EXCITING NEWS....(and a less exciting few MCQ)

As a part of a drive to bring you better intelligence we are developing a new website. This will be up and running very very shortly. We're just learning how to operate the more sophisticated parts of our webhost, which is a stunning machine based in the US, with ridiculous amounts of bandwidth, power and storage, so keep checking back.

In the meantime, for a little fun, we thought you might like to see some MCQs, which are definitely different from the ones you'll have seen elsewhere:

Some of them will be at the same level, some will be harder, some will be easier, and some of them will be plain ridiculous (and therefore tagged as work distraction).

So:

1. The following are associated with a decrease in muscle strength/power:
A. Eaton-Lambert syndrome
B. Fallot’s Tetralogy
C. Treacher-Collins syndrome
D. Guillain-Barrè syndrome
E. Kawasaki disease

2. Tetanus
A. is caused by the Gram-positive bacillus Tetanus botulinum
B. has an incubation period from 1 to 36 days
C. is fatal >50% of the time
D. is associated with myocardial infarction
E. can be prevented by vaccination with inactivated tetanus toxoid which should be boosted every 3 years.
