Explanation:

• First question: Cushing's syndrome is associated with a 'buffalo hump' (fat accumulation in the cervicodorsal region) due to excessive cortisol. Addison's disease is related to adrenal insufficiency (weight loss, hyperpigmentation). Myxedema (hypothyroidism - facial puffiness, fatigue). Acromegaly (excess growth hormone - enlarged hands/feet, facial features).
• Second question: Tympanosclerosis is characterized by dense white patches on the eardrum (scarring from inflammation). Otitis media is middle - ear inflammation (pain, fluid). Cholesteatoma is a cystic mass (may cause hearing loss, discharge). Otosclerosis is abnormal bone growth in the middle ear (conductive hearing loss).

Answer:

• First question: B. Cushing's syndrome
• Second question: A. tympanosclerosis
