HIGHEST Yield Pearls for MRCP 1 2 & PACES
1) Hepatitis "D" Virus has HIGHEST mortality in ALL people EXCEPT#Pregnancy.
In Pregnant women: MOST LETHAL is Hepatitis E virus.
2) "While calculating Serum Osmolality the serum Na is multiplied by 2 to account for the accompanying ANIONS (mostly Cl- & HCO3-)."
3) Most Common cause of Metastasis to LIVER is primary cancers of Lung.
LLLLLungs send metastasis to LLLLLLiver.
4) Ketamine is the ONLY induction agent that causes Bronchodilation.
Again:
Ketamine is the ONLY induction agent that causes Bronchodilation.
5) AANNencephaly: failure of AANNterior neuropore to close.(at day 25)
SSSpinda bifida: failure of poSSSterior neuropore to close.(at day 27)
6) Muscle Spindles: Innervated by 1a fibers - cause skeletal muscle to CONTRACT.
GTOs: innervated by 1b - cause contracting muscle to RELAX
7) In SSSpontaneous pneumothorax: trachea shifts to ipSSSilateral side.
In TTTension pneumothorax: trachea deviates to conTTTralateral side.
8) Antibiotics SAFE in pregnancy:
All Penicillins.
All Cephalosporins.
All Carbapenems.
Aztreonam.
Azithromycin.
Nitrofurantoin (Avoid in last trimester bcoz can cause hemolysis in G6PD deficient fetus).
Metronidazole (SAFE in ALL trimesters).
