Question 1

In law of agency, it mainly focuses on the relationship between the principal and the agent who acts on his behalf; therefore, explain three conditions that should be fulfilled for agency by necessity to arise.

Question 2

What is the haemoglobin content of reticulocytes and how can this be

measured or determined?

Question 3

We are told that an erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR) above

100 mm/h has a limited differential diagnosis, mainly vasculitis,

malignancy and granulomatous diseases. Could you explain whether

that applies to an ESR after one hour or two?

Question 4

What causes a raised erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR)?

Question 5

What are the causes of very raised erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR)?

I mean an ESR 100 mm/h. Is this test diagnostic in any disease besides

polymyalgia rheumatica and giant cell arteritis?

Question 6

1. Does the erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR) rise with age?

2. Can an ESR of 50 mm/h in an 80-year-old female with no evidence of

systemic disease be considered normal?

Question 7

1. What is a 'normal' erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR)? Is the

equation of a normal ESRage 10, correct?

2. Would a normal ESR exclude a vasculitic cause in the case of stroke? 65

Question 8

In which conditions is C-reactive protein (CRP) more informative than

the erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR)?

Question 9

What is the management of an isolated high ferritin (without any signs,

symptoms or changes in the other blood investigations)?

Question 10

Is the mean corpuscular volume (MCV) useful? What is the RDW and

when is it used?
