as the old cliche goes, no different. Sure this early-'64 entry can tend to get prune juice on you with its inability to match up with the original hit versions, but as far as cheap-o imitations go these really can't be beat as far as your budget-level fun and games suburban slob ranch house living goes.
OK the TWILIGHT ZONE theme sounds nothing like the original (other'n having the same "Out of Limits" opening guitar line, only played correctly ) and their version of "Penetration" lacks the backbone that made the hit so potent, but at least we do get a version of fellow labelmates the Frantics'"Werewolf" and some rather driving guitar-based instrumentals complete with a haunting keyboard that sounds similar to all of those chord organs that were cluttering up the bottoms of Christmas Trees from about 1962 until at least the end of the decade.
Re-live your Christmas childhood pasts with OUT OF LIMITS and scour the flea markets/antique shops for a cheap console, aluminum Christmas tree, all the toys you wanted then but didn't get and don't forget the colon ashes for brother Michelangelo! It's sixties X-mas all over, and if you have kids boy will they THANK you for bring back that REAL spirit of the holidays that's been so long gone that even YOU probably can't even remember when it was thee main event o' the year!
*** Various Artists-THE MEN WITH THE DEADLY DREAMS CD-r burn (originally on White Stains Tapes, England)
Like many a folk who thought small is beautiful, I was a big fan of the cassette player for many a year. When the underground hubbubbers decided that cassette-only album and releases were the hotcha thing 'round 1981 way I felt that mankind had advanced a step or three! Instead of going through the process of recording their own album and dishing out big bux to have it pressed, groups could now record an album on a cassette recorder in their garage, make dubs, and thus have an album on tape available for the ten friends who wanted it and at minimal charge t'boot!
Of course there were tons of quickie nobodies releasing their nothing wares on tape, but then again there were tons of vital recordings (the English anarcho-punks were good at this) that put out a slew of rare and vital mutterings on a variety of releases that represent the entire genre more than some of their vinyl releases had.
This particular release features the more out-there of early-eighties atonal screech done up by the same artists who were spinning Stockhausen and AMM when they shoulda been listening to King Crimson but don't you dare tell them that! Most of it is whatcha'd call post-Cabaret Voltaire, but there are some interesting tape splices and experiments to contend with. Self-indulgent at times but so what, THE MEN WITH THE DEADLY DREAMS ain't no cheap flash. It can get pretty nerve-wracking if you're not accustomed to this brand of soundswill, but if you can and have been latching onto the artists involved (everyone from Eyeless in Gaza and Rema Rema to Cabaret Voltaire's own Richard H. Kirk) ever since them BIG DAYS you might just wanna search for an available and free download.
*** HERE COME THE HARDY BOYS CD-r burn (originally on RCA)
Considering that I had been conscripted for home 'n garden duties on Saturday mornings by this time in my life I can't say that I was that familiar with the ABC-TV animated Hardy Boys series. And frankly I wasn't familiar with the two albums that were released during the series' run as well, so giving a listen to this particular release was just as good as if I were to prowl through the budget records that you used to find at RADIO SHACK in 1976 and played all of the early-seventies pop refuse on one of their cheezy stereo systems right inna store. Bubblegum rock was starting to lose its flavor and stretchability once the flashoid sixties began clocking their way into the socially aware seventies, and this particular platter with its slick production and puppy love lyrics just wasn't gonna cut it with a good portion of the female audience it was aimed at! Sheesh, could you have seen your cyster spinning this one on her portable player in her bedroom as her girlfriends and she talked about the bulges seen during the boys' gym class? Me neither!
*** Henry Jacobs-THE WIDE WEIRD WORLD OF SHORTY PETTERSTEIN CD-r burn (originally on World Pacific)
It's too hipster bop for me, but if yer the kinda guy who goes hog wild for fifties shoo-bee-doo-bop humor the way them San Fran beach types dug it you might groove-y doove to it more'n I ever could. Pacifica Radio personality Jacobs plays studio on these late-fifties skits that seem to predate a whole load of future comedy platters both good and bad doin' that beatno thing, and if you like obscure skits (chock fulla studio phasing) that sound like Monty Python twisted through old Jack Kerouac scratchies BINGO!!! However its on the side of fifties satire that doesn't gag me the way Kurtzman or Kovacs could, so just see me givin' this 'un another spin! For espresso schleps only.
*** Cherokee Mist-ANTHEM OF THE MOON CD-r burn (originally on Euphoria)
Given the group's name and album title I thought this was some late-sixties self-produced hippie platter done up by a buncha Marin County holdups cloistered in their log cabin somewhere. ANTHEM OF THE MOON, surprisingly enough, was recorded in the late-nineties, though I must admit that the sound and vibe of this is firmly entrenched in the hard and heavy late-sixties which should satisfy the more lysergic amongst us.
Side one ain't that hotcha and in fact is kinda like a rambling jam that starts cooking in spots yet doesn't reach the expected heights leaving you kinda hungerin' for more. The flip fares somewhere better beginning with a Hawkwind riff that soon turns into yet another hard 'n heavy post-Hendrix workout that really ain't that bad. Then again it ain't as hard-hitting as similar offerings that were going on in the English underground (Deviants, Pink Fairies,  the aforementioned Hawkwind...) but if you can download it on-line like Bill did you might just have a handy copy ready for your next Coke and aspirin trip.
*** Pezband-THIRTY SECONDS OVER SCHAUMBURG CD-r burn (originally on PVC Records)
Yuh, Pezband never did become the late-seventies answer to the Raspberries like Greg Shaw thought they shoulda, but they really did give it a good go even if PVC records didn't quite have the same push power as Capitol. On this '78 live slice which packs all of the power of a hot FM broadcast most stations woulda been afraid to air, Pezband sound a whole lot harder'n sweater'n I remembered these guys to have been on their studio efforts. Nothing wimpoid here brudda...quite energetic in a late-seventies Cle pop vein a la the Andy Gerome Band and other acts that unfortunately fell into the abyss of a late-seventies world that couldn't see beyond their SGT. PEPPER'S soundtrack albums. Brings back a whole lotta memories of what coulda been had the Big Beat only manifested itself in in the brains of teenage Ameriga like I (and presumably you) sure hoped it would.
*** Various Artists-GOLDEN MARTINIS COW DISGUSTED CD-r burn (Bill Shute)
Bill didn't leave any info on this one so I guess I'll have to wing this collection of downright weirdities. The ol' scratchy 78 of some guy singing comedy numbers was mildly entertaining, as were those Japanese pop rockers featuring some teenage-sounding gals singing about Gold Beetles and Yokohama first in their native tongue and then in English. The vintage ads not to mention the theme from THE MAGNIFICENT SEVEN were pretty nostalgic for this guy who still can't get enough of 1962 and gets way too much of 2015, and believe it or not but for the life of me I can't remember anything else about this 'un which shows you just what kind of a sieve-like head I have! Odd enough cover on this one, featuring the famed visage of that up and coming movie personality... SONNY TUFTS?!?!?!?!?

