Books include: Pharmacology Physiology Physiology “notes” Microbiology/Immunology OMM Biochemistry/Nutrition/Genetics Anatomy/Behavioral/Biostats/Neurology

I’m a 4th year student who is trying to sell my L-shaped desk. It is a combo of real and composite wood. Great desk, and is heavy. It is originally 1800$ selling for 350. Anyone interested contact me tyler williams through vcom email jtwilliams@vcom.vt.edu. Thanks

Oops.

What I was trying to say is that the volume ejected at the end of systole is up, i.e., increased. My bad. Sorry.

Please replace the note under slide 23 with the following:

Cardiac reserve is a critical concept. It gives you the ability to increase the work your muscles, GI tract, etc . As demanding as running a marathon or rising from a chair. Loss of cardiac reserve = loss of exercise tolerance.

ESV is ~~increased~~ decreased because of increased contractility or decreased afterload. Both occur and may occur concurrently.

HR is increased because of a change in autonomic status and/or Bainbridge reflex (more about that later).

EDV is increased because of increased venous return. Always keep in mind that there is most often blood available in the venous side of the systemic circulation.

LP1 Grades

admin — Fri, 20 Apr 2012 19:29:13 +0000

Dear Student Doctors,

Here are the stats for LP1.

Grade	Frequency (n)	%
A	65	35
B	86	46
C	12	6
D	1	1
F	0	0
*Max*	98
*Min*	68

So 35% of the class earned “A”, 46% “B”, etc.

Well done.

Yes, I pitched the horrible thoracic duct question and the ambiguous median glossoepiglottic fold question. Likewise the Wall, question on which rib for auscultation from posterior aspect

With regards to t duct, I cannot undo what has been done during a dissection. I understand that it is difficult sometimes to dissect structures and what we see is what we get. Sometimes things are no longer in the expected position. We can’t undo that and if there are no better examples available, I have little choice. We may have better luck once we remove the heart and we can try againJ. I hope I have helped you prepare for your CM Pulmonary exam on Monday. Good luck with that and …… Take a little time to enjoy your weekend.

Anatomy Quiz 6 – from your plastination lab

admin — Thu, 01 Dec 2011 16:56:37 +0000

Quiz 6 – from your plastination lab

Dear friends- We have a winner of the 5^th quiz. Congratulations to Student Doctor Hasan Ahmad (OMSII).

Below are the correct answers.

See M and D pp 128-135

Question 1. The transverse pericardial sinus.
Question 2. Phrenic (C3-5)- somatosensory, Vagus-parasympathetic (role is uncertain), paravertebral sympathetic chain-vasomotor
Question 3. Fluid accumulation in the pericardium leads to cardiac tamponade. This decreases the ability of the heart to fill in diastole, output drops, circulation fails. With tamponade venous return decreases. Increased pressure within the SVC frequently engorges the veins of the neck and face. Can you say JVD?

The sixth anatomy quiz will be posted today in the library.

Here is the prize for Quiz 6. This is a LED type micro-reading lamp emblazoned with a VCOM logo. What’s really desirable about this lamp is that it uses common AAA batteries not expensive watch batteries.

The rules:

1. Only one submission per quiz per person.

2. Members of the Anatomy discipline are not eligible.

3. The determination of a winner is final.

6. Winners will have the choice of whether or not they wish their name to appear as the winner.

To play go to the library and look for the question at the plastination display.

Send your answers to:

anatomy_quiz@vcom.vt.edu

The correct answers will be posted when the next quiz is made available in the library.

Free Professional Writer for Vcomdo

admin — Mon, 31 Oct 2011 11:19:50 +0000

Hi there,

Hope keeping well. I’m just getting in touch to ask if you’re open to reviewing content from freelance writers at Vcomdo – if so, I’d love to put together a high-quality article written specifically for the site. I’m 29 and have been working as a professional writer and researcher for five years now, and in that time there isn’t a lot I haven’t already covered (I’ve attached a few samples below for you to check out).

As long as you’re happy with the resulting material, you’d be welcome to publish it as you see fit and the content will be owned by you entirely (in that I won’t send it to anyone else, either before or after publication).

There is absolutely no charge for this and no strings attached; the only thing I would ask in return is that I’m able to include a link to a site of my choosing within the article – nothing shady or unethical, just one of the professional businesses I freelance for.

Do let me know if you’re interested, and if so I can get something written for you over the course of the next few days. Needless to say, the offer is open to any other sites you might own as well as vcomdo.com. I appreciate you may not be interested in this kind of mutual back-scratching however, so if I don’t hear from you, no offence taken and I won’t trouble you again.

Very best,
Izzy Woods

Mock Practical info

admin — Tue, 25 Oct 2011 19:21:41 +0000

Hey Guys,

The mock practical is set up for you guys to use until tomorrow evening around 9 PM. Just a few things:

1. Attached is the answer sheet for you to print and bring with you. there will be some copies in the lab but it is best to bring your own to avoid clutter
2. Please leave questions and bones/ pictures where they are out of respect for your fellow classmates who are trying to study
3. Keep the Questions and bones together. please dont separate them. all we have to use as a reference is the answer sheet to set back up so just dont do it (Palmeiri reference)

Anyway, good luck on your upcoming practical I’m, sure you will do great.

