Can an average stud survive med sch? Yes, u probably have a friend who can recall statements in ganong even in the clinicals and a friend who read the whole head and neck in three weeks and could answer all intricate questions, they are distinction candidates. As an average student, you can do well in med sch if you will shun all distractions, read hard with past questions.

is Gray anatomy good to pass anatomy on one sitting

Sure, U Mean d one for stud or that big one by susan stardstring et al?

Some Kings are born, while some are made. You can train yourself to be a genius.

Probably u don't know what Medical school is all about. It's more than being brilliant. I have seen a first class graduate of microbiology being shown the out of medical school. U must be committed to pass through the college or u will regret it. The girl u are talking about is one out of thousands if not millions. So don't talk about what u don't know.

I respect ur opinion tho, am also a medic in path pharm class who is acquainted with the rigour of med sch. Many later realise they were nt cut out for medicine. The girl I wrote abt is one of d few who proved the majority wrong.

OAU medical school year two result is brutal. May God console those that fail. medical school no be beans o

The same school some1 had 12 distinctions. No excuse for failure.

As a medical student, I will only advise an avg student to study medicine if he wants to spend major chunk of his life reading and scouting for past questions. To maintain his 50s in exam, he will have zero social life if he doesn't want to resit or repeat. If the top notch guys resit and sometimes repeat.

in medical school, the stuff you refuse to read will haunt you in next level

how will you get full MDCN licence? i will advise you to do residency instead

hi,please summarize what happens during development of T lymphocytes from the moment it enters the thymus. tried reading it from Hoffbrand

what actually happens is this:
thymus is a primary lymphoid organ where maturation of T lymphocytes take place. Remember that T cells come from their fore fathers or progenitors in bone marrow. Histologically, thymus has cortex and medulla. The maturation process is two stage called the positive selection stage and negative selection stage. T cells coming from bone marrow do not have T cell receptor, CD4 or CD8 ( cd4 is for helper t cell and cd8 is for cytotoxic ), now the main gist...
the big grammer I used, positive and negative selection, is to select the good guys for adaptive immunity army. In the outer cortex, there is production of TCR, i mean their receptors (they need the receptors for antigen specificity or let me say to recognise their enemies), To check if their TCR is functional, The T cells TCR are selected to Bind with antigen on a particular MHC or HLA class, if they bind properly, they passed the test (the positive selection )....
2. then, they are moved into the medullary compartment where they are tested with self antigens of the body, if they react, they are deleted because this type of T cells that react with self antigens (specific for body tissue) will cause autoimmune reaction (the negative selection ) those that do not react with self antigens are the correct guys that become helper T cell or cytotoxic T cell (based on the MHC class they bind).
in essence, the maturation in thymus is a clonal selection.
are u a new pathpharm student?

do you know how thiazide diuretics cause metabolic alkalosis?

Thewhizzkid1:
1. Lemme guess its extracellular edema. Extracellular edema means the fluid is leaving the cells to the ECF. Thus, the cells are dehydrated. This leads to secretion of aldosterone to try to stop the dehydration.

Good Sir, but can we look at num 1 in this perspective also, in edema, there is increased tissue fluid and blood volume reduces, there is kidney hypoperfusion and hence, renin is produced as tubuloglomerular feedback ensues, angiotensin 2 is produced via RAAS pathway, that act on the adrenal cortex to produce aldosterone. I Was asked this by prof fasanmade of Ui In Viva, was telling him hyperaldosteronism leadin 2 edema (apparently out of it) Until he asked abt the blood vol in edema (clue) and that triggered the Raas.
3. bitemporal hemianopia
4. also xylocaine, adrenalin a vasoconstrict the blood vessel for longer duratn lest it is completely absorbd.
how is Mb Prep? It Is test of Residual Knwledge and takes lot of effort to fail mb1.

Elizab:
hi,is there any whatsapp discussion group for pathology, haematology, microbiology, Chemical pathology and pharmacology.if there is please drop the number

Pls, Are U A New Path Pharm Medic? School?

NEW YEAR STUFFSTORMING
How does edema lead to increased aldosterone secretion? (i do nt mean the vice versa)
what do you undestand by circadian rhythm?

