56% kaplan Physiology questions. I could have got atleast 4 more questions correct if I only read them correctly.
So respiratory system and all graphs are my weak point.Shall work on that.

Hey Medocuk,
regarding the 'munching something all the time' I'm exactly the same & it used to bother me but not anymore, anything that helps is well come. usualy if i have a bottle of water infront of me, it helps. GOOD LUCK & keep going tom.

Oooh, don't let this get you! This gets me, too, and it is so easy to fall into this habit. Let's remind ourselves to read carefully and purposefully. I am glad to see you are in Study Mode today, Med, very good. What's that noise there? Must be your whip

Hi ,I'm back.No I was here all this time.Just realized I was spending too much time on the net but not reading.So I decided I won't write another word till I'm done with a few chps.What did I study? Well,not my Biochem like I had planned.I just took my First Aid and went thru the entire book to familiarize myself with the topics.Do I remember anything?Not really.But at least I have opened that book.2nd read will be better.
Hope u are on track with studies.Thanx for keeping an eye on me .GL & study hard

jajaja sorry you guys but I think I would win the Sumo Wrestling Match, just a hunch that I have.
I also eat constanly medocuk, and the bad thing is that once I get something to eat, my concentration comes back, and I start to focus and study better, so I am feeding this negative ugly vicious circle, where I don't study, then I eat and study.
And I also have very bad mornings, I am definately not a morning person, but as mytime says the exam is going to be in the morning not at night, it is actually at 8:30 am, so, I am planning on getting up early in the morning, doing exercise and breakfast, and start studying at 8:00 am, so that my body will get use to the schedule by the time of the exam!  , well that's the plan at list I am really not sure I can do it though.
So good luck with phisio and hang in there!

I got 46% in physio renal, pulmonary and endocrine Kaplan questions. Need to work on my graphs. But I have to move on to Pharmac at some point. Damn. I am already 2 days behind schedule.Mytime wants to discuss mol bio and genetocs tom. I want to too but I wanted to read Goljna before she called as we decided to discss some goljan too. Questions I am lagging.
I am getting into a mess. Some thing is wrong. I dont know how ppl stick to their schedules and sleep satisfied at night. I am begining to lose sleep now.This is so wrong.feels like deja vu all over again.Some thing has to change.

Anyway u can win sumu stuff hands down. Muahahhahahahaha

Let's work to make it right, Medoc. You said that graphs in physio get you all bungled up, right? Ok, take a physio concept, say, renal. Try closing your eyes and walking your mind step by step over each ting that happens when there is, say, hemorrhage. You have low CO, low BP, right? Who senses this? Who kicks into action to increase BP, for example? Where is renin made, anyway? And where are those cells located? Just keep going like this. Note what goes up. What goes down. Who gets to stay in, who gets kicked out (aldosterone wants to keep salt, kicks out potassium, etc). Once you know these pathways, the correct set of arrows will just pop out at you.

keep going: Penetrance is a single gene disorder concept.Not so much a autosomal/ sex linked disorder concept.
How ever Kaplans talks of only autosomal diseases and not sex linked.
this question is very straight forward.
It is a X- linked dominant disease which the father has.He can transmit his X to only his daughters.Son's are spared. Hence all the daughters shud be affected. How ever penetrance is only 60%, which means that for every possibilty only 60% of those chances will have phenotypic disease. hence the probability is 60%.
This is my reasoning. Anyone feel free to correct me. edie..any suggestions?

yes medoc agree that part but my concern is that we do not have penetrance theory acceptble for sex-linked diseas which is in this question presented,if u read goljan's book or notes he very clearely mentions if have father have mutant gene all his daughters will be equally effected no story of whether penetrance is theer or not b/c the mutant is on sex gene ..penetrance theory ok for autosomal but sex-linked???well ye sedie and other fellow friends if know plzz correct me..this question bugging me since long..we had discussion over it before but no satisfactory answer till today..thanks medoc for reply,see if now i make clear or any sense to what my doubt is
happy studying!!!

Hi Medoc and KG. Here's my take on it. I am inclined to agree with Medoc, because only daughters of a carrier father can be affected. 60% penetrance related to chance of expressing the phenotype. Keep in mind that daughters get another X from mom, so this further lends to the variable expression of a disease that is not 100% penetrant on the X chromosome from dad. Consider this:
"The presence of a dominant allele, or two recessive alleles, is not always a guarantee that the trait will be displayed in the phenotype, a phenomenon called incomplete penetrance. Variable expressivity also occurs, with some individuals more affected than others of the same genotype. In most cases the reasons for these differences are unknown, but they are assumed to be due at least in part to other differences between individuals. For instance, if there are differences between individuals in the other genes with which the product of incompletely penetrant or variably expressed allele interacts, this may account for some of these differences in expression."

Hi , when you study, you get hungry easily, we atleast need energy , glucose , so eat healthy one, excercise then after exm.... exercise more , eat right, but back to regular portion , regular eating time instead of non stop like while studying .
I score all subj 99 to 92 in myschool days if while studying eating nonstop with sweet black coffee . On the day of exm 1st day , my girl friend said, wow , what are you doing, what have you done girl, are you sure you're studying, cause they all thinner than a stick, pencil after non sleep, no eat studying .
Me , eat well, sleep well, study well, no repeat much of notes. MAy be I sh do like that instead of sleepless now, exhausted , study not well , need alot of recheck, may be reread cause , less sleep., less eat cause less concentration .
