21:23:35 [zeda] c/p of Arteriosclerosis?

21:23:36 [sanya] zeda lead poisoning causes microcytic anemia the cause of basophilic stipling is lead denatures the enzyme ribonuclease and it is the fragmented ribosomes that cause it

21:35:17 [quizme2005] sanya> sorry i was just asking

21:35:22 [jwls29] they compete for the same receptor

21:35:38 [zeda] yes

21:35:40 [sanya] that's Ok!

21:36:15 [jwls29] what type of nephropathy is seen in heroin abus?

21:36:18 [jwls29] abuse

21:36:30 [quizme2005] focal

21:36:39 [zeda] focal GN

21:36:40 [sanya] focal glomerular sclerosis

21:36:50 [jwls29] yup

21:36:52 [Step_1] focal segmental glomerulosclerosis

21:37:13 [sanya] what do you give as antidote

21:37:13 [jwls29] i've repeated renal a few times...hard for it to stick

21:37:27 [jwls29] for heroin?

21:37:35 [jwls29] nalaxone

21:37:36 [quizme2005] more herion?

21:37:39 [crusher] naloxone

21:37:49 [zeda] naloxone

21:37:50 [quizme2005] oh

21:37:52 [Step_1] naloxone

21:37:57 [sanya] yes

21:38:05 [zeda] an opiate antagonist

21:38:14 [ayouh] naloxone or heroin ?

21:38:16 [sanya] how does cyanide posisinig work

21:38:22 gurryaj enters this room

21:38:29 [sanya] sorrry poisoning

21:38:43 [jwls29] it inhibits complex IIII in the ETC

21:39:27 [jwls29] complex IIII=mitochondrial cytochrome oxidase

21:39:36 [GABA] inactivation of cytochrome oxidase

21:39:40 [zeda] Which one is stronger predictor of cvs events........LDL or C-reactive protein and why?

21:39:44 [Step_1] a real ? described a teen with history of heroin abuse who presents with dialated pupils, tachycardia, rapid breathing. asked what would worsen symptoms? choices were things like opiods, naloxone, and a couple of others. What do you think?

21:40:04 [crusher] inhibit III of cytocrome oxidase

21:40:15 [sanya] naloxone

21:40:40 [sanya] because he is in withdrawal and it will make it worse

21:40:55 [jwls29] why naloxone? Naloxone is the angagonist

21:41:13 [Step_1] it sounded like he was going through opiod withdrawal, so i think that an opiod antagonist like naloxone would make the withdrawal symptoms worse.

21:41:17 [jwls29] i can't spell today...the antagonist, the antidote

21:41:56 [Step_1] i hope that was right??

21:42:02 [sanya] yes but the case here is not overdose of heroin it is withdrawal and you do not give naloxone for withdrawal

21:42:15 [jwls29] ok

21:42:29 [sanya] I think I'm pretty sure about this

21:42:41 [quizme2005] jwls herion causes parasymph signs... so giving naloxone causes symph signs (but he already has symph signs from withdrawal)

21:43:31 [jwls29] i wasn't really thinking about the sxs. I was thinking about it more in the terms of he was intoxicated and the antidote is naloxone. you guys are right

21:44:16 [sanya] A pt comes with severe chest pain to the ER you think it is an MI and he just came after attending a party and you see aperforated nasal septum what do you rule out?

21:44:32 [jwls29] cocaine use

21:44:34 [quizme2005] cocaine

21:44:38 [quizme2005]

21:44:43 [zeda] cocaine

21:44:49 [Step_1] cocaine

21:44:59 [sanya] yessssssssss!

21:45:24 [quizme2005] can anyone tell my why dialated cardiomyopathy is there too?

21:46:02 [sanya] could be due to the toxins????

21:46:11 [quizme2005] im not sure

21:46:13 [zeda] looks like nobody is ready to move on to next topic?

21:46:26 [zeda] ready for vascular patho?

21:46:30 [ayouh] what is the next topic ?

21:46:34 [jwls29] yup

21:46:39 [ayouh] yeah..

