20:02:30 [Hmmmmmm] hey step1 i had a quetions

20:02:33 [calender] hi hmmmmmm

20:02:34 [Step_1] hi sriramv

20:02:37 Brams enters this room

20:03:02 [Roxanita] ok, what chapters are we doing today?

20:03:04 [Step_1] i appreciate all of your help too....i would never have made it if it weren't for all of you

20:03:07 [Hmmmmmm] ooops

20:03:11 NicoToscani enters this room

20:03:14 [Hmmmmmm] im sorry sorry



20:03:32 [Step_1] hi brams and nico

20:03:35 medfan enters this room

20:03:47 [sriramv] hi step_!

20:03:49 [Hmmmmmm] yeah rox i forgot havent chatted for a while

20:03:49 lijun enters this room



20:04:06 [Step_1] hi medfan and lijun

20:04:26 [Brams] Hi Everybody...first time here..

20:04:27 [Step_1] its great to see all the new faces....this should be a great group

20:04:29 [Roxanita] I was doing some other stuff, nothing to do with this, so it's a new start for me

20:04:47 [NicoToscani] hello

20:04:51 [Roxanita] ok, we are 10 now

20:04:55 [Hmmmmmm] anyways ill rerite... do u think we.bpr3p and fir.aid good for pharam???? (i know it skips antimcriobioals)

20:05:05 [Roxanita] Hi NicoToscani? italian?

20:05:06 [Step_1] welcome brams, you might want to pick a brighter color from rainbow on right....easier to read text that way

20:05:25 [medfan] hi, i'm new to this. i hope you don't mind if i just observe for now. thanks

20:05:46 [Roxanita] welcome medfan

20:06:00 [Step_1] feel free to observe until you feel comfortable and jump in whenever you want

20:06:35 [Step_1] i think kap lan notes in addition to those would be best for completeness

20:06:36 [Brams] OH THANKS step_1..guess I am visible now..

20:06:45 [medfan] thanks

20:06:47 [Hmmmmmm] ok thanks

20:07:04 [Step_1] much better...thanks

20:07:14 [Step_1] Rox, we'll follow your lead

20:07:17 [Brams] medfan.even i am new as well lets watch togeather okie..: )

20:07:18 [NicoToscani] Roxanita> hey. nah, just picked the name from steven seagal's movie, Above the Law

20:07:40 [Roxanita] nice

20:07:42 [Hmmmmmm] but webpr3p doesnt miss antyhing too important rite?? i mean yes it misses km. vmax etc etc.. and pharmacodynamic but nothing too drastic rite?

20:08:05 [Hmmmmmm] hi brams, lijun, medfan, nicotoscani, sriramv

20:08:21 [NicoToscani] Hmmmmmm> hey

20:08:25 [Roxanita] Ok, we are within the 10 minutes of Confidence Interval, shall we start ?

20:08:42 [Hmmmmmm] yeah

20:08:47 [Step_1] web prep is meant to hit the important concepts while excluding the details....its probably enough, but you might need a reference if relying only on that

20:08:51 [sriramv] hi hmmmmmm

20:09:05 [Hmmmmmm] yes thanks step1

20:09:12 [Step_1] sure.

20:09:46 [Hmmmmmm] ready when u are rox

20:10:13 [Hmmmmmm] what is the formula for specificity

20:10:29 madalasa enters this room

20:10:35 [Step_1] TN / TN+FP

20:10:44 [calender] TN/TN+FP

20:10:47 [Step_1] hi madalasa

20:11:02 [hutals] tn / tn+fp

20:11:03 [madalasa] Hi

20:11:07 [calender] TELLS ABOUT HEALTHY PEOPLE

20:11:11 [Roxanita] Specificity

20:11:14 [Hmmmmmm] very good all

20:11:23 [Hmmmmmm] and sensitivity?

20:11:38 [Step_1] "sensitive people get sick" so sensitivity is for the diseased people

20:11:51 [Hmmmmmm] yes calendar tells bout healthy ppl

20:12:06 [Roxanita] TP/TP + FN, identifying cases of disease

20:12:13 [madalasa] TP/TP+FN

20:12:13 [Hmmmmmm] very good

20:12:14 [Step_1] special people are healthy, so specificity tells about healthy

20:12:16 [NicoToscani] good one step_1

20:12:34 [Step_1] TP/TP+FN

20:12:37 [Roxanita] SPECIFICITY= SPECIal healthy people

20:12:51 [calender] TP/TP+FN is for sensitivity

20:12:55 [Hmmmmmm] haha great pneumonic step1 (pseudomneumic)

20:13:32 [Hmmmmmm] very good tp /(tp +fn) remember teh brackets

20:13:37 [Roxanita] What is the most common multiply used for US disease Rates?

20:13:43 [Step_1] mneumonics got me through basic sciences....so don't mind me....I'll be posting a bunch

20:14:03 [Brams] Thanks Step_1..

20:14:08 [madalasa] cool

20:14:40 [Step_1] do you mean denominator Rox?

20:14:58 [madalasa] 100,000

20:15:06 [Hmmmmmm] incidence X duration?

20:15:10 [Step_1] 100,000 if thats what you mean

20:15:17 [Roxanita] no, the multiply. used by the CDC in Atlanta

20:15:18 [madalasa] Prevalence

20:15:33 Perudoc enters this room

20:15:53 [Step_1] agree, its prevalence

20:16:02 [Step_1] hi perudoc

20:16:07 [Hmmmmmm] yep

20:16:11 [Step_1] not sure Rox?

