Hello guys,
I know that NBME 19 had been extensively discussed here but there're a few confusing points for me wish if anyone can help me with an explaination.
1-There a question about population genetics and the stem mention that (single gene disorder frequency is 1/40,000) why i considered this value as q2 (the disease frequency) not the q (allele frequency) it's an autosomal recessive disease or does single gene disorder mean something else?
2- in asthmatic patients what's the most likely part of the respiratory tract to have limited flow due to sm contraction? I answered brochioles.
3- there's a question about graves and asks about antibodies, i used to know during CK preparation that graves also have antithyroglobulin antiboies am i wrong?
4- a question about tumor grading, the answer keys say (Size) isn't that for staging .. i answered cell appearance and arrangement.
5- Bulimia question, i think it may have dental erosins on exam not caries .. why tachycardia isn't a right choice the patient is purging and use diuretics chronically for 2 years?
