22:17:29 [Lorena] papova, parvo, adeno, calci, picorna

22:17:32 [ash] parvo,papavo,adeno

22:17:33 [Hmmmmmm] papova, adeno, parvo

22:18:08 [Step_1] very good! -Parvo -Adeno -Papova . mneumonic is "You need to be naked for a PAP smear". Lorena, the last two are naked, but they're RNA....but good point

22:18:17 [Lorena] opps, sorry , i wrote all naked ones, RNA too

22:18:45 [Lorena]

22:18:56 [erum] what is lichen planus

22:19:00 [Hmmmmmm] hey thanks for writing them cuz i dont know RNA viruses

22:19:24 [Step_1] thats ok, better to cover now so that we dont need to write a separate question Lorena

22:19:37 [Lorena]

22:20:06 [Step_1] there is one more naked RNA that people often forget.....that's Reovirus

22:20:14 [Hmmmmmm] reo

22:20:23 [Lorena] thanks step

22:20:37 [erum] name viruses associated with gbs

22:20:46 [Hmmmmmm] u have to be naked for a PAP and CPR eh step 1

22:20:49 [ash] fever and severe pleuritic chest pain known as epidemic myalgia is caused by?

22:21:12 [Hmmmmmm] erum ans for ur 1st question please?

22:21:16 [erum] cocksackie

22:21:19 [ash] what is the characteristic finding of reo virus ?

22:21:29 [Lorena] what is gbs?

22:21:42 [Hmmmmmm] gullina barre syn

22:22:00 [Lorena] reo virus are naked, double stranded RNA viruses (that makes them diff from the rest RNA viruses)

22:22:08 [ash] right erum what group and do you know other names for this disease?

22:22:12 [Lorena] they are also segmented virus

22:22:21 [ash] good lorena

22:22:27 [erum] yep

22:22:51 [erum] types of gbs

22:23:57 [Lorena] also campylobacter j. , i remember from last chat is associated with GBS

22:24:07 [Lorena] thanks to ash

22:24:14 [Step_1] ROBA (sounds like "robot" for segmented) Reo, Orthomyxo, Bunya, Arena

22:25:08 [erum] its a skin disease autoimmune

22:25:29 [ash] this pt. has fever ,sore throat and tender vesicles in the oropharynx.it is not a dna virus and it is not enveloped .what is the disease and the causative agent?

22:25:33 [Hmmmmmm] ty erum

22:25:36 [Step_1] Haemophilus influenzae, parainfluenza 1 virus, influenza A virus, influenza B virus, adenovirus, and herpes simplex virus all have been demonstrated in patients with GBS

22:26:06 [ash] thanks step_1

22:26:17 [erum] mycoplasma too

22:26:27 [Step_1] nevermind that....I just read that those are not more frequently found than in controls....ooops

22:27:12 [Step_1] I think that CMV and the C jejuni are the most frequent....is that correct?

22:27:14 [Lorena] cocksackie?

22:27:37 [ash] yes lorena and what is the disease?

22:27:48 [Lorena] influenza A and B are frequent too for GBS

22:27:59 [Hmmmmmm] foot and mouth?

22:28:28 [Lorena] herpangina

22:28:29 [erum] ebv and cmv

22:28:31 [Step_1] It goes on to say "Other significant, though less frequently identified, infectious agents in GBS patients include Epstein-Barr virus (EBV), Mycoplasma pneumoniae, and varicella zoster virus."

22:29:09 [erum] c jejuni is associated with axonal type

22:29:28 [Step_1] it almost sounds like they're not really sure, so they include them all

22:29:33 [drkittu] viruses causing aseptic meningitis?

22:29:35 [ash] lorena right again .hand foot and mouth diasase has rash on hand and feet(vesicular) and ulsers in mouth

22:29:38 [Lorena] lol

22:30:34 [Step_1] coxsackieviruses and echoviruses

22:30:41 [ash] drkittu herpes

22:30:46 [drkittu] Yes

22:31:06 [drkittu] coxsaxhe and echo ......ash

22:31:37 [ash] oops sorry

22:31:49 [Lorena] so when you say aseptic it means it is caused by echo and coxackie?.....