21:46:56 [sanya] silicosis has increased incidence of which infection

21:47:12 [zeda] which one is stronger predictor for cardio-vascu. events......LDL or c-reactive prot. and why?

21:47:14 [sanya] OK lets move

21:47:29 [quizme2005] RA?

21:47:40 [quizme2005] CRP zeda?

21:47:47 [GABA] crp

21:47:58 [jwls29] crp

21:48:03 [quizme2005] sanya is it RA?

21:48:17 [sanya] no its tuberculosis

21:48:31 [sanya] its there in k a p notes

21:48:40 [quizme2005] oh

21:49:01 [jwls29] crp is increased in pts with inflammatory plaques

21:49:02 [quizme2005] i just remember silicosis + RA = caplan

21:49:15 [zeda] Serum C-reactive prot. is increased in pt. with inflamm. plaques which rutures and produce vess. thrombosis....leads to MI.sO,C-reactive prot. is stronger predictor than LDL

21:49:21 [sanya] OK

21:49:31 [jwls29] plaques rupture and produce vessl thrombosis which leads to AM

21:49:36 [jwls29] I

21:49:41 [jwls29] thanks zeda

21:49:48 [zeda] ya

21:50:05 [quizme2005] zeda> thanks man

21:55:55 [zeda] what is the role of Sodium in hypertension?

21:56:39 [crusher] it inc HTN cos it cause na/h20 retension

21:56:42 [sanya] increase in plasma volume because it retains water?

21:56:45 [GABA] volume increase

21:57:28 [zeda] ya.....excess Na enters in arterioles sm. ms cells and open Ca channels

21:57:45 [zeda] ng vasoconstriction( inc. diastolic BP)

21:58:25 [sanya] good one

21:58:34 [crusher] if a person hponaterimic what will you give

21:58:40 [zeda] thanks

21:59:09 [quizme2005] dextrose?

21:59:16 [ayouh] glucose and k ?

21:59:22 [ayouh] sorry dextrose

21:59:43 [Step_1] normal saline

21:59:45 [sanya] isotonic saline

21:59:51 [jwls29] agree with step 1

21:59:56 [zeda] saline

22:00:18 [crusher] what do u give a person first in shock cos of h,rrage and why

22:00:20 [ayouh] why saline ?

22:00:38 [quizme2005] crusher whats the answer

22:00:40 [sanya] dextran

22:00:41 [Step_1] never correct hyponatremia rapidly, because you many cause brainstem damage (central pontine myelinosis).

22:00:55 [sanya] because it expands the vascular compartment

22:01:11 [ayouh] oh...

22:01:17 [ayouh] r u sure ?

22:01:29 [crusher] yes always give isotonic saline to replace vol depletion than hyponatrmic sol or .5 nacl

22:01:33 [GABA] cristaloids

22:01:33 [quizme2005] ok now im scared i dont know this

22:01:47 [GABA] them coloids

22:01:55 [jwls29] for person in shock you give ringer's lactate

22:02:35 [crusher] why do we give dextrose in hyponatrimic pat

22:02:51 Pluto enters this room

22:02:51 [sanya] ringer lactate and isotonic or normal salina are all same i gues jwls

22:02:53 [Step_1] my source is crush step 2 pg 10 says give "normal saline is better choice 99 times out of 100 for board purposes"

22:03:05 sunmoon enters this room

22:03:19 [quizme2005] hey step1 do we have to know this?

22:03:21 [ayouh] 99 is good for me..thanks..

22:03:24 [jwls29] gol jan always says to just give them what they are missing

22:03:42 [jwls29] if pt is hyponatremic you give saline

22:03:53 [crusher] that is right but after giving normal saline

22:03:57 [ayouh] what kind of saline though ?

22:04:00 [jwls29] that stuff is more step 2 though

22:04:01 [Pluto] hi

22:04:20 [zeda] distribution of Temporal arteritis?

