I'm studying in the health field and don't want to forget what I've learn. I hope this will help me retain them and maybe challenge you guys too!
1) What is the strongest bone in the body?
2) What is the strongest muscle in the body?
* More to come, feel free to add*

1.) Femar
2.) Quadracep. If its pound for pound, I'd say the tongue.
Ua Tsaug.
-
1) Femur is an acceptable answer.
2) Clarification: Which muscle is the strongest for pounds per square inch? The tongue is the most often incorrect response.

But I did get Quadriceps right didn't i?
-
But I did get Quadriceps right didn't i?
Not the Quads.
Answer: (You won't find the answer online easily, but I've seen bits and pieces of the correct answer)
For guys: It's not the tongue, not the quads, and definitely not the phallus. It's the masseter mucle. It can put out about 60 pounds of pressure per square inch. The strongest muscle in the known universe is the uterus. It can generate about 120 pounds of pressure per square inch. A woman's uterus can crush any male organ if given a chance.
Thanks for playing. O0

Vanco & Bactrim are first line of defense, then move down the line of other antibiotics.
Best way to cure MRSA and any other diseases: DEATH
-
Which cranial nerve originated from the vomeronasal epithelium. It projects to the cerebral hemisphere in the region of the olfactory trigone. It courses anteriorly along the olfactory tract and passes thru the ethmoid bone. it communicates with the nasal cavity with the opthalmic divison (V1) of the trigeminal nerve?
What cranial nerve and whats the name?
-
My guess is CN I, olfactory nerve.
-
Name two causes of bilateral Bell's palsy?
-
Okay, let's try another....
What Hmong clan is the most numerous in population world wide? (Um you have 18 guesses but only one will suffice)
-

Right on the meds but....
I believe the best tx is.... Incision and drain.
As far as numerous clan, got to be the yang. Just a guess though.

wow! you people are so smart that you have to come online to quiz everyone. wow!

We are no smarter than the next person. By keeping our minds stimulated, this should be us sharp into our ripe old age. Besides, there are researches out there that says these types of silly games can ward off Alzheimer Disease.
As the the most numerous clan, (as of 10 years ago) it was Vang follow very closely by Yang. There is a huge gap from the top two and the rest. The Vang's gain in great number during the reign of GVP; i.e. preferential treatment and bias.
-

I believe you are correct for treating an abscess or wound. The bug is called Staphylococcus aureus, and in the case of MRSA, it spreads hematogenously . Unfortunately, once a patient is given this label, there will always be total isolation for all consequent visits. So one cannot be rid of MRSA, that is why I said death is the best Tx. Anyhow, we are both right!

Given:
an object falls down at 9.8m/s2 (meter per second squared)
If a penny is dropped from the top of the Empire State Building (1,454 feet or 443 meters) and an average penny weighs 3.1g. What is the speed when it strikes the ground?
1) Is the speed when it hits the ground?
2) Faster than a bullet?
3) Can it kill?
-

Agree! It might not ward off, but it will delay the onset of Alzheimer's. People are encouraged to take on increasingly difficult brain challenges to improve cognitive function, diet changes and maintaining a social life to try to slow cognitive decline and lower the risk for Alzheimer's. I, myself is not a specialist, but have worked in this field for a long time. As a Life Enrichment Coordinator, my job is to supervise and provide meaningful and richful activity program that appropriately meet the physical, social, cultural, spiritual, emotional, and recreational needs and interests of my residents. So, I do appreciate that we are exercising our brain, mentally and physically. Its going to be worth it on the long run....

