Explanation

The true statement about Acute Myeloid Leukemia (AML) among the options provided is More than 20% blasts for diagnosis.

AML is characterized by the proliferation of myeloid precursor cells (blasts) in the bone marrow, typically comprising more than 20% of the nucleated cells.

Explanation

Tumors secreting placental alkaline phosphatase (PLAP) are commonly associated with germ cell tumors, particularly dysgerminomas.

Dysgerminomas are malignant ovarian tumors

This tumor typically occurs in young women.

They often produce elevated levels of PLAP, which can be detected in blood tests.

Explanation

The cell wall is the outer covering of a cell, present adjacent to the cell membrane, which is also called the plasma membrane.

As mentioned earlier, the cell wall is present in all plant cells, fungi, bacteria, algae, and some archaea.

Explanation

Platelets are produced from very large bone marrow cells called megakaryocytes.

As megakaryocytes develop into giant cells,

they undergo a process of fragmentation that results in the release of over 1,000 platelets per megakaryocyte.

Explanation

The oxytocin reflex is also sometimes called the “letdown reflex” or the “milk ejection reflex”.

It is produced more quickly than prolactin.

It makes the milk that is already in the breast flow for the current feed, and helps the baby to get the milk easily.

Explanation

Facial nerve paralysis typically cannot be directly detected on a CT (computed tomography) scan.

A CT scan can help identify potential causes of facial nerve paralysis, such as tumors 

Explanation

The familial cancer syndrome that exhibits autosomal recessive inheritance among the options listed is "Fanconi's anemia."

It is a rare genetic disorder characterized by bone marrow failure and physical abnormalities.

It is inherited in an autosomal recessive pattern, which means an individual must inherit two copies of the mutated gene (one from each parent) to develop the disorder.

The other syndromes listed—ataxia telangiectasia, Bloom's syndrome, Wilson's tumor, and xeroderma pigmentosa

typically exhibit autosomal recessive or autosomal dominant inheritance patterns

Explanation

The most common cause of neonatal deaths in developing countries is "birth asphyxia."

Hypoxia is a newborn condition caused by insufficient oxygen before, during, or after birth.

It can result from various factors such as:

• prolonged labor
• placental complications
• umbilical cord problems
• maternal health issues
  

Explanation

Aphakia is defined as the "absence of the lens from its normal position."

This condition typically occurs after surgical lens removal, often due to cataract surgery.

As a result of aphakia, the eye loses its ability to focus light onto the retina properly, leading to significant refractive error and visual impairment.

Explanation

Surgery is the mainstay treatment for nasopharyngeal angiofibroma,

This tumor is a benign but locally aggressive vascular tumor that occurs predominantly in adolescent males.
