21:06:49 [mimo] hi ash

21:07:08 [ash] wet gangrene has liquefactive necrosis

21:07:18 [Step_1] psammoma bodies found in serous cystadenocarcinoma of ovary, papillary adenocarcinoma of thyroid, memingioma, and mesothelioma

21:07:21 [Hmmmmmm] step1 ans please

21:07:30 [ash] what are mallory bodies made of?

21:07:54 [Hmmmmmm] thanks step1

21:07:58 [Lorena] aggregates of intermediate filaments of prekeratin

21:08:00 [mimo] eosinophilic cytoplasmic inclusion bodies

21:08:08 [hutals] intermediate filaments??

21:08:31 [Hmmmmmm] agree with lorena

21:08:36 [ash] hutals which intermediate filaments?

21:08:37 [Lorena] in hepatocytes

21:08:48 [ash] lorena right

21:08:53 [mimo] ok

21:09:40 [hutals] i was luck to get intermediate filaments....you mean theres different kinds??

21:09:40 [Lorena] i'll post a list of all the "bodies" i have read about....

21:09:53 [ash] phytohemaglutinins for t cells are staph. a for b-cells.what are they?

21:10:02 upman enters this room

21:10:21 [Step_1] hi upman

21:10:26 [ash] yes hutals keratin,vimentin,desmin,neurofilaments etc

21:10:27 [Lorena] hi upman

21:10:36 [ash] hi upman

21:10:40 [Hmmmmmm] hi upman

21:10:53 [upman] hello everybody.....i will mostly be here as if i wasnt here ; )

21:11:03 [Hmmmmmm] ash i didnt get ur question?

21:11:23 [mimo] hi upman

21:11:37 [hutals] is it keratin filaments?

21:12:24 [ash] what are phytohemaglutinins and staphylococcus a used for in assay with t and b lymphocytes?

21:12:35 [hutals] no prob upman, join in whenever you feel comfortable

21:13:29 [Hmmmmmm] no idea

21:13:35 [Lorena] i dont know ash......ans?

21:14:40 [Step_1] name some factors that left shift the O2 dissosiation curve. Name the ones that right shift.

21:15:02 [ash] they are used as mitogens.lymphocytes are stimulated to divide(will have increased uptake of tritiated thymidine )if they are functional

21:15:14 [Hmmmmmm] a child has fever thrombocytopenia and irritabity.... he had diahrrhea 2 weeks ago? name the cause?

21:15:29 [Hmmmmmm] ty ash

21:15:49 [Lorena] thanks ash

21:16:00 [Hmmmmmm] right shift is increase height, 2,3DPG

21:16:26 [ash] left_low 23 bpg,c.o.,meth hb,hbf,low temperature,high ph

21:16:46 [Lorena] agree with ash and hmmmm

21:17:24 [ash] wiscott aldrich?

21:18:05 [Lorena] igM is low

21:18:12 [Step_1] left shift is decreased 2,3 BPG, CO metHb, HbF, hypothermia, alkalosis. Right shift is acidosis, fever, inc BPG, high altitiude. Just think of excercising muscle for right shift which readily releases O2 into blood, so low pH (lactic acidosis) and high CO2, high BPG from high glycolysis,high temp

21:18:25 [Lorena] sorry i thought it was a q's

21:18:34 [ash] hmmmmmm is the ans wiscott aldrich?

21:18:41 [Hmmmmmm] no HUS and the organism was Ecoli ( can remmeber the number)

22:54:19 [hutals] hey grillovillegas, great to have you here with us

22:54:43 [hutals] what do you mean in development?

22:54:51 [grillovillegas] thanks man ... thanks ..... finally i find a real time forum for USMLE ...step1

22:54:51 [ash] what has mammography done to the incidence of breast ca.?

22:55:21 [ash] hutals i mean the first stage

22:55:27 [acestep1] k

22:55:33 [erum] DYSPLASIA

22:55:35 [kmonica26] increased?

22:55:36 [hutals] it is dysplasia

22:55:49 [acestep1] it has helped us in screening teh ba ca pts

22:56:00 [ash] no hutals it is hyperplasia

22:56:02 [erum] NO EFFECT ON INCIDENCE

22:56:03 [Lorena] mamography has helped in the early dx

22:56:09 [drkittu] increases

22:56:10 [ash] monica right

22:56:18 [acestep1] i mean early detection

22:56:19 [hutals] ash, mamography has increased the incidence because now we know about it sooner

22:56:35 [ash] it has increased the incidence

22:56:56 [ash] what has pap smear done to ca, cervix incidence?

22:57:20 [amen] decresed incidence

22:57:22 [acestep1] inc

22:57:38 [Lorena] decreased

22:57:39 [hutals] decreased i think because we catch it before it becomes full blown cancer

22:57:48 [ash] good amen. why?