I included a lot of fracture images that i thought would be helpful. I hope this is a good representation of what you guys have been learning.

Thanks,
Kevin Coppedge

Typhoid Fever Vaccination for Christmas Mission Trips/Foreign Trips

admin — Tue, 04 Oct 2011 02:39:43 +0000

Hello!

I hope you're all doing well on your finals. Best of luck.

I had purchased a Typhoid Fever Vaccination (Live, Oral/Tablets) for my mission trip to Honduras back in April of this year, however, I never used it and I would like to offer it to anyone for $20.00 (I paid $50.00). This will last for a couple of years, however, the expiration is 10/31/2011, so the vaccination needs to be taken very soon. This will be useful for anyone going abroad for any mission trip or for fun in any endemic areas.

Please email me at desaing@gmail.com if you are interested!

Thanks!

Recycling at VCOM

admin — Sun, 11 Sep 2011 20:57:32 +0000

Greetings all,

I wanted to take a few seconds to introduce myself and give everyone an update on the recent recycling initiative taken in the main building at VCOM. I’m Ryan Stewart, a 4th year VCOM student who, with the help of a Blacksburg real estate agent, created a curbside recycling company in the NRV during my first year of school at VCOM. For many years the recycling bins inside the building at VCOM were not used for recycling, but rather as overflow containers for trash. This is no longer the case. VCOM partnered with our company, Valley Curbside Recycling, earlier in the year to manage all recycling at the school. We pick up your recyclables twice per week and deliver them to the Montgomery Regional Solid Waste Authority.

In order for this partnership to be worthwhile, we need your help and attention to detail. We’re asking that you please place only recyclables in the receptacles marked for recycling. This material is being recycled and contamination with things like gloves from the anatomy lab or dirty diapers only undermine our goal.

I created Valley Curbside Recycling because I believe that the health of a community starts with the environment in which it is rooted and I’m happy that our school is setting an example for the community. Below you’ll find a list of items we take. I am happy to answer any questions you might have.

Thanks for your help,

Ryan Stewart

Fungi Organizational Chart Round 2

drobertson — Wed, 31 Aug 2011 02:33:56 +0000

Just tried to post this once…didn’t post the actual file…go figure. Anywho, hopefully it will work this time.

You’ll note that they are organized by infections, as there are multiple genera and species of fungi that cause nearly identical symptoms (just how Palmieri organized them, as well as the book).

There are two sheets: one with all the cutaneous infections and another with the systemic and opportunistic infections. Each chart is already set up to print to three sheets a piece in a landscape format.

-Dwight
Fungi Organizational Chart

**UPDATE: As I was studying over the chart, I realized that I fairly serious error: Under the opportunistic infections, cryptococcus I placed Melassezia furfur…this is obviously incorrect. I was up late working on this and mistook the bullet point C on slide 8 in lecture 5 of the fungi (“Medical Mycology: Opportunistic Mycoses”) as the abbreviated form of Cryptococcus (e.g., T. mentagrophytes for Trichophyton mentagrophytes). So, obviously this should be in its own little box. My mistake and a thousand apologies.

Radiology Interest Group Meeting â?? FREE FOOD

admin — Sun, 28 Aug 2011 16:22:41 +0000

We will be having a Radiology Interest Group meeting on Thursday, September 1^st at 6:00PM in the 2^nd floor lounge. Dr. Lo will be presenting GI imaging as well as some general CT anatomy and GI angiography.

First years, I realize that you all are probably drowning in biochem fun and don’t have a lot of spare time but we would love to have you come by and have some free food (with a little bit of learning). It is my promise to you that the meeting will be at least as fun as all of that biochem.

We will have pizza and drinks so please drop me an email(vcomrads@gmail.com) if you think you might be attending so that I can have an idea of how much food to get.

Thank you,

Britt Groseclose

Hi 2015ers,

I’m not sure if you are aware, but we have a very active club at VCOM called the Student National Multicultural Association. Earlier this year our class put on a dazzling presentation that included traditional Indian dancing, piano compositions, a drumming professor, and much more. One of our performers, Mark Balino (an accomplished pianist) chose to take requests towards the end of last year for a CD. I would like to announce that these requests have been recorded, and we have uploaded them to VCOMDO podcast for your enjoyment!!! Mark is requesting donations (any amount you feel is appropriate) on behalf of the SNMA club so that we can make the next SNMA event even better than the last! Please make these donations directly to Angelee Sayles or Jordan Assadi (Class of 2014)

Thanks,

Analogy for Acid-Base Compensation

admin — Sat, 06 Aug 2011 17:41:24 +0000

Class of 2015,

After washing my hands in the bathroom, I though of an analogy.

