Due to rupture → bleeding so blood accumulates in the pericardial space causing cardiac temponade
Female patient given clomiphene then HCG, what will happen:
Maturation of eggs and proliferation of ovarian follicle
Since clomiphene blocks estrogen receptors ( antagonist on estrogen receptor) → increase in LH ,FSH → stimulation of ovulation ( proliferation of ovarian follicles and maturation of eggs)
Mode Of Action of phenylephrine
Alpa 1 adrenergic receptor agonist
Activation of alpha adrenergic receptors in nasal mucosa
It acts on vascular smooth muscle → vasoconstriction → BP increase , heart rate decrease
Epinephrine effect on receptors
It works on alpha and beta receptors
On alpha receptor: vasoconstriction → increase BP
Beta receptors in heart (B2); increase HR and contractility
On beta receptors (lung and vessles B2): bronchodilation, vasodilation
Depend od dose in low s=doses B>A → VASODILATION
In high doses A>B → vasoconstriction
Epinephrine stimulates α1, β1, β2 receptors → increases cardiac output, bronchodilation, and (dose-dependent) vasoconstriction.
Epinephrine = non-selective adrenergic agonist
β1 → heart stimulation
β2 → bronchodilation + vasodilation
α1 → vasoconstriction

Decrease in calcium makes na+ channels open easily so nerve is easily excited causing these symptoms
In liver transplant which organ makes gluconeogenesis
Kidney
132 of 140
A 22-year-old man has a 36-hour history of pain and swelling of his left testis. One week ago he had mild dysuria and a urethral discharge. ram stein of maternal from the urethra Stows numerous neutrophile but no organisms. the most likely cause of the patients symptoms is infection with which of the Following
(A) Chlamydia trachomatis
b) CMV
C)E.coli
D) Herpesvirus
e) Mumps
Chlamydia
Since it causes urethral discharge (urethritis and it also causes epidimitis) and on urethral smear a lot of neutrophilis are seen without an organism ( no organism is seen)
Left circumflex artery is occluded which area of heart is affected
Posterior portion of left ventricle
year-old man si about to undergo resection of gastric adenocarcinoma ni the hospital. The tumor is located ni the right portion of the lesser curvature of the stomach. During the operation, the hepatoduodenal ligament si inadvertently damaged, and bile leaks into the peritoneal cavity. Which of hte folowing ducts si most likely injuredni this patient?
Common bile duct
Which of the following best explains why blood flow to the left ventricular subendocardium ceases during systole?
A) The aortic valve leaflet covers the origin of the left coronary artery
Bcoronary sinus pressure exceeds coronary arterial pressure
c) Extravascular pressure exceeds intra-arterial pressure
D) Less adenosine is released than during diastole
E) Ventricular depolarization stimulates contraction of smooth muscle of the coronary artery
C extravascular pressure exceed inta arterial pressure
During systole (contraction):
The left ventricle muscle tightens strongly
This squeezes the small blood vessels inside it
So the vessels get compressed shut
Key idea
The heart muscle pressure becomes higher than the blood inside its own vessels.
So:
Outside pressure (muscle) ↑
Inside vessel pressure ↓ relative
→ blood cannot flow
