TONYE001: Maybe the hypothalamus and the pituitary share EQUAL endocrine significance since none can do without the other. Our literature keep declaring the pituitary as the Master Gland ignoring the fact that it soars as carried by the "hypothalamic wind". Just thinking beyond what the books say... What's your take on this?The hypothalamus is not the master endocrine gland. The pituitary gland is. I wouldn't deny the supposed supremacy of the hypothalamus over it's popular secretion of releasing and inhibiting factors. The books has it all over. Every single endocrine gland owes it's direct allegiance of regulation to the pituitary gland. It is the rate limiting step in the endocrine system. It is the "Factor X of the clotting pathway" in the endocrine system. Why? No matter how many CRH or TRH or GHrH secreted by the hypothalamus, it has no direct end-tissue effect on the endocrine glands(except the pituitary). Does master of one, mean master of all? It is rather the pituitary hormones that affects all the end endocrine tissues. So it's the master of endocrine glands. I would have typed all the above comfortably and gone to sleep. But my knowledge of negative feedback regulation will haunt me to my dreams. The hypothalamus is the master of the master gland But think about this..what makes a gland a true master?? Is it being a master of one? Or a master of all? 3 Likes |

TONYE001: @ Endocrine PhysiologyWhat's the premise of the argument? That pituitary gland is not the master gland ? |

alutacontinua: Guys, it's time to start preparing for USMLE oo....i gotta write that exam next year by his grace!You start by starting Sooooooooooo many things in my head.....should I start with the organ-system approach or subject approach?Organ-System approach is better, in my opinion. I've taken a look at the usmle content outline. Subject approach would be cumbersome. Should I just start with videos or textbooks? Should i buy hard copy textbooks or keep using my soft copies? I don't even know where to start fromI used to have USMLE dreams during my 100L days. I know some few folks that have taken the exam. I endorse BRS Anatomy, BRS Physiology and BRS Biochemistry. I endorse "Goljan Notes on Pathology" for pathology. There's general and systemic. Gives you what you need without too much detail. I'll endorse BRS Pharmacology. And finally Clinical Microbiology Made Ridiculously Simple for Micro. I've used all these books for Nigerian stuff. They're good usmle material...I accumulated all of them. Plus I've used them too. You have a year till the exam so you can add backbone to them with standard books(if need be). Join USMLE forums. You'd get first hand experience from those folks + materials you need most so you won't spend too much. ....there are just soooooooooooooooooooooo many things to readQuestion banks are important. One of my folks used USMLE World , and Kaptest. He had 256/99. Marry the Qbanks wth ur study session. Pay a visit to the doctors thread in the career section. Plenty stuff from dr beneli et al on USMLE. and I cannot afford to fail or 'just pass'...I gotta pass well!My sunshine, you can't fail. Plenty luck for next year. Somebody should please tell me it would be fine!It would be. Certainly. Meanwhile, I should fix dinner for us later on today.  Do well to stop by in your red silk low-cut gown. After then, we'd have some post-dinner rendezvous. Remember the last time ?  2 Likes |

Saeed348: Question in an exam..DefineDefinition: Love is defined as a state of emotional allure characterised by acute to chronic feelings of affection for the opposite or same gender. Aetiology The cause of love is unknown. However, different studies have linked phenotypic features like financial ability, sweet voice, pretty face, firm mammaries, protuding gluteus, smooth hands, nice smell and [s] ability to talk your way into her pants [/s] Epidemiology Love occurs worldwide. Widespread incidence across all continents with no geographic predisposition. It is prevalent in both urban and rural areas. Occurs in all ages and sex - but higher incidence between 12 and 48 years. Occurs in male and females equally with no genetic predisposition. However, males have a higher rate of progression than females. High risk population are students Pathophysiology The aetiopathogenetic pathway of love starts from a visual impulse detected by the eye which forms an image of the female on the retina. This leads to widespread activation of the autonomic nervous system. Parasympathetic activation leads to a transient decrease in heart rate, drooling, and an Subsequent activation of the sympathetic nervous system leads to increased heart rate, sweaty palms and bladder wall relaxation and increased glucose availability via gluconeogenesis and glycogenolysis. Muscles now acquire energy via ATP to move towards the direction of stimilus. Hello's are said, interest is declared and phone numbers are exchanged which will lead to a date and subsequent strategy for Clinical features Transient tarchycardia, sweaty palms, urinary incontinence, drooling, itchy palms, priapism Diagnosis Love is a clinical diagnosis. Treatment It is a self-limiting disease. Patient is advised to allow the disease to run it's full course. No definitive treatment.Prognosis Positive prognostic factors are diverse for both gender. For males, best prognostic markers are : money, money, money. Temporary but good prognostic markers with sweet mouth, good lovemaking skills and caring heart For females: best prognosis markers with good IQ,good sense of humour, beauty, protruding but appropriate gluteus, heavenly mammaries Poor prognosis for females are : flat pectoral region, flat gluteus, hyperactive mouth and poor IQ. 9 Likes |
| Education › Re: ASUU Strike by lomaxx: 8:09am On Sep 08, 2013 |
@OP, you have spoken well. ASUU is not wrong to embark of a strike action to have their 2009 FG-mediated agreement met. We the students are in total support of this action. However, the negative feedback effect is on us. We are unfortunately feeling the brunt of this bold step. At the helm of the blame is the Federal Government, famously led by the slow poke As much as we love ASUU's bold step; and as much as we hate the accompanying stagnation in our academics, we should be wary of any step that would engender a mass action. Having experienced so many Student-Mass-Action-Turn-Bloody in Nigeria, with consequent loss of lives and physical abilities; either we edge on the struggle(fully aware of unbecoming consequences) , or bat our lids at the warring parties. The elephant and the tiger do not go hunting on the same pasture. |

vicksbaba: @1) Notice the age of the patient. 4 months old baby. Also , notice the onset of death. Sudden death. Notice the clinical history. The baby was in an apparently normal state of health. Notice the failure of autopsy to show what caused the death. What then could it be? 2) An infection of the meninges would show purulent exudate on autopsy (assuming it's bacterial) and our patient would have had a running temperature. 3) A congenital anomaly will usually run a chronic course, if the baby survives in utero. Our patient had an acute onset. The patient was normal remember? So rule out congenital. 4) Sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS) is defined as the sudden death of an infant younger than 1 year that remains unexplained after a thorough case investigation, including the performance of complete autopsy, examination of the scene of death, and review of the clinical history. The underlying pathophysiology is a cardiorespiratory mechanism. It is a diagnosis of exclusion. 1 Like |
