Remembered questions for STEP 1 - USMLE Forum great idea! here's my contribution...........an experience from a test that was taken earlier this week Biochem: some key enzyme deficiency ones (Lesch Nyhan, Maple Syrup Disease) but all of the questions were very obvious and did not require you to put much thought into it. Don't blow off porphyria and lead poisoning-- for some reason I got so many questions on that! Molecular Bio: This was a big one! lots of questions about DNA regulation, transcription, translation, bacterial plasmids, etc. Sometimes these questions look very scary -- they are always so long and use long names for molecules or restriction enzymes that you have never heard of. You need to get used to the question style and realize that what they are asking is very simple. The NBME forms have questions very similar to the molecular bio ones I saw on the exam. Pharm: Another one I thought would be difficult but not. Big drugs you should know a lot about (like antihypertensives, drugs for hyperlipidemias, cardic drugs, etc.) know side effects -- especially the chemo and immunosupressant drugs that kept on tripping me up so much. Micro/Immuno: mostly bacterial processes and what you would use to treat them... or what was their mechanism of disease (i.e. endotoxn, exotoxin, etc.) Know immunology and cytokines well, as well as the functions of all the cells. Different immune deficiencies were all asked on my exam (there is one page in First Aid that sums them up very well). Anatomy/Neuroanatomy: Always combined with a pathology question or an imagine. I had a few branchial plexus/lumbar plexus questions. Many questions would give you a clinical scenario, then ask you to identiy the artery/nerve/organ on a CT scan/MRI/angiogram/brain cross section. Physio: This was almost always combined with Pathology--they would ask the physiology behind some path process. I had so many questions where the question asked "what would be the levels of x, y, and z enzymes/hormones?", answer choices being "increased, decreased, etc" Pathology: lot of images -- MANY more than Qbank's representation. images from NBME test were repeated on my actual exam Goljan's book and lectures were great. He pointed out lots of things that wound up being on the exam and presents them in a way that really sticks. Also, his images are a great resource as i already gave 1 qs which i heard from 1 of my frnd the qs is a female birth a baby who died soon after birth and her placenta was edematous ,she has another child who goes to day care.wat is the diagnosis of the child death 1 ebv 2 cmv 3 parvovirus ans is parvovirus MLC MLO MLM AE -

It is called "Dissemination of Immunologic Memory" , and it is the same mechanism used in Adenovirus Vaccine. The adenovirus vaccine used by the military against adenovirus types 4 and 7 is an enteric-coated , live , non-attenuated virus preparation. This vaccine produces an asymptomatic intestinal infection and thereby induces mucosal IgA memory cells. These cells then populate the mucosal immune system throughout the body. ( Because Memory cells tend to home in a tissue-specific fashion , presumably returning to the type of tissue in which they first

BRS Physiology(p.223) says that the relaxaton of lower esophageal sphincter is vagally mediated , and the neurotransmitter is VIP. Or, maybe GERD could be due to gastric acid therefore , parietal cell could be an answer. Q12) Cholecystectomy patients absorb fat from? Cholecystectomy pt. will still absorbing fat from terminal ileum I think, well ofcourse from small intestine cholecystectomy has nothing to do with the site of absorbtion . the person still produces bile( in liver) just no storage or conecentration of bile.... thats why post op cholecystectomy patients are put on low fat diet

Q6) Brown fat of neonates. Function? site of heat production in a neonate---brown adipose tissue contain natural uncoupling protein, which allows energy loss in the form of heat to maintain basal temp Q7) Longterm steroid use: effect on adrenals. adrenal suppression... therefore tapered slowly, neg feed back on ant pit so, decreased ACTH, so less stim of adrenals…hypothalamo pituitary axis and eventually leads to atrophy of the adrenal gland. Q8) Trypanosome cruzi: life cycle. try cruzi lifecycle involves reduvid bud as a vector and both humans and animals as reservoirs. life cycle. … reservoirs are cats, dogs… reduviid bug passes the trypomastigote as it bites and scratching implants in bite site……….reservoir is rodents, armadillos. vector is reduviid bug. it transmits the trypomastigote form which turns into the amastigote form inside the body.

ZEBRA genes:Z EBV replication activator (ZEBRA) as lytic cycle

http://www.usmleforum.com/files/forum/2007/1/193828.php[11/7/2011 2:10:26 PM]

Remembered questions for STEP 1 - USMLE Forum markers.ZEBRA is one of the immediate early genes of EBV.it is considered to be expressed in the initial stage of the lytic cycle, before the viral particles have been dispersed.

Treatment ot a Hypertensive Crisis from MAOI Reaction. This is a medical emergency with cerebral vascular accidents being one of the greatest concerns. Medical consultation is warranted. Patients should report to an immediately to an emergency department. Initial treatment options include: Phentolamine 5 mg IV or Thorazine 50 to 100 mg po Care should be taken to ensure that the patient does not become dangerously hypotensive or that the hypertensive state returns once the intervention medication has worn off. Tyramine is actively transported into neurons and displaces NE, leading to intraneuronal release of NE. It can be degraded by MAO, but if you are on MAOI, its interaction will cause tyramine build up. Tons of NE will be replaced and hence the HTN crisis. Q12) Neurotransmitter involved in Huntington.

