In which of the following techniques is Piezo-electric effect used?

  1. NMR

  2. PET

  3. Sonography

  4. All of these


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

To produce an ultrasound, a piezoelectric crystal has an alternating current applied across it. The piezoelectric crystal grows and shrinks depending on the voltage run through it. Running an alternating current through it causes it to vibrate at a high speed and to produce an ultrasound. This conversion of electrical energy to mechanical energy is known as the piezoelectric effect.

Explanation:

Coronary ligament lies between menisci and tibial condyle.

According to clinical trials, Phase II trial is for checking

  1. maximal tolerated dose

  2. efficacy

  3. lethal dose

  4. none of the above


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

Phase I: Researchers test a new drug or treatment in a small group of people for the first time to evaluate its safety, determine a safe dosage range and identify side effects. •Phase II: The drug or treatment is given to a larger group of people to see if it is effective and to further evaluate its safety. •Phase III: The drug or treatment is given to large groups of people to confirm its effectiveness, monitor side effects, compare it to commonly used treatments and collect information that will allow the drug or treatment to be used safely. •Phase IV: Studies are done after the drug or treatment has been marketed to gather information on the drug's effect in various populations and any side effects associated with long-term use.

Which of the following cells guard against the over production of antibodies?

A patient suffering from cholera is given saline drip because

  1. Cl- ions are important component of blood plasma

  2. Na+ ions help to retain water in the body

  3. Na+ ions are important in transport of substances across membrane

  4. Cl- ions help in the formation of HCl in stomach for digestion


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

In patients affected with cholera, a cholera enterotoxin is produced which results in increased synthesis of intracellular cyclic AMP, which in turn increases the permeably of intestinal mucosa, leading to secretion of fluid throughout the small intestine. Hence the patient is given saline drip whereby Na+ ions restore the osmotic balance by retaining water in the body.