(B) Ipsilateral loss of touch and pressure below the level of lesion
(C) Ipsilateral hyperesthesia at the level of lesion
(D) Ipsilateral motor and vasomotor paralysis
Ans. A
That eccentric experimentalist, Charles Edouard Brown-Sequard, flitted restlessly between the major cities of the old and new worlds in the nineteenth century, replacing outdated concepts with new ideas of his own concerning the operation of the nervous system in health and disease. He used the experimental approach to generate hypotheses but had no interest in showing by meticulous study that his views were correct, leaving this to others.
Patients with Brown-Séquard syndrome suffer from ipsilateral upper motor neuron paralysis and loss of proprioception, as well as contralateral loss of pain and temperature sensation. A zone of partial preservation or segmental ipsilateral lower motor neuron weakness and analgesia may be noted. Loss of ipsilateral autonomic function can result in Horner syndrom

(A) Mamillary bodies
(B) Midline cerebellum
(C) Periacqueductal gray matter
(D) Dorsomedial thalamus
Ans A
Brain atrophy associated with WKS occurs in the following regions of the brain; the mamillary bodies, the thalamus, the periaqueductal grey, the walls of the 3rd ventricle, the floor of the 4th ventrical, the cerebellum, and the frontal lobe. The amnesia that is associated with this syndrome is a result of the atrophy in the structures of the diencephalon (the thalamus, hypothalamus and mamillary bodies),
and is similar to amnesia that is presented as a result of other cases of damage to the medial temporal lobe.[ It has been argued that the memory impairments can occur as a results of damage along any part of the mamillo-thalamic tract, which explains how WKS can develop in patients with damage exclusively to either the thalamus or the mamillary bodies

Bicarbonate 22-28 mEq/L
PCO 2 33-45 mm Hg 4.4-5.9 kPa
PO 2 75-105 mm Hg 10.0-14.0 kPa
• Acute respiratory acidosis – Bicarbonate increases by 1 mEq/L for each 10-mm Hg rise in PaCO 2.The acute change in bicarbonate is, therefore, relatively modest and is generated by the blood, extracellular fluid, and cellular buffering system.
• Chronic respiratory acidosis – Bicarbonate increases by 3.5 mEq/L for each 10-mm Hg rise in PaCO 2. The greater change in bicarbonate in chronic respiratory acidosis is accomplished by the kidneys. The response begins soon after the onset of respiratory acidosis but requires 3-5 days to become complete.

(B) tabes dorsalis
(C) meningovascular syphilis
(D) syphiliticamyotrophy
(E) APPG 2014
Ans.B
Tabesdorsalis, also known as syphilitic myelopathy, is a slow degeneration (specifically, demyelination) of the nerves primarily in the dorsal columns (posterior columns) of the spinal cord (the portion closest to the back of the body). They help maintain a person’s sense of position (proprioception), vibration, and discriminative touch.
Symptoms may not appear for some decades after the initial infection and include: weakness, diminished reflexes, paresthesias (shooting and burning pains, pricking sensations, and formication), hypoesthesias (abnormally diminished cutaneous, especially tactile, sensory modalities), tabetic gait (locomotor ataxia), progressive degeneration of the joints, loss of coordination, episodes of intense pain and disturbed sensation (including glossodynia), personality changes, urinary incontinence, dementia, deafness, visual impairment,
positive Romberg’s test, and impaired response to light (Argyll Robertson pupil). The skeletal musculature is hypotonic due to destruction of the sensory limb of the spindle reflex. The deep tendon reflexes are also diminished or absent; for example, the “knee jerk” or patellar reflex may be lacking (Westphal’s sign). A complication of tabesdorsalis can be transient neuralgic paroxysmal pain affecting the eyes and the ophthalmic areas