22:04:23 [sanya] crusher what about the shock Q

22:04:26 [crusher] why do we give dextrose in hyponatrimic pat

22:04:33 [ayouh] let us stick to step 1 plz...already confused with step 1 stuff...

22:04:33 [zeda] hi pluto

22:04:49 [Step_1] i think you might need to know the central pontine myelinosis risk, but not the actual saline content. just that you shouldn't replace sodium too quickly

22:04:52 [zeda] ok

22:04:57 [crusher] for shock Q,,always isotonic saline or .9 nacl

22:05:02 [jwls29] agree with step

22:05:12 [quizme2005] im too confused now so see ya ppl ill be back much more prepared sorry

22:05:26 [jwls29] don't leave quiz

22:05:29 [quizme2005] bye

22:05:35 [quizme2005] im too confused

22:05:35 [sanya] we don't give dextrose we give N saline or isotonic saloine or Rlactate which is agin .9%saline

22:05:35 [zeda] thans step 1 ....nice info

22:05:59 [zeda] don't go quiz

22:06:04 [Step_1] quiz, dont be discouraged...that was a tough one. we can all learn from each other

22:06:04 [jwls29] it's ok...we should get back to vascular path

22:06:14 [zeda] stay....we have long road to go

22:06:30 [quizme2005] ok..

22:06:46 [zeda] ok..my Q....

22:06:49 [ayouh] when is hep b antigen +ve ?

22:06:56 [jwls29] good

22:06:58 [zeda] Distribution of Temporal Arteritis?

22:07:04 [quizme2005] Step_1> thanks ur right

22:07:10 [crusher] dextrose cantain glucose which is co transported with Na ,so its imp to give

22:07:12 [sanya] Poly arteitis nodosa

22:07:24 [ayouh] temporal artery, facial..

22:07:26 [GABA] after hep b vacc

22:07:48 [ayouh] yeah, and hepatitis b too !!!

22:07:56 [zeda] and ophthalmic

22:08:14 [sanya] Oh i thought you were asking vas path

22:08:14 [quizme2005] temporal arteritis know high ESR

22:08:25 [zeda] aortic arch...giant cell aortitis is uncommon

22:08:44 [jwls29] isn't the antigen positive in early phase of acute infection and chronic hbv?

22:08:48 [sanya] takayasu's

22:08:52 [ayouh] Dx biopsy, tX cortisones

22:08:52 [quizme2005] and predis. to blind

22:08:59 [zeda] ?

22:09:27 [jwls29] ayouh asked a question

22:09:32 [zeda] Taka.....pulseless dis

22:09:35 [jwls29] and i think i got confused

22:09:40 [ayouh] yes, - in immune by vaccicne

22:09:50 [crusher] early id surface antigen and e antigen pos

22:09:56 [jwls29] right

22:10:05 [zeda] loss of pulse in upper extre.

22:10:10 [Step_1] treatment for temp arteritis is corticosteroids....this is very high yield because you can prevent blindness if given within a certain time

22:10:11 [jwls29] they only thing positive in immunization in the anti HBS

22:10:30 [zeda] ya

22:10:36 [jwls29] ok

22:10:48 [crusher] also in gtemp arte ESR is inc imp for Dx

22:10:57 [sanya] ahich vasculitis is steroids contraindicated

22:11:05 [zeda] pathol. feature in Tempo. arteritis?

22:11:08 [jwls29] we always give steroids before biopsy just in case

22:11:35 [Step_1] takyasu....pulseless....mneumonic is "cant taka you pulse"

22:11:54 [ayouh] granulomatous vasculitis ?

22:12:06 [quizme2005] ty step

22:12:06 [zeda] multinucleated giant cells and fragmentation of internal elastic lamina

22:12:36 [sanya] yes takayasu's cortico streoids contraind

22:12:39 [zeda] seg. granulomatous vasculitis

22:13:03 [zeda] and....intimal fibrosis with lumenal narrowing

22:13:19 [Step_1]>[quizme2005] your welcome....mnemonics got me through basic sciences

22:13:39 [quizme2005]

22:13:44 [sanya] in temporal arteritis which is the screening test

22:14:03 [Step_1] ESR

22:14:15 [jwls29] agree with step

22:14:16 [zeda] what is the difference bet Raynaud's dis and Raynaud's phenomenon?

