ABFM ITE EXAM QUESTIONS WITH
CORRECT ANSWERS |COMPLETE SOLUTION| 2024
Uterine fibroid tumors (leiomyomas) are the most
common tumors of the female reproductive tract. -
CORRECT ANS Many fibroids are asymptomatic and are
discovered incidentally, with observation being the
preferred management in this situation. The risk of
malignant leiomyosarcoma is exceedingly small (0.23% in
one study) and there is a risk of side effects or
complications from other treatment modalities.
Diarrhea that develops in patients with ileal Crohn's
disease or following ileal resection is usually due to
increased amounts of bile acid remaining in the stool. This
affects colonic secretion and motility and various protein
factors in the gut, resulting in the development of bile acid
diarrhoea (BAD). - CORRECT ANS A therapeutic trial with
a bileacid sequestrant such as cholestyramine is most
often used for both the diagnosis and treatment of BAD.
Reducing fat intake may also be beneficial.
Fiber supplementation may help to produce a more
formed stool and could be used as an adjunct treatment
when appropriate.