364.Regarding Iron deficiency which of the following statements is TRUE (APPG 2014 Second time)
A. Commonest cause chronic blood loss
B. Reduced MCV precedes depletion of iron stores
C. Hepcidin levels are high in isolated iron deficiency
d. Out of an oral tablet of 325 nig. TID, 100 mg is absorbed
ANS A
Hepcidin levels are reduced in iron deficiency, and measurement of blood or urine hepcidin levels may enable evaluation of iron requirements and provide a powerful indicator of physiological iron deficiency
The most common cause of iron deficiency anemia is gradual, prolonged blood loss. For this reason, menstruating women are particularly prone to anemia. In men, the most common cause of iron deficiency is blood loss in the digestive tract, resulting from disorders such as peptic ulcer, inflammatory bowel disease, and stomach or colon cancer. Sometimes hemorrhoids bleed enough to result in anemia.
Hepcidin is a peptide hormone produced by the liver. It was discovered in 2000, and appears to be the principal regulator of iron homeostasis in humans and other mammals.[2] Hepcidin functions to regulate (inhibit) iron transport across the gut mucosa, thereby preventing excess iron absorption and maintaining normal iron levels within the body. Hepcidin also inhibits transport of iron out of macrophages (site of iron storage and transport). Thus, in states of high hepcidin levels (including inflammatory states), serum iron levels can drop because
iron is trapped inside macrophages. This may lead to anemia. I
There are many diseases where failure to adequately absorb iron contributes to iron deficiency and iron deficiency anaemia. The treatment will depend on the hepcidin levels that are present, as oral treatment will be unlikely to be effective if hepcidin is blocking enteral absorption, in which cases parenteral iron treatment would be appropriate. Studies have found that measuring hepcidin would be of benefit to establish optimal treatment,[13] although as this is not widely
available, C-reactive protein (CRP) is used as a surrogate marker.
.4
The loss of iron stores is reflected in the blood by a reduction in ferritin and reduced levels of iron bound to transferrin. As the iron stores become more severely depleted,
availability of transferrin-bound iron to the erythroid precursor causes reduced heme and hemoglobin production. This is reflected in a drop in the red blood cell count and mean corpuscular volume. The red cell count usually becomes abnormal before the mean corpuscular volume, which remains within the normal range until the hemoglobin reaches about 10 g/dl. Additionally, the red cell distribution width increases because the smaller, iron deficient cells are being mixed with normocytic cells. In the absence of therapy, erythrocyte production remains
inadequate and anemia develops. Importantly, many patients with iron deficiency anemia have normal red cell indices because the red cell count becomes abnormal before there is much change in red cell morphology.7 in those cases, more specialized testing of iron status may be required to confirm the diagnosis of iron deficiency anemia.
365. A tall male patient with arachnodactyly and subluxated lens came with sudden, sharp, severe chest pain and sweating. Left arm pulses are weak. ECG appears normal. Further steps include the following EXCEPT TRUE (APPG 2014 Second time)
A. IV hydralazine or sublingual nifedipine immediately to ‘reduce blood pressure and pain
B. Echo and CT angiogram
C. IV labetalol
D. Plan for surgery with an interposition graft
ANS A
Medical management remains the treatment of choice for descending aortic dissections unless they are leaking or ruptured. With the progress in stenting technology, descending dissections can be approached with this modality in selected cases.[6, 13, 26, 27, 28, 29] Medical therapy is also administered to surgical patients preoperatively, intraoperatively, and postoperatively to prevent progression or recurrence of aortic dissection.
Medical management consists of decreasing the blood pressure and the shearing forces of myocardial contractility in order to decrease the
intimal tear and propagation of the dissection. Medical management with antihypertensive therapy, including beta-blockers, is the treatment of choice for all stable chronic aortic dissections.[30]
Initiate therapy to reduce systemic arterial pressure and shear stress if the patient’s blood pressure allows for this type of intervention. The following agents are commonly used:
o Intravenous nitroprusside drip
o Intravenous labetalol: it has a dual effect of decreasing blood pressure and cardiac contractility
o Calcium channel blockers (eg, diltiazem): they lower blood pressure and cardiac contractility
Pain management is an important but difficult aspect of medical therapy. Narcotics and opiates are the preferred agents.
A number of advances have resulted in a decreased frequency of complications associated with surgery on the aorta. Dacron grafts with impregnated collagen or gelatin have been developed that are impervious to blood. The development of more impermeable grafts has greatly enhanced the surgical repair of thoracic aortic dissections. Such grafts include the following:
o Woven Dacron
o Collagen-impregnated Hemashield (Meadox Medicals) aortic grafts
o Gel-coated Carbo-Seal Ascending Aortic Prosthesis (Sulzer CarboMedics)
o Chest radiography is the initial imaging technique and may or may not reveal any abnormality. Computed tomography (CT) is useful in hemodynamically stable patients; emergency CT angiography with 3-dimensional reconstruction is rapidly becoming the diagnostic test of choice. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is as accurate as CT and may
benefit patients who have adverse reactions to the use of intravenous contrast agents. For hemodynamically unstable patients, echocardiography is ideal.
o Aortography is still considered by some as the diagnostic criterion standard test for aortic dissection. However, it is being replaced by newer imaging modalities.
The following conditions contraindicate beta-blocker therapy:
o Hypersensitivity to drug/class
o Severe asthma
o Heart block
o Uncompensated heart failure
o Bradycardia (heart rate < 60 beats/min)
o Severe chronic obstructive pulmonary disease
o Hypotension
The following conditions contraindicate calcium channel blocker therapy:
• Hypersensitivity to drug/class
• Second- or third-degree atrioventricular block
• Sick sinus syndrome
• Hypotension
• Left ventricular dysfunction
• Pulmonary congestion
366. Which of the following is NOT a feature of Weil’s disease? (APPG 2014 Second time)
A. fever and jaundice
B. hepatic encephalopathy
C. renal failure
(4) conjunctival hyperemia and skin purpura
ANS B
The physical examination findings differ depending on the severity of disease and the time from onset of symptoms. Patients may appear mildly ill or toxic. Early in the disease, temperatures as high as 40°C and tachycardia are common. Hypotension, oliguria, and abnormal chest auscultation at presentation may portend severe illness. When fever is severe and prolonged, hypotension and shock due to volume depletion may also occur. The fever typically subsides within 7 days.
Early in the disease, the skin is warm and
flushed. Additional skin findings include a transient petechial eruption that can involve the palate. Later in severe disease, jaundice and purpura can develop. The classic ocular finding of conjunctival suffusion occurs early irrespective of disease severity. Conjunctival suffusion is characterized by redness of the conjunctiva that resembles conjunctivitis but that does not involve inflammatory exudates.
Uveitis is a common feature following acute leptospirosis; however, patients who receive antibiotics during the acute phase of illness may develop only mild uveitis.[7]

