i dont start with last..who am i.. haha
i mean after overhauling maself with BD charausia..
last anat become soft..

Lol.
I used only last anatomy and at times i used Richard Snell for the clinical stuffs (those boxes).
The lesson I learnt is this, in Med school, you don't actually need too many books... Just make very good use of the one you have. Last was my best friend when people were busy carrying massive books like Keith Moore et al, about.
I read last to the point that I lost count, I am talking about over 35 times. And most of the time, I didn't use atlast and it helped solidified my imaginative abilities. See, at that point... I knew that anatomy was in my blood, and I was not scared of anything, not even getting a distinction. Immediately I finished my anatomy exams, i knew that a distinction was imminent, and I didn't shake a bit.

The lesson is this. You can achieve anything when you commit yourself thoroughly to what you do.
My regret is that, my love for anatomy distracted me from giving much attention to other courses, but at the end. I was happy.

but i recommed

last anat & charausia , do spy Kmoore for reference somtimes...)

the thing is i read charausia at first then use last anatomy as summary..

finally use upper and below diapgram txtbk close to exam

Last anatomy as summary??
Are you kidding me??

Longest time bro. I'm almost there by God's grace. I'm preparing for my MB exam after which I'll proceed to clinicals when I pass by God's grace. How's school? How's studies?

I wish you the best in your MBBS exams.

Bro, to be honest with u.. Wen it comes to medicine.. U need to be xtra sensitive.. Choose a school u knw u'll have higher chances. I had 307 B2 A1 B3 B3 C4 am from enugu yet I never chose UNN.. Eventhough my aggregate ws 316 higher than last years which ws actually 311 I still went for unizik rather, which has a lower cutoff every year to be sure.
In essense, u need to gv BSU a 2nd taught. Buh if u decide its unn its still ok.. Just pray. U banking on ELD basis donst hold even water.

unn's cutoff last year for medicine was 295 not 311.

Wizydom144:
Don't underestimate those quez, these same quez sent most people out of the college bc they assumed It to be sounding more like an end of course assessment,
Here In my school, they expect you t0 write all that you know.... I mean all, including certain basic Anatomical physi0 terms

like in the 1st quez, u needed not to say just the renal aspect of the answer, the GIT hormonal remediation is required t00....
like the role of secretin and CCk, and partially m0tilin...giving detailed answers 0n how each 0f the hormones will affect the restoration of these Parameters as listed above...

S0 its not all about saying what u know in the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone-ADH system that will fetch you all the marks... U say all u know without deviating from the context of the question

interesting how you want to make us beleive those questions are standard 2nd MBBS questions. Maybe you should check what's obtainable in other schools.

Wizydom144:
Vomiting and Diarrhea leads to salt and Water loss: Discuss the hormonal Mechanisms involved in the restoration of these Parameters


On a Hot day, The Body Produces small concentrated Urine, While on a cold day, it produces Large Dilute Urine. Discuss the Mechanism involved to achieve this....

Some of the UNN 2mbbs questions for Dental and medical students,,,,,,,,,, Unn

This questions for 2nd mb? ? Are you kidding me?
It's rather too straight forward for an MBBS exams, sounds more like an end of course assessment to me.

First is just talking about the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone-ADH system.
2nd question wants you to talk about the counter-current mechanisms.

castrokiller:
docs in the house. i appreciate what u do here. i have a problem: i dont seem to concentrate i.e focus well. and i hate cofee. what do u guys think of brain enhancing drugs or any other medication that aids focusing or anything related. views and criticism are warmly welcomed.

I perfectly understand this feelings because I have been there too. You're not as bad as you think, it's just a feeling. All you need to do is to set a goal and try and work towards achieving it gradually, you don't need anything cognitive enhancers, all you need is renewer of mind. Don't follow the society or do things to please people, just devise a way of leading your life and you would be fine.

mr charleymed abeg carry Go jare. Who be that Witch doctor way talk say u no go be fetal surgeon?? E no day look BRAIN...so dr charley, have u started ur housemanship? or still in unijos

Good morning sir, thanks for your warm compliments. I'm still a student at the moment.