20:16:20 [Perudoc] hi step 1

20:16:26 [Hmmmmmm] ans plez

20:16:28 [Roxanita] about what?

20:16:43 [Hmmmmmm] ur q

20:16:57 [hutals] your question about the multiple used by CDC

20:17:03 [Perudoc] how can I scroll down to see the beginning of the chat?

20:17:04 [Roxanita] In US most diseases rates are under what rate?

20:17:20 [madalasa] 50/100,000

20:17:42 [Roxanita] good

20:17:47 [calender] Formulas for + and - predictive values?

20:17:49 [Hmmmmmm] actual cases/potential cases rox?

20:17:49 [Step_1] under 50/100,000 according to Dr. Daugherty

20:18:02 [Roxanita] that is correct

20:18:28 [Step_1] perudoc, the transcript will be posted later in the step 1 forum

20:18:30 [Roxanita] INCIDENCE: INComing cases

20:18:51 [Step_1] perudoc, you might want to pick a brighter color from rainbow on right

20:19:26 [Step_1] also "incidence are the new incidents"

20:19:27 [Roxanita] What is Attack Rate?

20:19:35 [Hmmmmmm] for positive predictive value i remember all ps (cuz positive) so TP/TP+FP

20:19:37 [Perudoc] ok step 1, gracias

20:19:55 [Hmmmmmm] for negative predictive values i remember all ns (cuz negative) so TN/TN +FN

20:19:59 [Step_1] thats pero...much better

20:19:59 [Brams] Web Prep " Trues on Top Always"..

20:20:01 [Roxanita] and for Negative Predicitve value all negative

20:20:04 [calender] yes..hmmmmmm

20:20:34 [madalasa] whats secondary disease prevention?

20:20:36 [Roxanita] Attack Rate?

20:20:50 [Step_1] for once, the formula actually makes sense....all pos with pos pred value and all neg with neg pred value

20:22:00 [Hmmmmmm] attack rate is incidence rite?

20:22:01 [hutals] Identifying and treating people with established disease is secondary

20:22:22 [Roxanita] How do you differentiate Point prevalence from Period Prevalence?

20:22:54 [madalasa] no of new cases due to particular cause ....attack rate

20:23:12 [madalasa] Poiint prevalence refers to certain point of time

20:23:12 [Hmmmmmm] ty madalasa

20:23:12 [Roxanita] Attack rate is subtype of Incidence right, but we shrick the Denominator by some known exposure

20:23:31 [Roxanita] shrink the D

20:23:38 [Step_1] point prev is at specified point in time while period prev is during specified period of time

20:23:47 [Brams] yes..

20:24:02 [madalasa] period during certain period of time

20:24:18 [Hmmmmmm] makes sense

20:24:29 [Roxanita] Madalasa could you explain secondary disease prevention?

20:25:16 [Step_1] I'll give scenerios and you tell me how they affect Incidence and prevalence.....New iffective treatment initiated?

20:25:20 [calender] A pt. got + HIV test and asks what are the chances that my + HIV test is really correct.....which value you will use here?

20:25:27 [Roxanita] which one is bigger, Point or Period Prevalence?

20:25:47 [hutals] incidence would be same, but prevalence would be lower

20:25:50 [madalasa] Period is bigger

20:25:59 [Brams] incidence remains same..prevalance decrease

20:26:06 [Hmmmmmm] calendar sensitivity?

20:26:20 [Roxanita] PPV

20:26:25 [calender] PPV

20:26:27 [Step_1] positive predictive value calendar??

20:26:34 [hutals] ppv

20:26:47 [calender] ya..

20:27:05 [Step_1] yes, incidence N, prevalence decreases....very good

20:27:06 [madalasa] Roxanita...Secondary disease prevention is early detection of disease ex.Pap smear

20:27:17 [Hmmmmmm] agree bout incidence same prev decrease

20:27:52 [Step_1] what about if new vaccine?

20:28:13 [Roxanita] we have to remember this to make the correlation: PID

20:28:21 [Brams] both decrease..

20:28:21 [hutals] both incidence and prevalence lowered

20:28:22 [Hmmmmmm] incidence decrease prevalance decresae

20:28:23 [Roxanita] P= I x D

20:28:29 [madalasa] both decreases

20:28:43 [Step_1] good one Rox

20:28:54 [Roxanita] If Incidence increases ---> prevalence increases; if the time is longer--->prevalence increases

20:29:14 [Step_1] yes, both decrease because less new cases with vaccine and less total cases

20:29:28 [Roxanita] x.e. new vaccine: I decr---> Prev decr

20:29:45 [Hmmmmmm] ty rox

20:30:03 [NicoToscani] ditto

20:30:14 [Roxanita] remember PID , painful but helps on this

20:30:21 [Step_1] what about long term survival rates for the disease increasing?

20:30:49 [Roxanita] same thing... Duration increases---> Prev increases

20:30:49 [madalasa] incidence No change

20:30:50 [hutals] incidence same, prevalence inc

20:31:00 [madalasa] Increased prevalence

20:31:01 [Hmmmmmm] agree with huttals

20:31:03 [Roxanita] P= I x D

20:31:08 [Brams] correct..

20:31:31 [Step_1] this is one of the only cases where prevalence actually increases....great job everyone

20:32:33 [Roxanita] that's why Faugherty said, treating chronic patients we increase the prevalence of those diseases

20:32:36 [madalasa] what happens to specificity and sensitivity with change in population?