ANS A
Another popular remedy for minor cases of the hiccups, people using this treatment simply need to measure out a teaspoon-sized portion of regular granulated sugar and eat it in one bite. if the hiccups persist, try eating one more spoonful of sugar before moving onto another remedy.
CAROTID SINUS MASSAGE
Gently massaging the carotid sinus, which is located in the neck, can sometimes cure persistent hiccups. However, make sure that you have a professional health care provider
do this type of massage for you rather than attempting to do it yourself or having a friend or family member do it for you.
HOLDING YOUR BREATH
Like breathing into a paper bag holding your breath can be another way to try to control your diaphragm and make the hiccups stop. Hold your breath and concentrate on not allowing the hiccups to occur, if possible. Don’t hold your breath so long that you begin to get dizzy or lightheaded.
COLD WATER
This is one of the most commonly shared home remedies for hiccups. To use this remedy, drink a glass of cold water very quickly. Some people find that drinking as much of the cold water as they can without taking a breath is the most useful tactic with this remedy. Rest for a few moments after gulping the water to see if the hiccups have subsided.

C. Congestive cardiac failure after one dose of diuretic
D Budd Chiari Syndrome
ANS B
o High gradient
o A high gradient (> 1.1 g/dL) indicates the ascites is due to portal This is due to increased hydrostatic pressure within the blood vessels of the hepatic portal system, which in turn forces water into the peritoneal cavity but leaves proteins such as albumin within the vasculature.
Important causes of high SAAG ascites (> 1.1 g/dL) include:
o high protein in ascitic fluid (> 2.5): heart
failure, Budd Chiari syndrome
o low protein in ascitic fluid (< 2.5): cirrhosis of the liver
Low gradient
o A low gradient (< 1.1 g/dL ) indicates causes of ascites not associated with increased portal pressure. Examples include tuberculosis, pancreatitis, nephrotic syndrome and various types of peritoneal cancer.

376. Select the TRUE statement among the following : (APPG 2014 Second time)
A. Anti-D is used in Immune Thrombocytopenic purpura
B. DDAVP is used in von Willebrand disease type 3
C. DDAVP is used in severe form of Hemophilia A
D. EACA is used in Factor XI deficiency for minor bleeds
ANS D
. Patients with type 3 vWD are usually unresponsive to desmopressin
DDAVP is contraindicated in vWD type 2b because of the risk of aggravated thrombocytopenia and thrombotic complications.
Desmopressin (DDAVP) is a man-made hormone used to treat people who have mild hemophilia A. DDAVP isn’t used to treat hemophilia B or severe hemophilia A.
DDAVP stimulates the release of stored factor VIII and von Willebrand factor; it also
increases the level of these proteins in your blood. Von Willebrand factor carries and binds factor VIII, which can then stay in the bloodstream longer.

A. Epoetin and Filgrasatim
B. Equine ATG + Cyclosporine
C. Fluoxymesterone
D Autologous bone marrow transplantation
ANS A
Treating immune-mediated aplastic anemia involves suppression of the immune system, an effect achieved by daily medicine intake, or, in more severe cases, a bone marrow transplant, a potential cure.[5] The transplanted bone marrow replaces the failing bone marrow cells with new ones from a matching donor. The multipotent stem cells in the bone marrow reconstitute all three blood cell lines, giving the patient a new immune system, red blood cells, and platelets. However, besides the risk of graft failure, there is also a risk that the newly
created white blood cells may attack the rest of the body (“graft-versus-host disease”).
o Medical therapy of aplastic anemia often includes a course of antithymocyte globulin (ATG) and several months of treatment with a cyclosporin to modulate the immune system. chemotherapy with agents such as cyclophosphamide may also be effective but has more toxicity than ATG. Antibody therapy, such as ATG, targets T-cells, which are believed to attack the bone marrow. Corticosteroids are generally
ineffective,[citation needed] though they are used to ameliorate serum sickness caused by ATG.
One prospective study involving cyclophosphamide was terminated early due to a high incidence of mortality, due to severe infections as a result of prolonged neutropenia.[6]

ANS C
Radioisotope renography is a form of kidney imaging involving radioisotopes. The two most common radiolabelled pharmaceutical agents used are Tc99m-MAG3 (Mercaptoacetyltriglycine) and Tc99m-DTPA (Diethylene Triamine Pentacaetic Acid)
A MAG3 scan is a diagnostic imaging procedure that allows a nuclear medicine physician, also known as a radiologist, to visualize the kidneys and learn more about how they are functioning. MAG3 is an acronym for mercapto acetyl tri glycine, a
compound that is chelated with a radioactive element – technetium-99m.
The technique is very useful in evaluating the functioning of kidneys. It is widely used before renal transplantation to assess the vascularity of the kidney to be transplanted and with a test dose of captopril to highlight possible renal artery stenosis in the donor’s other kidney,[4] and later the performance of the transplant.[5][6]
The use of the test to identify reduced renal
function after test doses of captopril (an angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitor drug) has also been used to identify the cause of hypertension in patients with renal failure.[7][8] Initially there was uncertainty as to the usefulness,[9] or best test parameter to identify renal artery stenosis, the eventual consensus was that the distinctive finding is of alteration in the differential function

ANS A
There are 2 indications for saline infusion in hyponatremia. Overt manifestations of hyponatremia are treated with hypertonic saline, whereas symptomatic hypovolemia associated with hyponatremia without overt symptoms is usually treated with isotonic saline.23–24 In both situations, the infusion of saline results in rising [Na]. This rise can be slower or faster than desired, with potentially dire clinical consequences
For the asymptomatic patient, the following treatments may be of use:
Hypovolemic hyponatremia: Administer isotonic saline to patients who are hypovolemic to replace the contracted intravascular volume (thereby treating the cause of vasopressin release). Patients with
hypovolemia secondary to diuretics may also need potassium repletion, which, like sodium, is osmotically active. Correction of volume repletion turns off the stimulus to ADH secretion, so a large water diuresis may ensue, leading to a more rapid correction of hyponatremia than desired. If so, hypotonic fluid such as D5/½ normal saline may need to be administered (see below under normovolemic hyponatremia for guidelines).
Hypervolemic hyponatremia: Treat patients who are hypervolemic with salt and fluid restriction, plus loop diuretics, and correction of the underlying condition. The use of a V2 receptor antagonist may be considered (see below).

