Part B of the Reading Sub-Test 

Question 1: Chronic Urticaria

  • Correct Answer: B. Arises spontaneously and its cause is unknown.
  • Reasoning: The text states that chronic urticaria is “usually idiopathic,” which means its cause is not known. This eliminates options A and C, as they suggest specific causes (allergic reaction and genetic disorder, respectively).

Question 2: Arterial Aneurysms

  • Correct Answer: B. Are abnormal dilations of the peripheral arteries.
  • Reasoning: The text explains that arterial aneurysms are caused by atherosclerotic disease and are abnormal dilations. This rules out option A, which mentions narrowing of arteries, and option C, which is related to changes in Fibrillin-1.

Question 3: Pulmonary Embolism (PE)

  • Correct Answer: B. Patients with DVT are susceptible to PE.
  • Reasoning: The text indicates that PE is often present in individuals with confirmed deep vein thrombosis (DVT), making patients with DVT susceptible to PE. Option A is incorrect because it describes the mechanism of PE rather than a susceptibility factor. Option C is also incorrect as it discusses the revelation of symptoms, not susceptibility.

Question 4:

  • Correct Answer: A. Cleaning of the blood of toxins.
  • Reasoning: The passage discusses the use of the cephalic vein for hemodialysis, which is a process for removing waste products from the blood, effectively “cleaning” it. The other options, B and C, are not mentioned in relation to the cephalic vein.

Question 5:

  • Correct Answer: C. Adefovir goes well in coordination with Cycloferon.
  • Reasoning: The table lists various dual therapies and their percentages. The highest percentage (55%) is for Cycloferon + Adefovir, indicating that they are used together most frequently. Options A and B are incorrect as they are not supported by the data in the table.

Question 6:

  • Correct Answer: C. Microfluidics, Decorte.
  • Reasoning: The passage lists marketed formulations of liposomes and mentions Microfluidics and Decorte as companies that market moisturizers. Option A is incorrect because it includes “NOW Solutions,” which markets a different product. Option B is incorrect because it includes “Dior,” which is not listed as marketing moisturizers.

Part C Text 1, questions 7 to 14,

  • Question 7: Which disease progresses faster?

    • Answer: B (Jakob)
    • Reasoning: The text states that Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease progresses much more rapidly compared to other dementia-like brain disorders, such as Alzheimer’s.

  • Question 8: Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease is commonly found among adults or elderly people.

    • Answer: B (True)
    • Reasoning: The text mentions that Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease is most frequently diagnosed in older adults.

  • Question 9: People affected with the disease may die after;

    • Answer: D (Not given)
    • Reasoning: The text does not provide a specific time frame for when affected individuals may die, only that the disease usually runs its course in about seven months.

  • Question 10: Paragraph 3 talks more about;

    • Answer: C (Transmission)
    • Reasoning: The third paragraph discusses how Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease develops, including sporadic, inherited, and contaminated cases, which relates to transmission.

    • Answer: D (B and C)
    • Reasoning: The text identifies age and genetics as risk factors for Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease.

  • Question 12: People who may have the human growth hormone derived from human pituitary glands may be at risk of iatrogenic CJD.

    • Answer: A (100% true)
    • Reasoning: The text explicitly states that individuals who’ve received human growth hormone derived from human pituitary glands may be at risk of iatrogenic Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease.

  • Question 13: Confirmation of the Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease can be done only after the death of the person.

    • Answer: C (True in some cases)
    • Reasoning: While the text says that only a brain biopsy or autopsy can confirm the presence of the disease, it also mentions that doctors can often make an accurate diagnosis based on medical history, symptoms, and tests.

  • Question 14: What is most helpful in detecting CJD?

    • Answer: D (All of the above)
    • Reasoning: The text lists Electroencephalogram (EEG), Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), and Spinal fluid tests as diagnostic tests that help detect Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease.

Questions 15 to 22 from Part C Text 2,

  • Correct Answer: B. Overdressing
  • Reason: The text states that babies can develop heat rash if they are overdressed or excessively bundled.

  • Reason: The text mentions that miliaria profunda is a less frequent form of heat rash that can occur after repeated episodes of prickly heat.

    • C: It’s not always true, only in some cases.

Question 22: Medical treatment for heat rash is effective when the;