20:32:38 [Roxanita] Daugherty

20:33:10 [madalasa] i mean increase or decreae in number of population

20:33:17 [Roxanita] nothing

20:33:22 ash enters this room

20:33:34 [madalasa] cool right

20:33:36 [ash] hi all

20:33:48 [Hmmmmmm] hey ash

20:34:03 [calender] yep..nothing.bec. it has nothing to do with population

20:34:03 [ash] hi

20:34:27 [Step_1] hi ash

20:34:27 [NicoToscani] calender> thx 4 clarifying

20:34:34 [hutals] hey ask

20:34:34 [madalasa] what happens to Positive predictive value with increaee in population

20:34:41 [hutals] i mean ash

20:34:44 [Hmmmmmm] nothing

20:34:59 [calender] nothing

20:35:02 [ash] increases

20:35:25 rozyaurora enters this room

20:35:27 [ash] i hope you meant increase in prevalence

20:35:32 [calender] how?

20:36:00 [Step_1] hi rozt

20:36:15 [madalasa] ash can you explain how

20:36:28 [hutals] hey rozyaurora

20:36:32 [Hmmmmmm] madalasa whats the ans?

20:36:39 [ash] when prevalence of a disease increases in a population then the likelyhood of a positive test being positive increases

20:36:48 [Brams] Is increase in Population nad prevalance is one and the same???

20:36:50 kiranadi enters this room

20:37:15 [Step_1] hi kirandi

20:37:19 [madalasa] sorry its my fault its increaee in prevalence

20:37:23 [ash] increase in prevalence and increase in population is not same

20:37:38 [madalasa] so increase in PPV

20:37:42 [Step_1] what type of bias when pts seem to live longer with the disease after it is uncovered by a screening test, but actually do not?

20:37:44 [ash] but i assumed she meant increase in prevalence

20:37:52 [Brams] Thanks ash..and madalasa

20:37:53 [madalasa] yes ash you are right

20:38:06 [Roxanita] ok, then PPV increases?

20:38:25 [Brams] Lead time bias..

20:38:36 [hutals] lead time bias

20:38:39 [ash] with a screening test it is just found earlier and hence false increase in life

20:38:49 [ash] so lead time bias

20:38:56 [Roxanita] If prevalence Increases: PPV increases and NPV decreases

20:39:01 [ash] yes ppv increases

20:39:09 [Hmmmmmm] agree

20:39:09 [madalasa] Exactly

20:39:19 [Step_1] yes, this is lead time bias where they die at the same time, but we just knew about it sooner

20:39:40 [calender] For comparing 2 means ,which tests to use?

20:39:49 [kiranadi] hi everybody

20:40:05 [rozyaurora] t test

20:40:09 [Hmmmmmm] hey kiran

20:40:13 [kiranadi] am i too late to join?

20:40:16 [ash] hi kiranadi

20:40:17 [madalasa] T test I guess

20:40:17 [NicoToscani] kiranadi> hey k

20:40:22 [ash] nope

20:40:25 [Step_1] T test

20:40:32 [Roxanita] Hi Kiranadi

20:40:49 [Brams] Wut is T test?

20:40:50 [Step_1] Mneumonic is "Mr T is mean" so T test is for means

20:40:57 [ash] for 2 means t test

20:41:16 [calender] yes..

20:41:17 [Roxanita] that's a good one step 1

20:41:21 [hutals] hey kirandi

20:41:29 [calender] For diff. bet. 3 or >?

20:41:32 [kiranadi] hi

20:41:37 [NicoToscani] yea, thx step

20:41:56 [ash] what exact test for bp in a group and bp in the same group after giving them a drug?

20:42:02 [Hmmmmmm] ty

20:42:07 [Brams] Good one..: )

20:42:11 [ash] trust step

20:42:38 [ash] trust step_1 to come up with a good pneumonic

20:42:47 [calender] To compare % or frequencies in sample...which test?

20:43:05 [Step_1] thanks ash....i think i borrowed that one from somewhere....but more to come

20:43:24 [ash] pearson?

20:43:27 [rozyaurora] anova test for 3/>

20:43:37 [kiranadi] yup

20:43:40 [Step_1] chi squared

20:43:40 [madalasa] Anova'

20:43:44 [ash] i am waiting step_1

20:43:48 [calender] yep

20:43:59 [calender] right step1

20:44:38 [rozyaurora] for fre chi sq

20:44:55 [Roxanita] Chi Square X2 checks difference between 2 or more %

20:44:57 [Hmmmmmm] agree

20:45:08 [Step_1] ANOVA is ANalysis Of Variance of 3 or more variables

20:45:25 [madalasa] yup

20:45:51 [ash] what is spearman correlation?

20:46:35 [Brams] Speraman or pearson???

20:46:42 [Roxanita] How many pts do you need to treat to prevent one case if the Incidence of certain disease is 1/1000 ?

20:46:51 [ash] spearman?

20:47:53 [hutals] i think i'm getting set up for a trick question, but its either 1 or 1000??

20:48:13 [Brams] I rhink it is one..incidence..

20:48:17 [madalasa] spearman compares two ordinal level variables

20:48:38 timi enters this room

20:48:38 [ash] roxanita dont we need the duration for this one?

