hello everyone! I'm brand new here and wish to get some help from people who're also doing NBME3.
1.if a patient survives for 1 year, which is the probability that he will survive for 4 years? why the answer is B? Why not D?
2. EM cardiac muscle, which structure is present in cardiac but not skeletal muscle? what C stands for?
3.a 51 yr old man comes to the physicain bc of fatigue, weakness and joint pain for 5 days, for past 9 months he's been taking prednisone daily for severe rheumatoid arthritis. he tells the physician that he lost the medicine and did not have it replaced. what's the mechanism for his symptoms ? answer is adrenal atrophy due to suppression of ACTH. Why would adrenal atrophy cause fatigue and joint pain?
4. ursodeoxycholic acid will decrease bile acid? wouldn't that worsen cholesterol gallstone?
5. the mean median mode one, i believe A is right, anyone agree?
so far i did 3 and 4. i found lost in all the brain section Qs. like the one with all the gyrus of the surface of brain. how do you improve those? i can't find any pictures like those on NBME, like in high yield neuroanatomy or google.
Thanks so much and have a great day of study!
by the way i got 450 only. 1.5 months to go. any chance for 95?
