Hi guys
I want to know how fast the calendar of Ebonyi State University MBBS program is
Would really appreciate genuine info.

6yrs and among other medical schools in Nigeria, they're among the fastest currently.
Can't believe that 2013 set are set to graduate early next year.

RectusAbdominis:
I am sure. All the schools in the North (except UniIlorin I think) accept two sittings.
There are many ways to screen out candidates, WAEC shouldn't be one of them.
Anyone can write Waec and easily get A1 parallel, but people find it difficult to pass JAMB and Post UTME. Have you asked why?
Because cheating is easier in waec and Neco.

Please say what you're sure of. I'm a student of EBSU. They don't accept two sittings. Be guided.

phrancis99:
To start reading Anatomy, which should I go for
Moore's or Chaurasia's

Since you're a beginner, go for the latter. Everything is outlined. It will really help you...even though I used the both.

1.
Introduction
My friend should not do so because the upper lip is included among the danger area of the face. A pimple pop there might cause an infection to spread via the facial vein to the brain.
Anatomical Basis
The danger area of the face is a triangular area in the centre of the face which is bounded externally by a line running from the angle of the mouth to the root of the nose. It is so called because in this area, the facial vein via the superior opthalmic veins, inferior ophthalmic veins and the pterygoid venous plexus communicates with the cavernous sinus and an infection in this area can get into the facial vein and then into the cavernous sinus.
Pathological Basis
An infection in the facial vein around the danger area of the face spreads to the cavernous sinus via venous communications.This causes inflammation of the cavernous sinus, a condition called cavernous sinus thrombophlebitis. This can lead to increased pressure in the cavernous sinus thus compressing brain structures and leading to brain damage.
2.a. Excess testosterone is converted to oestrogen which stimulates breast development.
b. Absence of 5-alpha reductase. Thus no DHT to inhibit development of female external genitals.
c. Androgens are insensitive thus wolfian duct cannot be differentiated.
3. Radial nerve
Brachial artery
Probably musculocutaneous nerve also

Well, you really did well in No. 1 question but you didn't tell us the main route the infection gets to the cavernous sinus.

the infection passes through the facial vein to the deep facial vein to the pterygoid plexus of vein to the emissary vein to the cavernous sinus.
The rest of your explanation is perfect about the danger area of the face.

Well done!!

Vicjay1:
For number 3 questions
Alot of things actually happen at the midshaft of the humerus.
So gunshot to the midshaft of humerus will affect
1. Median nerve and brachial artery because the Median nerve crosses the brachial artery anteromedially.
2. Radial nerve and Profunda brachial artery because they run in the spiral groove of the humerus at the midshaft
3. Brachialis and coracobrachialis have proximal and distal attachment respectively at the midshaft so their actions would be impelled.
Etc.

Satisfactory!!

Smartek:
I need help please

I am an Aspirant of medicine ,

I made 270 in Jamb and I want to go for a change of institutions because UNN cut off mark is always high

Between EBSU and ESUT, which school do you recommend for me.

I also learnt that ESUT students don't graduate on time , that it takes them 7 to 13 years before graduation.
Is it true ?

Pls help me Nlanders

Go to EBSU.

does the hamstring part of the adductor magnus satisfy the criteria to b grouped among the hamstring muscles

I don't tink so sir


boss thewhizkid
I hail

Anyway, I understand where you're heading to, different authors have different perspectives about the muscles. In fact, Keith Moore didn't even say anything on adductor magnus being a hamstring. Chauria emphasized that it's a part of the muscles...I do believe you've understood my point.

Thewhizzkid1:
List the basic features of the hamstring muscles.
List the values of all lung volumes you know.
What is d function of DNA ligase and topoisomerase in DNA replication?
List three areas where portocaval anastomosis occur.
Sorry all for the long hibernation of this thread.

