Ok UNIQUE since no one tried...I'll venture...BRRRRRRRRR...
1 : A patient is taking part in a sleep study. When he begins to dream , which of the following physiologic changes would be expected ?
a : Electroencephalographic desynchrony
b : More visual imagery during non REM sleep
c : Delta waves on electroencephalogram
d : Increase in sternocledomastoid movement
If he begins to dream and remembers it it's probably REM sleep,rt.? SO he' s physically paralysed and can't have delta waves which is for deep sleep.....so we are left with A..Is that it?
2 : A middle school child is performing poorly at school . Which of the early childhood characteristics would be most likely to predict school performance in later years.
a : Birth weight
b : Handedness
c : Temperament
d : Age of mother at birth
e : Intellegence
f : Malnutrtion
g : Assertiveness
This one is kind of scary ..it's there yet not. I was thinking malnutrition ..for obvious reason....I know it's verbal contact for sure but that's not here so could it be handedness instead.? BrRRRR...
3 : A 48 year old over weight diabatic lady comes to doctors office and shows great entheusiasm for loosing weight and asks the doctor to give her a reduced calorie diet plan. The doctor gives her the diet plan and makes weekly appointments for her for the next four weeks. The lady does not show up for the next two weeks and comes on the 3rd appointment , 30 minutes late. She has gained 2 Lb weight and insists that she has been strictly following the diet plan. What defence mechanism is this lady showing?
This one has to be DENIAL...can't she see she's gained...Not coming for 2 weeks was probably kinda of a red herring.U let me know if i'm wrong....which is hugely possible...'coz i think too much and end up with the wrong ones but Hey no RATIONALIZATION rt.?
Take care guys....don't forget to study.
Have a great weekend everyone..... [/quote]

Ok mytime , I let you out of this frustration and tell the answers
Both of you are correct at 1st q. Answer is A . Good job both of you
2 : Right ans. is E . Intelligence guys......What ever IQ a child has at age 5 , stays with him/her for ever. Intelligence in the early years of life is indicative of academic performance in the later years.
3 : Hummm.... it is Passive Aggressive behavior .
Passive aggressive is defined as " nonperformance or poor performance after setting up the expectation of performance." The lady was so entheusiastic to loose weight but could not show any performance at all.
Denial is not accepting the reality . This lady admits that she is over weight and wants to loose weight. If it was denial, she would not admit that she needs to shed some pounds.
It is not rationalization either because in rationalization , the person tries to gives some explaination for her/his behavior. Like if she gives some reason for not showing up for 2 weeks and then being 30 minutes late on the 3rd appointment.
I hope I was able to explain what I mean

I could not study all day today . Have just started chapter 12 . It seems a tough one......
Thanks boss for being kind to us and allotting a cute little chapter

Hi Friends
Sorry I couldn't keep up the pace with you guys in Beh Sc. I started off with first chapter thinking that you have started from the begining and got stuck then left it and have been doing Patho. Hopefully, I will finish it by today. Then I plan to pick up Beh. Sc again. I remember doing it last time from Barbra Fadem and it was a nice book. ARE YOU GUYS WATCHING VIDEO TOO? The first two chapters are difficult and the third chapter about social life is I dont know how important and how is asked? Rest of the chapters seem interesting.
I hope I can finish my targets of this month. I feel ashamed that I couldn't keep up in Beh. Sc with you guys. Its good to see all my friend doing great.
Unique: Do you think that when you register for USMLE, you have to get your credentials verified from your university and its a really difficult task when you are not in country so how do you plan to do it?
I may have to register for exam very soon coz in my hospital I have to submit next year leave plan. I have to register for step one according to leave so that I can study full time during it. Verification process back home will take time. Everything has to be accurate. Any change in my leave or the exam date will be quite difficult for me to correct. Securing a slot in my leave time is crucial I guess.
I can see all friends are active and studying really well and the forum is more active than ever. Also new friends have joined over time and old have been visiting from time to time. Carry on guys keep up the good work!!!

Frankly speaking Oldkidontheblock , I have no idea what do we have to do to apply for the test. I have not even checked their wesite I asked my husband about it and he told me that he did not have to do anything except for filling an application . He had to verify his credentials at the time of residency . This was many years ago. Seems like they have changed things now. I know when my husband got his credentials verified , it took quite some time . Then he found some old class mates there who helped to expedite the process. You will have to plan well ahead of time for everything.
Good luck with the whole thing .
SSS , let me guess what is wrong with you. Hummmmm.....You are pregnant !! Right .......?
Where is the rest of the gang ???
Proctalgia , what about the right answer of your q ?????
OK guys , time to hit the books now . Happy studying

hi guys,
seems like everyone is studying full swing, except me. i've been busy as hell and have just managed to read 4 chapters so far and that too without videos - I guess thats a perfect eg of being passive aggressive (poor performance after setting up high goals).
thanks for all the wonderful questions that u guys have been posting. i guess the answer to proctalgia's qs is #5.
sss: hope u feel better soon.
its the beginning of the week and i'm already so overwhelmed with all the stuff that needs to be done this week, including packing and moving and shopping for the house, and not to forget, studying.
i hope i can report something positive by the end of this week.

Hey guys,
How is every thing? Week end was unusually bussy. Could not even touch a book on sunday. I was expecting to finish immuno over the week end, but now it will take extral couple of days.
The answer to the qns is what unique and mytime and Zenith have said. Yes 5HT is responsible for this.
I will be back with you after doing some positive work.
By the way Oldkid, You had better start registration process early. I am experiencing some difficult problems with this- I mean the credential verification part of the registration. There could be some unforseen problems that will take time to get sorted out specialy considering the fact that there will be inevitable delays in the mail when ECFMG gets a response from the Med School in your native country.
Good luck and Take care.