22:32:40 [Step_1] aseptic means viral meningitis.....of which 90% is caused by echo and cosackie. but also Herpesviruses and the mumps virus can also cause viral meningitis.

22:32:44 [ash] hey i am right herpes simplex 2 does cause aseptic meningitis

22:32:46 [Lorena] i am confused , i thought when it is a virus that causes meningitis you refer to it as "aseptic"

22:33:02 [Lorena] just to make the diff of bacterial ethiology

22:33:24 [drkittu] sorry ash

22:33:27 [Lorena] thanks for clarify step !

22:33:41 [Step_1] no prob

22:34:08 erum enters this room

22:34:18 [Lorena] welcome back erum

22:34:19 [ash] thats ok

22:34:35 [Hmmmmmm] cause of infantile gastroentertis?

22:34:43 [erum] thanks

22:35:03 [Step_1] rotavirus

22:35:03 [ash] hey i just remembered another viral infection associated with monkeys-yellow fever

22:35:05 [drkittu] Rota virus, Norwalk virus

22:35:23 [Lorena] rotavirus, adenovirus

22:35:32 [Hmmmmmm] good rotavirus

22:35:43 [erum] rotavirus

22:36:07 [Step_1] i think that norwalk is more common in older children. i remember it because they can "walk", so "norWALK"

22:36:16 [ash] can we discuss some immunology now?

22:36:39 [ash] wow step_! i will always remember it now

22:36:56 [Hmmmmmm] are we doing parasites at all?

22:37:18 [ash] ok lets do parasites then

22:37:28 [erum] preterm 28 weeker with hypoxia and tachypnea in january

22:38:00 [Lorena] RSV

22:38:10 [Lorena] ?

22:38:25 [erum] right

22:39:15 [Lorena] RSV is the major cause of bronchiolitis and neumonia in <1 yo

22:39:27 [ash] which protozoal cyst has 8 nuclei?

22:39:33 [Step_1] i was trying to figure out which parasite could cause that

22:39:47 [erum] screening test for herpes simplex type2

22:39:48 [Hmmmmmm] i was thinking HMD! man im lost

22:40:25 [erum] well patient has no active lesions ofcourse

22:40:28 [Step_1] tzanck smear

22:40:51 [ash] elisa

22:40:55 [Step_1] oops, good point....you said screening

22:41:34 [erum] serum igg n igm

22:41:55 [Lorena] before start parasites we should review, HIV, very high yield if you want , or we can just post some q's later

22:42:17 [Hmmmmmm] yeah lets review HIV

22:42:35 [Hmmmmmm] we can post parasite questions

22:43:07 [ash] ok

22:43:11 [Step_1] as far as regulatory genes for HIV, which up regulate and which down regulate?

22:43:58 [ash] tat and rev upregulaie and nef downregulates

22:44:10 [drkittu] Tat for Up regulation

22:44:19 [Lorena] REV upregulates , and nef downmregulates (controversial) , VIF upregulate

22:44:30 [Step_1] tat and rev ("rev it up") are up regulatory and nef (enef which sounds like enough is down) is down.

22:44:35 [drkittu] Nef down regulates

22:44:57 [Hmmmmmm] good one

22:45:18 [Step_1] what is screening for HIV?

22:45:21 [ash] hiv has been subdivided into classes by what gene?

22:45:31 [Lorena] ELISA

22:45:45 [Hmmmmmm] elsia

22:45:47 [ash] agree with lorena

22:45:55 [ash] good sensitivity

22:46:29 [Step_1] ELISA is screening. what if positive, what next? (trick question). and here is ethics part....when do you tell pt?

22:46:47 [erum] conffirm westiorn blot

22:46:53 [Lorena] if positive western blot

22:46:54 [Hmmmmmm] if positive u do it again

22:47:20 [ash] western blot for confirmation

22:47:20 [Lorena] you tell the patient immediately........?