22:57:51 [erum] DECREASE INCIDENCE

22:58:00 [Lorena] agree with hutals

22:58:04 [grillovillegas] Hi people .... hiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii i want to know everything about the usmle secrets

22:58:08 [ash] right pap smear detects dysplasia

22:58:16 [amen] also incresed incidence of precancer

22:58:33 [acestep1] ic

22:58:40 [ash] what about stool guiac test?

22:58:40 [hutals] ash, i knew that dysplasia was in my head for something....just couldnt figure out what it was

22:58:48 [patho] the person came from rocky mountains,the water there is rich in nitrates and nitrites,these are oxidising agents and they oxidise hemoglobin,iron becomes +# instead of +@,so eventhough we give 100% O2 the person is still cyanotic then it is metHB ,treatment is with iv methylene blue,ancillary treat

22:59:04 [Lorena] therefore i asume it has increased incidence of cervical dysplasia but decreased cervical cancer incidence

22:59:05 [ash] thanx patho

22:59:10 kiranadi enters this room

22:59:17 [amen] ash stool guaic test for colon ca

23:00:09 [erum] what bout polycythemia sec. to hypoxia

23:00:26 [erum] causing duskiness

23:00:29 [acestep1] hey patho isnt teh meth hb method used 2 tx na nitroprusside tx as well

23:00:39 [hutals] grillovillegas, you might get better answers if you ask in the forum

23:00:49 [Lorena] high altitudes, polycithemia

23:00:59 [hutals] but i think there are better books available that that

23:01:48 [ash] guaiac test has reduced the incidence of colon ca.

23:11:42 [amen] it's hormone replacement therapy

23:11:43 [kmonica26] Bye guys...

23:12:18 [crusher] i think excess of estrogen either OCp form or any other cause

23:12:25 [amen] while in the menopausal it's obessity all these cos of unopposed estrogen

23:12:52 [Lorena] ERT , not hormone replacement therapy ....estrogen with no oposition of progesterone

23:14:25 [Step_1] agree, its estrogen. if you give progesterone with the estrogen than the chances decrease

23:15:37 [Step_1] How is prostatic adenocarcinoma most commonly diagnosed?

23:16:05 [erum] 18yrs old with breast lump what test

23:16:52 [hutals] not a mamogram because too young

23:17:04 [hutals] rectal exam for step 1 question

23:17:53 [hutals] maybe ultrasound or biopsy?

23:17:54 [crusher] digital rectal exam,,most conveniet and ist step

23:18:00 [erum] biopsy

23:18:04 [Lorena] agree rectal exam

23:18:36 [crusher] no test may be fibroadenoma..

23:19:00 [erum] ultrasound

23:19:12 [Step_1] always think cheap for treatment. so Digital rectal exam (detect hard nodule) first, then by prostate biopsy

23:19:38 [Lorena] i would go for ultrasound first

23:19:56 [erum] right

23:20:16 [hutals] In which age group is prostatic adenocarcinoma most common?

23:20:24 [Lorena] agree with step 1, think cheap and no invasive first

23:20:30 [erum] what will the ultrasound show

23:20:49 [Step_1] >50

23:21:33 [hutals] ultrasound can show if cystic or solid

23:22:01 [hutals] yep, Men over the age of 50

23:22:51 [Step_1] name most common primary brain tumors in children? in adults?

23:23:26 [erum] astrocytoma4 kids

23:52:19 [hutals] thanks

23:52:50 [hutals] ok, getting close to quitting time, anything specific that anyone wants to cover?

23:53:19 [Step_1] thats true, almost at the end

23:54:02 [Step_1] i think we covered alot tonight, so unless anyone has anything else, i think we should call it a night

23:54:12 [crusher] i think i missed the myeloperoxidases system Q,s

23:54:37 [Lorena] i'll have to read the trabnscript since i lost my conection for a long time

23:54:57 [crusher] but anyway i will read the transcript

23:55:36 [Lorena] i practically missed the entire chat tonight

23:55:38 [Step_1] i mentioned the pt with current bacterial infections with staph aureus who had a negative NBT dye test (real question). what does this indicate and what diagnosis?

23:55:59 [Step_1] as far as MPO system

23:56:32 [crusher] CGD of child hood and lacking NADPH oxidases enzyme

23:56:40 [Lorena] Chronic granulomatous d.

23:56:52 [Lorena] yes

23:57:26 [Step_1] i had mentioned that it was kinda tricky because "negative" is usually a good thing in medicine except here. negative test indicateds absent resp burst most likely from absent of NADPH oxidase (CGD)

23:57:50 [crusher] he is unable to make bleech right step1..as staph aures is catalase and coagulase pos.

23:58:22 [Step_1] right, so pts can kill strep, but not staph aureus

23:59:26 [vandan_15] when u guys r taking step 1.step,lorena and crshr..

23:59:31 [Lorena] he can make bleach because he still has myeloperoxidase ....

23:59:36 [crusher] roxinata once put some Q,s which were from NB those were good practice.do someone still have ,em

23:59:39 [Step_1] funny because the question had stuff like, PPD negative, NBT negative, etc and kinda just hid it in there
