Endoderm Derivatives
The endoderm gives rise to all structures derived from the inner lining of the primitive gut tubeincluding the thyroid follicular cells, the epithelial surfaces of the trachea, bronchi and lungs, the liver andbiliary tree, the pancreas, the GI mucosal epithelium and the bladder epithelium.
Aortic Regurg Pressure Tracing
Look for dipping of the aortic pressure after aortic valve closure
Use of a two sample T test
The two-sample t test is commonly employed to determine if the means of two populations are equal.  Severalstatistical approaches can be used, but the basic numerical requirements needed to perform this test are thetwo mean values, the sample variances (eg, standard deviations), and the sample sizes.  The t statistic isthen calculated and the p value determined.  If the p value is less than 0.05, the null hypothesis (whichassumes that there is no difference between two groups) is rejected, and the two means are assumed to bestatistically different.  If the p value is large, then "do not reject" the null hypothesis.
Confidence Interval?
means +/- Z(SEM)

For 95% CI Z=1.96
SEM= SE/root(n)
Two sample Z test
(Choice B) The two-sample z test can also be used to compare two means, but population (not sample) variance are used in calculcations.

Pregnancy Nerve block near ischial spine
Used if too far to receive epidural anesthesia.  The pudendal nerve is derived from the S2 - S4 nerve roots and providessensory innervation to the perineum and genitals (of both sexes) as well as motor innervation to the sphincterurethrae and the external anal sphincter. Additional blockade of the genitofemoral and ilioinguinal nerves would provide complete perineal and genital anesthesia.
Obturator Nerve
(Choice D) The obturator nerve is derived from L3 and L4 and serves to provide motor innervation to the medial thigh (adductors).

Thalessemias are a problem with what?
In beta-thalassemia, mutations affecting the transcription, processing and translation of mRNA lead to a deficiency of beta-globin chains.  The underproduction of beta chains in patients with normal alpha chain and heme production leads to increasedformation of HbF and HbA2.(Choice G) Heme production is normal in the thalassemia syndromes.  The porphyrias are disorders of the heme production pathway.

Vibrio Cholera
The clinical case describes infection with Vibrio cholerae.  V. cholerae are oxidase-positive, gram-negative,comma-shaped rods that are able to grow on alkaline enrichment medium*** that kills most organisms of thenormal flora of the gut.  This morphology may be confused with infection by Campylobacter jejuni, one of themost common causes of diarrhea worldwide, which is a curved motile gram-negative, oxidase positive rod,but this organism is unable to survive alkaline enrichment.

Mechanism of antiplatelet drugs
Antiplatelet drugs work by one of three basic mechanisms: 1) formation of ligands (aspirin decreasesthromboxane A2 formation), 2) blocking interaction of ligands with receptors on platelets (clopidogrel andticlopidine work as ADP antagonists), or 3) interfering with intracellular signaling (cilostazol and dipyridamoleincrease cAMP by decreasing phosphodiesterase activity). TICLODIPINE CAUSES NEUTROPENIA.
Dapsone SE

Hemochromatosis
On the short arm of chromosome 6, the hemochromatosis gene (called HFE) encodes an HLA class I-likemolecule that appears to affect iron absorption from the gastrointestinal tract.is therefore one of the most common inherited diseases, as well as one of the most common inborn defects inmetabolism.
Lead Poisoning

Iron Poisoning
(Choice B) Iron poisoning is typically separated into four stages.  First, nausea, diarrhea, and abdominal painare experienced, often accompanied by hemorrhage, hypovolemia, and shock in severe cases. In stage two, the gastrointestinal symptoms resolve and the patient appears better.  By stage three, metabolic acidosis,hepatic dysfunction, and hypoglycemia may set in.  Stage four is marked by scarring of the recoveringgastrointestinal tract.
PCT Brush Border Enzymes
(Choice A) The brush border enzyme activity of the proximal collecting tubules is responsible for reabsorbingof 2/3 of the sodium and water filtered from the glomerular capillaries into Bowman's capsule.  These enzymesare also responsible for reabsorbing filtered glucose, amino acids, phosphate and lactate by cotransport withsodium. 
Aldosterone
ducts.  Under the influence of aldosterone, sodium and water are removed from the tubular fluid actively andpassively, respectively.  As a consequence, potassium and hydrogen ions are lost into the tubular fluid.  Thus,aldosterone promotes potassium ion and hydrogen ion secretion from the intercalated cells of the renalcollecting tubules.
Parvovirus
This patient most likely caught a parvovirus infection from her son.  In children, parvovirus B19 infectioncauses erythema infectiosum (fifth disease), which involves a nonspecific prodrome of fever and malaise followed by a bright red rash on the cheeks 5-7 days later.  Some children also develop a generalized lacey rash that starts on the arms and spreads to the trunk and legs.  In adults, parvovirus can cause arthritis involving the proximal interphalangeal, metacarpal, knee and ankle joints.  Like rheumatoid arthritis,involvement is usually symmetric, but unlike rheumatoid arthritis, symptoms generally resolve spontaneously. THE O IN TORCH - can lead to hydrops fetalis.
ATN histological apperance
Histologically, overt ATN is characterized by flattening of the epithelial cells, loss of the brush border inproximal tubular cells, and subsequent cell necrosis and denudation of tubular basement membrane(TBM).  Muddy brown casts, which are pathognomonic for ATN, are a variant of granular pigmented casts.(Choice A) ATN produces pronounced vasoconstriction of glomerular capillaries.  No characteristic changesin glomerular epithelium are noted.

Peroxisome defect
-Phytanic acid disease avoid chorophyll
- Peroxisomal diseases are rare inborn errors of metabolism where peroxisomes are either absent or nonfunctional. Very long chain fatty acids or fatty acids with branch points (PHYTANIC ACID) at odd-numbered carbons can not undergo mitochondrial beta-oxidation; these fatty acids are metabolized by a special form of beta oxidation(very long chain fatty acids) or by alpha oxidation (branched chain fatty acids such as phytanic acid) within peroxisomes.  These diseases commonly lead to neurologic defects from improper CNS myelination.
