Dressler syndrome is a complication of:

 # Dressler syndrome is a complication of:

A. Hypertension

B. Pericarditis

C. Mitral stenosis

D. Myocardial infarction

The correct answer is D. Myocardial infarction.

Dressler syndrome is a secondary form of pericarditis that occurs in the setting of injury to the heart or the pericardium (the outer lining of the heart). It consists of fever, pleuritic pain, pericarditis and/or a pericardial effusion.

Dressler syndrome is also known as postmyocardial infarction syndrome and the term is sometimes used to refer to post-pericardiotomy pericarditis.

It was first characterized by William Dressler at Maimonides Medical Center in 1956.

Beyron point is located at:

 # Beyron point is located at:

A. 13 mm anterior to posterior margin of tragus on a line from center of tragus to outer canthus 

B. 11 mm anterior to posterior margin of tragus on a line from parallel to and 7 mm below FHP 

C. 10 mm anterior to posterior margin of tragus on a line from center of tragus to outer canthus 

D. 13 mm anterior to tragus on a line from base of tragus to outer canthus 

The correct answer is A.  13 mm anterior to posterior margin of tragus on a line from center of tragus to outer canthus. 

The first step in placing a face bow is to locate the hinge axis on the skin on the each side of the patients face. One frequently recommended method is to position the condyle rods on a line extending from the counter canthus of the eye to the top of the tragus of the ear and approximately 13 mm in front of the external auditory meatus is called Beyron Point.This placement generally locates the rods within 5mm of the true center of the opening axis of the jaws. The imaginary line joining the two Beyron points is an approximate hinge axis. 

Dens evaginatus is most commonly found in:

 # Dens evaginatus is most commonly found in:

A. Premolar

B. Lateral incisor

C. Canine

D. Molar

The correct answer is A. Premolar.

Dens evaginatus or leong's premolar or evaginated odontome or occlusal tuberculated premolar is a developmental condition that appears as an accessory cusp or a globule of enamel between the buccal and lingual cusps of premolars, unilaterally or bilaterally, though it had been known to rarely occur on molars, cuspids and incisors.

Which of the following lesions/conditions is not caused by virus?

 # Which of the following lesions/conditions is not caused by virus?

A. Koplik’s spots

B. Herpetiform ulcers

C. Herpes labialis

D. Ramsay-Hunt syndrome

The correct answer is B. Herpetiform ulcers.

Koplik's spots are seen in the buccal mucosa in patients with measles, which is an infection caused by paramyxovirus. Herpes labialis is caused by the herpes simplex virus and Ramsay-Hunt syndrome is due to herpes zoster of the geniculate ganglion. Herpetiform ulcers are a type of aphthous ulcer and are not caused by a virus. Lyme disease is caused by Borrelia burgdorferi, a spirochaetal bacterium, and is spread via ticks. 

Which of the following does not cause oral cancer in children?

 # Which of the following does not cause oral cancer in children?

A. Herpes simplex

B. Epstein barr

C. Cytomegalovirus

D. Varicella zoster

The correct answer is D. Varicella zoster.

HSV has been possibly associated with hit and run mechanism in oral cancer causation. Epstein barr virus causes African jaw lymphoma, CMV possibly is associated with Kaposi's sarcoma. Hence Herpes zoster is the best option. 

Osteoblastic secondaries are present in which carcinoma?

 # Osteoblastic secondaries are present in which carcinoma?

A. Carcinoma lung

B. Carcinoma breast

C. Carcinoma urinary bladder

D. Carcinoma prostate

The correct answer is D. Carcinoma prostate.

Although most of such metastases produce osteolytic lesions and thus appear as a radiolucency, certain tumors produce osteoblastic lesions or lesions and are most often associated with carcinoma of the prostate, and occasionally, of the breast and lung. 

Most common complication of mumps is:

 # Most common complication of mumps is:

A. Myocarditis

B. Orchitis

C. Uveitis

D. Conjunctivitis

The correct answer is B. Orchitis.

Mumps is characterized by triad of pathological involvement- epidemic parotitis, orchitis-oophoritis, and pancreatitis. Meningoencephalitis, epididymitis, and encephalitis are other complications of mumps. When mumps involves adult male, orchitis is a great danger. Involvement of pancreas causes an increase in serum lipase enzyme.