Speaking of ways to keep your brain functioning well, I was reading an article about eating healthy.
It's been said time and time before eat healthy blah blah because it's good for your health...but there is proof now, although the experiment was done on lab rats...the test cannot be overlooked!
Rats was fed junk food vs healthy food.
The rats that was fed junk food forgot how to navigate a maze they had previously been able to with regular healthy food. The rats that was on the regular food still remembered how to navigate the maze.
So all you folks probably want to lessen your junk food intake if you want to keep your cognitive functions.
AS far as the penny goes, yes it will kill, it's been to long since physic's and can't remember the formula anymore, I'm not going to look it up. But it's not hard to figure out the speed.
-
The penny from the Empire State Building:
In theory, it should travel faster than a bullet. Emptying your pockets should make you a serial killer on top of the building. I won't bore you with the equation. Even if a penny was fired with a gun from the top of the building, it cannot kill anyone. WHY?
All objects have a terminal velocity. The terminal velocity of a penny is about 65 mile/hour. Try this: tape a penny from an over-pass bridge and drive 65MPH, stick your head out, WHAM,...That's all.
*With the internet, you can just google it, or watch it on Myth Buster(Season 3 episode 4).
-
Give two examples of "mob taw vwm". There are numerous conditions that fits this vague Hmong term. Name the top two (or more if you want).
-
I'm going to go with gout. It's the only one I can think of right now
-
*Ding, ding, ding*
We have a winner!
Gout and Diabetes are the most common cause for Hmong 'Taw vwm'. Other causes include; cellulitis, infections (parasitic, fungal, and bacterial), puncture wound, etc...

Health Field huh?
I got a question, how does one stop an carotid bleed? Right there on the neck?
I don't know that's why I'm asking. I'm gonna have to google it myself! REally all you can do is direct pressure?
-
Yup, just apply pressure to stop the blood flow. BUT then, no blood to the brain!!! Not really...colla teral circulation from the other carotid is enough to keep you alive. Most likely the surgeon will anastamose the severed vessel.
*That's why sometimes after cutting the chicken's neck, and it is still able to run away. Someone did not cut both the carotid!
-
my guess:
strongest bone (almost wrote boner, but deleted the r) is that one in your leg. But then, that means there are two of them so maybe that's not the correct answer unless you consider them as one bone which would be incorrect on your part. Hmm.. that means it would have to be the only bone that's one bone and not duplicated. That's gonna be hard to guess..
Strongest muscle? Heart because it keeps on working and working without a need to take a rest and works from the day it was created to the day you die.
-
Terminal nerve, aka cranial nerve zero :D
-
C'mon man, there's no never zero, is there?
-
Why not? Look up CN 0 aka terminal nerve. ;D
-
I guess I'll play along...
What does the animal zygote undergo?
-
Since a zygote is the union of an egg and sperm, it will undergo cleavage first.
-
Assuming that the zygote will survive and becomes a human baby,
1) The sex chromosome is XY... What happens if the mullerian inhibiting substance is allowed to function normally and not stoppted?
-
Now you've got me pondering..... . We are familiar with "shemales" but, what the heck would you call a man with an actual vagina?...... :o :o :o
-
Only two ways a man can have a vagina
1) The mullerian inhibiting substance works, ie the Y chromosome is functional; therefore all the internal organs are male. What failed to developed properly is the secondary sex organs, which is under the control of the testes. The testes did not function properly and the receptors failed to get the signal to develop secondary sex organs.
2) Vaginoplasty
-
Another one,
You just fell into the freezing cold water while visiting a polar bear exibition in the North Pole, your body starts showing frostbites; ultimately you would die but, what happens to your body if you cannot get treated?
-
1) Shiver to generate heat
2) Feel hungry and nausea (body is demanding food to supply the energy needed for creating heat)
3) Once you pass that stage, apathy sets in. Core body temp drops further.
4) Confusion
5) Lethargy
6) Slur speech with transient consciousness
7) Coma
8) Eternal slumber
Right?
-
You went to a Halloween Party. A man dressed up as Papa Smurf showed up. Impressed by his extremely detailed custom, you asked what he used to dye his entire body? He said that he has a medical condition, and this is what happened once treatment started.
1) What is his condition?
2) What is the treatment?
-
Maybe I worded the question too "broad"... I was looking for things like Ischemia and etc.
I'm sorry but, I don't know what a Papa Smurf is.... I'm assuming this condition has something to do with pigments.
BTW, what are you aiming to become in the medical field? A certain specialty?
Just curious from another future medical professional. :) O0

Right?
1) Shiver to generate heat...peripheral vasoconstricti on...maintain core temp...preserv e core temp.
2) Feel hungry and nausea (body is demanding food to supply the energy needed for creating heat)
chemorecptor in the medulla will trigger hunger and nausea
3) Once you pass that stage, apathy sets in. Core body temp drops further.
4) Confusion
5) Lethargy
6) Slur speech with transient consciousness
7) Coma
8) Eternal slumber
3-8 The extreme cold will cause complete vasoconstricti on leading to tissue ischemia then necrosis. All the blood will be diverted to vital organs only. In time, the core temperature cannot be maintained. The body slows down all metabolism. This will effect all aspect of the body. Your brain is the last organ to go. Even with extreme bradycardia, the brain will extract as much as it can. Therefore, even after the heart has stopped, a person can still be resuscitate back to life. Once the point of no return has reached (about 6 minutes--brain dead), all hope is gone.

