Study Notes
- TIBC (total iron binding capacity) is a relevant factor in assessing iron deficiency anemia.
- Scarlet fever and Histoplasmosis are two distinct medical conditions.
- DNA ploidy is a factor used to assess the possibility of dysplasia in a premalignant lesion.
- Giant cell tumor differs from giant cell granuloma in the presence of giant cells, presence of inflammatory cells, and number of nuclei in giant cells.
- Liquefactive necrosis is a type of necrosis seen on cross-section of the left ventricle of the heart in a patient who has died of myocardial infarction.
- A mother transferring a disease to all her children is an example of mitochondrial inheritance.
- Coagulative necrosis is a type of necrosis seen in the brain section.
- Thrombotic thrombocytopenic Purpura is a diagnosis suggested by blood film showing schistocytosis and thrombocytopenia.
- Pale infarct is characterized by being found in loose soft tissues, having a transient light red color, and involving a wedge-shaped area with an apex pointing towards arterial obstruction.
- Actinomycosis is a disorder characterized by the formation of multiple sinus tracts during abscess drainage.
- Right renal arterial stenosis in the kidney leads to atrophy.
- Breast cancers due to BRCA-1 gene mutation have an incidence of 40%.
- An affected father transmitting a disease to all daughters is an example of X-linked recessive inheritance.
- Serum transferrin is increased in iron deficiency anemia.