22:47:29 [ash] best specificity

22:47:30 [erum] sorry i meant western blot

22:47:54 [Step_1] that was kinda tricky. if elisa is positive, you repeat it. if positive again, then you confirm with western blot. do not tell pt until all the testing is done and confirmed

22:48:18 [Lorena] thank you step

22:48:18 [Step_1] i meant when to tell the pt that they have HIV

22:48:31 [erum] agree with step 1

22:48:36 [Hmmmmmm] ty step

22:48:53 [ash] thanx step_1

22:49:39 [Lorena] when do you start therapy with AZT?

22:49:57 [ash] hiv has been subdivided into classes by what gene?

22:50:14 [Lorena] sorry ash, i dont know the answer

22:50:26 [Hmmmmmm] ans please?

22:50:52 [ash] gp 120

22:51:29 [Step_1] i think when cd4 count is below 500 or with a detectable viral load over 20,000....but that is more of a step 2 question

22:51:49 [Lorena] it would be env gene then which codes for pg120

22:52:05 [Lorena] yes step 1 , right

22:52:20 [ash] the main immune response to hiv is by which cells?

22:52:24 [Lorena] gp 120 i meant to say

22:52:51 [Hmmmmmm] cell mediated

22:53:06 [ash] right lorena env gene is first gp160 it is then cleaved to gp120 and gp41

22:53:26 [ash] hmmmmmmm what cells?

22:53:51 [Hmmmmmm] nk, macrophage

22:54:14 [Lorena] agree with hmmmmmm.and B cells too?

22:54:21 [Step_1] now here is an HIV and immuno question combined...so boards love this. what percent of babies will test positive for HIV Abs? (hint: this is a trick question)

22:54:38 [ash] what cells mediate cell mediated immunity?

22:54:54 [ash] step_1 none

22:54:55 [Lorena] 100%

22:55:03 [Hmmmmmm] t helper

22:55:08 [Hmmmmmm] 0 %?

22:55:09 [Step_1] babies meaning newborns

22:55:22 [ash] none

22:55:41 [Lorena] ash what is the ans to the main immune response to hiv is by which cells?

22:55:42 [Step_1] and newborns meaning newborns to HIV moms....sorry, 1st part of question was cut off

22:55:59 [ash] the answer is cd8 t cells

22:56:06 [Hmmmmmm] oh then 100%

22:56:16 [Lorena] they get ab from mom

22:56:26 [drkittu] 100%

22:56:27 [Hmmmmmm] agree wit lorena

22:56:35 [ash] remember the main cells responsible for cell mediated immunity are cd8

22:56:38 [Lorena] thanks ash

22:56:40 [Hmmmmmm] ty ash

22:57:05 [ash] yes i think 100 %too

22:57:22 [Step_1] 100% of newborn babies from HIV infected moms will test positive for HIV Abs because the Abs are passed on via IgG.

22:57:36 [drkittu] Thatwhy PCR used to test HIV Virus in babies

22:57:46 [Lorena] cool

22:57:50 [Hmmmmmm] biggest antibody in serum?

22:58:04 [Lorena] good correlation dr kittu

22:58:30 [Step_1] or you can do PCR like drkittue said...but its expensive

22:58:31 [Lorena] IgM

22:59:09 [Hmmmmmm] macrophages attached to which portion of the antibody?

22:59:13 [Hmmmmmm] good lorena

22:59:25 [Lorena] IgM=Massive

22:59:59 [Hmmmmmm] contact dermatisis is which type hypersensitivity?

23:00:47 [ash] some hiv positive people have lived for many years without opportunistic infections and without reduction in their cd4 count.due to mutations in what gene?

23:01:11 [Step_1] type 4

23:01:19 [Lorena] type IV

23:01:34 [Hmmmmmm] the env gene ash?

23:01:39 erum enters this room

23:01:41 [Hmmmmmm] yes step1 and lorena

23:01:53 [Lorena] agree with hmmm

23:02:10 [Hmmmmmm] yes ash fc portion !

