also yesterdya i had planned to sumarize that thread but was too lazy..

areas with malaria risk
  • Africa, South America, the Indian Subcontinent, Tajikistan, Asia, and the South Pacific

integrating malaria resistence
  • If you are going to Mexico, Haiti, the Dominican Republic, and certain countries in Central America, the Middle East, and Eastern Europe --> take chloroquine
  • If you are going to a chloroquine resistant area such as the old world (africa, India, south east asia), mefloquine is fair. (source frank 100 for this one..rest cdc)

Third Heart Sound S3
Results from increased atrial pressure leading to increased flow rates, as seen in congestive heart failure, which is the most common cause of a S3. Associated dilated cardiomyopathy with dilated ventricles also contribute to the sound.

Less commonly, valvular regurgitation and left to right shunts may also result in a S3 due to increased flow.

May be normal physiological finding in patients less than age 40.

PPV in heart failure 86% http://depts.washington.edu/physdx/heart/evid3.ht...

Seen in patients with stiffened left ventricles, resulting from conditions such as hypertension, aortic stenosis, ischemic or hypertrophic cardiomyopathy.

In patient with mitral regurgitation, suggestive of acute onset of regurgitation due to the rupture of the chorda tendinae that anchor the Valvular leaflets.

hey study-ing, you are a real whiz kid!!! how do you manage to pack in so much studying in a day? i am still struggling with kaplan surgery. i am done with the first part and am about to start the vignette. i really admire you.

i am also sitting the exam in oct. i think 2 months should be adequate going by step 1 experience. it is better to read like you will die ( you never diegrin) than to take your time. i forgot so much of what i knew by dday cos i had read them so long ago.
