Answer to Question 1

ANS: C
The chronic myeloproliferative disorders all have increased blood cells, although which one (or ones) varies depending on the condition. They also all have overlapping clinical features. The Philadelphia chromosome is only found in chronic myelogenous leukemia within this classification. Polycythemia vera uniquely has an increased red cell mass, and serious thromboembolic complications are primarily seen in essential thrombocythemia, although they also can be a complication of polycythemia vera when the patient is treated with phlebotomy only.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: B
Myeloblasts plus promyelocytes are usually present between 1 and 5 in chronic myelogenous leukemia. A total of 20 blasts plus promyelocytes is proposed for the classification of chronic myelogenous leukemia accelerated phase. All the other findings listed are characteristic of chronic myelogenous leukemia.

Early clockmakers apparently thought that the IIII balanced out the VIII (used for the number 8) on the clock face and that it just looked better.