23:02:24 [Step_1] 3 main roles of Ig binding to bacteria

23:02:27 [ash] the answer is nef gene

23:03:06 [Step_1] good point ash since its the down regulator (enef or enough)

23:03:22 [Lorena] thanks ash, where did you find those q's? very good ones

23:03:29 [Hmmmmmm] opsonin

23:04:09 [ash] i picked them from the text part of j a v e t z and k a p l a n and

23:04:30 [Step_1] opsonization , neutralization, complement activation for roles of Ig binding to bact

23:04:37 [Hmmmmmm] chemotatic and complement activatio?

23:04:49 [Lorena] excellent ash!

23:05:00 [Hmmmmmm] oh i forgot neutralization

23:05:13 [Step_1] good job hmmmm

23:05:16 [Step_1] A defect in phagocytosis of neutrophils owing to lack of NADPH oxidase activity or similar enzymes is indicative of what immune deficiency disease?

23:05:18 [ash] ok guys i have to go now for i havent yet had dinner.can you telll me the topics for next discussion?

23:05:31 [Hmmmmmm] patho ash

23:05:43 [ash] cgd

23:08:16 [Hmmmmmm] how bout we finish general patho and maybe till liver in sys patho?

23:08:35 [Step_1] lets do like we did last time, which is the first chapters of his lecture notes......cell injury, inflammation, immunopath, fluids and hemodynamics, acid base, nutrition, genetics, environmental path, neoplasia....then the rest on sat....dound ok>

23:09:04 [Hmmmmmm] yes step 1 agreed

23:09:12 [ash] sounds good step_1

23:09:14 [Lorena] yes

23:09:56 [drkittu] sounds good

23:10:05 [Lorena] you can post or IM

23:10:06 [Step_1] we actually covered some of that already, like immunopath is tonight, genetics before, nutrition before, acid base, etc.

23:10:14 [erum] ok

23:10:58 [Step_1] we all joined the step 1 usergroup here if you want to contact us via PM. but i think its better to communicate via the step 1 forum here so everyone can join in

23:11:00 [ash] i tried to post but i cant at value md .i tried to congratulate step_1 for his result and i couldnt

23:11:37 [ash] ok i will try that.

23:13:23 [erum] is k ap la n good 4 patho

23:13:45 [erum] sice i dont have <a target=new HREF=http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/external-search?tag=valuetheplace-20&keyword=Goljan&mode=books>Goljan</A>

23:13:59 [Hmmmmmm] graves disease what hyper sensti?

23:14:03 [erum] oops sorry

23:14:30 [Hmmmmmm] the 100 pgs, hy are in the download site

23:14:50 [Step_1] i used gol jan path, so i dont know how kap lan's is, but if you can get your hands on gol jans, i think its better. if not, brs path is excellent. then i think that kap lan path is the next best thing

23:14:56 [Hmmmmmm] if u want his audio u can find them in coolgoose.com

23:15:00 [erum] i vegot the hy

23:15:21 [Hmmmmmm] i can send u the audio too if u want

23:15:22 [Lorena] and you can download the gol jan audios

23:16:10 [Hmmmmmm] step1 did u find bacterial genetic hy? (sorry for sidetracking)

23:16:41 [Lorena] no problem...good q's!

23:17:12 [Hmmmmmm] yes lorena type 2 is correct just saw ur answer

23:17:15 [Step_1] i dont have them for bacterial genetics specifically, but maybe the biochem ones have them?

