NEET MDS 2026 RECALL || INTEGRATED PREPARATION || PART VII || ALL REFERENCES || MDSCONQUER

[00:00:00]Hello everyone. Welcome back to NEET MDS 2026 recall by MDS Conquer. Myself Dr. Pratusha Chava from team MDS Conquer.

[00:00:07]We'll be continuing with the few few other questions that we received from our students.

[00:00:12]Let's have a look at this question.

[00:00:13]Which group of lymph nodes receive drainage from palatine tonsil? Same question we had asked in your anatomy also in the question bank of anatomy.

[00:00:22]Lymph from palatine tonsils has drained into it. It is a very simple straightforward question. Yes, the answer is jugulodigastric nodes and from that it will go into upper deep cervical lymph nodes.

[00:00:33]Right? So, jugulodigastric nodes is the primary draining lymphatic drainage from the palatine tonsil.

[00:00:42]Next one. After 24 hours of fasting, person experiences periodic contractions in the GI that have helped to sweep away leftover food particles. Now, this is one thing that we have discussed in our previous questions also. Even in finish line, I believe one question was asked on this.

[00:00:59]Right? Regarding the nerve supply, I think of the complex and secretions from the stomach and small intestine. What type of contractions are responsible for the cleansing action? Now, if you have a look at this, yes, [snorts] the answer is migratory motor complex. Yeah? So, in in our question bank also, we described what is migratory motor complex. It is controlled basically by the hormone that is motilin. Right? So, it is a distinctive pattern of electromechanical activity that is observed in the GI smooth muscles between meals. Right?

[00:01:32]It's also called as housekeeping rule.

[00:01:34]See here, sweep a residual undigested material through digestive tube. Same line. If you see, the line is the same line that has been given in your examination. So, it is very very easy for you all to understand that yes, they are talking about migratory motor complexes and then mark the answer. Four phases are there and what are those phases? I'm not going to No, I'm not going to go into details of that, but the answer for this sweep away leftover food particles under the action of motilin done by migratory motor complex.

[00:02:08]Let's look at the next one. Woman comes to OPD with weight gain, fatigue, cold intolerance. Now, when we think about these three, weight gain, fatigue, cold intolerance, first thing that comes into our mind is hypothyroidism.

[00:02:22]Right? They have again given irregular menstruation, difficulty concentrating at work. There will be dry skin, brittle hair and nails, periorbital puffiness, okay? So, everything is because of hypothyroidism. Hypothyroidism means what? The T3 T4 hormones are low in decreased concentrations in the serum. Because of that, the TSH has to become high. Right? So, the answer for this is see here, hypothyroidism. The TSH is high, T3 T4 are low. So, if you look at here, high TSH and low T4.

[00:02:53]Right? So, this is also Like if you are They did not give you that the condition is hypothyroidism, but just looking at the symptoms, we have differentiated hyper and hypothyroidism I think a zillion number of times.

[00:03:06]Looking at the symptoms, we can come to a diagnosis that it is hypothyroidism, and based on that serum values, I told you many times they will ask you primary, secondary, where TSH is increasing, where it is decreasing, where T3 T4 will increase, where it will decrease, what happens to serum calcium, what happens to parathormone con- concerned with parathyroidism. Okay, all that we had discussed here. Right? So, hyperthyroid, hypothyroid, hyperpara, hyperpara, hypopara, primary, secondary, all the differences have been discussed.

[00:03:33]So, the answer for that has been marked.

[00:03:36]Next one, chronic alcoholic presents with hepatomegaly and raised liver enzymes. There is There is a liver biopsy and they are saying they have fatty droplets in the hepatocytes. Which stain is used for fat? So, basically, they're trying to ask you which stain is used for fat? Same in our meta bootcamp series we have given this question. I think this question is a repeat from INICET November 2021 if you can see that. In under the general path INICET repeats we had given you oil red o stain is used for it is used for frozen section of fat basically, right? For fatty liver in hepatocytes, right? For diagnosing fatty liver in hepatocytes.

[00:04:16]In frozen section see here primarily employed to detect lipids in frozen tissue section particularly using for fat in tissues and they demonstrate lipid accumulations. The answer for this is oil red o.

[00:04:29]Uh most of my students from conquer told me that meta bootcamp series question bank was quite useful for everybody. I think not only students who have taken general plans like pro live offline or plan A from MDS conquer. We have had many other students who have just picked up plans before the exam like meta bootcamp series or just previous year question banks or just following our Instagram and YouTube pages or just who have taken up course of those 10 finish lines. So from these also many aspects have been covered. The core concepts are the same revolving around which many questions have been asked in the NEET MDS 2026. So like that they have benefited. Even in the meta bootcamp series we try to include n number of questions which have been asked and the probability of them being repeated were quite often. Okay, it was more. So those questions also have been included.