22:14:26 [quizme2005] Step_1> do u think finishing path first helps?

22:14:36 [sanya] yep

22:15:27 [sanya] zeda screening is ESR definitive diagnosis is biopsy

22:15:50 [Step_1]>[quizme2005] path is a very big subject which ties all subjects together. good to do throughout studies because it is so important in my opinion.

22:15:51 [zeda] thanks sanya

22:15:59 [ayouh] phenomenon, secondary to other disease

22:16:07 [jwls29] agree with ayouh

22:16:40 [jwls29] disease is an exaggerated vasomotor response to cold or stress

22:17:02 [quizme2005] Step_1> ty step1 cuz path is my fav subject... im almost done half (havent revised it yet) but im consdering diong it be4 others

22:17:13 [sanya] PAN assctd with HEp B or C

22:17:30 [jwls29] hep b

22:17:42 [jwls29] in 30% of cases

22:17:48 [ayouh] colors are white blue then red

22:18:11 [Step_1] hep b

22:18:14 [zeda] ya

22:18:16 [GABA] hep b

22:18:37 [sanya] yes!

22:18:42 [ayouh] decrease flow, cyanosis then flow is back..

22:18:42 [quizme2005] zeda> brb im stil here

22:18:57 [Step_1] P-olyarteritis nodosa assoc with P-anca (notice the P relation )

22:19:01 [jwls29] where else do we see p-anca antibodies?

22:19:37 [jwls29] no lung in pan

22:20:11 [ayouh] astham

22:20:17 [ayouh] eosinophilia ?

22:20:37 [ayouh] chrug something disease whihch is a variant of pan

22:20:41 [jwls29] we see p-anca antibodies in churg strauss sdme

22:20:49 [GABA] lung

22:20:52 [sanya] chrug strauss

22:20:57 [jwls29] yes ayouh

22:21:00 [sanya] churg

22:21:10 [crusher] churg strauss synd with asthma and eosinophilia

22:21:26 [jwls29] yup

22:21:51 [zeda] c/p?

22:22:00 [ayouh] clinical features of pan ?

22:22:33 [zeda] focal vasculitis

22:22:45 [Step_1] fever, pain in involved areas, multisystem disease with infarction

22:22:49 Sugar enters this room

22:22:52 [sanya] Step1 did you read goljan notes notes, because he mentions in bold letters that p-anca is not assctd with PAn but with microscopic polyangitis and I'm not too sure to go with it

22:23:12 [ayouh] have no clue what dx would be...does not involove lung though...Segmental nertotizing vasculitis on biopsy, P-anca +ve

22:23:16 [jwls29] hematuria, renal failure, diarrhea, GI upset

22:23:24 [zeda] organ infarction....in kid( RF),heart( ac. MI),,bowels( bloody diarrhea),skin ( ulcer)

22:23:37 [ayouh] anything could be a symptom

22:23:44 [crusher] very similiar to wegners but involve other organs to

22:23:49 [ayouh] what is P-anca ?

22:24:02 [Step_1]>[sanya] thats where i got it from, goljan gave the mneuomins of P-AN and p-anca....thats strange

22:24:18 [Pluto] \

22:24:43 [zeda] pernuclear antineutrophil cytoplasmic antibodies

22:24:44 [jwls29] antibodies against myeloperoxidase

22:24:54 [jwls29] it has a correlation with disease activity

22:24:55 [sanya] On page 141 he says P-anca ab's are not present in PAn???