20:48:42 [madalasa] 1000

20:48:49 [Step_1] or none if incidence has nothing to do with treatment

20:48:52 [ash] good madalasa

20:49:07 [Roxanita] Here is one I got at Live Lect but it's not on the videos. Daugherty said. the NNT Number Needed to treat is the inverse of the Incidence

20:49:07 [ash] yeah step_1

20:49:54 [ash] maybe 1 is the ans as it is to prevent 1 case

20:49:59 [Roxanita] so if The Incidence is 1/1000, then the NNT would be 1000/1 ; so treating 1000 you can be sure that you are only preventing 1 case

20:50:18 [calender] hey Rox.it is in videos...i heard this but couldn't recall..!!

20:50:22 [ash] oh that was good

20:50:28 [madalasa] cooooooooool

20:50:29 [calender] you are right

20:50:42 [Step_1] good one Rox

20:50:51 [Roxanita] oh good then

20:50:55 [Step_1] hi timi

20:51:28 [Brams] Yeah..i got it..Thanks Roxanita

20:52:07 [Step_1] this was a real one, so no answer is provided. experiment described where x number were randomly selected to take medication while y number were chosen to take placebo. why will results be biased?

20:52:10 [Roxanita] Morbidity rate has to do with incid or prev?

20:52:15 [Roxanita] Mortality rate has to do with?

20:52:15 [ash] i am still confused shouldnt it be a prevention like a vaccine rather than treatment?

20:52:38 [timi] hi, i have to take some time to fit in the discussion

20:53:17 [Step_1] it would need to be assumed that it's a communicable disease if treatment would effect the incidence I think

20:53:19 [ash] morbidity -both .mortality only incidencve

20:53:30 [kiranadi] morbidity is asso with prev

20:53:30 [Roxanita] uhu

20:53:46 [kiranadi] mortality with both

20:53:56 [Step_1] take your time timi and jump in whenever comfortable or sit back and observe....as long as you're learning

20:54:57 [timi] thanks i think i will just try to understand you guys are talking way above my head for sure!!!!

20:55:27 [kiranadi] choose some other color timi so that its visible

20:55:32 [NicoToscani] timi> i'm right with ya

20:55:33 [rozyaurora] selection bias

20:55:42 [calender] What is Meta-Analysis?

20:56:05 [timi] ok how about this?

20:56:10 [madalasa] combining results of many studoes

20:56:11 [Step_1] timi, we've mostly read whatever subject on the schedule from mostly the same source (kap=lan)....not that we're smart...we just recently studied the same material

20:56:35 [timi] oops

20:56:41 [Roxanita] The prevalence of a disease is half as great in town A than it is in town B, but the incidence of the disease is no different in town A than it is in town B. Which of the following best explains these findings?

20:56:51 [kiranadi] thanks timi

20:56:56 [ash] among case fatality rate and proportional mortality rate which is important for public health and which is imp. for physicians?

20:57:16 [Roxanita] A)The case fatality rate is twice as high in town A. B)The duration of the disease is twice as long in town B. C)The number of new cases in town A is twice as many as those in town B. D) People in town A use medical care facilities half as often as those in town B.

20:57:18 [Step_1] also, some of us are on 1st reading, others on 2nd or 3rd, so we all help each other

20:57:34 nne enters this room

20:57:38 [Roxanita] E)The proportion of asymptomatic cases is twice as much in town B than in town A

20:57:40 [ash] town a has more deaths due to the disease

20:58:09 [Brams] Physician-case, public-proportional

20:58:09 [madalasa] Case fatality for physicians and PMR for Public Health

20:58:21 [Roxanita] that question is from NBME 2004 , it doesn't have an answer.

20:58:25 [Step_1] ans to calendar question is pooling data from several studies to achieve greater statistical power

20:58:29 [ash] right brams

20:58:34 [Step_1] hi nne

20:58:39 [ash] right madalasa

20:58:41 [calender] right step1

20:58:56 [rozyaurora] b

20:59:06 [timi] thanks step_1 for def os meta analysis

20:59:15 [Roxanita] I will post the questions and we can discuss them in the forum. Is that fine?

20:59:40 [madalasa] that would be nice

20:59:55 [Brams] yes..we can ponder again and again..

21:00:01 [ash] sure

21:00:01 [kiranadi] yup

21:00:13 [Roxanita] As you know is good to review those questions cause similar ones come on the real exam

21:00:18 [calender] good idea

21:00:32 [Step_1] yes, seems like a good thinking question.....great one rox

21:01:02 [ash] what is the inference of 2 lines on a scatterplot?

21:01:17 [Brams] Foe me it looks like a IQ test question..: (

21:02:23 [Brams] Sorry I am referring to previous question from Roxanita,,

21:03:08 [madalasa] I don't understand you Q, Ash

21:03:19 [Roxanita] 2 lines?

21:03:27 [timi] ash,,i am blown off!!

21:03:37 [calender] for analysis of cohort study which tets to use?

21:03:40 [Brams] Wut is scatterplot..by the way???

21:03:47 [calender] tests

21:04:08 [timi] scatterplot!! no idea?

21:04:15 [madalasa] Calendar Relative Risk , attributable risk

21:04:21 [ash] in a scatterplot if you get 2 lines or an angle or crossed lines what will you conclude?

21:04:44 crusher enters this room

21:04:53 [calender] rt. madalsa

21:05:00 [crusher] hi everyone

21:05:10 [timi] relative risk for cohort study

21:05:19 [Brams] is it Zero correlation..????