23:18:18 [Hmmmmmm] no no i mean in &lt;a target=new href=http://click.linksynergy.com/fs-bin/click?id=c97WUMRO5hY&offerid=47491.10002441&type=3 &subid=0 >Kaplan&lt;/a><IMG border=0 width=1 height=1 src=http://ad.linksynergy.com/fs-bin/show?id=c97WUMRO5hY&bids=47491.10002441&type=3&sub id=0 > book (bacterial genetics is it hy) cuz there like 30 pgs and i dont have too much time to memorize em all

23:18:20 [Step_1] like the immuno high yields are mixed with micro and titled "micro high yields"

23:18:32 [Hmmmmmm] whoops sorry

23:18:56 [Step_1] oh, sorry i misunderstood

23:19:27 [Hmmmmmm] np

23:19:29 [Lorena] besides it is complicated , k a pl an dones explian well in that section there of bacterial genetics

23:19:38 erum enters this room

23:20:10 [Hmmmmmm] i know lorena thats my problem

23:20:24 [Hmmmmmm] i cant understand it and have no time

23:20:43 [Hmmmmmm] im giving exam sept 24

23:21:09 [Hmmmmmm] i wana save my one month starting aug 24 for only mcq and review

23:22:52 [Lorena] is it bacteruial genetics a High Yield topic in the exam step 1?

23:23:07 [Hmmmmmm] sure erum do u have any messenger? give me any id u dont have to give me ur personal one ill give u them one by one

23:23:15 [erum] but 4 patho im also using brs

23:24:07 [Hmmmmmm] lorena have u done vid lecs?

23:24:11 [Step_1] i think its important to know, but it depends on how much time you have. there are things that are more high yield than that, but i wouldnt ignore it altogether

23:24:11 [erum] n afraid to use any new material @this point

23:24:16 [Hmmmmmm] and whens ur exam?

23:24:43 [Lorena] yes , i did k apl an video lectures

23:24:56 [Hmmmmmm] erum i havent done &lt;a target=new HREF=http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/external-search?tag=valuetheplace-20&keyword=Goljan&mode=books>Goljan&lt;/A> yet either but i heard it good after uve done all subjects cuz its intergrative

23:29:53 [Lorena] but i am happy i am studying again and you guys help me a lot withy these chats

23:30:19 [Hmmmmmm] no step 1 i asked doc he increased the upload limit but my computer isnt cooperating

23:30:44 [Hmmmmmm] same here lorena

23:31:13 [erum] me too had to take 2 months break

23:31:44 [Lorena] ok guys, lets study

23:34:53 [Hmmmmmm] mch1

23:35:06 [Step_1] thanks for reminding me

23:35:29 [Lorena] oh ok , hope everything is fine

23:35:36 [Step_1] class I MHC proteins is correct, only mature RBCs wont have them because non-nucleated

23:35:39 [Hmmmmmm] which mhc is exogenus and endogenus antigen?

23:35:51 [Hmmmmmm] and platelets rite?

23:36:29 [Step_1] MHC II is eXogenous (take the II and cross them into an X)

23:36:51 [Hmmmmmm] nice pneumonic

23:37:09 [Lorena] you are the best

23:37:34 [Step_1] yes hmmmm, PLTs have class I even though non-nucleated...its the exception

23:38:12 [erum] agree with step 1

23:38:38 [Hmmmmmm] is b-cell an apc?

23:38:55 [Hmmmmmm] is t-cell an apc?

23:40:43 [Hmmmmmm] knock knock anyone there?

23:40:50 [Lorena] sorry

23:40:59 [Lorena] b cells are

23:41:07 [Lorena] t cells aren't .?

23:41:09 [Hmmmmmm] np

23:41:27 [Hmmmmmm] yes

23:41:44 [Step_1] Macrophages. 2) Dendritic cells. 3) B cells

23:41:58 [Step_1] are the 3 types of APCs

23:42:15 [Lorena] ok

23:42:40 [Hmmmmmm] looks like ppl are sleepy ill must be off as well its late

23:43:06 [Step_1] Anaphylaxis, asthma, or local wheal and flare are possible manifestations of which type of hypersensitivity?

23:43:21 [Lorena] type 1

23:43:23 [Hmmmmmm] type 1

23:43:34 [erum] type1

23:43:39 [Step_1] Type I is correct...very good

23:43:52 [Hmmmmmm] ok ppl thanks for a very informative chat, will see you all on wednesday

23:43:59 [Step_1] Autoimmune hemolytic anemia, Rh disease (erythroblastosis fetalis), and Goodpasture's syndrome are examples of what kind of hypersensitivity reaction?

