Micro message from Dr. Roberts:
Hi Dr. Roberts,
I was wondering if we are responsible for incubation times and treatment for
the exam.
Thanks.

Hi there,
The incubation periods that are important are those that distinguish one disease from another. A good example is the Eneteric Infections lecture: Staph and Bacillus species that cause GI disease involve preformed toxin leading to clinical manifestations very quicly after ingestion, while diseases like Salmonella or Shigella have longer incubation periods. Obviously you don't need the exact number of hours, but whether it is short or long.
As far as treatment, we won't list a number of antibiotics and have you pick one as the treatment, however treatment principles are very important. For example the fact that you would need prolonged therapy for endocarditis with a bacteriocidal agent or the fact that early stages of Lyme such as the ECM rash are treated with oral antibiotics while advances disease involving the CNS is treated with intravenous antibiotics.

 

For Psych

Hey everyone,

In preparation for the psych patient interview on Thursday, I typed up the interview template that is in the front of our psych manuals. I thought it might be helpful to be able to write stuff under the appropriate headings during the interview...hopefully it will help the write-up go more quickly.

Dec 7 Hey Guys,

...

Also on another note for the written test, I'm attaching a cranial nerve schematic that I put together that breaks down each cranial nerve with respect to the ear, nasal cavity, eye, phraynx etc. Don't be alarmed by the small font though...I just wanted to fit it all on 1 page. And I apologize in advance for any typos:o).

Thanks a lot and good luck to all of you on exams!

Sincerely,

Dec 2 Hi you all-

I had heard form a couple of you about Neuro-I hope some of these files are applicable and can help you all out. Some of the people in out class had done some of these.

One thing that helped me with CN especially was tying it in with POM. If I was doing the eye exam (H), then I would think about which CN were allowing the patient to be able to follow. Or, if someone was walking down the stairs, and had to tilt their head to one side, then what CN was wrong. Kinda working backwards from the problem at hand

Just keep on truckin-you are almost finished with your first semester. That is awesome!
If I can find anything else, I will send it out

Good Luck
Sincerely,
Sigrid B MSII (Sig)

Dec 1 Classmates,

I combined the Neuro hypothalamus lecture and the Micro pituitary / pineal gland lecture into one set of flow charts. (For Micro we don't always need to know the hypothalamic nucleus but for Neuro I guess we will (?) -- but I figure it's easiest to learn it all at once.)

Dr. Chiaramello checked my rough version of this over, and this final set incorporates her changes, so I'm pretty sure it's good.

Best,
Matt

Dec 1 Subject: correction in parasymp ganglia in head


Hi guys,

if you haven't already noticed, for the otic ganglion, I placed a question mark and 'CN VII' beneath the origin of the lesser petrosal nerve, as I had
yet to arrive at the part in the notes where this was stated. Please correct this, as the definitive origin of the lesser petrosal nerve is CN IX.

Thanx!

Some of you may know this one already, it's for the innervation of the
six EOMs:

and the rest are oculomotor


lateral rectus: CN6

Here's a great link with stroke information to help with the assignment
for Neuro...if your interested.  There is a page with each major
cerebral artery and the symptoms/syndromes related if blood supply is
compromised.

Dr. Potollichio mentioned the middle cerebral artery-posterior branch,
on this site, it is called inferior branch.

Hope it helps,

Nov 18 last email, promise. going over the eye lecture, i found that the
description of eye development, at the bottom of the first page, was not
exactly correct. i've corrected it and changed it. it's more detailed
and, better than that, it's correct. the only thing i've left out is
that the eyes develop from the prosencephalon of the forebrain, but i
have seen conflicting sources about the exact part of the forbrain that
forms the eyes--so i left it out b/c the prosencephalon might not be
correct.

Nov 15 guys, here is the first eye lecture we recieved retyped.  since lots of
us thought that it was really hard to understand with the paragraph
style format and the less than understandable pictures, I put it in
bulleted note form and added some pretty good pics.  hope it helps.

Dec 15 Hey 2008,

Sorry this is so last minute (internet at home has been down), but I wanted to forward to you a one-page, all inclusive study guide for your pbe patient interviews this weekend. If you memorize it and ask these questions you will be fine...hope it helps. Please ignore a couple things on the sheet b/c they relate to second year: 1) the CAGE questions; 2) asking about physical/emotional abuse in relationships.

Hang in there and good luck next week...almost home free to second semester.

Nov 10 Hello everyone,

I made a little summary of the interview parts from our first four DPS
sessions. I thought it would be easier than flipping through all the
pages. It has examples for some and not others which would have taken
too long (i.e. review of systems) so please supplement it with the
book or POM manual for further detail. And I copied the text verbatim
from that manual so that's my reference.

Best,
A
