  6. ANSWER: c – the posterior tibial artery passes through the tarsal tunnel; the anterior tibial artery passes lateral to the extensor hallucislongus tendon on the dorsal part of the foot (and medial to extensor digitorum tendon)

  7. Which of these does not describe the attitude of a child who has secure attachment with their parent? • Can separate from parent • Becomes very distressed when parent leaves • Prefers the parent versus a stranger • When parents enter a room child reacts with positive emotions • Seek comfort from the parent when

  9. Why of the following is a not a sign of Carpal Tunnel Syndrome? • Wasting of thenal eminence muscles • Positive Tinel’s test • Reduced grip strength • Numbness over thenar eminence • Paraesthesia in median nerve distribution

  10. Correct Answer: D. • Explanation: Sensation to the skin over the thenar eminence is provided by palmar cutaneous branch of the median nerve which does not travel through the carpal tunnel. It comes off the median nerve proximal to the flexor retinaculum and travels superficially to the flexor retinaculum and is therefore not compressed.

  11. The tendons of which muscles does De Quervain's syndrome classically affect? • Flexor pollicislongus and flexor pollicisbrevis • Abductor pollicislongus and abductor pollicisbrevis • Extensor pollicisbrevis and abductor pollicislongus • Extensor carpi radialis and extensor pollicislongus

  12. Correct Answer: C. • Explanation: De Quervain syndrome is a tenosynovitis of the sheath or tunnel that surrounds two tendons that control movement of the thumb. Symptoms are pain, tenderness, and swelling over the thumb side of the wrist, and difficulty gripping. The two tendons concerned are the tendons of the extensor pollicisbrevis and abductor pollicislongus muscles. These two muscles, which run side by side, have almost the same function: the movement of the thumb away from the hand in the plane of the hand (radial abduction).

  21. What scoring system/criteria are used to determine the risk of DVT/PE? • Light’s criteria • Wells score • Gleason score • Vichow’s criteria • CHADS2 score

  22. Answer: B

  23. What would be the most appropriate first investigation if the scoring system determined Mrs Jones to have a high pre-test probability of PE? • D-dimer • CXR • Doppler Ultrasound scan • CT Pulmonary Angiography • ABG

  25. You confirm Mrs Jones has a PE, what is the most appropriate drug/drug combination to start treatment with? • Streptokinase alone • Low molecular weight heparin alone • Warfarin alone • Streptokinase + Warfarin • Low molecular weight heparin + Warfarin

  27. Streptokinase… • Inhibits vitamin K epoxide reductase • Activates antithrombin III • Is a direct thrombin inhibitor • Activates plasminogen  plasmin • Inhibits the activation of fibrinogen  fibrin

  28. Answer: D
