Hi Guys
According to everyones availability, we are all avaiable on saturday.Zade, u gave us monday & wednesday. If you are not working on saturday can u plzzzz fix some time for this discussion.....just 1 hour plz?

As far as i am concerned, i did my general patho & now i am at GI. Patho is real time consumming , but i am there & i have to do it........no looking back at how much time i gave because it wont come back for me......i just need to do it nicely now.

Mytime & Unique's group is starting Pharma and i plan on doing pharma following their schedule. This is because Mytime takes a nice slow pace & i will be dealing with the big 2 "Ps" at the same time.Yaar, got to finish them by the end of december INSHALLAH.

Indidoc......i would have loved to do anatomy with you and you know that very well, but i am standing at a strange turn right now . So plz go ahead & i will keep a close eye on you dont worry. I apologise for any unintentional inconveniences.I will be fun when we will do it together with everyone & that will be soon i promise ok.

Mytime......keep it up !!......i know i can always rely on you........thanks for everything.

& NNL......Thanks for supporting me & i hope we fix this immuno thing & move on to the next.

Zade & Novak.........GOOD WORK u guys........now plz hurry up & start with the next subject ok. The days are flying by quick we all know that.

Rest of the group....TC

As you know I will also be doing Pharma along with it and my pace will be very slow. I do not want to drag you behind but may be I can speed up a little bit by following your footsteps. Please let me know if it works for you.smiling facenod

A 32-year-old, blood type A positive male receives a kidney transplant from a blood type B positive female donor with whom he had a 6-antigen HLA match. Once the kidney is anastomosed to the man's vasculature, the transplant team immediately begins to observe swelling and interstitial hemorrhage. After the surgery, the patient developed fever and leukocytosis and produced no urine. Which of the following is the most likely explanation?


A. Acute rejection due to antibody-mediated immunity

B. Acute rejection due to cell-mediated immunity

C. Chronic rejection due to cell-mediated immunity to minor HLA antigens

D. Hyperacute rejection due to lymphocyte and macrophage infiltration

E. Hyperacute rejection due to preformed ABO blood group antibodies

Hi Guys,
1.E
2.E

Thanks for the questions NNL. I hope i got them correct toogrin

Ok, guys can you believe it. I just sketched my timeline for Pathology & it is taking around another solid 15 days. I know its taking too long & i freak out when i count the actual number of days i have put in. But then look at it this way.......... this might
be 60% of my exam which i am investing or is this Rationalization raised eyebrow

Anyway, so i am putting it here in black& white for all of you ESP Mytime & Unique.

GI .....2 Days
Hepatobiliary.....2 Days
Renal............2 Days
Gyna............2 Days
Endocrine......1 Day
Musculoskeletal.....1 Day
Skin.....................1 Day
,CNS.....................1 Day
Haem...................3 Days

I know its taking long guys........but remember i will be doing pharma along & pharma is not just pharma, its PHARMACOLOGY for me(and Unique):P

So plz help us God & make Mytime really kind when we do Pharmagrin

Moreover, u all know that i have a sweet tooth & i eat lots of happy food (candies,chocolates,icecreams)when i feel low.But yesterday my mom found out that i actually ate all the left over candies from Haloween (which by the way were about 4 boxes have 70 chocolates each) & she was mad like anything. So i am not allowed to have any icecreams & candies for the rest of.......hmmmmm........i dont even know
how many days......WAAAAAAAA WAAAAAAAAAAA.
So u see i have to combat with so many things at a time here. Anyway, the battle begins.........

By the way i wish Mytime,Zade r Unique's kids would be living close one day so i could have spoiled them & became their fav aunt . So now u know, why all the kids in my family love megrin.

Zade.....you are really doing good & i am very proud of you. Keep it up buddy.I will send you the discussion. I hope we after december we can arrange for sometime when Indidoc & u & Novak can have the same time available. By the way if you relly need to have a discussion let me know & i will discuss with you anytime you are available.

Ya my friend Unique........so today is day 1 ......GI.

Best Of Luck all

UNIQUE talk to ur youngest daughter least u forget, Strep. mutans!!!!!!!!!!winkgrin

  #645

Hey Mytime.....& then u say u still need to do bacteriology. Wish i was as goodgrin

  #646

I think the initial immune response will occur wherever the antigen meets the immune barrier- lymphatic tissue. Like for oral antigen, it is the tonsils, GALT. But most of all, I think I could pick Lymph node (the follicles as the main center) as the answer... . this was my thought on th equestion n oddly enuf i havent found the answer to it could guys explain me y E is the answer

yes Correct for the 2nd question

NNL I think u are right with the choice of lymph node 'coz when the antigen or antigenic peptide is present that is where B or T cell or others are released and then some T are transferred to other lymphatic places...for secondary response. So ans. is C. The other one E.

And the new set are B, C, A.

Thank you so much they were good qs. I'll put in some too tomorrow.wink


  #650

NNL, regarding the 1st q, you are right that activation of immune response will take place in the reticuloendothelial system depending on the mode of entry of antigen . The stem of the q is a little confusing as lymph nodes, GALT (and may be thymus also in children?) are the possible places for the activation of immune response.

My answers to your next set of qs:
1:B
2: D
3:A