22:24:58 [ayouh] autoantibody against myeloperoxidase, correlates with disease activity

22:25:06 [Step_1] p-ANCA is antineutrophilic cytoplasmic antibodies with perinuclear staining

22:25:33 [ayouh] can you elaborate step 1 plz

22:25:34 [sanya] in temporal arteritis which is the screening test

22:25:48 [sanya] sorry that q was a mistake

22:25:48 [ayouh] esr

22:25:51 [crusher] ESR

22:25:56 [Sugar] biopsy

22:25:58 [zeda] ESR

22:26:07 [GABA] but P anca is is rarely found in PAN

22:26:19 [sanya] yes esr but I asked it before it was a mistake, sorry

22:26:22 [jwls29] sugar, can you change your color font please?

22:26:26 [ayouh] 75 %

22:26:28 [jwls29] it would be easier to read

22:26:39 [Sugar] ok ??

22:26:50 [ayouh] 75 % gaba

22:26:51 [jwls29] biopsy is for the definitive diagnosis

22:26:58 [Step_1] i might have a different version of the notes, but on pg 49 of sec 2 of kap lan's path by goljan, and also in his audios, he mentions that it does have p-anca.....not sure which is correct??

22:27:00 [jwls29] esr is screening test

22:27:01 [crusher] biopsy may not be screeining but mire specific

22:27:04 [jwls29] better

22:27:10 [sanya] MC organ involved in PAN

22:27:58 nne enters this room

22:32:48 [crusher] diff b/w the wegner and good pasture clinically is wegner involve upper resp tract like nasal sinuses,lower resp tract and kidneys while good pasture only loer resp tract and kid

22:33:03 [ayouh] c-anca is autoantibody against proteinase 3

22:33:34 [Step_1] c-anca has diffuse cytoplamic pattern

22:33:37 [jwls29] the way i also remember it is that good pasture is 2 words and so it involves 2 organs: lungs,kidneys

22:34:08 [ayouh] and it is type 2 hypersensitivity

22:34:22 [ayouh] 2 words , 2 organs, type 2

22:34:36 [zeda] ya

22:34:37 [Step_1] good one

22:34:46 [jwls29] cool

22:41:19 [crusher] TcA remember 3Cs coma convulsion carivascular collasp

22:41:22 [ayouh] too many drugs..

22:42:03 [crusher] ref goljian review page 91 under tca antidepressent

22:42:53 [ayouh] did he say : most common drug causes of death due to prescription drug or just the 3cs

22:43:25 [crusher] it says most common cause of death by PRESCRIPTION DRUG

22:43:41 [ayouh] ok thanks...

22:49:08 [Sugar] hey, mine is now problem

22:49:29 [Sugar] if enzymes r increased ,it is infarct

22:49:32 [Step_1] sugar, you cant type stuff like kap lan, amaxon, etc or you will get a link like above

22:49:44 [ayouh] thanks all..forgot about enzymes...it s ipossible that they would just skip the enzyme part right ?

22:49:55 [Sugar] if enzymes r not increase, it is angina

22:49:59 [zeda] 0-24 hrs....no gross changesuntil 24 hrs after MI

22:50:10 [Sugar] then if infarct, u will DDx with ECG

22:50:42 [crusher] yes after 24 hrs neutrophils start appearing

22:54:58 [zeda] what is the cause of sudden death?

22:55:09 [Sugar] which age

22:55:30 [zeda] in hypert. cardiomyopath?

22:55:40 [ayouh] infarction ----> release of antigens into serum -----> body responses by making antibodies which takes 2-3 weeks

22:56:33 [ayouh] general q ---> CAD...but in athlete young who dies suddenly hypertrophic cardiopathy

22:57:04 [Step_1] pt presents with neck vein distention with inspiration (Kussmaul sign), muffled heart sounds, hypotension (assoc with pulsus paradoxus with drop in bp on inspiration). what is this triad called? and what is the diag?