21:05:32 [madalasa] No correlation

21:05:41 [Step_1] hi crusher

21:05:52 [Roxanita] Hi Crusher

21:05:52 [hutals] hey crush

21:05:54 [ash] the answer should be -no correlation as we are looking for linear correlation in a scatterplot and if you get some odd shapes it will be no correlation

21:05:59 [NicoToscani] or attributable risk right?

21:06:16 [timi] cohort study is the best predictor of causality

21:06:19 [ash] right brams and madalasa

21:06:34 [ash] hi crusher

21:06:50 [calender] RR: How much more likely and AR: How many more cases in one gp.?

21:06:58 [Roxanita] For Cohort Study usamos RR &/or AR

21:07:13 [Brams] RR divide, AR Subtract

21:07:15 [calender] rt. rox

21:07:26 [madalasa] exactly calendar

21:07:26 [ash] and odds ratio for case control

21:07:43 [calender] yeo ash

21:08:05 [Brams] Case control Odds ratio..Case control Odds ratio..Rythm.. : )

21:08:06 [Step_1] Assuming mean IQ in general population 100 and SD is 30. How many people is a population of 2000 will have an IQ greater than 200.??

21:08:19 [calender] what is odds ratio?

21:08:30 [ash] none

21:08:52 [rozyaurora] 0.15

21:08:58 [madalasa] did anyone know what is attributable risk percent?

21:09:24 [timi] it is the increased odds of getting a dis with exposure vs non-exposure to a risk factor

21:09:40 [madalasa] 0.15

21:09:44 [Brams] rozyaurora..can u explain us please??

21:09:58 [Roxanita] Ar is "how many more cases do I have in one group relatively to the other group"

21:10:06 [crusher] .05??

21:10:11 [hutals] but it says how many and not what percent. i think its 3 for step 1's question

21:10:43 [madalasa] yes hutals u r right

21:10:47 [madalasa] its 3

21:10:50 [ash] odds ratio is increased odds of getting a disease with exposure to a risk factor as compared to nonexposure to that factor

21:10:57 [calender]>[Step_1] pl.explain this SD Q...

21:11:20 [rozyaurora] 200 is> 3 SD..3/2 is .15

21:11:27 [madalasa] what is attributable risk percent? please explain someone

21:11:33 [timi] what is 3?

21:11:57 [Step_1] yes, this is a tough question, but EXTREMELY high yield.....you're right the correct answer is 3

21:12:13 [Brams] How it is 3???

21:12:26 [ash] hey guys but 3 sd is just 90 we need beyond 100.

21:12:35 [Step_1] 3 people out of 2000 people is about .15% of 2000 or 3 people

21:12:46 [Brams] yes..

21:13:28 [Step_1] heres how.....it is asking for only one side of the distribution on not both is the first impt point....so everything is cut in half basically....

21:13:33 [ash] thats right but didnt you ask for iq beyond 200 which is more than 3 sd(30*3 is 90)

21:13:46 skapaj enters this room

21:13:58 [Roxanita] I think that question is on the forum right step 1?

21:14:10 [skapaj] yes?

21:14:11 [ash] i am saying the ans is even less than .15

21:14:30 [Step_1] yes, that is from the forum and located here http://www.valuemd.com/viewtopic.php?t=10278

21:14:48 [madalasa] you are right ash, 3 is a rounded answer

21:14:50 [Step_1] it has detailed descriptions and graphs

21:15:04 [madalasa] it should be less than 3

21:15:09 [calender] ty step1

21:15:14 [Roxanita] I will check it

21:15:28 [Brams] Step_1 shall we disccuss this in the forum again???

21:15:59 [Step_1] sure, sounds like another forum type thinking question

21:16:08 [calender] if you are flipping a coin and head comes 2 times in a row,what are the chances of head or tail in third time flip?

21:16:10 [skapaj] NicoToscani> NicoToscani

21:16:37 [ash] 0.5 they are independent

21:16:42 [Step_1] 50% each time regardless of previous times

21:17:09 [madalasa] 0.5

21:17:11 [Step_1] i learned that the hard way in las vegas

21:17:18 jiveturkey enters this room

21:17:25 [calender] yes.bec. it is an independent event

21:17:27 [ash] yeah me too

21:17:45 [Step_1] hi jive

21:17:49 [madalasa] lol

21:17:51 [ash] just been there

21:17:52 [hutals] hey jive

21:17:57 [Roxanita] How do you calculate the Joint probability of an Independent Event?

21:18:03 [crusher] 50% ,,no matter if u get 4 times head consectively

21:18:04 [jiveturkey] sup fellas

21:18:14 [timi] lol

21:18:16 [ash] a+b-ab

21:18:26 [Step_1]

21:18:33 [ash] sorry ab

21:18:41 [madalasa] ab i guess

21:18:58 [Roxanita] and if they are mutually exclusive events?

21:18:58 [hutals] i think you muliply

21:19:10 [calender] of probability togather

21:19:29 [calender] by addition

21:19:31 [ash] add

21:19:42 [calender] if mutually exclusive

21:19:43 [Roxanita] right

21:19:50 [Roxanita] nd if they are not mutually exclusive?

21:19:55 [ash] if nonindependent?

