Answer to Question 1

1, 2, 3, 4
Portal hypertension can lead to the development of esophageal varices, splenomegaly, hemorrhoids, and caput medusae. Portal hypertension does not lead to gastritis or gallstone formation.

Answer to Question 2

1
Osteomalacia is a metabolic disease that causes poor and delayed mineralization of the bone cells in mature bones. The main cause of osteomalacia is a vitamin D deficiency. Osteomalacia presents with generalized skeletal pain and pain in the hips, ribs, and feet. Paget's disease is a chronic bone disorder with no definitive cure. Osteomyelitis is a serious infection of the bone. Osteosarcoma is the most common type of primary bone cancer.