[00:05:24]Next one. I think this if my students remember ma'am in pedigree charts right? In finish line pedigree charts I think this pedigree chart I must have repeated this question four or five times if I remember this.

[00:05:39]7 year old boy uncontrolled bleeding maternal uncle is having the same problem that means only men are affected, right? They have not mentioned anything about females. What kind of inheritance is this? See, this is taken from Finish Line again.

[00:05:56]Right? Where I've explained only males affected, females are carrier, it is an X-linked recessive condition. Right? And yes, definitely because it's a bleeding disorder, it can be hemophilia, very classical example. Other examples I told you to remember this mnemonic. Oblivious females will give her boys her X-linked disorders, and all these come under your X-linked recessive disorders. So, this I think all of you must have got correct because this pedigree chart, the X-linked pedigree chart in Finish Line only we we discover we discuss the concept around five to six times. So, uh yeah.

[00:06:34]We were lucky that yes, pedigree chart they asked X-linked recessive. Next one, too many questions on anemia, let's have a look at them. Patient presents with fatigue and pallor. There is microcytic hypochromic anemia. Now, just looking at microcytic hypochromic anemia, for students who have marked it as iron deficiency anemia without looking at the rest half of the question, you got it wrong there. Rest of the question rest half of the question they are saying there's increased reticulocyte count. If you remember my class that I took take every year on renal blood and medicine, in that class I covered the classifications of anemia, and based on the MCV I told the normocytic anemias are divided into low reticulocyte and high reticulocyte.

[00:07:18]Now, you can ask me, "Ma'am, they are saying microcytic hypochromic anemia, and in that they are talking about high reticulocyte count." Now, I don't remember whether that term microcytic hypochromic was given or not, but my students told me, "Ma'am, increased reticulocyte count was definitely mentioned." So, when we talk about high reticulocyte count, I told you to remember these sickle cell anemia, G6PD deficiency, hereditary spherocytosis, hemolytic anemias, paroxysmal nocturnal hemoglobinuria. Yes, and in these options, the answer is G6PD deficiency.

[00:07:51]If this increased reticulocyte count is given, no matter whether they give you normocytic or microcytic type of anemia, you have to go with G6PD deficiencies.

[00:08:02]Right?

[00:08:04]Yes. Another question from finish line.

[00:08:07]Not the same question, similar concept, right? Animal hide There's a village worker who works with animal hides.

[00:08:15]There is a blackish ulcer on the forearm with an edema. What is this? Yes, very good. This is malignant pustule. I think everybody must know the answer for this, right? Same thing we covered in finish lines, see finish line part fifth eighth finish line, right? Similar question was given. I think question was "Identify all the following statements with respect to Bacillus anthracis." And they asked which is the statement that is incorrect. I believe this was a question. And in that question, I discussed this clinical presentation of malignant pustule that is seen in Bacillus anthracis. Right? Yes, so the answer for this is Bacillus anthracis.

[00:08:58]Next one. A patient presents with prolonged fever, weight loss, hepatomegaly, and anemia. Bone marrow has intracellular amastigote forms with within the macrophages. Now, when we are discussing parasitic infections, amastigote forms within the macrophages, Donovan bodies, Leishmania Donovan bodies. Yes, Leishmania donovani. The answer for this is leishmaniasis.

[00:09:26]Okay?

[00:09:27]So, amastigote forms, if you see here, leishmaniasis caused by Leishmania, right? And the disease is present as cutaneous leishmaniasis, mucocutaneous, visceral. And if you can see here, same here, amastigote form is seen in Leishmania donovani bodies.

[00:09:45]Next one. A young female presents with fatigue, generalized weakness, occasional tingling sensation in the extremities. There is microcytic hypochromic anemia. What is the most likely diagnosis? Now, again, this is an ambiguous question. If tingling sensation is given and you have just to went with megaloblastic anemia as your answer, then the answer is wrong because they are saying microcytic hypochromic.

[00:10:11]Megaloblastic anemia is macrocytic.

[00:10:14]Okay, it can never be microcytic. And again, they are saying young female, fatigue, weakness, everything points out towards the uh iron deficiency anemia. All the symptoms of brittle nails, tachycardia, palpitations, dizziness, uh peripheral pallor, peripheral extremities are extremely cold. All these are suggestive of iron deficiency anemia. So, just don't jump into conclusion by just looking at one point. Always go through the entire question and try to see where the examiner is trying to confuse you.

[00:10:48]So, for this, the answer will be iron deficiency anemia. Thank you. I'll see you in the next part.