Proper water temp for hand washing = normal blood pH
Hot water = PCO2
Cold water = HCO3

Hot water knob = lungs
Cold water knob = kidneys

We need warm/hot water (normal blood pH) for "proper hand washing" but sometimes it gets too hot, how will we ever deal with this? Yes! We compensate. How?

We simply turn on the cold water knob to compensate for the hot water.

Same with the lungs and kidneys with Acid Base Compensation.
Problem with water being too hot? Turn on the cold water knob (kidneys) to compensate for hot water (PCO2). Problem with water being too cold? Turn on the hot water knob (lungs) to compensate for cold water (HCO3).

It’s not fool-proof, I’m sure one of you guys could break this analogy apart. If it works great! If not, continue on with your studying!

Now you can study and wash your hands at the same time!

I know every rising third year is trying to sell, get rid of, or perhaps burn some of their books. I wanted to join. I have MANY books that are on the 1^st and 2^nd year required reading lists and would be happy to sell them to whoever is interested. Many of them have not even been opened (I’m more of a power point guy), most of them are in brand-new condition. There are a few with some highlights but they are all in excellent condition. I will price them lower than the lowest used price on Amazon. Contact me if you are interested. Phone or email are both ok.

Path lab outline amendment

ydu — Fri, 10 Jun 2011 23:13:30 +0000

A friend pointed out 2 mistakes in the path outlines I posted.

Aneurysm minor risk factors should not include diabetes, female, and African American (those actually lower the risk)

Renal changes in hypertension should be decreased kidney size (\/) not increased.

I have corrected them and re-posted only the 2 involved here. Corrections are underlined.

Sorry, I didn’t think to tell the Anatomy Lab staff about the mock practical, so it was mostly thrown out this morning. However, the answer keys are still on the counter and the numbers have been placed on the bodies, so if you want to try and reverse-engineer it, you can. My apolagies again.

Adventure Race Delayed until the Fall

admin — Sat, 21 May 2011 02:35:33 +0000

Hello Fellow VCOMer’s,

Due to a low number of registered participants and the feedback received from several classmates the Adventure Race has been delayed. It is our goal for the Adventure Race to take place during the next academic year, shortly after class resumes in August.

The Sports Medicine Officers are going to design the new race based on feedback we have received from several classmates in an effort to facilitate higher participation and make the overall race experience more fun. We want to thank everyone who offered feedback on ways to improve the race. For teams that registered for the race we apologize for this delay and appreciate your understanding.

The Sports Medicine Club looks forward to hosting a new and improved version of the Adventure Race in the fall.

Thank you for your understanding.

Hey guys,

I know many of us are having difficulty writing SOAP notes or just wish we could write a better one. Both Dana and I worked as scribes in an ER last year. We fortunately had templates to work off of and here are a few of them. I have included a template for a chest pain complaint, shortness of breath complaint, and shortness of breath/pulmonary embolus complaint. The spaces in the chart are where you would add in your own comments. We figured this would mainly be helpful to give everyone a template to go through in order to ask all the appropriate questions during history taking and ROS. If you have any questions about the charts or SOAP notes in generally just come ask us!

If anyone is able to switch ECE groups with me I would really appreciate it. I am in group 7 and in order to make it to her graduation I would either need to be in group 4/5 in the morning on 5/27 or any of the groups 9-13 on the following Friday. Please email me at sspringfield@vcom.vt.edu or call 218-841-3439 if you are able to switch!

CCC Pulm Study Guide

admin — Tue, 03 May 2011 01:08:44 +0000

Somethings I omitted due to time

1. Dr. Georges Cases- Good supplements with his lectures no need to put it on here

2. Radiology- Too many pictures to cut and copy

3. Dr. DT Rawlins Respiratory Infections Lecture- Ran out of time.

Everything else is on there with the big key points that were stressed in class.

Enjoy

Hey 1st and 2nd years,

My cousin, Jennifer, is a second year pre-med undergraduate student at Virginia Tech and plans to take organic chemistry during their summer session. She is in need of a place to live in Blacksburg from mid-May to early/mid-June and would obviously contribute her share to rent and utilities. If you (or someone you know) have an extra bedroom and are interested in having a roommate for about 4 weeks, please e-mail me: sobenchain@vcom.vt.edu. Jennifer is clean, quiet, and studious so would be an agreeable roommate!

Thank you for your consideration,

It’s National Osteopathic Medicine (NOM) Week!

This is the time to celebrate DOs all over the nation and simultaneously increase the awareness of osteopathic medicine and DOs in our community. We often speak on the fact that many people do not know what a DO is, but it is our charge to change this. Make a goal this week to let someone know about DOs and osteopathic medicine. Your goal could be as small as talking to 5 patients or people you meet about who we are and what we are all about. Let’s DO our part.

I have just returned from my final Council of Osteopathic Student Government Presidents (COSGP) Meeting as your SGA President, held in Baltimore,Md. This meeting was held in conjunction with AACOM and AODME (Association of Osteopathic Directors of Medical Education), and offered a TON of great information. Some great topics we covered focused on Student Loan Repayment, COMLEX Level 1 & 2 advice and information from NBOME, and Graduate Medical Education (residency) information. Please visit the COSGP website (address below) for more information on these topics. Much of what was discussed at the meeting has not yet been added, but I will notify you as new material is posted to the website. Thanks!

Quick and dirty.

Tobey & Gordon's lectures closely follow their lecture objectives.

Powers' likewise, with emphasis on the yellow text in his Powerpoint.

Roberson's & Clary's centered on their in-class hints and sample questions from lecture.

Patterson's Conjunctivitis, Iritis, & Cellulitis lecture outlined fairly thoroughly — but his last couple lectures (Glaucoma, Cataracts, & Macular Disorders) are NOT included. Sorry.

Good luck.

Hey everyone,
So I put the path labs into chart form–not all of them are here (3 of the last 5 are missing at least) but I hope it helps anyway! You should be able to click through tabs for each lab (however, in the past these files have not attached properly so..we'll see) If you are printing them at school, before you print be sure that none of the text has been cut off by the bound of the chart–I had to fix a few when I downloaded it here. Also, to make printing easier, when you do print click on "no scaling" and select "custom scaling" (or some option like that) and I think I normally first try to print them at 2 pages wide by 1 page tall. This usually takes it from like 15 pages to 2. Happy studying!

VHD Dissector Help!

jaw5pj — Sun, 03 Apr 2011 15:40:37 +0000

So, I'm not sure how many people know about this but it should really help.

1.) On the main screen click on 'Cadaver Dissection Guide'

2.) Go down to 'Chapter 5: Head and Neck' and click 'Dissections'

3.) At the top in blue lettering it has different labs and if you go to the steps you can click on the red words and it will actually show you where important things are on VHD – so you don't have to just scan around and guess.

Hopefully this helps!

I tried to include everything from the relevant steps in Gold Standard – it may be a bit of overkill. Obviously you need to review the lectures and the VHD slices that are indicated for each lab (in the lecture). I tried to include them when the professor blatantly told us which ones to look at.

Good Luck!

Hey guys, so I put together a little survey stating that we would really like to NOT have the SP reviews during our finals week due to our already hectic schedule. We do need about 95% of the class to sign this! I need about 55 more signatures. I know not everyone comes to class, but if you are in the building it would be great for you to stop by and sign!

My fellow classmates-

If you are feeling you may need a morale booster for the upcoming week please sign up for the American Cancer Society's Relay for Life. This is a great cause that I know has probably affected you in one way or another. VCOM has a team and so far we have raised 60% of our goal and with more participation we will have no problem reaching it! The process is very simple just go to this website, http://main.acsevents.org/goto/VCOM, where you can either join the team (and then send out emails to friends and family through the website), make a donation, or purchase a lumanarie to honor or remember someone you may know who has been affected by cancer. The event is April 22nd , on VA Tech's campus, and I hope many of you will consider participating in this event that not only affects us all on a personal level, but now on a professional one as well.

I tried to condense all of the PPC Neuro materials (Doolan's Cranial Nerves, Neuro History, and Neuro Exam) into the pptx file. I didn't include all of the "what you are testing for" or "potential dysfunctions" in attempts to make ti concise, so you might want to look back over those parts. Hopefully it will be helpful for both the AM test and the PM neuro exam. Good Luck!

OK, So this is fairly decent for Lectures 1, 2, 6, 7, 9 (because these questions are from an old test and BLATANTLY follow what he said was going to be on the test minus one question), 10, 12 and maybe 13 (basically a short summary of what he said was going to be on the test).

The rest is really just relevant test question and may be completely off BUT if this helps one person out it is worth it…right

PLEASE don't be mad if this is completely off! I tried and I just got lazy!

This just in from Dr. Z:

"Yes. However I wont be asking you about DETAILed glaucoma.treatments ……in this block the glaucoma treatment drugs are only covered in a very general sense. Glaucoma treatment will be covered in detail in another block. Could you post this and on vcom-do?"

FYI – she was responding to this question:

"Hi Dr. Z. Would the following outline of how to treat Glaucoma be correct?
- For emergency/ acute angle glaucoma, give Pilocarpine
– Don't use reversible, indirect cholinergics to treat (so don't use the stigmines, endrophonium, or donepezil)
- For chronic glaucoma, you can use

Direct Muscarinic Agonists (Pilocarpine, Carbacol), and Beta Blockers (Timolol). Use Echothiophate or Isoflurophate for last resort if others don’t work."

So Outline is used loosely here – it sort of became a 'typing verbatim with reformatting' but it's better than nothing (hopefully!). But the first two are outlined and then I just got really lazy – sorry!

Happy studying!!!

Pharm Diagrams

markhaggerty — Mon, 21 Feb 2011 23:52:15 +0000

All,
I made these diagrams that help me to visualize all the drugs that are "drugs we need to know" or in the drug charts. If you need a visual to retain this stuff like me then hopefully this will help someone. They appear very daunting at first, so if you frighten easily then I suggest you resist the urge to freak out, stare at it for 2 minutes, and it will unfold before your eyes like a "magic eye" poster. Don’t expect them to be all encompassing, or without error, and be sure to let me know if you find a mistake!

This is the first 3 of 6, hopefully forthcoming will be adrenergic antagonists, and two sedatives diagrams but no promises!

Hey guys!!

admin — Sat, 19 Feb 2011 17:11:31 +0000

Hello people,

So, I went to the library to copy pages our of the Cecil’s Essentials of Medicine and there are no books. So if someone could please either bring one back or put the respective pages out of the chapters on vcomdo as like a pdf or something, I would really appreciate it! I’m sure there are many people who do not have this book, and since the reading is required/15 questions, we should probably all read that haha. Thanks.

The two tests with no answers come from 2012 so the answer keys can be found there, and the other comes from 2013. I thought this might be helpful because Dr. Olgun seems to focus on the same things as in prior years. I crossed off some of the questions that I felt were irrelevant to this exam.

Hey guys,

I made a table for cranial nerves.

There might be more/less info. I thought it would be a good starter.

I did check the content with Dr. Danielson.

Some book lists different fiber types than others but Dr. Anstrom said he won’t be picky about those.

He said to learn it the way your book tells you. (mine is a combo of Thieme/Dr. Cramer’s word document & Clincal Anatomy)

Let me know if there’s any mistakes. Thanks!

Good luck with studying & have a great weekend! :)

admin — Sun, 06 Feb 2011 06:15:32 +0000

Hey! These are a few pages from my notes from grad school. It’s a list of the signs and symptoms of UMN vs LMN lesions, an image of where the spinothalamic, gracile/cunate fasciculus, and corticospinal tracts cross and end, and the same thing for the extrapyramidal tracts. Some of it might go more in depth than we covered thus far, but I figured they could be used as a study aid or a guide. I’m a very visual learner, so that’s why there are so many colors, lol. Good Luck!!

Stenographing (Tran-scripting) Anstrom

admin — Thu, 03 Feb 2011 01:55:07 +0000

I am curious to see if anyone is willing to participating in taking Dr. Anstrom's lectures and writing down everything he says. From what I have heard, he will pull a test question from a simple sentence that he may say at any given spot in the lecture.

We have 5-6 Anatomy lectures a week the first few weeks… If we get on the ball now we can be set up for exams in the future. I was basically thinking of a 1 person per 1 lecture set up. Please email me acaldwell@vcom.vt.edu if you are interested!

Hey guys,

I got NRV/Wythe as my rotation site for 3^rd year rotations. I’m trying to figure out what to do about housing here in the NRV for next year. I thought I would check and see if anyone will have a place to rent next year, if anyone is looking for a room-mate, or if anyone will have a room available. I thought I would try and find a roommate to keep costs down for next year. If anyone has any information or is interested please send me an e-mail at mhrobinson@vcom.vt.edu or just catch me at the school. Thanks and I appreciate it.

Hello y’all,

I’m attaching some PDFs I have from my post-bac that are really helpful. The PDF titled “Intro Head Neck” has a chart with all the CNs and their associated components. (Also, some general rules for the components/modalities if you had trouble with Dr. Anstrom’s lecture yesterday: general=body, special=head, somatic=skin/muscles, visceral=everything else, efferent=motor, afferent=sensory, SSA=vision/hearing, SVA=smell/taste). The other file has some really nice schematic diagrams of the CNs which may prove useful in the future.

Good luck, Sumit

It’s kind of late in the game but here’s another muscle chart for what its worth. I included the muscles that were covered in lecture along with their innervations, action, origin, insertion, and arterial supply. The information is based off Dr. D’Amato’s lectures and the VHD program. I apologize for typos and/or if anything is incorrect. I’m not sure what is required/testable and what is irrelevant, but here it is.

I made a list of differentials for back pain for the SP. I mostly drew from Dr. Brolinson’s low back pain lecture but I also looked at other CCC and path lectures we’ve had. I know getting the dx correct won’t give us many points, but it may help focus your exam.

Good luck!

Attached is a copy of an anatomy study guide from the neck through the hand. It covers everything from lecture and lab that could possibly be tagged on the practical (I believe).

I would recommend printing it in color (at least the brachial plexus part), as I tried to color-coordinate nerves with their derivations.

The study guide does NOT contain lesions that would be observed for particular nerve damage, etc…

This is a little long but I hope people will find it helpful.

All the Best,

Haiti Earthquake Anniversary, Update and Commemoration

admin — Tue, 11 Jan 2011 18:55:14 +0000

Hi VCOM,

Jan. 12, 2011 marks the anniversary of Haiti’s earthquake. A few of us students have organized a small event to update ourselves on the state of Haiti and to reflect on the events following the disaster. We will be hearing from a VT professor who’s working on improving water sanitation for a public hospital in Haiti, and then we’ll share some poems in respect of the victims and their survivors. It’ll be a great time to reflect on our role as physicians in the world. Duration: 30-45 minutes.

Day: THURSDAY, Jan. 13 – the day after the anniversary
Time: 12:30 PM
Location: CME meeting room, 3rd floor
Find the offices on the 3rd floor and take a right as you enter. The room will be on your left.

Hi guys

I have a 2010 basically brand new First Aid book I had bought last year (maybe a few pages w/one to 2 words written..no highlighting or anything) that I bought for $35 and want to sale for around $20. It is a good reference/study source until you have to buy the 2012 next year for your boards. If you are interested please email me at cragland@vcom.vt.edu

Derm Equation

admin — Sun, 09 Jan 2011 23:32:13 +0000

Hey guys! In Dr. Rawlins’ burn lecture, he has the equation written as: Parkland Formula= 4mL/kg/% of TBSA in 24 hours,½ in 8 hours remainder in 16 hours. If any of you have tried using this equation, you probably noticed it doesn’t work correctly. I looked it up online and it should have been written: Fluid Requirements = TBSA burned(%) x Wt (kg) x 4mL
Give 1/2 of total requirements in 1st 8 hours, then give 2nd half over next 16 hours.
You can find it at: http://www.mdcalc.com/parkland-formula-for-burns
Hope that clears some confusion.

OMM Practical Checklists

admin — Fri, 07 Jan 2011 22:19:50 +0000

¡Hola!

Here is the checklist for this block (and last block since the practical is cumulative). I meshed Dr. Harden’s checklist into mine (the ones with the Kimberly numbers).
I did talk to Dr. Harden and:

1) Disregard 4641.11D (Talus Plantar Flexed) Muscle Energy on Dr. Harden’s Checklist. He said just go with what we learned in lab (Anterior Talus) where the patient plantar flexes during the Muscle Energy.

2) Disregard 4631.11B because 4631.11C is what we learned and does the same thing.

3) Some people have asked me about HVLA of the foot: 4653.11A and we do need to know it but its pretty much the same as the whip technique on the navicular and cuboid, but on the 1st metatarsal.

I will post the updated Practical Study Guide after our last OMM lab next week.
Hope this helps! If anything doesn’t look right, please let me know!

Thanks,
JB

SDL Chart-Try 2

admin — Thu, 06 Jan 2011 22:16:19 +0000

Hey everyone,
So I just realized that the chart I posted a few days ago didn't quite work- there are supposed to be tabs at the bottom of the document that you can click between for different charts. I'm going to try to post it again! Also, when printing, if you select "print preview" and then something like "page setup" I change it from 1 to 2 pages tall- this makes for less paper but smaller font.
Happy Studying!

School Supplies for Honduran Children Still Needed!

Pediatrics Club/Family Medicine/Operation Smile Outreach:

-We are still collecting school supplies for children in Honduras. These items will be delivered during VCOM’s trip over January block break. The Honduran doctors have requested the following types of items:

-paper, notebooks, pens, pencils, rulers, pencil boxes, erasers, crayons, colored pencils, markers.

They have requested that we not bring sharp / dangerous items such as scissors.

We will no longer have the tree with the tags available but please bring donated school supplies and place them in the box outside the classrooms. Every little bit counts and we have over a week left to get as many supplies collected as we can. They will most definitely go to good use in Honduras! If you have any questions, please contact Sarah at scolvin@vcom.vt.edu. Thanks, everyone!

OMM Practical Guide- Rough Draft

admin — Mon, 03 Jan 2011 00:11:50 +0000

Hey Everybody,

Happy New Year! I hope everyone had a great break! Since there are only a few weeks til the end of the block, here’s a rough draft of what we’ve so far for the OMM Practical. I plan on meeting with Dr. Harden soon to verify some stuff and a checklist i wrote up. So there may be some corrections to this and there will be additions because we still have a couple OMM Labs in the next couple weeks. Big thanks to Jacob Bright for working on the Thoracic and Foot/Ankle part of the guide!
So when I post the final Guide, I should have a checklist to go with it… but this is what I have for now since I figured some people want to start looking at some of it soon.
It also includes some of the stuff from last block because 1) you need to know Dx to treat and 2) all the OMM practicals are cumulative.
If something doesn’t look right or something, PLEASE let me know!
Hope this helps!

See you all tomorrow,
JB

2 – BR ground level Apartment at Chasewood Downs (just off University City Blvd and Tom’s Creek) $678/mo. Rent – Looking for someone to take over lease.
My fiance and I have lived here for almost 3 years and found a house to move into and need to transfer the remaining 6 months of this lease. We do not smoke and have kept the apartment very clean. It is a fairly new complex with fairly new appliances/sinks/counter tops etc . Pets are allowed. There is a pool, a fitness area, and a laundry facility just across the parking lot (about a 50 yard walk). Our apartment does come with a washer and dryer that is rented for $35/mo. which is included in the $680 monthly rent. You can opt out of that rental and use the facilities and save $35 if desired. If you take over this lease I will pay the January rent, so your first rent wouldn’t be due until Feb. 5, 2011. Very nice 2 bedroom apartment in a quiet building and convenient location. Please contact me and come take a look for yourself.

For those of you who were curious about the amount of detail that Dr. Prom packed into his lecture, I sent him a note asking how much of it might be FYI (crossed fingers for a Dr. Li moment). This was his response:

"I did go over that section quickly because it was covered in another lecture. However remember that everything in the slides and readings are testable. I can’t go into too much more because that would be unfair to other students. Good luck with the studying."

Not that it helps, but lets you know what he was thinking.

CCC Exam Review

admin — Sat, 18 Dec 2010 19:33:02 +0000

Hello!

Here is a complete guide for Tuesday's exam. I did my best to cut it down, but it is still a tad bit long. I tried to bold the important stuff from lecture in most of the lectures, but was unable to do that for all. I included all of Dr. Williams pictures because I have heard from second years that he loves to test pictures.

Anywho, I hope it helps! Have a great weekend!

admin — Thu, 16 Dec 2010 21:47:35 +0000

Hey all, There was some confusion about the diagnostic size of osteoid osteomas vs. osteoblastomas; two different sizes were given in the Bone Tumors SDL. Here is Santo's clarification:

This is a typo, it should read 2 cm. Less than 2 it is a osteoid osteoma, larger than 2 is osteoblastoma

Thanks,

Arben Santo

Happy studying! Good luck on the practical tomorrow,

Hey guys,

I posted this link at some point during block 1, but figured I would post it again. It’s from the Medical School at the University of Michigan, and includes tons of written and practical practice questions complete with images of tagged cadavers. I’ve always found it as a good way to review/study. Since we can’t get into the anatomy lab today, I would highly recommend taking a look at this website and bookmarking it for future reference! Just click on the link, and you can find questions on the lower extremity under "Musculoskeletal System."

Best of luck tomorrow!

Hello class of 2014,

SAMOPS, the military medicine club at VCOM, would like to invite you to participate in this year’s Toys for Tots drive. We have been participating in this fundraiser for many years together with Virginia Tech’s Corps of Cadets. This year there are two ways that you can participate:

1)You can donate toys to the Toys for Tots bin located in the 1st floor lobby of VCOM.

2) This year we have decided to add a fun twist to collect more toys. During lunch (12:30-1:00pm) from December 8th until December 15th SAMOPS members will be in the lobby asking for 5 dollar donations for raffle tickets. These raffle tickets will enter you into a competition to win a brand new 4th generation 32GB Ipod Touch, valued at 300 dollars! All money collected will go towards purchasing toys for Toys for Tots.

The last day to buy raffle tickets is Wednesday!!! If you want to buy tickets I will be in the lobby during lunch (12:30-1:00)!

Current chances of winning are about 1:40!!!!

Hey guys,

I hadn't really spent a lot of time with VHD, but I started playing around with it and found a pretty good resource. If you go to Lessons and then Muscle tables, you can click on lower extremity and go through each section. It outlines the muscles (actions, innervations, blood supply, origins and insertions) while also highlighting the muscles. I just found it so I thought I'd spread the news!

Hope this helps!

(another) muscle review spreadsheet for what its worth

I think this is all correct. If there was any discrepancy between the powerpoints and VHDissector, I went with the powerpoints. I don’t think we have to know the origin/insertion/action/innervations/arterial supply for the musculature of the plantar aspect of the feet, but it is included. Also, I’m not sure if we have to know the iliopsoas as one muscle or three (iliacus/psoas major/psoas minor) and the vastus group as one muscle or three (vastus medialis/intermedius/lateralis). Good luck.

Hey Everyone!

Less than 2 weeks and we’re on break… and on your trip wherever youre going or if you want to listen to it now, here’s a link (below) to an mp3. I got the file a D.O. that I shadowed last year– its about OMT in the hospital. Great speaker- the 45 minutes talk flew by while I was on my car ride home last block break. Big thanks to Chris Phelps for posting it in our podcast section!
While on the OMT topic, many have asked about OMM charts for the practical and I plan on having those done by then end of winter break so that everyone will have it a few weeks before the practical and I’ll add the last two OMM Labs as we finish them.

The Student Advocate Association (SAA) is participating in the Appalachian Medical Missions Trip fundraising (one of the causes voted on by the student body) for this holiday season and we need your help! We are collecting toiletry items to help Pulaski Daily Bread, where VCOM held the ECE last Friday, Dec 3rd. Pulaski Daily Bread is a soup kitchen that operates Monday through Friday from 11-12:30 to serve food to the local people in need. They are having a holiday party on Dec 22nd where they will give each person a present, and is in need for toiletry items (shampoo, lotion, toothpaste, razors, soap, etc) to complete their gifts.

Please consider dropping in items in those boxes already provided for the Appalachian Mission Trip to Galax to take place on Dec 17. The recipients in Galax need hats, scarves, gloves, socks for all ages so we will separate those items the recipients in Galax and the toiletry items you donate will go to those in Pulaski. There is one box in each classroom and one in the hallway on first hall labeled “Appalachian Medical Missions”. Any donation is greatly appreciated. We will collect these items up to the morning of Dec 16th to deliver to Pulaski Daily Bread.

