Question: 64

Which is the most significant procedure in screening for benign prostatic hypertrophy?


  1. PSA

  2. DRE

  3. TRU

  4. Prostate biopsy



Answer: B - PSA, or Protein Specific Antigen, is a tool for detecting prostate disease; however, digital rectal examination, where the prostate can be palpated through the rectal wall, would be a more definitive diagnosis. Hard nodule or benign enlargement of the prostate can be felt through DRE. An increasing PSA may indicate prostate cancer.

Question: 70

The following are characteristics of nephrogenic diabetes insipidus, except:


  1. Sensitized kidney tubules to ADH

  2. A genetic (sex-linked) predilection in men

  3. Normal ADH production and secretion

  4. Large volumes of dilute urine are produced




Answer: A


Unlike Central Diabetes Insipidus, Nephrogenic diabetes insipidus is caused by the kidney’s resistance to ADH rather than a deficiency of this hormone. This results in a decreased ability of the kidneys to concentrate the urine. The disease is rare, but 90% of the known cases are believed to be X-linked, which causes the vasopressing receptor to not function properly. The primary symptom of NDI is excessive thirst and excretion of large amount of urine. Dehydration is a common complication of the disease.