D Zero HLA mismatch with recipient
ANS D
The association between HLA mismatches and rejection was not linear, with the greatest benefit of HLA matching appeared to be confined to those with
387. The following inheritance patterns are correct EXCEPT
A. Huntington’s Autosomal chorea Recessive
B. Marfan’s Autosmal Syndrome dominant
C. Duchenne’s Xlinkied myotonic Recessive dystrophy
(4) Romano Ward Autosmal Syndrome Dominant
ANS A
388. A 60 year patient with past history of Myodardial infarction , on irregular treatment came with a one year history of exertional dyspnea, occasional PND, easy fatigability and pedal edema. On examination, BP is 130/80. Mitral regurgitation+. X-ray shows cardiomegaly. Echo shows an EF . of 35%. Ser. creatinine = 1,5 mg%. In him, the following are true EXCEPT?
A. Enalapril is contraindicated
B. Frusemide will relieve symptoms though it has no mortality benefit
C. Digoxin is useful if he has atrial fibrillation
(4) Eplerenone is beneficial
ANS D
Eplerenone is specifically indicated for the reduction of risk of cardiovascular death in people with heart failure and left ventricular dysfunction within 3–14 days of an acute myocardial infarction, in combination with standard therapies and as treatment against hypertension. It appears equivalent to spironolactone but is much more expensive
Eplerenone is contraindicated in patients with hyperkalaemia, severe renal impairment (creatinine Cl less than 30 ml/min), or severe hepatic impairment (Child-Pugh score C). The manufacturer of eplerenone also contraindicates ( relative C.I. ) concomitant treatment with ketoconazole, itraconazole or other potassium-sparing diuretics (though the manufacturer still considers taking these
drugs to be absolute C.I.) Potential benefits should be weighted against possible risks.
loop diuretics reduce symptoms but have not been shown to reduce mortality
389. While auscultating the heart, a doctor heard an additional sound just after the second heart sound. The patient could be suffering from any of the following EXCEPT
A. Bicuspid aortic valve with moderate aortic stenosis
B. Mitral regurgitation with heart failure
C. Moderate Mitral stenosis in sinus rhythm
(4) Chronic constrictive pericarditis
ANS A
mitral opening snap of mitral stenosis occurs after A2
Mitral regurgitation with heart failure causes S3
Chronic constrictive pericarditis cause pericardial knock
390. A young male came with history of episodes of palpitation, cardiovascular examination – No Abnormality Detected. He says his doctor treated his palpitation by pressing the side of his neck. The ECG shows a PR interval of two small boxes (2mm) and a slurring of the initial part of the QRS complex. The diagnosis is
A. Brugada syndrome
B. Wolff Parkinson White syndrome
C. Lown Ganong Levine syndrome
D. Jervell Lange Nielsen syndrome
ANS B
o PR interval (beginning of P wave to the beginning of the next QRS).
o Normally, .2 seconds, it is a first degree block
o QRS interval (beginning of Q to the end of the S wave)
o Should be < .12 seconds ( .12, check for bundle branch block.
o A QRS > .12 and RR (2 peaks or R waves in QRS) occurring in the right chest leads (V1-V2) indicates a right bundle branch block
o QT interval (beginning of QRS to end of T
wave) should be less than half of the preceding RR interval – this varies with the rate. For normal rates, QT < .4 seconds (2 large boxes).
o “QT prolongation” (too long) can lead to a refractory form of ventricular tachycardia called torsades de pointes.
The Lown-Ganong-Levine syndrome (LGL) is a clinical syndrome consisting of paroxysms of tachycardia and electrocardiogram (ECG) findings of a short PR interval and normal QRS duration. LGL is usually categorized in a class of preexcitation syndromes that includes the Wolff-Parkinson-White syndrome (WPW), LGL,
and Mahaim-type preexcitation.[
Jervell and Lange-Nielsen syndrome (JLNS) is a type of long QT syndrome, associated with severe, bilateral hearing loss.
391. Microscopic polyangiitis is characterized by the following features EXCEPT
A. Involves small and medium sized arteries and veins
B. 75% cases are associated with ANCA positivity
C. .Palpable purpura, ulcers and vesiculobullous lesions seen
(4) Unlikely to cause pulmonary — renal syndrome .
ANS D
Microscopic polyangiitis (MPA) can manifest as a mild systemic vasculitis with mild renal insufficiency, or it can manifest as a full blown acute disease with rapid deterioration of renal function and respiratory failure due to pulmonary capillaritis. Treatment depends on the extent of disease, the rate of progression, and the degree of inflammation
Microscopic polyangiitis (MPA) is vasculitis of small vessels.
Antineutrophil cytoplasmic antibodies
o ANCA positive (80%)
o Perinuclear ANCA related to myeloperoxidase ANCA (60%)
o Cytoplasmic ANCA related to proteinase-3 ANCA (40%)
Symptoms of microscopic polyangiitis (MPA) include the following:
o Constitutional symptoms
o Fever (55%)
o Malaise, fatigue, flulike syndrome
o Myalgia (48%)
o Weight loss (72%)
o Skin manifestations – Skin rash (50%)
o Pulmonary manifestations
o Hemoptysis (11%)
o Dyspnea
o Cough
o Cardiovascular manifestations – Chest pain, symptoms of heart failure
o Gastrointestinal involvement
o Gastrointestinal bleeding
o Abdominal pain

o Myalgias (40%)
o Testicular pain (2%)
o Ocular manifestations (1%)

