Re: Doc, Doc!

Hi;

The Answer #1102 is correct too. Excellent, bobbym!

#1103. Name the medical term / phrase -  (also known as trisomy 18 [T18]) It is a chromosomal abnormality caused by the presence of all, or part of, an extra 18th chromosome. This genetic condition almost always results from nondisjunction during meiosis. It is named after a physician, who first described the syndrome in 1960. It is the second-most common autosomal trisomy, after Down syndrome, that carries to term.

Hi;

#1107. Name the medical term / phrase -  (also known as  tardive cyanosis) It is defined as the process in which a long-standing left-to-right cardiac shunt caused by a congenital heart defect (typically by a ventricular septal defect, atrial septal defect, or less commonly, patent ductus arteriosus) causes pulmonary hypertension and eventual reversal of the shunt into a cyanotic right-to-left shunt. Because of the advent of fetal screening with echocardiography early in life, the incidence of heart defects progressing to it has decreased.

Re: Doc, Doc!

Hi Chris2, bobbym, and Agnishom,

The Answer 'glaucoma' is correct. Splendid, Chris2 and bobbym! I haven't come across any problem/puzzle/teaser/paradox in Medicine, as far as I know. Only Questions/Answers, Agnishom.

I came across one puzzle in medicine. I have regular levels of T3 and T4 hormones, but a low level of Thyroid Simulating Hormone. Why should that be?
