21:10:44 [Step_1] we all missed you to lorena. good to hear from you again

21:10:44 [Hmmmmmm] more pili means more virulence (my previous question)

21:11:00 [Lorena]

21:11:00 [Hmmmmmm] ash i think its adenyl cylase and increase cAMP

21:12:01 [erum] today is my first day

21:15:23 [crusher] hope u feeling good lorena and welcome back

21:15:29 [Step_1] excellent crusher. the buzz word was BI lateral vs UNI lateral....good point

21:15:31 [ash] which org. has heat sensitive catalase?

21:15:54 [Hmmmmmm] ohhh i thought it was 10 X 2^7

21:16:19 [Step_1] cat + would be Staph aureus and yersinia

21:16:28 [Hmmmmmm] staph aureus

21:16:30 [Lorena] staph aureus

21:17:00 [crusher] sataph auerus is both catalase and coaglase +ve

21:17:09 [Hmmmmmm] yersinia is coagulase +ve i think?

21:17:34 [ash] the catch is heat sensitive and the answer is m.tb

21:18:33 [Hmmmmmm] nice one ash

21:18:45 [crusher] all staph are catalase +ve not just staph aureus,,staph auerus piciluarity is its COAGULASE POSITIVE too

21:20:08 [crusher] N.menigititidis has capsule

21:20:08 [Step_1] yeah, i messed up, i meant to say that staph aureus and yersernia are both COAG +....not both cat +...sorry, end of a very long day

21:20:34 [Lorena] no capsule no vaccine vs N. meningitidis (it has capsule so it has vaccine)

21:20:56 [ash] i am asking an org. with a capsule that is nonimmunogenic

21:21:15 [ash] and gram negative cocci

23:14:54 [Step_1] oops, i'm too late

23:15:04 [Hmmmmmm] good step

23:15:25 [crusher] you not late step1 ..u r ahead of all of us

23:15:30 [Jugular] Hey, Step 1, Are the Goljan HY 100 pg notes useful?

23:15:49 [Step_1] not at all, i learn something new everytime i join you all

23:15:56 [Hmmmmmm] hey step 1 u used WebPrep rite? did u use vidoe lectures?

23:16:08 [Hmmmmmm] whoops sorry

23:16:24 [Lorena] dont type c aplan

23:16:37 [Lorena] or go- l jan

23:16:39 [Step_1] i didnt have time to go thru all of the 100 pgs because i got them too late, but the parts i went through were pretty good. seemed like a summary of his lecture notes

23:16:47 [Jugular] step 1 , are the HY 100 pg notes useful?

23:17:00 [crusher] thats may be the secreyte of ur sucess never let go any chance of learning

23:17:18 [Jugular] r they really HY?

23:17:39 [Hmmmmmm] ok ppl i will put some biochem and other cards up for download 2day i found them in some school website very good flash cards

23:17:40 [Jugular] r they comparable with FA?

23:17:53 [Step_1] web prep is good, but not as a primary source because it just hits very high yield stuff. its good to do them using the regular kap lan lecture notes

23:18:09 [Hmmmmmm] ok thanks step

23:18:29 [Jugular] Thanks Crusher

23:18:35 [Lorena] thank s hmmmmm

23:19:14 [Step_1] jug, i think f.a. is another word we should type

23:19:23 [Hmmmmmm] np crush and lorena

23:19:36 [Jugular] did u do f.a. as well, Step 1?

23:20:13 [Step_1] f.a. is another high yield. remember that repetition is key to learning. must go over the stuff over and over, but its gets much easier the 2nd, 3rd, 4th time around

23:21:00 [drkittu] Got to go. Good Night everyone. See you next week

23:21:14 [Lorena] i will name some bugs and you will tell me the animals they are in association with ....ok?

23:21:15 [Step_1] yes, using the chat schedule, i would listen to web prep using kap lan notes, and also f.a., except for path where i used gol jan. and dont forget lots and lots of questions

23:25:32 [Lorena] thank you step 1 for still participate in the chats, i will see you all on saturday

23:25:46 [drsnsathya] hi step 1 i am new to the chat.today is the first day.

23:25:57 [Step_1] lorena, it was great to have you hear with us again. see you sat

23:26:05 [Lorena] i wil check the transcript to see what was left , bye hutals, pleasure tio meet you hm and all

23:26:20 [Hmmmmmm] ok bye lorena

23:26:33 [Step_1] welcome drsnsathya, you're doing great. you have great questions and answers

23:26:51 [hutals] good nite lorena. see ya next time

23:26:51 [drsnsathya] bye lorena. good to discuss with you

23:27:37 [Step_1] maybe we should leave viruses and immuno for next time since virology is pretty long anyway.

23:27:37 [Hmmmmmm] ok give me B-hemolytic bateria

23:27:47 [Jugular] Step 1, after QBank which one is the best source of questions?

23:27:51 [Hmmmmmm] yes please step1 im kinda week in viruses

23:28:19 [Hmmmmmm] btw can i add 7 megs in attachment in a post?