Remembered questions for STEP 1 - USMLE Forum Q14) Chronic antiplatelet drug in aspirin sensitive? Clopidogrel & Ticlopidine : They are back-up or alternative drugs to aspirin. They block ADP receptors on platelets , hence decrease activation Q15)Stroke patient getting MI treated with streptokinase dies due to cva. Cause? concluded that death of the patient occurred due to rebleeding on administration of streptokinase 1. Intracranial Hemorrhage : As PRS has mentioned , the death could be due to intracranial hemorrhage. Since CVA refers to both ischemic (80%) and hemorrhagic(20%). This is more likely than other explanation to me. 2. Therapeutic Failure : It could be due to strptokinase's property itself. Since most individuals have had a streptococcal infection sometime in their lives , circulating antibodies against streptokinase are likely to be present in most patients. These antibodies can combine with streptokinase and neutralize its fibrinolytic properties. (Therapeutic failure) (lippincott Pharmacology 2nd edition p.203) 3. Property of all Thrombolytic agents As the thrombolytic agents dissolute clot , Increased local thrombin may occur as the clot dissolves , leading to enhanced platelet aggregability and thrombosis. Strategies to prevent this include administration of antiplatelet drugs , such as aspirin , or antithrombotics , such as heparin. Drugs that have been implicated in the development of serum sicknesslike reactions include the following: allopurinol (Zyloprim), arsenicals and mercurial derivatives, barbiturates, captopril (Capoten), cephalosporins, furazolidone (Furoxone), gold salts, griseofulvin (Fulvicin, Grifulvin), halothane, hydralazine (Apresoline), iodides, methyldopa, para-aminosalicylic acid, penicillamine, penicillins, phenytoin (Dilantin), piperazine, procainamide (Procan SR, Procanbid, Pronestyl-SR), quinidine (Quinaglute, Quinalan, Quinidex, Quinora), streptokinase (Streptase, Kabikinase), sulfonamides, and thiouracils.

The clinical manifestations of bronchial carcinoids may arise because of their endobronchial or central location, their potential for metastatic spread, or their ability to produce vasoactive amines. Hemoptysis is common, occurring in at least 50% of patients.

It is probably due to disease affecting the ciliary ganglion. Is hypersensitive to any weak Pilocarpine (eg. 0.1%) with constriction of the pupil, in contrast to the pharmacologically dilated pupil (eg. by atropine) which will not constrict. There may be an associated loss of tendon reflexes, particularly the ankle jerks, but there is almost never any associated systemic disease. Over a period of years, the condition is likely to become bilateral and the initially dilated pupil will gradually reduce in size. However, its poor reaction to light will continue. 2.- Marcus Gunn Pupil-paradoxical dilatation of pupils in swinging flashlight test,seen in retinal detachment,optic neuritis etc. 3.Pupils in pontine lesions-; pontine lesions cause miosis but normal light response. pin-point pupils following pontine haemorrhage; 4.central diencephalic herniation causes fixed dilated pupils: 5.Argyll Robertson Pupil- Accomodation Reflex Present(ARP-mnemonic). 6.Pupil in Uncal herniation- findings include ipsilateral pupillary dilation, loss of light reflex, and ptosis due to compression of cranial nerve III. -Often develops into Korsakof's even when treated -It has a mortality rate of 70 % to 80 % if untreated -The treatment is thiamine 100 mg.

Ok, my contribution. more precisely, it is math3's contribution, I put all of her qs together so it will be easier for you to read and to benefit. ------------------------------------------0.1 which one of the follo cause asthma? cockroach spider milliede centipede termites http://www.niehs.nih.gov/airborne/prevent/roach.html cockroaches is the answer 1. visual problem and prolactin???hypothalamus or infundibulum,,,choose infundi Hyperprolactinaemia caused by compression of the pituitary stalk (infundibulum) Hyperprolactinaemia may be caused by either disinhibition (e.g. compression of the pituitary stalk or reduced dopamine levels) or excess production from a prolactinoma (a pituitary gland adenoma tumour). 2. for terminationg pr synthesis,,,,atp,gtp.cgmp,catp for terminatin protein synthesis energy req in the form of atp ? no its gtp The mRNA Signal STOP Codons: UAA, UAG, or UGA, There are no tRNAs that recognize the STOP codons UAA, UAG, or UGA. ----Soluble Protein Release Factors RF1 responds to UAA or UAG RF2 responds to UAA or UGA RF3, a GTPase (like EF-Tu and binds in a similar A-site location) RF1/RF2 interact with RF3-GTP, have a similar shape as EF-Tu-GTP-aatRNA or EF-G, and bind in a similar ribosomal site (A-site). In a manner similar to EF-G, GTP hydrolysis drives the movement of the terminal mRNA codon into the P-site, moving the last tRNA into the E-site and off. At the same time, the polypeptide chain is released after hydrolysis of the tRNA-peptide bond. In eukaryotes, only a single release factor, eRF, is necessary. It recognizes all three STOP codons and interacts with GTP. A mutation resulting in a premature STOP codon is called a nonsense mutation. Elongation consists of three distinct steps to add one amino acid Requires three elongation factors: EF-Tu/EF-Ts and EF-G Requires two GTPs per cycle (4 phospharyl bonds) Occurs many times per polypeptide The elongation cycle is similar in prokaryotes and eukaryotes. Fast: 15-20 amino acids added per second Accurate: 1 mistake every ~10,000 amino acids Termination results in the release of the polypeptide chain Requires one of the three STOP codons: UAA, UAG, or UGA. Requires RF1 or RF2, and RF3 in prokaryotes (eRF in eukaryotes)
