Apologies for the delay.

The stomach is a muscular organ and distends with food. The stomach is contained within the abdominal cavity- potentially spanning the left upper abdomen, the mid abdomen and the umbilical area(emphasis on "potentially"). This distending pressure is distributed equitably to the abdominal cavity thus making your abdomen distended when your stomach is filled with food. With time, food is emptied off the stomach into the intestines, and life goes back to normal.

Degrees are good.... Going to school is good. But sadly, degrees doesn't make a good man/woman. It doesn't mean the relationship/marriage will be smooth. it's not a guarantee for bliss.

There is a difference between being educated and going to school. When you go to school, you come back with degrees and certificates. When you're educated(which could be achieved by going to school), you expand your creative, thinking and imaginative ability to situations and circumstances.

I'd rather have an educated partner than have a partner with a bag full of degrees.

MrsAwesome: C- musculocutaneous nerve.
Or antebrachial nerve...it passes behind the cephalic vein and divides opposite the elbow joint into a volar and dorsal branch. It originates from C5,6,7 of the lateral cord of brachial plexus , innervates muscles in the anterior (flexor) compartment of the arms and lateral surface of the forearm. The muscles are coracobrachialis, biceps brachii, brachialis,....
Damage to the nerve causes inability to flex and supinate the elbow joint, which if not treated causes weakening and wasting of the muscles of the arms.

Spot on.

You're correct.

"This are Armatem...."

"A man cannot be foolish in abundance unless he are get plenty wiseness" - Chief Zebrudaya in New Masquarade

I will summarize it in one sentence.

You have to be very understanding.

Alutacontinua has said it all. Na she sabi pass

Education doesn't guarantee money in life. Also, having money doesn't mean you have been well or poorly educated. Money and education are independent variables of each other. We have been poorly and deficiently oriented that we go to school so we can have a job and get money. For some lucky few, it works. But that wasn't the essence of having education.

The essence of being educated is so you can develop your mental capacity to a superlative point where you scavenge your potent brainstorming strength and ultimately invest it in the creative capacity you've been able to develop - in a bid to solving the unending problems of mankind. No man has ever solved a problem and remained poor.


Besides, life is a multifactorial spectrum of variables - there is no single rule or principle to striking a perfect shot. Life holds no guarantees. But if you ask me- its good to be educated. More so, it's better to have a streak of excellence.

Why should anyone be surprised?

Sanchez01: Lomaxx I sincerely doubt it. It is mission Impossible. And for those abusing the word 'friendzone', you need to understand that you cannot zone someone you've once shared some special kind of bond with. Keeping exes as besties are somewhat impossible. Such most end with some 'friends with benefits, getting jealous as if something true is happening between you two, desiring sickly attention all over again and bonded to the person emotionally. It is a time bomb waiting to explode if one ventures it. It is however normal if both stay as friends, just friends and not besties. It's a complicated mess if you ask me.

You're right. I didnt notice the "best friend" part earlier on.

I don't do best friends so....

kcsamuel: good evening docs, hop al doin gud?? pls is it advisable for som1 @ age 22 to apply for medicine...witout any ist degree yet...

When it comes to the issue of what someone or anyone should decide for his/her life, I'm usually not of much help. I believe that when it comes to goals and achievement, there is a common denominator - choice. Irrespective of how old you are, or how young you are- what's important is that you make a choice....and stand by it to the very end. Every choice you make is an opportunity cost to other seeming better choices. So if you're 22 and you want to study medicine, realize that you don't just need to apply- you need to be admitted. And you don't just need to be admitted, you need to graduate. So it's entirely up to you.

If you feel age is not on your side, and you don't want to gamble, thus having a safe landing - it's still up to you. But if you ask me- you miss 100% of the shots you don't take.

It's possible. I've done it countless times. Just friendzone them.

Omomehn: Ok this is some serious stuff. I literally had sex
allniight about 6months ago. The next day i went
for football training and in the course of it, i felt a
sudden sharp pain around my waist. It was so bad

working out on daily basis doing sit ups and push
ups on bare floors. I could do sit ups 3 times
daily. Bt i ve quit working out out of fear. Please
help me with ur suggestions on how to treat. its specifically on the left side of my waist. it becomes severe after bending down for some minutes. thanks doc

You could benefit from NSAIDS e.g Ibuprofen. Don't stop physical activity totally - mild stretching could help.

If Ibuprofen doesn't help, you could consult your physician.

IJEOMA7512: [/quote]Who did this HSG?

A radiologist?

