Hola! Me again!
Drugs and their mechanisms can be difficult to remember.. I like pairing the action with the drug name to make it easy. We are doing anti-fungals today (Yaay!)
Mr. Ampho tears holes in the fungal membrane.
Mister rhymes with Nyster and it reminds me of Nystatin. Ampho is Amphotericin.
The word "Squatter" reminds me that Squalene epoxidase is inhibited by terbinafine.
Hey everyone!
We'll be learning about drugs that are used in Parkinson's disease.
Drugs and their mechanisms are hard to remember because they are soo many! I like pairing the action with the drug name to keep it simple!
Hey guys!
Did you know that the right gonadal vein, right suprarenal vein and the right inferior phrenic vein drain into the Inferior Vena Cava?
Really? Then where do the left sided veins drain?
Left renal vein!
How do I remember this? @_@
I use the "RIVer" buzzword to remember Right sided veins drain into the IVC.
The fact that the left gonadal vein (testicular vein) drains in the left renal vein is particularly high yield because 98% of idiopathic varicoceles occur on the left side.
SERMs are Selective estrogen receptor modulators.
They have varied effects on estrogen receptors in different tissues and it might get confusing (especially, effects of different drugs on the endometrium!) Mnemonic to the rescue! ^__^
Hey everyone!
Because the names are so hard to remember, I make silly associations out of them and I hope it helps you all too =)
Berksonian bias: Selection bias that arises from evaluating data on biased patients and hospital records only.
When it comes to Berksonian bias I think of Preston Berke from Grey's anatomy and I know that it's associated with the hospital and patients!
Pygmalion effect: The observer-expectancy effect is a form of reactivity in which a researcher's cognitive bias causes them to unconsciously influence the participants of an experiment.
Researchers are pigs. They think their research is always right. Pygmalion effect! xD
Hawthorne effect: When behavior of the subjects of the study change because they know they're being observed.
Haww I am being studied. Hawthorne effect!
That's all!
It is not necessary to remember these for most exams, but knowing them gives us a sense of completeness and makes us feel confident. Important for exams or not, I hope this post helps you! :)
As you go from M0 to M7, the cell is getting more and more differentiated.
WBCs, RBCs and Platelets is the order (wrap!)

We all know that the tensile strength of wound increases after 3 months after a type of collagen is replaced by another collagen.. But which one?
I remember the quote, "United we stand, divided we fall."
So first, type III collagen is laid. Then you unite the I's to make type I collagen :)