21:20:37 [hutals] Define Tertiary Disease Prevention

21:20:54 [calender] add togather then subtract out multilication product which is the overlap factor

21:21:07 [ash] if not mutually exclusive a+b-ab

21:21:12 [madalasa] reducing diability from disease

21:21:18 [Brams] not mutually exclusive..a+b - ( ab)

21:21:25 [madalasa] sorry disability

21:21:31 [ash] tertiary prevention is disability prevention

21:21:39 [Step_1] tertiary only reduces morbidity

21:21:52 [ash] what is primordial prevention?

21:22:03 [hutals] yep thats right

21:22:09 [Roxanita] The chance of meeting someone who is obese is 30%, the chance of meeting someone who has Diabetes is 10% ; what is the chance to meet somebody who is obese and has DBM?

21:22:13 [calender] A+B-(A x B)

21:22:29 [Roxanita] that's an example of not mutually exclusive

21:22:36 [ash] 37%

21:22:56 [crusher] PRIMARY PREVENTION E.G vaccination...

21:22:58 [ash] what if nonindependent?

21:22:59 [timi] calculate the Joint probability of an Independent Event=ab ,,, if not mutually exclusive = a+b-ab if

21:23:03 [Roxanita] right

21:23:24 [ash] right but what is primordial prevention?

21:23:31 [timi] thansk i get it now

21:23:32 [madalasa] .37

21:23:44 [Roxanita] What is a NORMAL DISTRIBUTION?

21:23:57 [ash] primary and primordial are different

21:24:13 [Brams] X ly the probability of one event by the prob. of second..

21:24:18 [calender] How will you determine + or - skewness of the distribution curve?

21:24:23 jiveturkey exits from this room

21:24:30 [Roxanita] The Mean (X), the Median (MD) and the Mode are all same value

21:25:23 [madalasa] ans please ash?

21:25:24 [ash] + skew if tail to right and mean more than median.opp in - skew

21:25:35 [timi] YES

21:25:36 [Step_1] the easies way is by looking at the mean, median and mode. If in alphabetical order, its pos skew. i

21:25:55 [calender] if mean is < media..+ skew and if mean is > median ....- skew

21:26:07 [Roxanita] The MEAN guy goes after the TAIL, so the mean (X) is always closer to the tail

21:26:17 [ash] primordial prevention is 1 step before primary prevention it modifies behavioural and risk factors

21:26:42 [madalasa] any examples

21:26:52 monu enters this room

21:26:58 [Brams] I think calender said just opposite..right???

21:27:00 [Roxanita] yes, if Md>X Positively Skewed and if X>Md Negatively Skewed

21:27:03 [timi] THANKS

21:27:09 [Step_1] mean > median > mode = pos skew because in alphabetical order. the other is the other as golijan would say.

21:27:30 [calender] nice

21:27:32 [Brams] RIGHT..

21:27:32 [madalasa] agree

21:28:00 [ash] behavioral modification for type a personality to prevent heart disease

21:28:00 [hutals] good stuff

21:28:24 [madalasa] Thanks ash

21:29:02 [hutals] Define the Power of a study

21:29:52 [Step_1] being able to reject null hypothesis if it should be rejected

21:29:55 [timi] POWER=1-B

21:30:13 [madalasa] capacity to detect a defference

21:30:17 [Brams] is the capacity to detect a difference if there i sone..

21:30:31 [Step_1] power = 1 - (type 2 error)

21:30:32 [ash] power is the capacity to detect a difference if there is one

21:30:39 [Roxanita] Power is related with Type II Error

21:30:48 [hutals] yes, Probability of rejecting a null hypothesis when it is false

21:31:04 [ash] increase in sample size increases power

21:31:15 [Brams] Step_1 guess it is Type 1 error Alpha..

21:31:16 skapaj enters this room

21:31:38 [calender] power equals the variance

21:31:42 [Roxanita] Type II or Beta error: they will only ask you for Beta Error if they give you the Power.

21:31:50 [Brams] inc in sample size dec beta error

21:32:30 [Step_1] hi skapaj

21:33:41 [lijun] Thanks,everybody, I need to go. bye

21:33:49 [Roxanita] yes, If the sample increases, the power increases --> decreases Beta Error

21:34:01 [calender] If the sample sz increase then what will happen to SD and why?

21:34:18 [Step_1] thanks for joining the chat lijun, hope to see you again

21:34:44 [Roxanita] see you next chat lijun

21:34:57 [Brams] lijun bye!

21:35:02 [timi] THANSK EVERYBODY,,GOOD CHAT ,HAVE TO GO NOW --WILL READ THE TRANSCRIPT. HAPPY STUDYING !!

21:35:03 [madalasa] decreases as SD is inversly related to Population size

21:35:18 [Step_1] oh, should have mentioned this earlier, but chats usually last no longer than 3 hrs, so will be done by 11 pm at latest. is that right rox?

21:35:37 [Step_1] ok timi, see you next chat

21:35:43 [Roxanita] it's good Step 1

21:36:16 [hutals] nite timi and lijun

21:36:29 [Brams] Bye timi..

21:36:31 jiveturkey enters this room

21:36:39 [Roxanita] I think the most important things we should cover are Epidemio and Biostat today and next chat mostly Ethical issues cause the exam is full of those questions for sure.

21:36:43 [calender] SD will remain constent bec. the mean value is divided by total no. of sample sz.

21:36:50 [Step_1] we should probably move on to other parts since time is half gone

21:37:15 jiveturkey exits from this room

21:37:29 [hutals] Do divorcees remarry frequently?