23:29:18 [hutals] i dont know, you can also talk to the admin to see if they can help (assuming its not copyrights or anything)

23:29:26 [drsnsathya] oh come on1 actually i have read once from Kaplan notes but had 2 months break coz i went to india for somme personal stuff. i have just starated the prep. next week i am going to start Kaplan live 1 prep class. can you give your e mail id.step 1

23:30:12 [Step_1] remember that we cant type stuff like kap lan, q.bank, first aid, f.a., amaxon, gol.jan, etc

23:30:15 [drsnsathya] oh i am sorry

23:30:31 [Step_1] or we will get those links....good for the forum, but bad for the chats

23:31:29 [Jugular] Step 1, next to K Bank which one is the next best Q Source?

23:31:39 [Hmmmmmm] B-hemolytic other than strep pyogenes adn strep. agalacatie are stap aureus, listeria and clostridum perfringens

23:32:27 [Step_1] i think it is online q.bank is best because it covers both the format (timining, etc) and learning (detailed answers). after that i think b.s.s. is pretty good. the nbme test is also good (45 bucks) because it tells you where you stand, but no answers provided. tommys concepts are also good.

23:32:49 [Hmmmmmm] jugular i also this webpath is priceless

23:33:42 [Jugular] webpath doesn't explain the answers!

23:34:24 [Hmmmmmm] yes it does jug

23:34:33 [Hmmmmmm] a small explanation

23:34:34 [Jugular] really?

23:34:37 [Step_1] yes, webpath is a good question source for path. also gol.jan has some good remembered questions to read. there are so many sources, just try not to overextend. the most important is q.bank. i actually did that twice instead of using another source (but i did some others as well)

23:34:53 [Jugular] I did the renal section of Physio test files

23:35:02 [Jugular] and there were no explanations!

23:35:36 [Hmmmmmm] ok i have a integrative question

23:35:58 [hutals] tommy has a great free source for those strapped for cash

23:36:12 [Hmmmmmm] african american patient was treated for malaria and got anemia dx?

23:36:29 [Jugular] sickle cell anemia

23:36:41 [hutals] also take a look at the recalls from last yr by trinity, melissa and others....priceless

23:36:44 [drsnsathya] sickle cell anemia

23:36:57 [Jugular] or is it drug reaction?

23:37:19 [Jugular] G6PD deficiency?

23:37:19 [Hmmmmmm] ill wait for step 1's reply too since the server is slo

23:37:53 [drsnsathya]>[Step_1] i am taking live prep course from next week . i am gonna miss this chat for 2 months.

23:38:06 [Step_1] drug rxn

23:38:15 [Step_1] sorry computer acting funny

23:38:18 [Hmmmmmm] G6PD

23:38:34 [Hmmmmmm] remember chloroquine ?

23:39:05 [Jugular] G6PD deficient pts react by having hemolysis when they take certain drugs like antimalarial drugs or fava beans

23:39:14 [Hmmmmmm] yes jugular

23:39:26 [Step_1]>[drsnsathya] thats excellent. the live preps are the best. i think everyone would do them if they had the money, time, and center close by. let us know how it goes

23:39:36 [Hmmmmmm] sorry its not fair since patho is next week but a very tricky integrative question

23:39:45 [Jugular] Iam sleepy, I gotta go

23:44:15 [Hmmmmmm] can u describe bartonella to me? i cant find it here?

23:44:42 [hutals] not sure it will take that many mb in one file. i think the max is 3 mb unless the admin overrides it for you, but not sure??



23:46:25 [Hmmmmmm] lotsa questions though around 20000

23:46:30 [Step_1] Rochalimaea henselae si the old name and now called Bartonella henselae

23:50:21 [Hmmmmmm] ok anymore questions?

23:50:32 [Hmmmmmm] lobar pneumonia? orgranisM?

23:50:46 [Step_1] hmmmmm, they will probably present it in a case where a young girl was playing with her cat and then throw in a bunch of distracting stuff, but you will notice on physical that the pt has lympadenopathy, cellulitis, lymph node involvement or something like that.

23:50:49 [Hmmmmmm] 2 organism of subacute endocarditis?

23:53:04 [Hmmmmmm] thansk step1 for the explanation

23:53:20 [drsnsathya] bread crumb colony -which organism?

23:54:16 [Step_1] Subacute bacterial endocarditis (SBE) is usually caused by streptococcal species (especially viridans streptococci), and less often by staphylococci.

23:54:27 [Hmmmmmm] good step1

23:55:17 [Hmmmmmm] oh man the upload got cancelled max upload is 5mb

23:56:55 [drsnsathya] oh thank you.

23:56:58 [hutals] let the admin know and they will probably find a solution for you. maybe you can break it up into two files?

23:57:15 [Hmmmmmm] what is the cause of damaged valves leading to subacute endocarditis

23:57:56 [Hmmmmmm] good point hutal

23:58:53 [Step_1] damaged heart valves and endocarditis in elderly can be enterococcus faecalis

00:00:59 [Hmmmmmm] bye drsnsathya great having u here

00:01:14 [Step_1] i dont have an answer, but i think that it would need to be combo of peniciliin and aminoglycoside because resistant to either one alone, but known to work together. just a guess
