A buildup of sticky plaque (fat and cholesterol) can narrow your heart's arteries, making it harder for blood to pass through. Many people don't even know there's a problem until an artery is clogged by a blood clot and they have a heart attack. But there may be warning signs of coronary artery disease, like frequent chest pain called angina.

1. Is there any rationale for giving either propranolol, valproate or buspirone to patients with cerebellar ataxia?

2. Is there a laboratory marker for cerebral dominant arteriopathy with subcortical infarcts and leucoencephalopathy (CADASIL)? Is serum lactic acid elevated?

3. Primary brain tumours rarely metastasize outside the brain but malignancies outside the brain frequently metastasize to the brain. Why?

4. In a case of brain tumour, can papilloedema occur without a headache?

5. What are the pathological diagnostic features of glioblastoma multiforme?

6. Is acetazolamide effective in cases of normal pressure hydrocephalus? How effective is low-dose digoxin?

7. If dementia and incontinence are present, but gait apraxia is not, can normal pressure hydrocephalus be diagnosed?

8. Is a normal CT (plain and with contrast) in patients with headache, bilateral papilloedema and a clear conscious level sufficient to diagnose benign intracranial hypertension?

9. What is the value above which cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) pressure is said to be raised?

10. Could benign intracranial hypertension be diagnosed without headache as a complaint?