On the kidney, prolonged hypoperfusion which is a squeal of reduced blood pressure, will first result in a decrease in the amount of urine produced (oliguria) which is more like a compensatory mechanism aimed at fluid retention. If the hypotension persists, the initial oliguric phase now moves to anuria, where no urine is produced at all, the is also aimed at fluid conservation. Also note that, the kidney needs a reasonable amount of blood supply for its normal functions, and in protracted hypotension as this, this is drastically reduced. Then after a while, the nephrons begin to die (tubular necrosis), due to the fact that they don't get enough nutrients and oxygen .
Then when an appreciable number of nephrons have been lost (let's say 70%),the kidney loses its ability to conserve fluid, and the anuric phase in which no urine is produced now becomes a polyuric phase in which excessive amount of fluid is lost due to the inability of the renal to reabsorb fluid. Then the kidney fails...

The same thing happens to the liver and other vital organs, if the liver doesn't get enough oxygen and nutrient due hypoperfusion secondary to hypotension, there is a gradual reduction in its synthetic functions and other sequels.
But the effect on the liver is not as acute as that on the kidney, this is because unlike like the kidney that is perfused by just one artery, the renal artery. The blood supply to the liver is not restricted to a single vessel, and liver failure takes a more gradual process.

Relating hypertension to the renal and hepatic system, is basically the opposite of what I have been talking about. In hypertension, there's adequate perfusion of the kidneys and RAAS is not activated. The nervous system also plays a part to reduce the blood pressure to normal by reducing sympathetic discharge.
But protracted hypertension just as I explained for hypotension, has several damaging effects to all organ system, and especially the small blood vessels... Which could rupture due to excessive pressure.
And in specific conditions like portal hypertension, the function of the liver is drastically affected.


It all depends on what your interest is.
Thank you.

Millex,
Hypotension is simply a reduction in blood pressure, and since blood pressure is a product of cardiac out and total peripheral resistance, then the causes of hypotension are many, not just from acute blood loss. In hypotension the perfusion of vital organs like the kidneys and liver are reduced, because the TPR and CO are needed to maintain adequate blood flow.

The body sees hypotension as an anomaly, and hence one which must be correct. The first thing the body system does is to employ the sympathoadrenal system, this is due to a reduction in the amount of impulses sent to the medullary center from the carotid and aortic bodies , which it interprets as a decrease in blood pressure, hence it increases the amount of impulses in the sympathetic outflow to the heart, blood vessels and adrenal glands (to increase catecholamine secretion), in a bid to restore homeostasis. But if this fails to correct the blood pressure, then...

The renal system now comes to the rescue. Here, the macula densa of the JGA responds to basically three stimuli (hypovolaemia, hyponatremia and increased sympathetic activity), any of which is capable of activating the renin angiotensin aldosterone -ADH system via the production of renin by the juxtaglomerular cells. The activation of the RAAS will increase fluid retention, and TPR through the vasoconstrictive effect of angiotensin 11 on the blood vessels. But, if this mechanism fails to restore the blood pressure, for instance in a decompasated heart failure... That's when you now talk about the effects it would have, not just on the kidneys and liver but on other vital organs in the body.

RoastedCorn:
I'd disagree with you bro . . some schools have better medical facilities than the other,such school provides an enabling environment for the students making their reading less tasking and some schools also have more cadavers than the other . . theoretical knowledge and clinical practice differs from each other.

it's all about the student. I hated cadavers, but got a distinction in Anatomy likewise some other guys I know. Cadavers for instance are overrated, your Atlas can do the Magic. It's all about the student, the theoretical knowledge you talk about hasn't been overemphasized like many people think, you need the theoretical knowledge a lot, and you can acquire it by working hard on your own. Most guys that are good in theory, end up being better in practice and that's simply because... You can't give what you don't have.

Oogway:


Oga, seems you just enjoy seeking my attention. I have told you before to show me an article where I said I schooled in UI you still couldn't.
2ndly, there's nothing wrong in selling my Iphone 6 as I have an Iphone7 if you have a problem with that then what can I say.
I would also like to see where I said I sell slots for Plab or Usmle. I told u I have written USMLE done it and dusted it and u asked for my reg number and I told u what to do, something u are yet to.
Rather than tell lies all over nairaland you should rather be preparing for JAMB for admission you are yet to get. if u still in doubt I would refer you to past articles were you admitted to still being a JAMBITE.
As for the issue of Unical's accreditation for medicine, I would refer you to MDCN website to browse through the list of fully accredited universities for medicine. This would be the last time I will respond to any of your quotes as it is a total waste of time. unless ofcourse you show me proof of your above claims. have a nice day Sir

I don't like mincing words, but your comment about USMLE caught my attention. Please can shed more light on what you meant by, "done and dusted'?

hello medics in the house pls I intend writing jamb diz year Nd my school of choice is unijos pls any unijos medical student should pls reply ..... God bless

Yes I'm one.