392. The following statements are True regarding Nephrogenic Systemic Fibrosis: EXCEPT
A. Commonly seen in patients of Chronic Kidney Disease with a GFR of above 30ml/min/1.73 sq.m.
B. % Increase in dermal spindle cells positive for CD34 and procollagen I
C. It is a multi-organ fibrosis involving muscle, lungs and heart
(4) Skin lesions include erythematous papules and woody painful skin
ANS A
Definitive diagnosis of NFD/NSF is made by full-thickness skin biopsy at the involved site. Characteristic histological findings include thickened reticular dermal collagen bundles with dermal spindle cells that stain positive for both CD34 and procollagen.7 These spindle cells are thought to have the immunophenotype of ‘circulating fibrocytes’, which are characterized as circulating cells of bone marrow origin that express markers of both connective tissue cells and circulating leukocytes.8 Extensive mucin deposition is often seen between collagen bundles, but in
contrast to other fibrosing disease states, inflammatory cells are usually absent.9 Although the etiology has yet to be elucidated, it seems that some antigenic stimulus associated with renal dysfunction upregulates these circulating fibrocytes and induces an aberrant form of wound healing.
The manifestations of NFD were initially thought to be confined to the skin; however, recent reports reveal systemic fibrosis on autopsy including skeletal muscles, diaphragm,
pleura, pericardium, myocardium, dura mater and vessels of the heart. This newly described systemic involvement prompted the name of the disease to be changed to nephrogenic fibrosing dermopathy/nephrogenic systemic fibrosis (NFD/NSF).
skin thickening, tightness and contractures are hallmarks of the clinical findings in nephrogenic fibrosing dermopathy.
393. ‘The following statements regarding autologous stem cell transplantation are true EXCEPT
A. It is used in some relapsed lymphomas that are responsive to chemotherapy
B. It is used in treatment of Acute Myeloid Leukemia
C. Hematopoeitic stem cells are “mobilised from the marrow into the blood using filgrastim
(4) Unlike allogenic stem cell, trplantation, there is no period of pancytopenia after myelosupression and before recovery of infused cells
ANS D
High-dose chemotherapy and autologous stem cell transplantation has been demonstrated to improve a patient’s chance of cure when incorporated into the initial treatment or delivered to patients in complete remission after standard chemotherapy
HDCT induces profound pancytopenia, lasting approximately 2 to 4 weeks until the stem cells restore hematopoiesis. During the period of granulocytopenia, life-threatening infectious complications may occur. GM-CSF and G-CSF have been shown to accelerate hematopoietic recovery after autologous transplantation [30,31] and to improve hematopoiesis in patients with graft failure –
Autologous stem cell transplantation
o The person’s own stem cells are collected and returned after treatment.
o Autologous transplants are sometimes used for people with AML who are in remission after initial treatment and who don’t have a matched donor for an allogeneic transplant.
o One problem with autologous transplants is
that it is hard to separate normal stem cells from leukemia cells in the bone marrow or blood samples. Even after purging (treating the stem cells in the lab to try to kill or remove any remaining leukemia cells), there is the risk of returning some leukemia cells with the stem cell transplant.
Allogeneic stem cell transplant
o Using donor cells for SCT for acute myeloid leukemia (AML) is preferred because leukemia is a disease of the blood and bone marrow, so giving the patient his or her own
cells back may mean giving leukemia cells. Donor cells are also helpful because of the “graft versus leukemia” effect. When the donor immune cells are infused into the body, they may recognize any remaining leukemia cells as being foreign to them and will attack them. This effect doesn’t happen with autologous stem cell transplants filgrastim and lenograstim used as single-agent mobilisers have been well established, with both agents having reliably demonstrated increased concentrations of circulating HSCs .41,42 G-CSF is thought to
stimulate HSC mobilisation by decreasing SDF-1α gene expression and protein levels while increasing proteases that can cleave interactions between HSCs and the bone marrow environment .
394. A patient with pleural effusion has the following test results.
Serum protein = 7G/dL.
Pleural fluid protein = 5 G/dL
Serum glucose = 90 mg/dL
Pleural fluid glucose = 20 mg/dL
Pleural fluid LDH = 300 units
Probable diagnosis is
A. CHF patient not on diuretics
B. CHF patient with diabetes and on insulin
C. Renal failure
D. Rheumatoid arthritis
Ans D
According to Light’s criteria , a pleural effusion is likely exudative if at least one of the following exists:[11]
• The ratio of pleural fluid protein to serum protein is greater than 0.5
• The ratio of pleural fluid LDH and serum LDH is greater than 0.6
• Pleural fluid LDH is greater than 0.6 or 2⁄3 times the normal upper limit for serum.
Different laboratories have different values for the upper limit of serum LDH, but examples include 200 and 300
Conditions associated with transudative pleural effusions:[17]
• Congestive Heart Failure (CHF)
• Hepatic cirrhosis
• Hypoproteinemia
• Nephrotic syndrome
• Acute atelectasis
• Myxedema
• Peritoneal dialysis
• Meig’s syndrome
• Obstructive uropathy
• End-stage renal disease
Once identified as exudative, additional evaluation is needed to determine the cause of the excess fluid,
and pleural fluid amylase, glucose, pH and cell counts are obtained.
• Pleural fluid amylase is elevated in cases of esophageal rupture, pancreatic pleural effusion, or cancer.
• Glucose is decreased with cancer, bacterial infections, or rheumatoid pleuritis.
• Pleural fluid pH is low in empyema ( 45 IU/L, interferon gamma > 140 pg/mL, or positive polymerase chain reaction (PCR) for tuberculous DNA).
395. A 30 year previously healthy male came with 2 days fever and cough with purulent sputum. Examination reveals an impaired note with bronchial breathing and crackles and increased vocal resonance. He is alert. BP = 100/70. Respiratory rate = 24/min. Blood urea =.20 mg%. Which of the following is the best treatment for him?
A. OP treatment with Clarithromycin 500 mg BID for one week
B. Admit ‘ in ward and give Levofloxacin orally 750 mg OD + Inj. Ceftriaxone 1G IV BID for one week
C. Admit in ICCU and give Inj. Ceftriaxone 2G IV OD + IV levofloxacin 750 mg OD for one week
D. Piperacillin + tazobactam 4.5 G qid for one week
Ans A
For mild to moderate community-acquired pneumonia shorter courses of antibiotics (3–7 days) seem to be sufficient according to a recent meta-analysis
Factors that increase the need for hospitalization include:
• Age greater than 65
• Underlying chronic illnesses
• Respiratory rate greater than thirty breaths per minute
• Systolic blood pressure less than 90 mmHg
• Heart rate greater than 125 beats per minute
• Temperature less than 35 or greater than 40°C
• Confusion
• Evidence of infection outside the lung
Healthy outpatients without risk factors
• This group, the largest, is composed of otherwise healthy patients without risk factors for DRSP, enteric Gram negative bacteria, Pseudomonas, or other less common causes of CAP. The primary microoganisms in this group are viruses, atypical bacteria, penicillin sensitive
Streptococcus pneumoniae, and Hemophilus influenzae. Recommended management is with a macrolide antibiotic such as azithromycin or clarithromycin for seven[15] to ten days.