1). The hamstring muscles include; semitendinosus, semimembranosus, the long head of biceps femoris and the ischial head of the adductor magnus.
Basic features: they all arise from the iscial tuberosity. They get inserted into one of the bones of leg (either tibia or fibula). They are supplied by the division of the sciatic nerve (L5, S1). They are extensors of hip joint and flexor of knee joint. n/b: the true hamstrings are the first two.

DNA ligase fill in those gaps created by okazaki fragments during replication of DNA.

Three areas where Porto cava anastomosis occurs: at the level of the umbilicus, at the anal canal and the terminal end of the oesophagus... it also occurs at the bare area of the liver.

I've forgotten the values of those lung volumes. Will check it.

thanks for reviving this thread again...

Good day Dr. lomaxx. I'm interested: ugohikem@gmail.com

Thanks in anticipation!

There's one thing stronger than all the armies in the whole world... That is, an IDEA WHOSE TIME HAS COME. Be careful to know your time. Don't Rush!
God cannot water what He has not planted. Wishing you a very promising May.

1). Which of the following nerves has a pseudoganglion
A) suprascapular nerve
B) axillary nerve
C) nerve to teres minor
D) nerve to serratus anterior

2). -------innervates the peripheral heart

3). Which part of deltoid is multipennate?

4). List the boundaries of scarpa's triangle

5). Mention two phosphoglycerides that are zwitterions at pH 7 and explain your answer

6). How does the structure of lipids determine their biological function?

7). Name the lipoprotein that is implicated in the type II hypercholesterolemia?

. What is the work of histamine during acute inflammation?

Your questions are from NEURO-ANATOMY @jason555

You'll need to go through the pages. Guess the link is there in one or two of them.
Are you in unizik?

ebsuguy:
The question is asking you to discuss the pathogenesis of polio viral infection and also the mechanism of formation of a specific immunity against a specific pathogen secondary to infection.
1.Musa was infected with the polio virus through the oral pharynx or respiratory tract.After viral replication in the oropharynx and small intestine(esp.within the lymphoid tissue),the virus spreads through the blood stream to the CNS.this it can also do by retrograde movement along the nerve axons.In the CNS,the virus preferentially replicate in the motor neuron located in the anterior horn of the spinal cord.This leads to the death of this cells which inturn leads to the paralysis of musa' muscles innervated by these neurons.
2.Abubakar was not paralysed because he received the salk(killed) or the sabin(life attenuated) vaccine which induced humoral antibodies production against the polio virus.During the epidemic,these antibodies neutralized the virus that entered the blood.hence,preventing them from causing CNS infection and disease.

Thank you so much. Remain blessed!

Two children Musa and Abubakar were born in a village in Kano state. The same week within two years of birth, Abubakar had several antipolio virus vaccination but Musa's parents were afraid because of superstitious believe and did not present Musa for immunization. Before their third birthday, polio epidermic occurred in the village affecting all the children. Musa became paralysed while Abubakar was not.
Discuss the principle in Musa's paralysis and sparing of Abubakar from paralysis.

There are mistakes their boss. Check Ebonyi State University(EBSU), their quota is 100 even from where you copied it. It's written boldly.
Thanks!!!

Thewhizzkid1:
Yes sir. You've confirmed.

Ok boss! Can you do as i said?

Thewhizzkid1:
Some federal(e.g UNIBEN) and virtually all state unis.

Hi, how was your day? Have i confirmed your request? If yes, please try to identify by sending a message, cos i received several requests last week.

Durentt:
i said ALL and totally mean all.
I hate eastern universities wit passion such evil hearted people from VC to Students

Then why demanding for another break down when your words have answered your question.
Change your mindset bro. It's an advice thou..

Durentt:
but dats da truth, u know. U can ask especially in medicine u'll either bribe or die at home

why would you say that all the univ in the east are all useless??

Durentt:
yea am igbo, but i dont like uni in the east, they are so useless and impartial. I prefer from the north

That was a big exaggeration. Fallacy of hasty generalization. Work on ur mindset.
Thanks...

Thewhizzkid1:
