aldosteron acts on d "late"dct and collecting duct....it does not act on d entire dct..hence d choice collecting duct....

 

[ashi]

plz help me for my confusion.i am studying from decks,asda papers,kaplan review notes.i have never studied nbde first aid.is that okey or nbde first aid is must.plz guide me.

 

[indianbds]

I do not know what else to do? I know this forum is for motivation, but please let me vent, after study 2 months straight 5 hours a day my scored was 89, I feel ashamed not just for my poor results but also I'm a disgrace to my family and friends all of them score 92 or plus on the first atempt . I will take this test again in January hopefully to get 94 or more

Hello,

So finally when u r planning to give ur exam?
N with what strategy this time? Bcoz u already got 89 n trying to get 94 somewhere, so ur plan will b very helpful for all of us......
So just post ur strategy plan this time here...................

 

[indianbds]

I have this q fron nbde dental aid q.a book.
when I go through the nbde aids basic there
no relation is given b/w DCT and aldosterone .relation of aldosterone and adh is given with collecting duct.I m really confused .Have u seen this question any where else what will b the probable answer

Finally I found written explaination in article. It is mentioned clearly that aldosterone and ADH both act on both sites like on DCT and collecting tubes but aldosterone will mainly acts on DCT by active absorption of Na there and ADH acts on Collecting tubes by reabsorption of water there.
Can u explain more if I am wrong...?

hi
I have read same that aldosterone and adh act on both dct n collectinf duct but never read any where that aldosterone mainly act on dct or ct
thats why I m confused.I vl find it n whenever i get the answer I vl definately share.Ur concepts are good can u tell ur studying strategy
what all books u read and how u memorize.After decks I m reading aids its little confusing.have u read aids.When u r going to take exam.

I don't understand can u explain more in detail

 

[appu09]

I don't understand can u explain more in detail

aldosterone acts on d latter part of dct where it is goin to join d collectin duct n d entire collecting duct.....n not d entire length of dct....hence d appropriate ans wud b collecting duct...

 

[gytbdc]

Thank you appu now I understand.

Q. The most common primary malignant neoplasm of the lung is
Adenocarcinoma or squamous cell carcinoma ?

 

[appu09]

Q. The most common primary malignant neoplasm of the lung is
Adenocarcinoma or squamous cell carcinoma ?

adenocarcinoma is more common dan squamous cell

 

[HOPE2DDS]

adenocarcinoma is more common dan squamous cell

Thanks for the quick reply, again the same confusion in decks its adenocarcinoma and asda squamous cell..!!!

 

[appu09]

its adeno for sure...given in text books too

 

[iomega]

Hey appu09, r u sure its adenocarcinoma coz i believe adenocarcinoma of lung is common in non smokers, but sq cell carcinoma is the most common lung cancer.
plz correct me if i m wrong.

 

[pbkal]

Q. The most common primary malignant neoplasm of the lung is
Adenocarcinoma or squamous cell carcinoma ?

i think the ans shud be squamos cell carcinoma,becos its the most common bronchiogenic carcinoma and accounts for 35%of lung cancers.
adenocarcinoma-25%.
given in decks clearly........
adenocarcinomas r more common in brest,prostrate,colorectal cancers.

 

[appu09]

Accounting for 25% of lung cancers,[19] squamous cell lung carcinoma usually starts near a central bronchus. A hollow cavity and associated necrosis are commonly found at the center of the tumor. Well-differentiated squamous cell lung cancers often grow more slowly than other cancer types.[3]
Adenocarcinoma accounts for 40% of lung cancers.[19] It usually originates in peripheral lung tissue. Most cases of adenocarcinoma are associated with smoking; however, among people who have never smoked ("never-smokers"), adenocarcinoma is the most common form of lung cancer.[20] A subtype of adenocarcinoma, the bronchioloalveolar carcinoma, is more common in female never-smokers, and may have different responses to treatment

[appu09]

evn kaplan review notes give it as adeno-35%...squamous next 30%...

 

[HOPE2DDS]

evn kaplan review notes give it as adeno-35%...squamous next 30%...

yes in kaplan review its adenocarcinoma but in kaplan q bank and asda they answer it as squamous cell carcinoma...!!!

 

[appu09]

well d wiki site i metioned above explains quite a bit...my ans wud stil b adeno...

Please explain this
Renal compensation of chronic metabolic alkalosis which of the following-
1.increased tubular synthesis of NH3
2.Partial reabsorption of filtered HCO3
3.elevated production of new HCO3
4.None of the above

answer is given partial reabsorption of Filtered HCO3 but there is already chronic metabolic alkalosis then why the hell it is reabsorbing more HCO3????

 

[toothfairy482]

Because instead of reabsorbing MOST of the HCO3 the kidneys reabsorb PARTIAL amount of HCO3 even in metabolic alkalosis. They cannot all of a sudden STOP reabsorption so they only reabsorb partial HCO3 to maintain homeostasis. Hope I made some sense.

Thanks for ur answer it make some sense and hats off to u that after 6 months u remember all concepts.Hey if u can please send me some link related to that.

Decrease in osmolarity of plasma after drinking large amount of water result in
1.increase in ADH
2.decrease in ADH level in blood
3.no change in the osmolarity of urine
4.increase in reabsorption of NaCl by tubules
5.marked increase in GFR due to decrease in colloid osmotic pressure

I know answer is decrease in ADH level in blood....is this due to feedback mechanism???

 

[jaskiran]

Hey guys where r u all.....please explain this question!!!!

 

[toothfairy482]

Yes, answer is 2 due to feedback mech.

 

[kidsteethyay]

Nevermind...

 

[jaskiran]

Yes, answer is 2 due to feedback mech.

Thanks toothfairy

look dear, this thread is for motivation not demotivation and yeah recently(just few days ago) my friend got into UOP with score of 88..so what are you talking about even without applying.. and there z no harm in retaking, just go ahead and retake, what the point of confuion or disgrace in this to you..go ahead and retake.. but please dont discourage others.. all the best to you.

This thread is for retakers not for motivation or demotivation issues, I'm not discouraging others, the only thing I'm doing is express how I feel that's all.

 

[MAXIMUS PRIME]

dude..if u r so stuck up...den be...but don discourage othrs...89 is an excellent score...n i dunno who u hav spoken to or frm wer u get such a mentality...but ppl wit 83 have got thru dds programs...3 frnds of mine have got thru...u wanna retake...go take it but don discourage othrs with half knowledge abt the admission procedre...

Unfortunately for people like your thinking who's idea is just to pass validate the license and make money, don't care about the americans and all the other people around different countries who live here a mediocre score shows also the mediocre way you're going to practice.

Were I come from my people is more spiritual there's a passage from one of my countrymans.

The main purpose of life is to live rightly, think rightly, act rightly. The soul must languish when we give all our thought to the body.

Stupidest post ever. Board scores mean nothing when it comes to how good of a dentist your going to be. Many people are very smart and can do great on board exams but may not have the hand skills or ethics to be a great dentist. Get off your soap box and stop thinking that your out to save the world

I agree with u omaralt.Seriously be practical in ur life.When patient comes to u he is not going to ask u about the marks u got in part 1 or part 2.So try to get into school and become good dentist.

anyone retaking and just starting, want to discuss on phone..please message me.my plan is to take a subject and at the end of completion/end of a week,we could ask each other questions to test basics and memory.Im a girl and got 86.I would prefer someone with the same frequency.Thank you.

e)deficiency in complement factors c6,c7 and c8 (lack of membrane attach complex)

3.In hypokalemia what happens to resting membrane potential:
Increases RMP
Decreases RMP
Increases hyperpolarization (coz potassium causes hyperpolaried state, so absence or decrease in potassium will cause increase hyperpolarization)
Decreases hyperpolarization

correct me if i m wrong.