Outpatients with underlying illness and/or risk factors
• This group does not require hospitalization; its members either have underlying health problems (such as emphysema or congestive heart failure) or is at risk for DRSP and/or enteric Gram negative
bacteria. Treatment is with a fluoroquinolone active against Streptococcus pneumoniae such as levofloxacin or a beta-lactam antibiotic such as cefpodoxime, cefuroxime, amoxicillin, or amoxicillin/clavulanate plus a macrolide antibiotic such as azithromycin or clarithromycin for seven to ten days.
396. A 70 year old diabetic and hypertensive patient was being investigated for angina and a coronary angiogram was performed. Two days later, he developed fever and abdominal discomfort and dyspnea and a mottled skin rash. His great toe appeared black. His BP increased to 180/100. His creatinine was found to have risen from a preangio level of 1.2 to 3.6mg/dl. He has eosinophilia. Which one of the following statements is TRUE regarding this condition.
1) N-acetylcysteine would have prevented this condition
2) Heparin is the treatment of choice
3) This is contrast induced nephropathy
4) Kidney biopsy will show microvessel occlusion with a cleft in the vessel
Ans D
Atherosclerotic renovascular disease (ARVD) is increasingly recognised as an important cause of both chronic and end stage renal failure. These patients tend to do badly on dialysis, which reflects their systemic atherosclerotic burden. In an effort to delay and perhaps prevent their need for renal replacement therapy, some patients are subjected to a variety of medical, radiological and surgical interventions, although evidence for each is sparse.
PLAQUE INSTABILITY
Recent data reports increased cardiovascular morbidity and mortality in patients with irregular as opposed to smooth carotid plaques.50 The increased risk, which must reflect a systemic predisposition to unstable atherosclerotic plaques, did not correlate with conventional risk factors and this suggests additional as yet unrecognised factor(s) for plaque progression.
Similarly, the very high incidence of recurrent disease after coronary angioplasty in haemodialysis patients suggests that plaques behave differently in uraemia.51 Unstable atherosclerotic plaques may embolise cholesterol crystals and other debris that lodge in the dependent circulation, even down to the capillary level.
In the kidney, cholesterol embolisation can lead to progressive microvascular obliteration, chronic inflammation and worsening renal failure, with the diagnosis clinched by the characteristic appearance of intravascular cholesterol clefts on renal biopsy
(A) Characteristic histological appearance on light microscopy of a cholesterol cleft in a small artery with evidence of intimal thickening, concentric hypertrophy, and interstitial inflammation. Embolised cholesterol crystals dissolve during the fixation process. (B) Electron micrograph demonstrating a cholesterol cleft in an afferent glomerular arteriole. The destination vessel depends on crystal size and this variability may determine the clinical presentation.
397. A 6 month infant presented with recurrent episodes of polyuria and dehydration. Lab. tests revealed serum Na of 130 meq/li., K of 3 meq/li Cl of 92 meq/li., bicarbonate of 30 meq/li. pH was 7.48. Ser creat was 0.4 mg/dl. The patient had hypercalciuria and ultrasound showed medullary nephrocalcinosis. Which one of the following is the most likely diagnosis?
1) Bartter syndrome
2) Distal renal tubular acidosis
3) Liddle syndrome
4) Gitelman syndrome
Ans A (APPG- 2015)
In 90% of cases, neonatal Bartter syndrome is seen between 24 and 30 weeks of gestation with excess amniotic fluid (polyhydramnios). After birth, the infant is seen to urinate and drink excessively (polyuria, and polydipsia, respectively). Life-threatening dehydration may result if the infant does not receive adequate fluids. About 85% of infants dispose of excess amounts of calcium in the urine (hypercalciuria) and kidneys (nephrocalcinosis), which may lead to kidney stones. In rare occasions, the infant may progress to renal failure.
People suffering from Bartter syndrome present symptoms that are identical to those of patients who are on loop diuretics like furosemide.
• The clinical findings characteristic of Bartter syndrome are hypokalemia, metabolic alkalosis, and normal to low blood pressure. These findings may also be caused by:
• Chronic vomiting: These patients will have low urine chloride levels (Bartter’s will have relatively higher urine chloride levels).
• Abuse of diuretic medications (water pills): The physician must screen urine for multiple diuretics before diagnosis is made.
• Magnesium deficiency and Calcium deficiency: These patients will also have low serum and urine magnesium and calcium
• Patients with Bartter syndrome may also have elevated renin and aldosterone levels.
Prenatal Bartter syndrome can be associated with polyhydramnios
398. The following are main diagnostic criteria for Allergic Bronchopulmonary Aspergillosis EXCEPT –
1) Bronchial asthma
2) Pulmonary infiltrates
3) Distal bronchiectasis
4) Peripheral eosinophilia
Ans C (APPG- 2015)
Allergic bronchopulmonary aspergillosis
ABPA is defined by abnormalities including the following:
• Asthma
• Eosinophilia
• A positive skin test result for Aspergillus fumigatus
• Serum IgE level > 1000 IU/dL
• Positive test results for Aspergillus precipitins (primarily IgG but also IgA and IgM)
Minor criteria for diagnosis include positive Aspergillus radioallergosorbent assay test results and sputum culture
Chest radiography results in ABPA may vary from fleeting pulmonary infiltrates to mucoid impaction to central bronchiectasis. Computed tomography (CT) is helpful for better defining bronchiectasis, and images may demonstrate that apparent lobulated masses are mucus-filled dilated bronchi. Areas of atelectasis related to bronchial obstruction from mucoid impaction may be present
399. Henoch Schonlein purpura is characterized by the following EXCEPT
1) Glomerulonephritis
2) Palpable purpura
3) Hematocchezia
4) Thrombocytopenia
Ans D
(APPG- 2015)
400. Characteristic antibodies of autoimmune hepatitis include all of the following EXCEPT
1) Anti -CCP antibodies
2) ANAs
3) Smooth muscle antibodies
4) Anti LKM antibodies
Ans A
Clinicians must consider the diagnosis of autoimmune hepatitis in any patient who has acute hepatitis or acute liver failure (defined by the new onset of coagulopathy). In addition to aminotransferase levels and other liver function studies, the workup of such patients should include the following assays:
• Serum antinuclear antibody (ANA)
• Anti–smooth muscle antibody (ASMA)
• Liver-kidney microsomal type 1 (LKM-1) antibody
• Serum protein electrophoresis (SPEP)
• Quantitative immunoglobulins
Urgent liver biopsy, transjugular if appropriate, may help to confirm the clinical suspicion of acute autoimmune hepatitis
Laboratory findings in autoimmune hepatitis include the following:
• Elevated serum aminotransferase levels (1.5-50 times reference values)
• Elevated serum immunoglobulin levels, primarily immunoglobulin G (IgG)
• Seropositive results for ANAs, SMAs, or LKM-1 or anti–liver cytosol 1 (anti-LC1) antibodies
Anti–citrullinated protein antibodies (ACPAs)
Anti–citrullinated protein antibodies (ACPAs) are autoantibodies (antibodies directed against an individual’s own proteins) that are directed against peptides and proteins that are citrullinated. They are present in the majority of patients with rheumatoid arthritis.
ACPAs have proved to be powerful biomarkers that allow the diagnosis of rheumatoid arthritis (RA) to be made at a very early stage.

