hi match, how is your studies going? are u watching videos or just going through kap bio? @drdedication, i dont want to intrude here, but Goljan is for patho, and there are videos for other subjects, you can buy from ebay or other classified sections( if this one doesnt, probably usmlenet, or usmleforum will have classified)

thnx pursuit, KG , AD and killer for stopping by ...and drdedication i think AD answered ur Question. 1) causes of tissue hypoxia--- ischemia , hypoxemia, left shift curve, methb, CO poisoning, anemia,uncouplers . 2) O2 saturation ----is the oxygen sitting on the hb. 3) Pao2----is the oxygen dissolved in the plasma 4) decreased oxygen saturation and normal Pao2-----seeen in CO poisoning and methb. 5) TX of methb ----IV methylene blue and ancillary tx is vitamin C (reducing agent) 6) NITRO AND SULFA drugs----does methhb and has potential for producing hemolytic anemia in G6PD def. 7) 2,3 BPG---binds to beta subunit of HBA and causes right shift of the curve that is decreased affinity for oxygen so tht it can be given off to tissues 8) CALCIUM --- produces irrevesible damage to cell , enters mitochondria and release cytochrome C. 9) acetaminophen---MCC of drug induced fulminant hepatitis as it produces Free radicals which can be neutralized by glutathione. 10) alcohal----MCC of fatty change in the liver. 11) glycerol-3-phosphate----its made in glycolytic cycle and its a substrate for TG's synthesis . 12) coagulation necrosis----preservation of structural outlines , lactic acid accumulation due to denaturation of proteins(infarctions) 13) liquefactive necrosis----cerebral infarctions and cerebral absecess comes under this and produces a cystic change in the brain which involved neutrohils. 14) caseous necrosis----TB organisms and all systemic fungi's. 15) enzymatic fat necrosis-----unique to pancreas only. 16) bax gene---apoptosis gene 17) bcl2 gene---antiapototic gene
