PathologyThe newly formed collagen in the scar tissue is arranged differently compared to the organized collagen fibers in the unwounded skin, leading to a weaker structure. The 70-80% tensile strength is typically what is seen in well-healed sutured wounds. This remaining deficit is because scar tissue is less elastic and more prone to dehiscence (reopening) under tension compared to normal skin.

N-acetylcysteine (NAC) is the antidote for paracetamol toxicity. It works by replenishing glutathione stores in the liver, which neutralizes the toxic metabolite NAPQI.

Community DentistryFluoride prophylaxis after oral prophylactic procedures (like scaling or polishing) is done to help remineralize the enamel and replace any fluoride that might have been removed from the tooth surface during the cleaning process. The polishing can remove a small layer of fluoride-rich enamel, making the topical application necessary to restore protection.

NEETMDSThe lingual nerve provides sensation to the floor of the mouth and the tongue on that side. It runs very close to the surgical site for a lower third molar extraction. The inferior alveolar nerve also provides sensation to the teeth and chin, but damage to the lingual nerve specifically causes loss of sensation in the floor of the mouth.

BiochemistryVLDL is a lipoprotein particle synthesized in the liver and secreted into the bloodstream to transport endogenously synthesized triglycerides and cholesterol to peripheral tissues. The triglycerides in VLDL are derived from fatty acids synthesized in the liver, and the cholesterol is derived from both dietary sources and de novo synthesis in the liver. They are not usually linked covalently to apoproteins (Answer 1), nor do they primarily consist of phosphatidylcholine (Answer 2). While the types of lipids found in the diet (Answer 4) can influence the liver's synthesis of VLDL, the statement does not accurately describe the direct composition of VLDL.