Description: The behind-the-scenes work on this year’s Annual Report was never-ending.
We voted, we came together, we voted again, we ate mounds of cashews. Eventually, our Albums, Songs, and Films of the Year lists surfaced to solidify our collective editorial voice. Still, Consequence of Sound is comprised of many unique individuals and strong opinions, so we felt there was no better way to honor these voices than to give each one the space to sum up their own 2015.
If our weeks dedicated to Star Wars and Tarantino weren’t enough, stay tuned next week for an assortment of supplemental reports and a number of articles that look into the future rather than the past. That’s where we’re headed anyhow.
In the meantime…

Album He’s Most Excited for in 2016: Grandaddy
Jason Lytle’s two solo ventures were decent enough substitutes for Grandaddy’s sweetly dystopic brand of indie rock, but they were just that. The news that Lytle is penning and recording tracks for a new Grandaddy record couldn’t come at a more opportune time. With election season propelling American culture to a whole new level of crazy absurdism, Grandaddy’s sly but somber outlook on 21st century life has the potential to speak louder and with more force than any of their past efforts.

Article She’s Most Proud of in 2015: From Dog Day Afternoon to Dallas Buyers Club: The Danish Girl Predecessors
In thinking a lot about how trans* people are portrayed on film, I—surprise surprise—learned a lot about the representation of trans* and gender-nonconforming people in general. Not to sound all bleeding heart, but I feel like a better, more informed ally now than I was two months ago.

I don’t care that it’s not a new idea. I don’t care that it’s a little silly. I have zero fucks to give about any of that nonsense. Do you know how often people get all worked up, months—nay, years —in advance about a movie starring four women? I cannot fucking wait. I hate the term ‘haters,’ but hey, HATERS: who you gonna call? Those ladies, that’s who.

Article He’s Most Proud of in 2015: Film Review: The Ridiculous 6
As the new kid on the block, part of my journey through the last few months is just finding my footing as a critic: balancing personal taste with acknowledgement of craft, examining both the politics of a film and the filmmaking itself, and so on. One of the ways I did that was to dive headfirst into the job, which is why I actively volunteered to watch/review The Ridiculous 6 upon release. For better or worse, my complicated (and largely negative) feelings for that movie led to a review of which I’m particularly proud. I’m always looking to improve as a writer and critic, but that review was the one where I felt most comfortable. While I’ve gotten to do some cool interviews already in my first few months here (Alex Ross Perry, Jay Roach, Michael Shannon), it’s the reviews that bring me the most joy and cathartic anger – this was certainly no exception.

Though, like any red-blooded American white nerd, I’m looking forward to Captain America: Civil War, I’ll go for the deep cut and say The Purge 3. While the first Purge was a limp home-invasion flick with limp stabs at political commentary, last year’s The Purge: Anarchy somehow fixed most of the first film’s problems by leaning into the cartoonishness of the premise, making its politics even more bold and strident, and giving us an awesome protagonist in Frank Grillo’s Punisher-like lead. With Grillo and some of the other characters from Anarchy returning for the third one, here’s hoping director James DeMonaco has solidified the premise (and his directorial prowess) further.
