• WBR0964  + (''' Correct ''' : Secondary polycythemia i … ''' Correct ''' : Secondary polycythemia is caused by either natural or artificial increases in the production of erythropoietin that result in an increased production of erythrocytes.

• WBR0962  + (''' Incorrect ''' : Platelet transfusion i … ''' Incorrect ''' : Platelet transfusion is not normally recommended and is usually unsuccessful in raising a patient's platelet count. This is because the underlying autoimmune mechanism that destroyed the patient's platelets to begin with will also destroy donor platelets. An exception to this rule is when a patient is bleeding profusely, when transfusion of platelets can quickly form a platelet plug to stop bleeding, a life-threatening hemorrhage. Intravenous immunoglobulin administration, with the platelet transfusion, may improve their survival.t transfusion, may improve their survival.)

A positive test is the release of 14C-serotonin when therapeutic (0.1 U/mL) concentrations of heparin are used, rather than high (100 U/mL) concentrations. This assay is not generally available and due to its high cost it is not done routinely.to its high cost it is not done routinely.)

• WBR0397  + ('''Correct'''-Nitrogen narcosis is due to … '''Correct'''-Nitrogen narcosis is due to increased partial pressure of nitrogen in the nervous system; symptoms are analogous to those of alcohol intoxication like lightheadedness, dizziness, ataxia, and nausea. It is a manifestation of compression sickness occurring during descent.ression sickness occurring during descent.)
• WBR0918  + ('''Correct'''-Polyps with non-infiltrating carcinoma should be followed up with a repeat colonoscopy after 1 year because of the increased risk of relapse.)
• WBR0824  + ('''Correct'''-This patient has no family history of colorectal cancer and so routine screening for colorectal cancer should begin at the age of 50 years with repeat colonoscopy every 10 years.)

• WBR1150  + ('''Incorrect''' - After diagnosing papilla … '''Incorrect''' - After diagnosing papillary carcinoma of thyroid with a histopathological analysis, ultrasound of the neck is the primary modality that is used for staging the disease. CT scan of the neck and the chest might be valuable only if the disease is recurrent or metastatic.if the disease is recurrent or metastatic.)
• WBR0180  + ('''Incorrect''' : A cold water challenge … '''Incorrect''' : A cold water challenge test can induce an attack of Raynaud's phenomenon. It is not recommended since the responses are inconsistent even in those with definite Raynaud's phenomenon.

• WBR0622  + ('''Incorrect''' : Most anti-mitochondrial antibodies assays are almost as sensitive and specific for PBC as liver biopsy, but diagnostic confirmation always requires liver biopsy.)
• WBR0229  + ('''Incorrect''' : Panic attacks can present in a similar way. However high blood pressure in one of the previous attack favors the diagnosis of pheochromocytoma.)