Pes13:
No wonder BDS students MB1 performance is always relatively lower than MBBS students.

Too much load in limited time.

Too bad, BDS exam is enough

Missing in the profile is that he led the team that removed the 6" nail from Bose's head during the military administration of Ike Nwosu in Oyo state.

pls tell me more, do u knw him?

I love prof. Shokunbi's profile.

ebsuguy:
You are eligible to take step one and 2ck after completing one clinical year.So you can write in 500l.

You mean I can write step 1 immediately after path pharm Mb? Sir, what about the financial cost and prep?

Kendzyma:
No.they will only test u based on the subjects u chose for jamb.

Same Kendzyma I chatted with on 2go some years back? pastorissy, u remember?

Welcome mastermind you get mind. Medicine is not for the chicken-hearted

How Is UCH sir?

*Smiles* Welcome To Med School

Is there anyone who ever read the Robins and contran pathologic basis of disease text back to back?

You Will Put a polythene bag on his face, he wil breathe in co2 to elicit acidosis, hence, calcium is displaced from protein.
[quote author=Drguzzykola post=62991778]Congrat bro..

hmm, this kind question sha,
lemme try..

patient develop alkalosis due to hypocalcemia,
first is how will I know he suffers from hypocalcemia in a bus,

1. patient start to develop signs and symptoms like flapping of hand(flexing of metacapophalangeal joint and d wrist joint , extension of interphalangeal joint)
2. inspiration during breath gives some sound @larygospasm
due to low calcium leading neurologycal defect
if hypocalcemia is taken care of , his PH goes back to normal and alkalosis is solved.


solving hypocalcemia

Causes...

1. Patient has hypoparathyroidism thus lacking P.T.Hormone making him unable to absorb dietary calcium in G.I .T, Bone
how to increase this( I cover face , I no know am as i never do pharmacology)
2. vitamin D is not longer manufactured coming from d skin d

Hmmn

THINGS I LEARNT FROM PRE-CLINICAL
I had mixed feelings when I saw my first MB result, it was good but I wanted a distinction in physiology and biochemistry (I had given up on anatomy) but ended with one in physiology. I realized in Exam hall that MB is done with residual knowledge of what you have learnt, you can only crash read to pass MB but not with high flying grade (more reason I gave up on anatomy). Pre clinical courses are not hard but bulky, so average students can survive medical school. Here are the lessons I have learnt:
1. KNOW YOURSELF
Medical school has rules and you must play by it, there are no general rules. To hit the nail on the head, you must know your status, are you above average or an average grade student. Don't deceive yourself, if you struggle to retain facts in your brain, you may need to re-strategize, you must reconsider (will videos help? tutorials?) but you sure need longer hours to study. You may need to change your game plan if you are failing your tests i.e friends, study group or even textbook!
2. IT IS A TEAM WORK
Lone rangers find it hard to survive med school. You must interact with mates. They may have past questions and you will surely bite your finger in regret if you walk alone. Friends have stuffs that will stick faster. Don't engage in carnal competiton, those who top the class must have being helped by interaction with colleagues.
3. BE SMART
This is my last point. I have discovered that lecturers are too lazy to set new questions, you must know the recurring questions and find correct answers. There are lot of stuffs to know, you must be wise to separate chaff from the wheat. You must also trust in God, favour is essential but God does not orchestrate our failures.

Brukx:
body heat is maintained by signaling the mitochondria to allow protons to run back along the gradient without producing ATP . How do infants carryout this uncoupling with the aid of brown adipose tissues

never read this part well, I know that brown fat have mitochondria, thermogenesis uncoupling mechanism.. elucidate

how will you treat a patient in a bus with alkalosis due to hypocalcemia when you far from hospital? a friend was asked in physiology distinction viva
passed my first mb, now path pharm, thank God

I don't like lectures, I only do if a lecturer is good and med sch lecturers reveal their que in class

Thewhizzkid1:
Preparation is going fine. By God's grace ,we'll all make it.

Same here, OOU. Amen o, I like interacting with stud frm oda schs, when is MB? Ours is oct 30, xpecting postponement tho.

All these stuffy ppl. ;DAll these stuffy ppl.