21:44:08 [Brams] PROMISE..: )

21:44:09 [ash] well i was hoping someone would know cos i only know that female physicians havs higher suicide rates even when the ses factor is calcelled

21:44:31 [Roxanita] ok, quickly Human Sexuality... Group of people who have the most sex in US?

21:44:31 [Step_1] the chats have helped many of us in the past and they will hopefully do the same for you all. You're all doing great so far....alot better than I did in my first chat

21:45:55 [Brams] lol..

21:45:58 [hutals] i was completely silent for at least a month, so you're all ahead of me in my first chat

21:46:03 [ash] shocking

21:46:21 [Brams] really..???

21:46:29 [Roxanita] 1 million of teens get pregnant every year. 10% of all teenagers

21:46:36 [hutals] Marriages at high risk?

21:46:58 [ash] most likely method by which man or a woman will commit suicide?

21:47:10 [calender] what % of Americans have herpes simplex v.?

21:48:42 [hutals] yep, Teenage marriages, Mixed religions, Low socio-economic status

21:48:46 [Roxanita] From the pregnant teens: 50% of them have the child and 10% get pregnant. What % of american teenagers give birth every year?....(Joint probability)

21:48:57 [kiranadi] less chance of relapse by using this drug

21:49:17 [ash] right

21:49:37 [Step_1] real question had a bunch of risk factors in a teen who previously tried to commit suicide and asked what is the greatest risk factor that he will try again?

21:50:01 [ash] prevents relapse in alcoholics and lowers activity of receptors for glutamate

21:50:05 [calender] which ethnic gp. has the highest % of single parent family?

21:50:25 [madalasa] african american

21:50:26 [kiranadi] african americans

21:50:28 [Brams] Afro american

21:50:28 [Roxanita] Joint probability would be just a multiply: 10% x 50% = 5%

21:50:34 [ash] previous attempt for suicide is the most imp. factor

21:50:47 [hutals] previous attempt is my guess too

21:50:49 [Brams] yep..

21:50:57 [calender] African American( 62%),Hispanic( 33%),Caucassian( 21%)

21:50:59 [madalasa] previous attempt

21:51:14 [Brams] should we remember these numbers???

21:51:17 [ash] paranoia is associated with what drug intoxication?

21:51:28 [Step_1] real question so no answer, but previous attempt was an option aside from the other 7 or so options. That was my pick.

21:51:37 [madalasa] amphetamine

21:51:51 [ash] right and also cocaine

21:51:52 [Roxanita] ABout the STD, what is the most common disease in Males and what is in females?

21:54:22 [kiranadi] sorry i'm werong

21:54:31 [Step_1] great question calendar....the children and elderly are assumed to not be able to take care of selves so we must help report. but spouses are considered independent and can report for themselves

21:54:32 [Roxanita] I made a silly mnemonic ......after a couple have sex usually men are GONe---> GONORRHEA and the women CLAiM for the men to stay with her---> CHLAMYDIA

21:54:49 [ash] a pt. who had a painful bee sting is now afraid of flies and birds this is an example of?

21:56:52 [calender] children of divorced couple has more behav. prob. ..so is it imp. to stay married bec. of them?

21:56:59 [Roxanita] the transvesti will prefer a female

21:57:04 [Brams] As step_1 said as long as we can remember..nothing matters..right???

21:57:09 [Roxanita] or not?

21:57:26 [hutals] i agree, anything that helps

21:57:32 [ash] transvestites are men who dress up as women and prefer women as their sexual partners

21:57:42 [kiranadi] i go with roxanita...transveite prefer females if they are males

21:57:49 [madalasa] ash whats ans

21:57:57 [ash] yeah roxanita dont be embarassed

21:58:15 [Roxanita] no way. children from abusive parents result worse than from divorce parents

21:58:15 [kiranadi] i've a doubt!!!!

21:58:24 [jiveturkey] is this on the test?

21:58:32 [madalasa] shoooooooooot

21:58:41 [ash] it is an example of stimulus generalization

21:59:13 [Brams] Are they really ???

21:59:24 [madalasa] I guess yes

21:59:30 [madalasa] ????

21:59:31 [kiranadi] but just got it while answering the question

21:59:31 [calender] What is the rate of Breast CA in Lesbians in compare to Hetero?

21:59:35 [hutals] there are no idiotic questions....the more you know, the better you will do

21:59:37 [Brams] okie then next question..

22:00:09 [Roxanita] Biological: male ; gender ID : female prefer Sx artner: Male, what is that?

22:00:50 [madalasa] Trassexual Gender identity probelm

22:00:50 [ash] kiranadi it is given in k a p l a n .i am not making up stories

22:00:53 [Roxanita] you got me Kiran, i have no idea about that one

22:01:10 [calender] family first

22:01:15 [hutals] transexual

22:01:29 [Roxanita] right

22:01:52 [kiranadi] hey i was talking about the transvesite question

22:02:14 [ash] so am i

22:02:22 [Roxanita] Homosexualilty it's only an issue of partner preference

22:02:26 [hutals] ash, these are very relevant questions dealing with human sexuality chapter

22:02:32 [kiranadi] i cant understand what you all atlking about?

22:02:33 [calender] behav. sc. is different here in lots of ways

22:03:04 [jiveturkey] i believe there was a study in JAMA about breast ca in women without children/with children.

22:03:08 [kiranadi] please help me know what u r talking about?

22:03:38 [Roxanita] Nothing Kiran, people got messed up. keep going

22:03:43 shamim enters this room

22:03:45 [kiranadi] ok

22:03:46 [ash] kiranadi didnt you say that the transvestite queation was stupid because you think that females can also be transvestites?