Mrn Great minds I need an advice on this pls. Want to register for remidials programme against next year's jamb cos I had a low score in this year's jamb. Want to go for ABU zarie . State of origin Enugu, borne and grew in the north,finished my Sec school in the north.I want to apply at ABU as a northerner. My credentials all carries my state of origin as Enugu. How is this gonna affect me during the screening.....And admission process.Thanks

From my knowledge, ABU is very strict about the state of origin of a thing. It affected a friend of mine way back in 2010, though he's a fulani (core northerner), but wasn't accepted because he had dual state of origin (Niger and Gombe). He was screened out, and the admission forfeited. I advice that you wait for next jamb or better still enrol in another pre - degree programme in a school that's more flexible, because ABU only accept northerners in their remedial programme. You can try UNN, UNIZIK, OAU, UNILAG etc.
I wish you the best.

Jason555:
Thanks bro.. I'll try...
See now , mah school just called for screening to start 11th.. Nobody knows if it's gonna be written or whatever.. Dhat alone is enough to make me have sleepless nights la.. MBBS for Naija be like to enter heaven..

Very soon you will understand that the admission is the easiest part of it.

jargo89:
There's something obviously wrong with your view. You cant criticize someone's ignorance and still offer to make the person learn by calling him a fool. How have you made him wiser? If he feels he wants MBBS after BDS, it is within his legal rights to. Hell, I can decide to drop medicine for yoruba edu, its choice, not ignorance. And I think, its better for the nation when the 'knowledgeable' enlighten not criticize the 'ignorants'. Thanks.

Ok. Thanks for the correction. But I can't remember calling anybody a fool. #peace

OneTruePrince:

So it's possible?
I jst tire 4 Nigerians oo.. Sum1 asked a simple question.. D replies should be:
No, Yes or I don't know... I appreciate ur views.. Thanks bt pls still answer d questions

The question obviously doesn't have an answer. It's not all questions asked by people that one can confidently say YES or NO. At times you just have to make people sit down and do their homework, this is information age for crying out loud. Nobody is laughing at any body's ignorance here; how are you even sure that he doesn't know the answer already and decided to be fooling around. I really envisage a society where young people will be informed and enlightened, and the best way to go about it is to educate yourself by yourself.
Normally, I would have ignored the post, but just recently I was in a group where educated people were arguing seriously on the MBBS/BDS dichotomy. A fellow even went as far as saying outrightly that BDS graduates don't know any thing apart from the teeth. lol. Could you imagine such level of ignorance? And when I finally decided to clear the air, I discovered that his dogma can awaken a dead elephant. So, maybe the guy that asked that question is that type of person, maybe only trying to start up a stupid argument here . so how do you make him change? It's by making him learn the hard way.
It has been said several times on this page, that one should only go for what he has passion for. Then why bringing such thing up again? Sincerely, without any apology. That's the dumbest question i have seen. I stand to be corrected.

Drdonzeez:
Perhaps,Most persons believe only MBBS gives automatic better life.But you wouldn't blame some.Especially those blinded by ignorance.

Actually, people need to be educated in this country. I'm still wondering the need for an MBBS after BDS. it's annoying.

Genius101:
i quite agree with u.
if them pressurise jamb small now them go maintain buh maybe it would ve been best sha..4 example i got 263 last yr nd wrote unizik putme 4 pharm nd my result was invalid.it also affected a fwend with 286 buh d sch did nuffing abt it hence denying us buh if there was no putme we would b studying with our mates by now.. d point is it wont favour some people nd would favour some jst like putme does nt favour everyone

I can't believe you're still writing like this. Please learn to write properly, thank you.

jemmiee:
lol especially marriage, its a huge distraction lol. Ah feel for myself.

