These behaviors may include self-induced vomiting, misuse of laxatives, enemas, and diuretics. Studies have found that up to 89% of bulimic patients show signs of tooth erosion.

The most common cause of acute pancreatitis.
What are gallstones? Gallstones are the most common cause with acute alcohol intoxication being second.
100
This diagnosis is notable for hypogammaglobulinemia and recurrent bacterial infections.
What is common variable immunodeficiency? Common variable immunodeficiency is the most commonly encountered primary immunodeficiency. Treatment usually consists of immunoglobulin therapy, which is an injection of human antibodies harvested from plasma donations.
100
This virus causes dendritic corneal lesions.
What is herpes simplex virus?
100
This is the karyotype for Turner's syndrome.
What is XO?
200
This term is used for the respiratory pattern associated with metabolic acidosis.
What are Kussmaul respirations? These are deep and labored breathing patterns often associated with severe metabolic acidosis, particularly DKA but also renal failure.
200
This is the best test to confirm current hepatitis C infection.
What is a HCV RNA viral load?
200
This type of hypersensitivity reaction is associated with IgE antibody and allergen.
What is Type I hypersensitivity?
200
This disease is associated with blue sclerae.
What is Osteogenesis imperfecta (would also accept iron deficiency anemia)? This congenital bone disorder is characterized by brittle bones that are prone to fractures. People with OI are born with defective connective tissue, or without the ability to make it, usually because of a deficiency of Type-I collagen.
200
This is the cause for all clinical variants of Kaposi sarcoma.
What is Human herpesvirus-8 (or Kaposi's sarcoma herpes virus, or KSHV)? This virus causes Kaposi's sarcoma, a cancer commonly occurring in AIDS patients, as well as primary effusion lymphoma and some types of multicentric Castleman's disease.
300
This is the term for flexing ones knees and hips in response to passive flexion of the neck.
What is Brudzinski's sign? The Brudziński cheek sign is a clinical sign in which pressure on the cheek elicits a reflex rise and flexion of the forearm. Brudziński symphyseal sign is a clinical sign in which pressure on the pubic symphysis elicits a reflex flexion of the hip and knee, and abduction of the leg. Brudziński neck sign is a clinical sign in which forced flexion of the neck elicits a reflex flexion of the hips. It is found in patients with meningitis, subarachnoid haemorrhage and possibly encephalitis.
300
This diagnosis is associated with a sentinel loop sign and colon cutoff sign.
What is acute pancreatitis? A sentinel loop is a sign that indicates a localized ileus from nearby inflammation. In acute pancreatitis, the sentinel loop is usually seen in left hypochondrium. The colon cut-off sign describes gaseous distension seen in proximal colon associated with with narrowing of the splenic flexure in cases of acute pancreatitis.
300
This diagnosis includes fever, adenopathy, and arthralgias following a drug exposure.
What is serum sickness? Is a reaction to proteins in antiserum derived from a non-human animal source, occurring 4–10 days after exposure. It is a type of hypersensitivity, specifically immune complex hypersensitivity (type III).
300
This is the mechanism that causes blindness in patients with Graves disease.
What is compression of the optic nerve? This condition can be treated with steroids or orbital decompression.
300
This is the most consistently effective treatment for spasmodic torticollis (cervical dystonia).
What is Botulinum toxin injection? Botulinum toxin has been used for blepharospasm, strabismus, wrinkles, upper motor neuron syndrome, excessive sweating and chronic migraines.
400
This powerful atrial wave in the jugular venous pulse is caused by the contraction of the right atrium against a closed tricuspid valve.
What is a cannon a-wave? Rapid, regular cannon A waves (the "frog sign") are diagnostic of paroxysmal supraventricular tachycardia. Irregular cannon A waves are seen in atrioventricular (AV) dissociation and are therefore especially helpful in the diagnosis of ventricular tachycardia, which includes AV dissociation in 50% of cases.
400
This gene mutation associated with familial adenomatous polyposis.
What is the APC gene? Adenomatous polyposis coli (APC) also known as deleted in polyposis 2.5 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the APC gene. Mutations in the APC gene may result in colorectal cancer. APC is classified as a tumor suppressor gene.
400
Name the immune deficiency in which IV immunoglobulin therapy is contraindicated.
What is IgA deficiency? There may be preformed IgG and IgE antibodies preform that could cause a reaction to the IVIG treatment.
400
This is the name applied to a pupil that has an afferent pupillary defect (hint: one of the 3rd years first name is in the answer).
What is a Marcus Gunn pupil? The most common cause of Marcus Gunn pupil is a lesion of the optic nerve (between the retina and the optic chiasm) or severe retinal disease.
400
Phlebotomy improves heart failure associated with this metabolic disease.
What is Hemochromatosis? The most important causes are hereditary hemochromatosis (HHC), a genetic disorder, and transfusional iron overload which can result from repeated blood transfusion.
500
This is the name of the test that measures tear production.
What is Schirmer's test? This test is used when a person experiences very dry eyes or excessive watering of the eyes. A negative (more than 10 mm of moisture on the filter paper in 5 minutes) test result is normal.
500
This biliary complication is associated with AIDS.
What is sclerosing cholangiopathy? AIDS cholangiopathy is a syndrome of biliary obstruction resulting from infection-related strictures of the biliary tract. AIDS cholangiopathy occurred in as many as 26 percent of AIDS patients prior to the advent of highly active antiretroviral therapy.
500
This treatment is used for patients on a beta-blocker who are not responding to epinephrine during anaphylaxis.
What is glucagon? Glucagon is used for hypoglycemia, beta blocker overdose, anaphylaxis and impacted food (glucagon relaxes the lower esophageal sphincter and may be used in those with an impacted food bolus in the esophagus).
500
This systemic disease has the highest prevalence of anterior uveitis.
What is Behcet's disease? This is an immune-mediated small-vessel systemic vasculitis that often presents with mucous membrane ulceration and ocular problems.
500
This is the treatment for severe parvovirus B19 infection in a patient with HIV.
What is IVIG? Resolution of infection depends on the presence of immunoglobulins against parvovirus B19. Intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIG) has been used with good results for patients suffering pure red cell aplasia (PRCA), however patients should be monitored for relapsed viremia.
