Recalled questions (31 Oct 2026)

• The stem and values weren't visible to me.
• Approach: low pH and low HCO3 mean metabolic acidosis. Calculate the anion gap (Na − Cl − HCO3, normal about 8 to 12). A high gap points to lactic acidosis, ketoacidosis, uremia or toxins. A normal gap points to diarrhea or renal tubular acidosis.
• Then check compensation with Winter's formula: expected pCO2 = 1.5 × HCO3 + 8 (± 2).

• Answer: dihydropyridines such as amlodipine and nifedipine dilate arterioles more than veins.
• This raises capillary hydrostatic pressure, so fluid moves into the interstitium.
• It is not caused by sodium or water retention or by heart failure, so diuretics work poorly. An ACE inhibitor or ARB added to the CCB reduces it.

• I'm fairly confident this refers to India's Anemia Mukt Bharat schedule: the weekly pink IFA tablet with 45 mg elemental iron and 400 mcg folic acid.
• The 10 to 19 year group gets the blue tablet (60 mg iron and 500 mcg folic acid).
• I haven't checked this against the video's keyed answer, so confirm it against the current guideline.

• Answer: oil droplet cataract.
• Galactitol builds up through aldose reductase and causes lens osmotic damage.
• Treatment is a galactose-free diet.

• The stem wasn't visible to me.
• Usual first-line options are topical podophyllotoxin, imiquimod or sinecatechins (self-applied). Clinic-based options are trichloroacetic acid, cryotherapy or excision.
• In pregnancy, avoid podophyllin, podophyllotoxin and imiquimod. Use trichloroacetic acid, cryotherapy or surgical removal instead.

What reviewers said about the paper

• The paper had image-based questions in radiology, ENT and dermatology.
• Candidates reported no video-based questions.
• It leaned on core clinical knowledge, such as specific monoclonal antibodies and exact doses.
• The pass mark is 150 out of 300, with no negative marking.
