Which of the following conditions is the cause of gout?

Long-standing cardiopulmonary disease.

Fungal infection.

Iron-deficiency anemia.

Myocardial infarction.

Answer and Explanation

The Correct Answer is D

Myocardial infarction. Gout is a form of arthritis that results from the deposition of uric acid crystals in joints and tissues. It occurs due to hyperuricemia, a condition characterized by an elevated level of uric acid in the blood. The most common cause of hyperuricemia is the overproduction or under-excretion of uric acid. Myocardial infarction is a condition that results from the blockage of blood flow to the heart, which can lead to tissue death. Gout is not caused by long-standing cardiopulmonary disease, fungal infection, or iron- deficiency anemia.

Choice A, Long-standing cardiopulmonary disease, is incorrect because it is not a cause of gout.

Choice B, Fungal infection, is incorrect because it is not a cause of gout. Choice C, Iron-deficiency anemia, is incorrect because it is not a cause of gout.

Correct Answer is B

Explanation

Anemia from the decrease in the maturation of red blood cells. Erythropoietin, a hormone secreted by the kidneys, stimulates the production of red blood cells in the bone marrow. A decrease in erythropoietin secretion from the kidneys will result in a decrease in the maturation of red blood cells, leading to anemia.

Choice A, an increase in blood sugar levels due to alteration in insulin levels, and Choice C, Decrease in blood sugar levels due to alteration in insulin levels are not associated with decreased secretion of erythropoietin.

Choice D, Development of male sex characteristics is not related to the function of erythropoietin.

A. Fluid accumulation under the arm. B. Drainage from the area. C. Reddened area around the breast. D. Enlargement of the arm or hand.

Correct Answer is A

Explanation

Fluid accumulation under the arm. The presence of fluid accumulation (edema) under the arm may indicate the spread of breast cancer to the lymph nodes. The physician should be notified, and further evaluation and treatment may be necessary.

Option B: Drainage from the area is not a correct answer as it may indicate a surgical site infection or an abscess, but not necessarily the spread of cancer.

Option C: Reddened area around the breast is not a correct answer as it may indicate a skin infection or inflammation, but not necessarily the spread of cancer.

Option D: Enlargement of the arm or hand is not a correct answer as it may indicate lymphedema, which is a swelling due to lymphatic system damage, but not necessarily the spread of cancer.
