I M currently studying for the Med Block test 1...
Previous students said that the test was very very ( again, very very and the word 'very' goes on...) difficult...
Oklaa, while im studying i wanna share something here...

1. The most lethal mushroom in the world--> (Not Aim Dinbo,) but Amanita phylloides!

2. Mirizzi's Syndrome: Obstructive jaundice secondary to compression of the common hepatic duct by a gallstone impacted in the cystic duct, often associated with cholangitis.

3. PSG aka Paris St Germain, is a club where currently the founder of so called 'The Makalele' role playing, Claude Makalele himself! But in relation to my revision, i have made a pneumonic, PSG 2A 2C for drugs that caused obstructive jaundice-->

4. Budd Chiari Syndrome: Hepatic Vein Obstructionby thrombosis or tumor causing ischaemia and hepatocyte damage, presenting with liver failure or insidious cirrhosis.

5. In hepatitis B infection,
-HBsAg (surface antigen)-present from 1-6 months after exposure
-HBeAg (e antigen)- present from 1-3.5 month after acute illness [ high infectivity]
-Persistent HBsAg> 6months indicates carrier status and occurs in 5-10% of chronic infections
-Anti-HBc implies past infections
-Anti-HBs implies vacciation

6. Monosodium Glutamate aka AJINOMOTO (sometimes being used in junkfruit) if excessively consume can cause activation of CD4 T Helper Cell in the genesis of autoimmune hepatitis! So, kurangkan or delete terus AJINOMOTO in our diet!!!