22:57:16 [zeda] bec. of conductance disturbance

22:57:24 [sanya] becks triade

22:57:29 [jwls29] beck's triad

22:57:36 [zeda] Beck's triad

22:57:40 [crusher] cariac tampnade n beckers triad

22:57:49 [jwls29] cardiac tamponade

22:57:49 [Sugar] pericardial teimponade

22:57:49 [ayouh] autosomal dominant more than 50 % of cases : hypertrophic cardiomyopathy

22:58:02 [Step_1] becks triad is correct for the triad....pericardial effusion is the diag

22:58:24 [syman77] if pericarditis...same features with precordial knock...am i riht

22:58:26 [jwls29] ok

22:58:47 [sanya] is it pericardial effusion or cardiac tamponade, step1

22:59:04 [Sugar] tamponade

22:59:14 [GABA] yes

22:59:30 [ayouh] what keeps pda open and what closes it ?

22:59:31 [jwls29] i'm almost positive it's tamponade

22:59:38 [Step_1] the correct answer was pericardial effusion, but i will check to see if becks also in temponade

22:59:41 [ayouh] what is pericardial effusion ?

23:00:02 [crusher] prostgland e open and indomethacin closes

23:00:04 [zeda] diag...pericardial efuusion

23:00:25 [syman77] fluid in pericardial space..

23:00:30 [sanya] collection of fluid in the pericardial sac which usually has about 25ml.

23:00:40 [Step_1] pericardial effusion is basically result of blood refluxing behind the heart

23:00:47 [Sugar] patent ductus arteriosus

23:01:07 [ayouh] ok thanks

23:01:30 [jwls29] i'm going to have to respectfully disagree with you on this, step 1

23:01:35 [zeda] want to move in RS?

23:01:40 [ayouh] mc type of cardiac myopathies ?

23:01:48 [quizme2005] ayouh pge2 keeps pda open, indo closes it

23:02:01 [crusher] constricitive

23:02:09 [ayouh] yes..go ahead...yeah quize ther you go stay here

23:02:24 [Step_1] yes, both correct......"A triad characteristic of acute cardiac tamponade, consisting of high venous pressure, a low arterial pressure, and decreased heart sound." great job everyone!

23:02:28 [Sugar] coxackie

23:02:34 [quizme2005] im here i was in wshrm

23:02:39 [Step_1] so becks seen in both

23:02:40 [syman77] kwl way to remember it is PGA open for golf...

23:02:44 [ayouh] dialated cardiomyopathy

23:02:59 [Sugar] TOF

23:03:15 [quizme2005] i agree with suga

23:03:40 [Step_1] mneumonic is the "PGA Open" (golf) to remember that PG opens the PDA

23:03:55 [Step_1] oops....i type too slow

23:04:00 [quizme2005] nice step 1

23:04:04 [ayouh] nice step 1`

23:04:07 [quizme2005] nice syman

23:04:23 [syman77] thanks..

23:04:28 [Step_1] syman beat me to it....good job syman

23:04:49 [syman77] hehe

23:05:40 [crusher] pneumonic og constric cario is ABCD=alcohol,beriberi,coxecia B,doxirubacin,diastoilic dysfunction(ref fir t Ai d)

23:06:37 [sanya] Step1 how was the cardio stuff in the exam is it doablw tih goljan

23:07:00 [sanya] I mean doable with goljan

23:07:24 [crusher] what is the effect of lying down on the cardiac out put in IHSS?

23:07:28 [Step_1] i swear by goljan....i wasnt so sure about him before exam, but now i know that he really prepares you will for exam

23:08:00 [jwls29] where did zeda go?

23:08:22 [Sugar] IHSS ???

23:08:22 [sanya] Thanks I heard they aska lot about murmurs etc

23:08:24 [quizme2005] u there zeda?

23:08:41 [Step_1] good question....where is zeda?

23:09:26 [crusher] whateffect of valsal maneuvor on IHSS?

23:09:36 [sanya] may be she just dozed off..........

23:10:07 [sanya] increases the intensity of murmur in IHSS

23:10:08 [Sugar] crusher - what is IHSS ???

23:10:38 [crusher] hypertrophic cardiomyopathy

23:10:53 [sanya] idiopathic hypertrophic subaortic stenosis

23:11:29 [ayouh] most frequent valvular leesion ?

23:11:29 [crusher] sanya can you expalin why?

