Thanks evry1...I reali appreciate ...any pharmacologist in d house?

fedico21: Hello fellow medics,happy new month. Starting pathology(general pathology) classes tomorrow, below is my first heart breaker . Please help me out and with clinical reason.....the answer to the question below.

A 4month year old child was discovered dead by his mother in the morning. He was said to be in a good heath a night before. Autopsy investigation and coroner's report show nothing significant after few days. The pathogenesis of this condition is best explained by

a) malnutrition
b) chromosomal abnormalities
c) known malformations
d) cardiopulmonary failure
e) infections of the meninges.

@

no one seems interested in dis question....... well I think it is Chromosomal abnormalities....An Autopsy(to see with one's own eyes) may show malformations, signs of causes cardiopulmonary failure in the heart....faulty valves.. etc ...., an autopsy can also show infection of d menings ( autopsy of the meninges of The brain shows an abnormal condition—
yellow-tan clouding of the meninges, the
three layers of membranes covering the
brain—caused by a viral or bacterial
infection......since d child was healthy there is not possible way he or she could be malnourished...... chromosomal abnormalities is d only option that wouldn't come out in autopsy......DNA testing is very different from autopsy......



@lagusta: Pls if I may ask why do u fink it is cardiopulmonary infection
@alkonami; Pls if I may ask why did you fink the answer is infection of the menings....

is it true that When animals are
slaughtered, fear and aggression enzymes
are shot into their muscle tissue and They
remain in the meat until the consumer
ingests the flesh and adapts the same
emotions. but Fruits and vegetables do not
have emotions; therefore, when they are
picked they do not release any emotional
cells prior to digestion.. . . if this is true then been a vegetarian isn't a bad idea. .

Said my ans is/was D.. Chose it because I tnk it may b d cause of this infant's unexplained death,. CP failure May be a cause of sudden infant death syndrome..

But looking critically @ d option given, each of the disease entities can give a pathology which can be seen on autopsy.(D question dey somehow sef)

You chose chromosomal abnormality, u knw d question said ''an apparently healthy child", people with this abnormality don't fall into this category I think,
Which is one of d reasons I doubt ma answer.. So I think the guy that asked d question should be in a better position to give us d answer and reason

1) Notice the age of the patient. 4 months old baby.
Also , notice the onset of death. Sudden death.
Notice the clinical history. The baby was in an apparently normal state of health. Notice the failure of autopsy to show what caused the death. What then could it be?

2) An infection of the meninges would show purulent exudate on autopsy (assuming it's bacterial) and our patient would have had a running temperature.

3) A congenital anomaly will usually run a chronic course, if the baby survives in utero. Our patient had an acute onset. The patient was normal remember? So rule out congenital.

4) Sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS) is defined as the sudden death of an infant younger than 1 year that remains unexplained after a thorough case investigation, including the performance of
complete autopsy, examination of the scene of death, and review of the clinical history.
The underlying pathophysiology is a cardiorespiratory mechanism. It is a diagnosis of exclusion.

Yes u totally agree with you....but genetical factors Av been linked to SIDS.... for example. males children are more prone to have SIDS than female children

this statistics is straight from Wikipedia

Genetics
There is a consistent 50% male excess in
SIDS per 1000 live births of each sex.
Given a 5% male excess birth rate, there
appears to be 3.15 male SIDS cases per 2
female, for a male fraction of 0.61. [3][4]
This value of 61% in the US is an average
of 57% black male SIDS, 62.2% white
male SIDS and 59.4% for all other races
combined. Note that when multiracial
parentage is involved, infant "race" is
arbitrarily assigned to one category or the
other; most often it is chosen by the
mother. The X-linkagehypothesis for SIDS
and the male excess in infant mortality
have shown that the 50% male excess
could be related to a dominant X-linked
allele , occurring with a frequency of 1⁄ 3
that is protective of transient cerebral
anoxia. An unprotected XY male would
occur with a frequency of 2 ⁄ 3 and an
unprotected XX female would occur with a
frequency of 4 ⁄ 9. The ratio of 2 ⁄ 3 to 4 ⁄ 9 is
1.5 to 1, which matches the observed
male 50% excess rate of SIDS.

We're good, I guess. Personally, I'm good - physically, mentally, "stuffically" .

Hope you are good too.

Top of the morning to everyone !

What is the normal pass mark for pharmacy courses? Is it 40% as usual?

Samgreguc: What is the normal pass mark for pharmacy courses? Is it 40% as usual?

its 50%
some courses like jurisprudence require 60%

lomaxx:

Unilag

Samgreguc: What is the normal pass mark for pharmacy courses? Is it 40% as usual?

It might be so in 100level(varies in schools) but definitely not in 200L and above where the pass mark is either 50% or 60% in dispencing and pharm. law courses.

Physiotherapy is 5 years in Nigeria. And I know it deals with mobility and recovery from fractures and other injuries. You can try Wikipedia if you want to read up on your course.. Physiotherapists in the house can also help out..
