The coding mRNA sequence can be described as a unit of three nucleotides called a codon.The ribosome binds to the mRNA at the start codon (AUG) that is recognized only by the initiator tRNA. The ribosome proceeds to the elongation phase of protein synthesis. During this stage, complexes, composed of an amino acid linked to tRNA, sequentially bind to the appropriate codon in mRNA by forming complementary base pairs with the tRNA anticodon. The ribosome moves from codon to codon along the mRNA. Amino acids are added one by one, translated into polypeptidic sequences dictated by DNA and represented by mRNA. At the end, a release factor binds to the stop codon, terminating translation and releasing the complete polypeptide from the ribosome.

Parakeratosis indicates that the cells in the stratum corneum have retained their nuclei. This is seen in conditions with rapid keratin formation, such as psoriasis. Hyperkeratosis (choice a) is an increase in the stratum corneum.Acanthosis (choice b) is hyperplasia of the stratum spinosum. Spongiosis (choice c) is edema in the epidermis. Keratosis (choice e) is a well defined lesion of the epidermis with an increase the stratum corneum.

The patient has a megaloblastic anemia, which can be due to deficiency of folate or B12. Pregnancy increases the need for folate and other nutrients used by both baby and mother

The correct answer is C. The loading of O2 is facilitated when the oxygen dissociation curve shifts to the left, and the unloading of O2 is facilitated when the oxygen dissociation curve shifts to the right. A good way to remember the conditions that promote dissociation of O2 is to think of exercising muscle, which has decreased pH (choice C) because of the accumulation of lactic acid, increased PCO2 (compare with choice B) because of the increased rate of aerobic metabolism, increased temperature (compare with choice D), and increased 2,3-DPG (2,3-diphosphoglycerate; compare with choice E) because of increased glycolysis. Carbon monoxide poisoning (choice A) left-shifts the oxygen dissociation curve, which interferes with the unloading of O2. Carbon monoxide also strongly binds to available sites on hemoglobin.

The fovea lies slightly below and to one side of the optic disk. It is found in the centre of a shallow depression or pit (the macula). Only cones are present at the fovea, which is an area approximately 0.2 mm in diameter: all other parts of the retina including blood vessels are pushed aside. The cones here have individual connections with the bipolar and ganglion cells, hence the fovea gives us our most sensitive and acute vision.

A patient who has suffered severe chest trauma in an automobile accident is found to have fluid in the right pleural space. A thoracentesis reveals the presence of chylous fluid in the pleural space, suggesting a rupture of the thoracic duct. In which regions of the thorax is the thoracic duct found?

a) Anterior and middle mediastinum

b) Anterior and superior mediastinum

c) Middle and posterior mediastinum

d) Middle and superior mediastinum

e) Posterior and superior mediastinum

The mediastinum is divided into four regions. The region above the manubriosternal junction (level of fourth thoracic vertebra) is the superior mediastinum. The region below the manubriosternal junction is divided into the anterior mediastinum (anterior to the pericardium), the middle mediastinum (within the pericardium), and the posterior mediastinum (posterior to the pericardium). The thoracic duct enters the thorax through the aortic hiatus of the diaphragm. At this point it lies in the posterior mediastinum, the region posterior to the pericardium. As it ascends through the thorax and passes the level of the fourth thoracic vertebra, it enters the superior mediastinum. The anterior mediastinum (choices A and B) contains the thymus and fatty connective tissue. The middle mediastinum (choices A, C, and D) contains the heart and the roots of the great vessels. In addition to the thoracic duct, the superior mediastinum (choices B, D, and E) contains the ascending aorta, aortic arch, branches of the aortic arch, descending aorta, superior vena cava, brachiocephalic veins, thymus, trachea and esophagus. In addition to the thoracic duct, the posterior mediastinum (choices C and E) contains the descending aorta, azygos vein, hemiazygos vein and the esophagus

The most common error in frontal plane recording results from reversal of two of the electrodes. One example is reversal of the right and left arm electrodes In this instance, lead I appears inverted, leads II and III are reversed, leads aVR and aVL are reversed, and lead aVF is correct.