23:12:32 zeda enters this room

23:12:48 [jwls29] zeda, we were wondering where you went

23:12:57 [quizme2005]

23:13:03 [ayouh] lets talk murmurs plz...very weak in them..

23:13:12 [ayouh] i am i mean..

23:13:13 [sanya] because when the blood flow to the heart decreaes wi h Valsalve maneuvre the L ventricale is smaller and the obstruction increases

23:13:28 [zeda] sorry guys ..i was disconnected

23:13:35 [Step_1] welcome back zeda!

23:13:37 [sanya] sorry for the spelling mistakes guys

23:13:39 [jwls29] ok

23:14:01 [quizme2005] speaking of heart does anyone know what is the afferent and effrent of heart reflex (slowing down)

23:14:10 [ayouh] can we start with the common high yeild ones plz ?

23:14:19 [quizme2005] i came across a question bout that 2day

23:14:26 [sanya] parasympathetic slows

23:14:26 [Step_1] machinery murmur heard in what?

23:14:31 [sanya] PDA

23:14:35 [crusher] ok thanks sanya

23:14:42 [ayouh] vagus slos..

23:14:44 [quizme2005] sanya i know but what nerve?

23:14:48 [ayouh] slows

23:14:56 [quizme2005] vagus is efferent or affrent?

23:15:09 [quizme2005] step 1 can u help me out?

23:15:14 [ayouh] afferent i think

23:15:38 [Step_1] machinery murmur = PDA ...mneumonic is a "PDA (palm pilot) is a machine"

23:15:57 [zeda] so we r still in cardiac?

23:16:22 [ayouh] great step 1

23:16:22 [zeda] ok

23:16:31 [quizme2005] yup

23:16:37 [sanya] we didn't do murmurs and it is very important

23:17:01 [crusher] let start murmurs

23:17:35 [crusher] holosystolic blowing murumur which condition you will see

23:17:49 [sanya] VSD, MR, TR

23:17:55 [ayouh] is whatever in f a for murmurs enough ?

23:17:55 [quizme2005] Step_1> vagus is efferent or affrent?

23:18:16 [Step_1]>[quizme2005] the hethe predominant tone in the heart is parasympathetic which slows the heart down. if you block the effect, you will have unopposed sympathetic stim so you will have tachy

23:18:41 [crusher] right sanya

23:18:42 [Step_1] is that what you meant?

23:18:49 [zeda] hi usmle

23:19:05 [quizme2005] Step_1> yeah, but i was doing a quiz question 2day and it asked my what is the efferent and afferent parasymph of the heart?

23:19:10 [usmle_exam] Hi

23:19:35 [quizme2005] Step_1> choices were vagus, glosspharyngeal, upper or lower ansa cervicalis

23:19:54 [ayouh] vagus defenitely

23:19:55 [crusher] how can you differntiate holosytolic murmur of MR and VSD

23:20:03 [quizme2005] Step_1> were 2 questions (one for affrenct and one for effrent) same choices for both

23:20:09 sohel enters this room

23:20:31 [ayouh] mr high pitched ?

23:21:01 [sanya] MR it is at the apex radiating to axilla

23:21:19 [sanya] VSD along the L steranl border

23:21:24 [Step_1] do you have the exact question? or can you be more specific. not sure what they're asking?

23:21:26 [sanya] sternal

23:22:36 [sanya] has diamond shaped configuration, systolic or diastolic

23:22:51 [crusher] MR first its high pitch blowing murmur and second its location at apex of heart

23:22:55 [quizme2005] Step_1> the question was "what is the affrent nerve supply for the heart reflex (slows the heart down)?" naturally i thought something to do with carotid bodies etc

23:23:13 [Step_1] i always remember it as APT M (apartment M). it goes AP on 2nd ICS and TM on 5th intercostal. there is a good diagram and question in the step 1 forum that i will bump...once you see it, it'll stick in your head

23:23:19 [sanya] which murmur has diamond shaped configuration, systolic or diastolic

23:24:30 [Step_1]>[quizme2005] maybe they mean the carotid body vs the carotid sinus. one is with pressure and the other with o2 sat??

