The facts were stipulated. In the year 1921 petitioners made a declaration of trust of real estate in Los Angeles. They were to be designated in "their collective capacity" as "Western Avenue Golf Club." The trustees were authorized to add to their number and to choose their successors; to purchase, encumber, sell, lease and operate the "described or other lands"; to construct and operate golf courses, club houses, etc.; to receive the rents, profits and income; to make loans and investments; to make regulations; and generally to manage the trust estate as if the trustees were its absolute owners. The trustees were declared to be without power to bind the beneficiaries personally by "any act, neglect or default," and the beneficiaries and all persons dealing with the trustees were required to look for payment or indemnity to the trust property. The beneficial interests were to be evidenced solely by transferable certificates for shares which were divided into 2,000 preferred shares of the par value of $100 each, and 2,000 common shares of no par value, and the rights of the respective shareholders in the surplus, profits, and capital assets were defined. "Share ledgers" showing the names and addresses of shareholders were to be kept.

Question 1

Can jaundice occur early in schistosomal hepatic fibrosis and, if so, how?

Question 2

My patient has been found to have a serum bilirubin of 34 mol/L

(2 mg/dL) on three occasions. The other liver tests are normal. He tells

me he has Gilbert's disease; how can I prove this?c75

Question 3

Why is urinary urobilinogen increased in haemolytic jaundice? If the

bilirubin in this condition is unconjugated, how does it reach the terminal

ileum to be converted into urobilinogen?

Question 4

How does cholestatic jaundice affect the kidney?

Question 5

What is the mechanism by which cholestatic jaundice causes

bradycardia?

Question 6

Are 'jaundice' and 'icterus' one and the same? I was taught that icterus

is yellowing of the sclera, while jaundice is yellowing of the skin and the

mucous membranes. As a result, carotenaemia can produce jaundice but

not icterus: is this so? I would be grateful if you would clarify this for me.

Question 7

I am working on non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) but I did not

find anything regarding it. Can you tell me about its relationship with

lipids?

Question 8

Is NASH a valid term or not and what manifestation has it?

Question 9

Is terlipressin better in controlling variceal bleeding than somatostatin?

Question 10

Why is there a hyperdynamic circulation in cirrhosis?

Question 11

Why is there an increased level of immunoglobulin G (IgG) in patients

with cirrhosis?
