What is PCOS?
What is PCOS?
PCOS is polycystic ovary syndrome, which is a chronic hormonal disorder that can cause enlarged ovaries with multiple small cysts on the outer edges. The cause is unknown, but the disorder can be managed via lifestyle changes, hormonal birth control methods, and surgery. If left untreated, it can cause infertility, high cholesterol problems, mental health issues, and is a risk factor for cancer and diabetes.

Which of these conditions refers to "inflammation of the testicles"?
Which of these conditions refers to "inflammation of the testicles"?
"Orchitis" refers to inflammation of either one or both of the testicles. It is marked by pain, swelling, and a feeling of heaviness in the testes. It can be caused by bacterial infection and is also commonly associated with the mumps virus. In contrast, "otitis" refers to inflammation of the outer, middle, or inner ear; it is commonly associated with infection. "Oophoritis" refers to inflammation of the ovary and is often seen with salpingitis, which is inflammation of the fallopian tubes. Lastly, osteoarthritis refers to a joint disease which results from the breakdown of joint cartilage and bone.

Calcitonin may be used therapeutically for the treatment of what condition(s)?
Calcitonin may be used therapeutically for the treatment of what condition(s)?
Calcitonin inhibits osteoclasts and can be used therapeutically for treatment of osteoporosis and hyperparathyroidism. Osteoclasts are responsible for removing "old bone". Osteoporosis may occur when the removal of "old bone" is greater than the creation of "new bone". By inhibiting osteoclasts, the bone is able to create "new bone" at a faster rate. Similarly, hyperparathyroidism is likely to cause hypercalcemia, which is in part due to the activation of osteoclasts. Thus, calcitonin may be used to take blood calcium levels back down to baseline.

What are the palpable landmarks for identifying the borders of the perineum in both men and women?
What are the palpable landmarks for identifying the borders of the perineum in both men and women?
The four palpable landmarks for identifying the borders of the perineum are the pubic symphysis, coccyx, and the ischial tuberosities (one in each side). These landmarks are found in both males and females, although the perineum area is larger in women due to the wider pelvic opening.
Posterior superior and inferior iliac spines lie beyond the area of the perineum, and therefore are not used as landmarks for this identification purpose.

A physician sees a woman who was sexually assaulted and decides to perform some tests. Which of these substances provides a forensic determination for the occurrence of rape?
A physician sees a woman who was sexually assaulted and decides to perform some tests. Which of these substances provides a forensic determination for the occurrence of rape?
A man's ejaculate contains seminal fluid. Seminal vesicles produce the alkaline portion of seminal fluid, which contains fructose and choline. Thus, the presence of fructose on or inside the female patient would provide forensic evidence of rape.

Cushing's disease is caused by which of the following?
Cushing's disease is caused by which of the following?
Hormone imbalances can result in numerous diseases and disorders.
Excess adrenocorticotropic hormone can result in Cushing's disease, characterized by excess weight, fatigue, and redness and roundness in the facial features.
A deficiency in adrenocorticotropic hormone can result in Addison's disease, characterized by low blood pressure and hyperpigmentation.
Excess growth hormone can have different results, depending on the age at which the imbalance occurs. Gigantism results when there is an excess of GH during childhoos, while acromegaly results during adulthood.
Excess thyroid-stimulating hormone can result in Grave's disease, which has many symptoms similar to hyperthyroidism. Such symptoms include weight loss and hyperactivity. Grave's disease can also produce goiters.
A deficiency in thyroid-stimulating hormone can have different results, depending on the age at which the imbalance occurs. Cretinism, myxedema, and Hashimoto's disease are all caused by TSH dificiency.