23:24:55 [ayouh] what r u talking about step 1 ?

23:24:57 [quizme2005] nvm step 1 thanks for trying

23:25:01 [sanya] quizzme if it is the carotid bodies then the afferents are more likely th GN 9th N

23:25:29 [ayouh] murmurs...i really appreciate if you stick sometnin to my stick-less head

23:25:36 [quizme2005] makes sense sanya and the effrent is prolly vagus

23:26:25 [crusher] cresando decresando ,,,,aortic stenosis??

23:26:41 [sanya] no the aortic bodies have the 10th N as afferents

23:26:58 [sanya] yes crusher

23:27:00 zeda enters this room

23:27:24 [quizme2005] welcome back zeda

23:27:47 [zeda] sorry .....disconnected again

23:27:47 [crusher] wb zeda

23:27:56 [zeda] thanks quiz

23:28:11 [zeda] thanks crush

23:28:20 [sanya] pul murmur L 2nd ICS, aortic R 2nd ICS, Mitral apex, Tricuspid along L steranl border

23:29:14 [sanya] which is the murmur between S1 and S2

23:29:39 [Step_1]>[quizme2005] the sinus will detect high pressure, which will result in increased parasymp activity to heart (slow down) via vagus....right?

23:30:00 [quizme2005] yes step 1

23:30:08 [crusher] APT...M is pneomonic for location of valves

23:31:02 [Step_1] http://www.valuemd.com/viewtopic.php...&highlight=apt for heart sounds

23:31:05 [quizme2005] sanya i dont think there gonna ask mumurs and if they do maybe 1 or 2 questions (i think its mostly step 2 )

23:32:02 [zeda] we should move to RS now?

23:32:21 [crusher] mitral stenosis sayna?

23:32:24 [quizme2005] sure zed

23:33:01 [sanya] quizzme, this was told by many who did the step1 exam that murmurs heart sounds and the drawings like configurations are the most commonly asked stuff.

23:33:10 [zeda] post-op pt. presents with restrictive breathing and fever........MC cause?

23:33:19 [Step_1] actually, murmurs are hit often as part of stem for clues on diagnosis. it can help narrow it down a bit if you know them well...at least the big ones

23:33:44 [quizme2005] thanks sanya and step 1

23:33:51 [crusher] ms/mr/as and As r big ones

23:34:20 [jwls29] atalectasis

23:34:36 [zeda] resorption atelectasis...d/t mucous plug blocking the terminal bronchioles

23:34:41 [crusher] agree with jwls

23:34:51 [zeda] right jwls

23:35:26 [zeda] MC aspiration site in Lung?

23:36:13 [zeda] sup. segment of the rt. lower lobe

23:36:13 [jwls29] depends on position of the patient

23:36:17 [Step_1] the impt buzzwords are things like high pitched blowing = AV/PV regurg, machinery murmur = PDA, cresendo/decresendo and ejection click = aortic stenosis, opening S-nap = MV/TV S-tenosis, fixed splitting of S2 = ASD, etc.

23:36:22 [zeda] ya...

23:36:23 [sanya] R lower lobe usually

23:36:47 [zeda] right too....but still MC is sup.seg.

23:37:30 [zeda] perfusion is greater than ventilation

23:37:47 [sanya] lower lobe because of increased perfusion

23:38:06 [zeda] ya...

23:38:25 [sanya] thanks zeda

23:38:37 [quizme2005] zeda> post-op pt. presents with restrictive breathing and fever........MC cause( how does that tell u resroption atelectasis?_

23:39:18 [zeda] why Cigarette smoking is MC cause for emphysema?e

23:39:34 [quizme2005] neutrophilia ( release elastase)

23:40:40 [jwls29] imbalance between elastase in neutrophils and antielastases

23:41:20 [crusher] imbalance b/w elastase and antielastse ,,neutrophils inc more elase

23:41:33 [zeda] if it is within 24-36hrs after surg......MC cause is reso. atelectasis
