🔴Phenytoin- It is a widely used antiepileptic drug & is the most frequent cause of drug-induced gingival hypertrophy or overgrowth. • Approximately 50% of patients on phenytoin develop gum enlargement, especially in the anterior gingiva. ∆ Pathogenesis- Stimulation of gingival fibroblasts leading to excessive collagen accumulation. • Severity is influenced by dose, duration, oral hygiene & genetic predisposition. ∆ C/F- Gingival hypertrophy is painless but may cause cosmetic issues, difficulty chewing & increase risk of periodontal disease. ✓T/t- Meticulous oral hygiene, possible drug substitution & surgical excision in severe cases. ∆ Other drugs causing gingival hypertrophy- Cyclosporine (immunosuppressant) & calcium channel blockers (e.g., nifedipine) but less commonly.

💠Thyroglossal cyst- It is a congenital neck cyst arising from persistent thyroglossal duct remnants. It is the M/C congenital neck cyst in children & adults. ∆ C/F- An usually painless, midline neck swelling that moves with swallowing or tongue protrusion, may become infected, leading to swelling, tenderness, redness & sometimes fistula formation, can cause speech/swallowing difficulty if large. ✓ Dx- Clinical, USG/CT scan to confirm location & relation to hyoid bone, fine needle aspiration/biopsy may be performed if diagnosis is uncertain. ∆ T/t- Sistrunk procedure= Removal of the cyst along with the middle part of the hyoid bone & tract to prevent recurrence.

Cushing's syndrome. ∆ Pathophysiology- Excess glucocorticoids (endogenous/exogenous) cause fat redistribution (truncal > peripheral), collagen breakdown (striae), protein catabolism (muscle wasting), and insulin resistance (hyperglycemia). • Central obesity, moon face, and buffalo hump are characteristic for Cushing's syndrome.

B. ≥90 mm Hg. Sublingual nitroglycerin is a potent arteriolar and venodilator; it rapidly lowers preload and afterload, which can cause hypotension and reduced coronary perfusion in already low‑BP patients. Because of this, it is contraindicated in severe hypotension, and most guidelines state it should not be given when SBP is <90 mm Hg or when there is signs of shock (e.g., severe bradycardia, severe anemia, inferior MI with RV involvement).

C) Azithromycin+antihistamine. Azithromycin and certain antihistamines are well-known to cause prolonged QT interval by blocking cardiac potassium channels, potentially leading to life-threatening Torsades de Pointes. This is because both drug classes independently delay ventricular repolarization, creating a dangerous synergistic effect on the heart's electrical rhythm.

A. Epiglottitis- It is an acute, rapidly progressive, life-threatening inflammation of the epiglottis & surrounding supraglottic structures causing airway obstruction. • Causative organism- M/C= Haemophilus influenzae type b (Hib) • Age group- It is Common in 2–6 years (unvaccinated). ∆ C/F- High fever, Extremely Severe sore throat, Dysphagia, odynophagia, drooling, Muffled "hot-potato" voice, Stridor, respiratory distress. • Classic posture- Tripod or sniffing position. ✓ Dx- Clinical, Radiological sign: "Thumb sign" on lateral neck X-ray. 🚫Do NOT examine throat with tongue depressor- It can cause complete obstruction. ∆ T/t- TOC = Secure airway & IV ceftriaxone. • Prevention- Hib vaccine. • D/d- Croup (laryngotracheobronchitis)– It has barking cough & steeple sign, whereas epiglottitis has drooling & thumb sign.

B. Chloramphenicol. ✴️Gray baby syndrome- It is a life-threatening reaction to the antibiotic chloramphenicol in newborns, especially premature infants. • Reason- It occurs because infants have immature liver enzymes that can't metabolize chloramphenicol leading to drug accumulation & toxicity. ∆ C/F- Main features are gray or ashen skin color, vomiting, abdominal distention, low blood pressure, cyanosis & respiratory distress. ∆ T/t- Early recognition & stopping the drug are essential; supportive care is needed to prevent fatal outcome.

B) H. Pylori. Helicobacter pylori is the primary etiological agent of peptic ulcer disease, accounting for approximately 70% of gastric and over 90% of duodenal ulcers globally. Long-term NSAID use remains the second most common cause, while factors like stress and alcohol act as significant exacerbators rather than primary initiators.

D. Hypoglossal nerve. • Cranial dura mater receives somatic sensory innervation mainly from-: Trigeminal nerve (CN V)– especially its meningeal branches (V1, V2, V3) to supratentorial dura and middle cranial fossa. • Upper cervical nerves (C1–C3)– via meningeal branches covering the posterior cranial fossa and dura around the foramen magnum. • Vagus nerve (CN X) – via its meningeal branch supplying some infratentorial dura (posterior cranial fossa). •Hypoglossal nerve (CN XII) is a pure motor nerve for intrinsic and extrinsic tongue muscles and does not supply the dura.

E. Continuous. A Patent Ductus Arteriosus (PDA) produces a continuous, "machinery-like" murmur because the pressure in the aorta remains higher than the pulmonary artery throughout both systole and diastole. This persistent pressure gradient causes a constant left-to-right shunt, creating a sound that peaks in late systole and continues through the second heart sound into diastole.
