What type of questions are asked in DM Medicine ?



The NEET DM Exam pattern is changing constantly and the NBE decided it to be CBT (Computer Based Exam). The Standard is increasing and Clinical new questions are being added. Whole process has undergone a great change.

Students are not aware of what is asked. 

DM Aspirants need to be well prepared with all information.

Now MD is a degree taken like MBBS and super specialization is important. In ant Branch of DM one needs to know basic medicine or General medicine. General medicine can be asked up to 40 percent in all DM Specialties.

Examples of Knowing your Basic Knowledge 

What do you know about pranlukast?

How does Suplatast tosilate act ?

What is the mechanism of action of Icatibant ?

What is the role of Ticagrelor ?

What are uses of Rivaroxaban ?

What are the indications of use of Indacaterol ?

If you are not aware, the below paragraph gives you an idea especially about the brief knowledge about these  drugs which are asked in your examinations of DM or NEET SS. 

  • Leukotriene-receptor antagonists (Pranlukast) and synthesis-inhibitors (zileuton) reduce the severity of bronchial hyperresponsiveness in asthma.
  • Suplatast tosilate is An anti-asthma compound that, in vitro, selectively inhibits IL-4 and IL-5 production from allergen-stimulated human Th2 lymphocytes, but not IFN-γ production from human Th1 lymphocytes.
  • Icatibant is a selective B2 bradykinin receptor antagonist indicated for the treatment of acute attacks of hereditary angioedema.
  • Ticagrelor is a P2Y12 platelet inhibitor indicated to reduce the rate of thrombotic cardiovascular events in patients with acute coronary syndrome.
  • Rivaroxaban is a factor Xa inhibitor indicated for the prophylaxis of deep vein thrombosis (DVT) in patients undergoing knee or hip replacement surgery, and to reduce the risk of stroke in people who have abnormal heart rhythm (non-valvular atrial fibrillation). 
  • Indacaterol inhalation powder is a long-acting beta2-agonist (LABA) for the long-term maintenance treatment of airflow obstruction in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD).

These questions can be a part of Pulmonology Exams as well. This is just for an idea. Students may get discouraged at not knowing some things. 

In DM Medicine a question was asked about Benedicts Syndrome:

This is a (Paramedian midbrain syndrome). We expect DM Aspirant to know about this clinical entity.

The clinical features result because of the involvement of following structures:

Complete ipsilateral oculomotor paralysis causing abduction and depression because of sparing of lateral rectus (VI CN) and superior oblique muscle (IV CN). There is also ptosis and dilatation of Ipsilateral pupil. All these are manifestations of involvement of oculomotor nerve roots.

Contralateral  cerebellar dystaxia with intention tremors. This is because of involvement of superior cerebellar peduncle (dentato-thalamic fibers).

Having Concept about such types of syndromes is important. You may be asked about Wallenburgs syndrome or Ramsay hunt syndrome. Such types of questions bjut with greater depth and more standard as compared to NEET PG .

Recently they asked a question on Gefitinib :

DM Aspirant must know what class of drug it is and where it is used. Is inhibitor of the EGFR tyrosine kinase; cell-cycle arrest at the G0/G1 boundary. Metabolized via CYP3A4; prone to drug interactions Uses are: 

Non-small cell lung cancer

Non smoking women with bronchoalveolar tumors.

The main motive is to cover all branches of medicine and study it topic wise. A good strategy is important. 

Recently they asked a question on Sporotrichosis :

Sporothrix  schenckii, the dimorphic fungus causing sporotrichosis. It grows well in a variety of soils and decaying vegetation in both temperate and tropical climates.

Rich sources of S. schenckii spores are sphagnum moss, barberry or rose thorns, splinters from old rotting wood, and some soils. 

Infection usually occurs in gardeners, farmers, and children. Disease commonly arises from subcutaneous inoculation with infectious spores by a contaminated thorn or other sharp object.

Recently they asked a question on Diagnosis of Cushings syndrome :

The diagnosis of Cushing’s syndrome is based on: Measurements of 24-h urine free cortisol  which  is a precise and cost-effective screening test. Alternatively, the failure to suppress plasma cortisol after an overnight 1-mg dexamethasone suppression test can be used to identify patients with hypercortisolism. Basal plasma ACTH levels often distinguish patients with ACTH-independent (adrenal or exogenous glucocorticoid) from those with ACTH-dependent (pituitary, ectopic ACTH) Cushing’s disease. These are important points to be taken note of .

All DM Aspirants should have the Basic Knowledge of Exams they are appearing in and what to expect in these exams.

Image Based Questions and Their Importance for NEET PG and NEET SS Exams

Image
The latest trend by Examiners in NEET Pg and   NEET SS   is a small chunk of Image Based Questions. These questions are often asked between exams. Students should be familiar with these types of questions. NBE offers online NEET SS and NEET PG exams. NEET PG and Next Examinations will ask images mainly about anatomy, pathology microbiology, surgery or medicine. The curriculum includes image-based questions about disease, pathology and radiographs. The curriculum includes images from embryology, histology and physiology, as well as clinical subjects such medicine, surgery, and other areas. NBE sugges t s new modifications for the MBBS Curriculum. The integrated, problem-based learning system aims to bring together this ‘bridge’ with basic subjects at the beginning. This innovative system demands horizontal and vertical integration, if not already from phase 1. Example of Image Based Questions in Pathology Identify a slide showing necrosis. List the types of necrosis. Identify t...

Radiology is a minor branch but should not be taken lightly. The NEET PG, NEXT and INICET Exams are highly competitive. Students need to have a good exposure to radiology and interpretation of CXRs, USG, MRI, CT. The basics of radiology in connection with clinical history to arrive at a diagnosis are important. NEET PG and other examinations like USMLE, NEXT,   MRCP , PLAB will be more clinically oriented. Superficial knowledge is long gone and a student should have a basic concept about applied aspects. With increasing competition, each mark matters and students can’t be taking things lightly. One has to be serious. A student should not underestimate the questions from minor subjects. These minor subjects like Dermatology, Optho, radiology, physiology , orthopedics are all important. Our Experts provide you glimpse of types of questions asked and some images. Interpret and see where you stand. This is to give you ideas based on your preparation. Radiology Question Types of Past Be...