23:44:14 [Lorena] type 2

23:44:16 [Hmmmmmm] type 2?

23:44:27 [erum] 2

23:44:36 [Hmmmmmm] erum> email me whenever u want the filez

23:44:38 [Step_1] type II hypersensitivity is correct...you all are on a role

23:45:02 [Lorena] purpose of immunotherapy in allergies?

23:45:21 [erum] ok i wi ll tx again

23:45:56 [Step_1] desensitisation??

23:45:56 [Lorena] injecting the ag in small amounts results in...? regarding th1, and Th2

23:46:06 [Lorena] yes

23:46:32 [erum] desensitization

23:46:34 [Step_1] Helper T cells have CD(?) which binds to class (?) MHC on antigen-presenting cells.

23:46:54 [Lorena] the purpose is to switch Th2 to Th1 type so decrease igE production

23:47:08 [erum] 8 1

23:47:26 [Lorena] cd4 which binds to MHC 2

23:47:51 [Step_1] it always equals 8, so 4 x 2 = 8 means CD4 is MHC 2. 8 x 1 = 8 so CD8 is MHC 1 .

23:48:46 [Step_1] and the Helper T cell is CD4.

23:48:49 [erum] cytotoxic nhelper 4 1

23:49:09 [Step_1] so the answer is 4 and 1

23:49:24 [erum] i mean 8 1 cytotoxic

23:49:58 [erum] n helper 4 1

23:50:10 [Step_1] thats right erum

23:50:39 [Step_1] How does Bruton's agammaglobulinemia usually present?

23:51:17 [Lorena] recurrent pyogenic infections ,no B cells circulating

23:51:31 [erum] 6 mon old with inf

23:51:48 [Lorena] respiratory infections ,very low Ig

23:52:00 [Step_1] Brutons is the 3 ** (Boys, Brutons, B cells). presents as bacterial infections in boys after about 6 months of age, when levels of maternal IgG antibody decline. good job!

23:52:05 [erum] when moms igg is gone

23:52:50 [Step_1] In what T-cell deficiency do the thymus and parathyroids fail to develop owing to failure of development of the 3rd and 4th pharyngeal pouches?

23:53:12 [Lorena] diGeorge

23:53:30 [erum] di george

23:53:41 [Step_1] Thymic aplasia (DiGeorge syndrome)....great!

23:54:19 [erum] thymic tcell tetany

23:54:28 [erum] 3 t

23:54:31 [Step_1] sorry i'm going fast, but running out of time......stop me whenever you have question or want to stop

23:54:41 [Step_1] good one erum

23:54:55 [Step_1] Sensitized T lymphocytes encounter antigen and then release lymphokines which leads to macrophage activation' in what hypersensitivity reaction?

23:55:04 [erum] tx

23:56:01 [Step_1] that would be type 4 HS

23:56:10 [erum] delayed

23:56:16 [Lorena] i see

23:56:24 [Step_1] i think this one might be easier

23:56:25 [erum] cell mediated

23:56:27 [Step_1] TB skin test, transplant rejection, and contact dermatitis are examples of what type of hypersensitivity reaction?

23:56:29 [Lorena] thanks

23:56:40 [Lorena] type 4

23:56:42 [erum] pe 4

23:57:25 [Step_1] the T cell, lmphokine and macrophage thing was also part of actual question, so try to go over that concept

23:57:30 [Step_1] yep type 4

23:57:50 [Lorena]

23:58:04 [Step_1] The 3 kinds of MHC class I genes are…? what about The 3 kinds of MHC class II genes are…?

23:59:13 [erum] abc

23:59:23 [Lorena] class II DP, DQ DR

23:59:32 [erum] dr dq dp

00:00:01 [Step_1] A, B, and C for MHC 1 because you "learn your ABCs in 1st grade. DP, DQ, DR are MHC2 because D stands for "Dos" which is "two" in spanish.

00:00:06 [Step_1] good job

00:01:03 [Step_1] ok, i think our time is up

00:01:11 [Lorena]
