Phone... dial zero... ask for transfer to facilities.

Jeez, you're gonna be a lot of help when the zombies come.

A lot more help than Fartbongo and his 10 round clip [sic] limit.

/That's a joke son.

Naegele's rule?

Add one year, subtract 3 months, and add 7 days from the first day of the last menstrual period.

Yay OB

What are the implications and treatment of Early, Late, and Variable decelerations?

Not sure Chase. I'll keep an eye out.

Based on another thread, why might one use gentamicin in cystic fibrosis for reasons other than an infection?

here is one from my class that i just took...

In WPW type A, what ECG changes will you see?

Talking about a delta wave? ("Slurred" upstroke on the QRS) I personally haven't heard of different "types" of WPW... But of course that doesn't mean they don't exist.

My questions is the use of aminoglycosides in cystic fibrosis for reasons other than infection.

type a has left atrioventricular connections (bundle of kent) showing a positive delta wave in V1

type b has right atrioventricular connections (bundle of kent) showing a negative delta wave in V1



Ok total shot in the dark here...do aminoglycosides help to repair/replace the malformed proteins that contribute to cystic fibrosis?

Due to their intrinsic mechanism of action on the ribosomes, they can cause a read-through phenomenon. Useful in the particular subset of CF where their disease is caused by a premature stop codon in the CFTR gene.

Wouldn't you worry about keeping a patient on aminoglycosides on a regular basis?

I believe this is typical anyway for CF patients (particularly inhaled) to manage their chronic pulmonary infections, particularly pseudomonas.

XII controls the tongue. So I'm going with that.