I'll interprete it from what I've seen:


[quote author=IJEOMA7512]pls can somebody explain this X-Ray for me? The uterine cavity opacified and appeared bulky but no filling defect seen. The right tube opacified and showed a lot of coiling and beading with possible scanty reflux of contrast into the pelvic cavity. The left tube did not opacify. Ozing of contrast from the isthmus of the left tube into the palvic cavity noted. wht is my chance of conception based on this result

A HSG is a hysterosalpinogram which is an Xray of the uterus and fallopian tube. Normally a contrast is injected into the uterus from belowand if the tubes are open, it passes through them appearing opacified and spills into the peritoneal cavity and is seen on the film.

The report suggests that the inside of your uterus - referred to as the cavity is normal.

Right tube is opacified means that it may not be blocked. The scanty reflux back into the pelvic cavity means some of the contrast couldn't go through. However the beaded appearance is suggestive of tubal tuberculosis. However, some normal tubes appear beaded on HSG. A important information left out here is whether there was peritoneal spill or not.

Left tube is not opacified means dye didn't enter the tube suggesting that it may be blocked hence reflux back into the pelvic cavity at the isthmus. This may suggest an isthmal occlusion. It can also suggest a spasm in the isthmus region - meaning the tubes may be normal. Also, there's no information on peritoneal spill. So it's inconclusive.

Conclusion: Looks like your right tube is okay- except for a suspected tubal TB(which needs treatment). There's a suspicion of procedural tubal spasm on the left side- might be a blockage. Only a diagnostic laparoscopy can tell.

Only one tube is needed for conception. Discuss with your doctor about the your result. HSG is not always 100% accurate but from the report that's what it looks like. Good luck to you.

Lagusta: i think its the american board of osteopathy... Or something...

I think there is another medical board call chiropractic medicine

Anything to practise in obodo oyibo

alutacontinua: america prolly has another board exam that you dunno about

American BOard of Traditional Medicine Practitioners ?

alutacontinua: You know when I read his first sentence, I was gonna pm him already.
but by the time I finished reading the paragraph, I decided to save myself the stress

Since when did usmle have theory?

alutacontinua: step 3 has 2 parts?
or step 2?
your post is very confusing.
you passed all of them but failed CS (I'm guessing that's the clinical part)
explain further, biko

Haha...

I doubt if its the same usmle I know.
Let's give him the benefit of doubt.

Besides, most people write Step 3 in their first year of residency.

But then....

Profcamsey: thanks. Rough road? I do think its so easy for medics, they dont do semestal exams. Go do Bsc. Biochemistry, u go hear WEEN!

It could be easy both ways - or difficult too. Depends on who is doing it and what he/she hopes to achieve.

But then....

The taste of the ewedu is in the eating

Thewhizzkid1: Which company(ies) can give u a scholarship while u're a beneficiary of another scholarship? Pls reply ASAP..Thanks..

Apply for all of them in the year you have none of them- you are not a beneficiary of any at the time of application. Anyone that says you should notify them if you have another award, you do accordingly. It's purely discretionary.

Johnfavour: Hello, docs. Pls how much does an intern earn per month. We are arguing abt it over here.

Btw 150 to 180k. Some places go up to 200k.
Depends on where you are.

Thewhizzkid1: Please what surgical procedures do doctors with the Primary MBBS(doctors of any specialty) do? Can they handle an accident victim? Also, what do pathologists do? Please replies are needed asap...Thanks.

Non-specialist doctors can do a number of minor procedures - the spectrum which depends on the know-how of the doctor involved. You learn to do procedures by first observing then assisting then performing under supervision -until you can do it on your own. There are however complex procedures. The degree of complexity of a procedure is directly proportional to the degree of specialization needed to do it.

For example, a non-specialist can excise a lump with excellent basic surgical skills/knowledge but cannot and can never do a cardiac catheterization. That's for the cardiologist.

Accident victims can be handled by non-specialists. The outcome of that accident will determine if a specialist would be needed of not . I'll give an example.

Tom and his friend Sam were returning from a party. They had a good dose of alcohol at the party. On their way back, Tom drove the car while Sam was in the passenger seat. Sam had his seatbelt on, Tom didn't. There were airbags in the car. Tom, driving at 140km/hr collided with another car coming in the opposite direction driving at 160km/hr. Due to the impact, Tom hit his head, had a deep laceration on his left arm,had multiple fractures on both femurs and lost consciousness. Sam, on the other hand, had only scalp lacerations.

A non-specialist can manage Sam effectively, if there are no added findings. To manage Tom, you'll need a neurosurgeon, (to manage sequelae of head trauma) an orthopedic surgeon(For the fractures) and most likely a cardiothoracic surgeon(for vascular repair if the deep laceration damaged a vessel).

Pathologists are specialists who are concerned with the diagnosis of disease by examining the body part concerned whether grossly(with their naked eyes) or microscopically.
