It was apparently decided in curriculum committees that these decisions are made as joint MS1/MS2 faculty decisions and not everyone was in agreement.

As you've probably seen, the vote for MLC2 was 54% for moving class to Tuesday and 46% was for keeping class on Wednesday, and for some reason, the class was not moved, even though the majority (however slim) decided that it didn't want that. Several individuals now have to travel more than 6 hours on Wednesday afternoon (which, reminding you that its the day before Thanksgiving, will be awful). I understand that most people probably don't want to do all of that vasculitis workbook a day earlier than needed, and neither do I, but traveling is a pain, and I'd prefer to drive in the day and not with the rest of America as they travel to be with loved ones. Hopefully someone will read this and allow the majority vote to actually happen.

I put C too, thinking malignancy just meant something that could lead to death.

Yeah, it said in the case (about halfway down page 3) that elevated sweat chloride was one aspect of celiac disease without the gluten free diet. I thought it was C, too.

Malignancy often refers to a deathly condition as well as to tumors specifically. Considering poorly managed CF can lead to pneumonia and FTT, among other things, would it not be appropriate to include in the answer of 13 A and B, making the answer C? I understand Celiac's includes an increased chance of malignant tumors but the term malignancy itself is not strictly confined to tumors, right?

I read somewhere that there is an increase in sweat Cl- in celiac disease until the patient is put on a gluten free diet. Why is this wrong and if it's not then shouldn't question 4 on the quiz be "C"?

based on what the case itself says and what Dr. Shanley put as the answer to quiz question #10… i'd have to go with no. the patient has a myeloproliferative disorder, just not one that fits any specific criteria to be named.

What's the deal? Does this pt have PV or not?

Hi everyone,
Two things I thought everyone should know…
First: Cmap has an organizing feature that can untangle all your arrows and concepts instantly, saving valuable time, and making things easier to read. Go to 'Format' then 'Autolayout' and select 'Generate New Layout.' Play with the options there to get the kind of formation you like. Striking 'Generate New Layout' again gives you an alternative arrangement with the same settings.
Second: The rumor that this is a 1.5 credit per term, pass/fail class is false. Check the policy. According to Karen it is an eleven credit class, and all the grades for the first two years are applied at the end of our second year- seriously impacting our GPA then if we slack off now.
Happy grading-
Irony

Without involvement of the glomeruli, how is the high serum creatinine explainable. Creatinine is filtered and very little or non is reabsorbed by the tubules, so tubular damage alone doesn't seem to cut it, unless there's another explanation out there for the high serum creatinine levels.

Here is a general article on the whole process in general-it may be useful.

Yeah, he specifically said he didn't think this was glomerunephritis.

Hey all,
I think in class he hinted at the fact that kidney disease can present in several ways, and that this patient did not present as a glomerulonephritis, but rather a tubularnephritis symptomatically. Therefore, regaurdless of whether it CAN happen in Q fever, I feel like given the patient presentation, what was more likely to happen is direct infection of the tubules.

I still think his hematocrit is unremarkable. It's on the low side of normal. Probably not a big deal.

Seeing as it's up in the air how this person had kidney issues, here's a granuloma article seems pretty helpful. Probably good to double check it with what you have already seeing as it isn't C. Burnettii specific.

check out the acute-phase reaction article, the shan-man has a link in the "sepsis terminology" section. you should find your answer there.