22:03:49 [Brams] Thats right please amke us clear..Thanks

22:03:57 [calender] Breast CA is 8 times higher in Lesbians bec. of late child bearing age

22:04:11 [Roxanita] Is everybody cool?

22:04:32 [calender] I am

22:04:43 [kiranadi] no i said that my doubt was a stupid one?

22:04:56 [Roxanita] same as with professional females

22:04:58 [ash] i replied that in k a p l a n (human sexuality )they have given that a transvestite is a male dressed as a female.

22:05:06 [hutals] if you get a question on this, it will have a pt where they will put the biological ID, gender ID, and preferred partner in the stem and ask if its hetero, homo, transvestite, transexual....anyone have any doubts about that?

22:05:19 [ash] thats ok i am clearing it

22:05:21 [kiranadi] sorry for the misunderstanding

22:05:28 [Roxanita] actually I got a question like that

22:05:34 [jiveturkey] if I remember, hormonal changes were at least correlated with outcomes (Calendar).

22:05:40 [Roxanita] no problem everybody is cool

22:05:46 [ash] yeah

22:05:48 [calender] yep

22:05:49 [kiranadi] ok

22:06:45 [Roxanita] Only men have refractory period? True or false?

22:07:25 [jiveturkey] F

22:07:46 [hutals] true is my guess

22:07:54 [Roxanita] Completely TRUE. Sorry guys

22:07:55 [calender] what is the basic difference between High Socio Economic Status and LowSES

22:08:24 [Step_1] occupation

22:08:36 [ash] low socioeconomic status has low education and occupation

22:08:45 [jiveturkey] how people were raised

22:08:50 [Roxanita] Occupation right

22:08:51 [calender] rt....Education and Occupation

22:09:02 [kiranadi] occupation

22:09:15 [hutals] lol rox

22:09:36 [ash] if a stimulus is removed and behaviour continues it is ?

22:09:41 [calender] which have higher divorce rate.....marriage based on Money OR based on Love

22:09:54 [ash] love

22:10:07 [kiranadi] love i guess

22:10:08 [Roxanita] LOVE!!!

22:10:09 [ash] sad

22:10:11 [jiveturkey] im going$$$$$$$

22:10:16 [calender] YEP

22:10:37 [calender] based on Love have higher divorce rate

22:10:55 [calender] why?

22:10:58 [jiveturkey] 2 for 2

22:11:04 [ash] if a stimulus is removed and behaviour continues it is what reenforcement?

22:11:19 [Step_1] ouch.....I have no money, so i was counting on love

22:11:38 [jiveturkey] negative

22:11:38 [Roxanita] lol

22:11:48 [calender] great

22:12:09 [ash] dont worry step_1 i have a love marriage and it is working alright

22:12:37 [ash] right it is negative reenforcement

22:12:46 [Step_1] thats great ash

22:13:03 [ash] what if a stimulus is added and the behaviour stops?

22:13:10 [Roxanita] Rush hours in the buses....

22:13:13 [ash]

22:13:26 [jiveturkey] punishment

22:13:32 [Roxanita] think about frotteurism

22:13:52 [ash] oh yeah.yucky

22:14:02 [Step_1] us that pos??

22:14:06 [ash] punishment is right

22:14:49 [Step_1] so then pos is when stim added then response increases....is that correct?

22:15:18 [Brams] Could some one explain with an example please??

22:15:20 [ash] when there is contingency on time and schedule is changing what schedule?

22:15:29 [calender] chances of commiting succide in pt. who discharged from mental hospital( in compare to general population)?

22:15:44 [ash] yes step_1

22:15:56 [ash] high calender

22:15:58 [jiveturkey] reenforcement /neg or pos is to get someone to continue their actions

22:16:16 [jiveturkey] punishment is get someone to stop an action

22:16:17 [Roxanita] is 30 times I guess

22:16:22 [calender] rt ash...34 times /TO ash

22:16:40 [ash] hey guys do we need to know the numbers?

22:16:54 [ash] that scares me

22:17:16 [calender] yes.if they say....alcoholics...depression

22:17:17 [Step_1] pos reinforce is like getting your allowance for cleaning your room. pos stim is allowance, response is cleaning room. neg reinforcement is if you get punished for not cleaning room.....

22:17:21 [Roxanita] Oops 34

22:17:28 [calender] ec. in both chances are same ( 15%)

22:17:55 [Step_1] scratch the neg reinforcement example....that would be punishment example

22:17:56 [Brams] Thanks a Lott!! Step1

22:18:01 [Roxanita] I don't think we need to know the numbers, the exam is not like that

22:18:18 [ash] thanx roxanita

22:18:20 [calender] and.....schizophrenics are more succidal or alcoholics?

22:18:27 [ash] i was sweating

22:18:39 [ash] alcoholics

22:18:51 [Brams] alcoholics

22:18:51 [kiranadi] schizophrenics

22:18:55 [Step_1] neg reinforcement is if child learns that he can stop his parents nagging by cleaning up his room.

22:19:00 [calender] but if you know no....then you can compare and eliminate????

22:19:07 [Roxanita] schizophrenics

22:19:25 [calender] alcoholics( 15%)..and schizo( 10%)

22:19:38 [Roxanita] Oops again

22:19:45 [kiranadi] oops!!!

22:20:00 [calender] may be thats why we need to know no. too
