wazzidon: Hi, am a 3rd year Medical student of UNN.

nice to hear frm u. Pls I nid ur contakt. I av a lot to ask academicaly

lomaxx: Q: As a doctor, why would you place a patient recently diagnosed of Tuberculosis ( and taking Isoniazid, Rifampicin, Ethambutol, Pyrazinamide) on Pyridoxine concurrently?

God! I am about to fall my hand today..... anyway if I fail it. ....I'll learn. it's all part of the learning process.... .
the only thing I can think of is Isoniazid....they said it can lead to some form of peripheral Neuropathy.....


last 4months Our DMEd lecturer said Isoniazid fights with (sorry competes) pyridoxine..... because the dude is jealous that pyridoxine when reduced to a coenzyme metabolizes many substances... carbohydrates (lol... did you notice that carbohydrate is like carbon inside water?..... ), proteins.....even brain amines(scary! ) so isoniazid will sha try to inhibit the action of pyridoxine....thus no more side effect!.... I know dat Is a very lame way to answer a medical question...... ★<covers face.... just tell me I am wrong >★

Correct. Most TB patients on Isoniazid therapy will come down with peripheral neuropathy secondary to pyridoxine deficiency.

I owe you one shot of Goskolomycin.

Ask charleymed

I can assure you he will tell you everything from the pharmacokinetics, to the pharmacology of that simple concoction 'drug' .

lomaxx:

At this level, I should be able to differentiate between Broca's aphasia and Wernicke's aphasia . Xmas bonanza indeed.

Ans: Wernicke's Area

Wernicke's Area is very correct. Thumps up

lomaxx:

Depressed fracture to frontal bone of the Professor's skull bone caused traumatic neuronal injury in the frontal lobe of the cerebral cortex (which is the seat of all personality, judgement, impulse control, and cognitive ability ).

Charleymed is yet to tell us if the professor was able to perform sexua.l functions with a damaged frontal lobe

From history, destruction of the prefrontal cortex does not cause a marked loss of intelligence, but it does result in an individual losing initiative and drive, and often the patient no longer conforms to accepted modes of social behaviour. So about your question, i think his sexual attitudes have to be affected since he is socially inept. But one thing i know is that his sexual urge might not be affected, since his overall intelligence is'nt groosly affected. Please correct me if am wrong. Btw, your answer to the question is very correct. Kudos.

lol. Goskolomycin is just like any other antibiotics but the only difference is that it intoxicates.

The thread title was changed?

lomaxx:



There is a difference between facts and opinion. If he claimed to state facts, you would then have been very justified to step in and make the corrections.

But he gave HIS OPINION....which he is very entitled to- whether it is myopic, hypermetropic or in between. . We are in a public forum and people should be free to air their opinions and experiences - no matter how averse it is to our interests.

And most importantly, we should learn to respect them not because they are true/false, but because they are people's opinions- and they may help someone make some life changing decisions.

I have however noticed that this place is not the best to give your opinion- especially as it regards opportunities between health-related fields. I have long resigned from such effort as I want to be the last person to give someone sleepless nights over an opinion.

u deserve a big brolier chick for this post. Good one.
Radiography is hot cake now, truth but the guy over exaggerated his points.

Damn right bro.. 100lvl docs like we.. When we get there we will definitely cross. Who knows, we might be better!!

Predecessors, please be carrying out exercises that will also help freshers like us..

Stuffs like. All about medical school, Best way to grab those huge books, what to take serious and what to neglect etc.

I get what you mean. We've come a long way from page1 and we've shared some of those stuff. If you have the patience you can go over the pages.

Meanwhile, what you see now( the questions, discussion ish), is a means to keep the thread alive, derive some fire and add some "ginger" to the area.

If you have specific questions/concerns, we don't mind going over it again.

For the ones you've mentioned above, it will be profitable to note that medical training is a stepwise process....stepwise but very slippery. There are little chances to correct mistakes when made- so you must try as much as possible to take everything serious. Everything should be important to you.

While meditating in my bathroom this morning, I discovered that the best students I've come across were ALWAYS INVOLVED in the purpose of their schoolwork. They have little room to discriminate between choices when their books are involved. They attend 99.9% lectures, practicals, ward rounds, seminars. They hold stellar records for being attentive in class- copy their notes and maintain a healthy study routine.

I've also had to chance to relate with folks from other schools and I ask about their "distinction students". The story never slides from the picture I've painted above. They're 100% serious folks. No time for unserious gambling of time with frivolous activities. They mean business all the time.

Are all these necessary? I can't say(it's personal to you). But if you have to pass through med school, do it once. And if you have the chance to do it once, do it well. Excellently, if possible.

Once again, goodluck on your admission. You'll get there

charleymed: not histopathology..... I mean histology

Oh!

I'm so high on Pathology and Pharm right now. Histology can rest - I don pass am, I don pass


However,t hey're rare stuff. Only place one would find it in Pathology(as a student) is Genetics. And probably Metabolic diseases in Chemical pathology.

But they're not the norm. No examiner will kill you if you don't know(I guess).