I am an M.D. only on Pebhmong. Working on my Ph.D. in Pebhmong as well. I also freelance as an armchair anthropologist in many of these forums.
In the medical field, only a small bit of information is given to you. You must find those details and formulate the possibilities. The man in question has blue skin. He did not dye his skin for any reason. (Blue skin) He stated that he has a medical condition. After he started treatment, his skin turned blue.
In medicine, you are expected to work backwards. So, his blue skin must be a side effect of a treatment. Next, what drug would do this? Once you know the drug, you know what kind of medical condition he has.
Another way of asking the same question (the above is what separates an A student from an average one). A man comes to your ER with syncope. A battery of tests were done. The diagnoses was confirmed with an EKG (bingo). You prescribed a medication and was sent home after overnight observation. This same man showed up a month later with blue skin. He stated that nothing changed in his life. He asked if eating blueberries could have caused this? What was his condition and what medication was given?

I know the answer to this, I forgot what it's called. He was eating something and it was stored in his body turning his skin a blue-ish color.

It's this! I saw this on YouTube a while ago.
He is the human beast!

-
That guy on Youtube had a skin condition and he put something on his skin to treat it. Wrong answer. Try again.
The guy at the Halloween Part, aka Papa Smurf, had a condition that was confirmed by EKG (1)? He was treated for this condition. He came back and looking all blue. What medication was given to him (2)?
1) What was the medical condition?
2) What was the drug?
-
Man, I don't know but from your clues and my limited medical knowledge I'm going to add that to my logic... And say he was having a heart attack? Myocardial infarction?
Blue guy=cyanosis
Papa smurf=cyanosis over the whole body? (Is that even possible?)
But you ran an EKG=so that's means the diagnosis has something to do with the heart?
Cyanosis means blue usually from lack of blood. Heart pumps the blood.
So that's how we come to my conclusion. Treatment isssss nitroglycerin under the tongue?
Speaking of heart attacks.... Reminds me of a story I thought was funnie. Anyways, there was this kid that had s.o.b. in my head I was like "he's just a weakass". But anyways so the paramedics were on scene and they tossed him up on the stretcher....
Then all of a sudden the kid starts freaking out and starts saying "my right arm! It's going numb! I can't feel it! It's starting to go numb!!" I guess he thought he was having a heart attack. Then the paramedic says to him "it's just the blood pressure cuff, relax". Hahah. Halarious.
-
Papa Snuff had an arrhythmia that was confirmed by EKG. Amiodarone is a drug that can be used to treat this. One of the few bad side effects is a permanent bluish gray skin.

I've learned that you can have all the book smarts in existence, but if you can't apply it to the real world, it's worthless.

That is so true. Luckily, I am neither smart nor wise so I have nothing to prove. I am here out of boredom and for entertainment only.
Here is an easier one: what disease is the result of too much dopamine? Conversely, name the disease if the level of dopamine is too low?
-
The answers you seek is in the true story movie "Awakenings" with Robin Williams.
Good movie and there was a part I thought was funnie.

Here's another one:
An older Hmong guy complains about abdominal pain. He presents with rebound tenderness. Does not feel like eating or drinking. In the prone position, leg raise is painful. Jumping up and down elevate his pain to a 10 of out 10. Everything points towards appendicitis.. .except, the pain is localized on the left side and NOT at Mcburney's point. What can it be?

Real case during my training years-
40 yo F, hx of seronegative spondyloarthro pathy, previously on Enbrel, presents to the ER with a complaint of abdominal pain and SOB. On examination, abdomen was distended with diffuse petechiae. She complains of a burning like sensation to the skin. Pain is 10/10. Non radiating. Vitals: 95/76, 124, 20, 98.0, 99% O2sat on RA. Lab show leukocytosis, and anemia. Ct of the chest showed bilateral diffuse nodular opacity. Ct of the abdomen suggested constipation vs ileus.
What are your ddx? Or other questions that may help u narrow ur ddx?
