EXAM WITH CORRECT ACTUAL
QUESTIONS AND CORRECTLY WELL
DEFINED ANSWERS LATEST ALREADY
GRADED A+
what is the single greatest risk factor for stroke - ANSWERS-
hypertension
what are common risk factors for stroke - ANSWERS-arterial
HTN, insulin resistance and DM, elevated cholesterol or low
high density lipoprotein (HDL), elevated lipoprotein- A level,
hyperhomocysteinemia, congestive heart disease and PVD,
asymptomatic carotid stenosis, polycythemia and
thrombocythemia, a-fib, postmenopausal hormone therapy,
high sodium intake above 2300mg, low potassium intake
less than 4700mg, smoking, lack of physical activity, obesity,
chronic sleep deprivation
which autoimmune disease typically presents 2-4 weeks
following a bacterial/viral infection such as respiratory or GI

week in 90% of cases
Myasthenia Gravis - ANSWERS-a chronic autoimmune
disease that is mediated by Ach receptor antibodies that act
at the neuromuscular junction. The antibodies prevent
normal reception for muscle contraction
Graves disease - ANSWERS-Graves disease is a result of
autoantibodies binding to the TSH receptor sites. This leads
to hyperthyroidism
conductive hearing loss - ANSWERS-sound is not properly
conducted from the outer to inner ear. there is an
interference in air conduction that can be caused by foreign

can be treated and hearing will generally improve