Lol. I feel your pains. Kpele. I believe everything will turn out fine for you.

davbravo:
it only applies to DE students that entered with a 1st degree n not those that entered with A'level and its equivalent

I cannot really say, because there is no easier way to differentiate the two groups, unless if you know them individually and you follow their academic performances. But speaking from experience, i noticed that the A levels guys do better, I know some of them personally. But I don't believe this subject of discourse has anything to do with IQ, but i think there are factors militating against the performances of the the degree holders. These include:Age, level of distractions (some are married while others are independent) and the ' I have done it before syndrome' etc.

jemmiee:
. wow wow thanks. That's very interesting ai must say, well, I'm very much interested in research using questionnaires, ai will look into this issue, because it have been a thing of concern to me. Though the reverse is the case in Unical medical school.

Nice. I wish you good luck on that.

jemmiee:
. I stand to be corrected. Though it will be very surprising if a graduate of anatomy fails second MB after detailed preparations.

I get what you are saying, but I think it's more of an assumption than a fact. From experience i have noticed that graduates (direct entry guys) deviate greatly from expected level of performance. It's actually easy to acertain this, because they thread behind everyone on the results sheet, having different matric numbers from other students. So one can easily check from the matric number one year lesser than his, to the last person on the list. That gives you the statistics of the DE geeks. The direct entry guys are mostly graduates the majored in one of the 3 BMS courses. But it's shockingly amazing, that when the in courses or even the main exams results are released, they end up performing poorly, even in the courses they majored. The reason for this, is yet to be ascertained and I think it's an interesting area of research. But what i just told you is no gossip neither an assumption, and it's currently happening in many schools including my school. But remember, i used the word"mostly"meaning that there few exceptions. But from records available to me, I'm yet to see or hear about any DE guy gunning a distinction even in the course he majored. Good morning and have a nice day.

jemmiee:
Trust me, with a first degree, first and second MB will be a walkover for u.

Actually I don't understand your statement above. Are you talking from experience or you're just saying what you think? Because from experience, i don't think that statement is true. So, do well not to mislead people. This is a public forum.

davidbolton234:
please,doctors,i need some pieces of advice frm u all,i chose med&surg in my 2015/2016 jamb in oau,i had 252 as my average score while d stipulated merit cut off mark was 287 though it was my first attempt bt was offered microbiology,i ave great passion to study medicine right frm my childhood and my uncle wants to assist me by saying i shuld study it in u.k after i had graduated in microbiology yet i intend to register for jamb while studying microbiology and apply for medicine,how can i go abt it?

Never put 100% trust on uncles. Your destiny is in your hands. I think you should get another jamb form and maybe this time, try another school. Doing same thing over and over is an act of insanity, try another school. Any school that's fully accredited by NUC and MDCN is very okay for you. In reality nobody actually gives a damn about your school, but you. So, stop wasting your time and grab that which you desire the most ASAP.

OneTruePrince:

AhAh bros y u so cooked up... Didn't u c ur friend milex no need 2 b angry na... Ar u d only 1 dat read it
D advice wuz 4 dose it was meant 4... Its clear u are a dull 1... U can't even control ur emotions... U just had to let it out did u... I will ignore u... D truth always hurts

Why can't you mind your business and stop derailing this beautiful thread. Isn't it obvious that the poo you shared initially made no sense to anyone. I'm still trying to understand the reason why you're pained this much. What ever reason anyone has for studying medicine is absolutely his/her business, you don't have any right to advice anybody.
just get a life, move on and stop making yourself appear more stupid than you are.

Hello house. I'm glad to see that this thread is still moving forward. I have also observed the unprecedented number of newbies and admission seekers on this thread, it's a thing of joy to see that the passion to save humanity with your intellect is still burning high in you all. In my position as someone that has been in your shoes before, I advice that you all stay put and remain resolute in your quest to move higher on the academic ladder. To the low JAMB scorers, remember that you are as good as the high JAMB scorers, prepare adequately for your post ume bearing in mind that there's an answer to all the questions that you are going to meet on that day, so a 100% is not an illusion but a possibility. Don't be discouraged, cast all your fears on the Lord because he cares for you, i wish you all God's speed and best that life has to offer.
For those still contemplating change of institution, from research, I think university of ibadan is best school to consider now, if and only if you have a 200 and above, you are as good as any other person, because the admission is based 100% on your post ume scores, no tribalism, no runs, no catchment area.....Though I'm not a student of that school, but all I have said are verifiable truth.
I wish you all the best.

Evening docs( both future and present) . Pls i will like to know bookshops in portharcourt that sell med books at a reduced price. Response is highly anticipated and appreciated.

You don't need those books bro, just get a good tablet and thank me later.