7th Annual Krispy Kreme Challenge

Paige Kimbrell — Tue, 07 Dec 2010 23:11:43 +0000

I know there are a lot of runners in our class, so I wanted to tell you about a tradition at NC State that raises money for the NC Children’s Hospital. The race is called the Krispy Kreme Challenge, and this year it will be held on Sat. Feb 5, 2011. Runners run 2 miles to the Raleigh Krispy Kreme store, and if the runner is a challenger, they have to eat a dozen donuts and run back. Runners can also opt to be casual. Casual runners can eat however many donuts they want or none at all, but they can’t win over all! You can wear any clothing of your choosing….proper running attire, gorilla suit, speedo…you name it; the costumes get quite hilarious! Registration costs $20 (includes t-shirt, cost of donuts, and fundraising). Participants come from all over the country, and ESPN covers the race! Sports Illustrated even rated this tradition #85 in their List of 102 Things You Gotta Do Before You Graduate! Last year the race was capped at 6,000 runners (so register soon!), and we raised over $40,000! More info at https://krispykremechallenge.worldsecuresystems.com/2011_registration

CCC Study Guide

admin — Thu, 02 Dec 2010 16:11:58 +0000

Hey,

This is a study guide for tomorrow's test. I re-listened to all of the lectures so the notes posted are what was stressed from lecture and in certain cases what was highlighted in the powerpoint. It covers every lecture except Dr. Brolinson's Lower Back Pain lecture.

This is very condensed (19 pages) so use this as a secondary study guide (aka, review all of the lectures first) but I think it should contain all pertinent testing information. Hope it helps!

Hey Guys,

I haven’t had time to make a complete outline for CCC, but here is a partial one, for what it’s worth. It doesn’t include Dr. Lo’s lectures and I only got up to slide 38 on Dr. Powers’ lecture. For Dr. Power’s lecture, I just included the bullet points he put in red. Hope it helps.

How to do Dr. Miller’s survey online

admin — Wed, 01 Dec 2010 21:59:10 +0000

Hey guys,

If you can’t do Dr. Miller’s survey online there is a very simple solution:

The adobe system the survey operates through can’t be opened in a 64-bit web browser (it only runs in 32-bit browsers).

Adobes website has a simple solution for this, with step-by-step instructions.

The instructions can be found at this link:

http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/000/6b3af6c9.html

I followed the instructions for internet explorer (opening the 32-bit browser…etc) and was able to open, complete, and submit the survey without issue.

Just thought I would pass this along to everyone.

Good luck studying for CCC,

Anatomy Practical Things To Know

I wrote down all of the words that were highlighted in Lab 1 and Lab 13 and put them together with Origin/Insertion/Innervation/Arterial Supply/Action/Location/Landmarks for finding it. This is most likely NOT comprehensive – I don't know what they will be taking out of lecture (like the plain-films on the first anatomy practical) and some of the terms I couldn't find a lot for

PLEASE EMAIL ME IF YOU FIND ANY MISTAKES (or if you can think of anything helpful to add to it!!!) jwaggy@vcom.vt.edu

Dear Class of 2014,

This is just a reminder for all those interested in becoming a part of the Academic Preparation Resources Committee (APRC) that we will be meeting on Tuesday, November 23rd immediately following your 11am class in Classroom 1.

"APRC" stands for "Academic Preparation Resources Committee" and was founded back in 2011 to create a group whose sole purpose is to make study resources for their classmates. Students that regularly create outlines for lectures, study guides or charts for their classmates and would like to receive subsequent credit are encouraged to join. Additionally, students who submit on a regular basis to the committee receive Dean’s Credit for their letter. There are no dues or anything special required to join this committee, just a willingness and desire to share your studying resources with your classmates.

Thanks, and I look forward to meeting with you!

Sincerely,
Mei L. Ellis

White Coat Wednesday Follow-Up

admin — Fri, 19 Nov 2010 20:29:08 +0000

Thanks to the thousands of doctors, residents, interns, and students all across the country who participated in White Coat Wednesday, a temporary fix has been put into place to avoid the 23% cut in Medicare/Tri-care’s physician reimbursement. I would really like to thank all the VCOMers who jumped into action and called their senators and representatives! Below is a link to an article from The Hill (a newspaper on Capitol Hill). This fix is nowhere near the permanent fix that is necessary, so I urge you all to continue to remain active and current in the political arena. This affects us as much, if not more, than current physicians. Thanks again!

White Coat Wednesday

admin — Wed, 17 Nov 2010 13:51:58 +0000

Get Ready to Take Action on White Coat Wednesday

On November 17 call Congress and tell them to protect access to care for your Medicare and Tricare patients!

As you know, a 23% cut in Medicare physician payments will take effect on December 1. This cut is followed by an additional cut on January 1, 2011.

The American Osteopathic Association (AOA) has joined forces with the American Medical Association (AMA) and other physician organizations for White Coat Wednesday. On November 17, we encourage you to call your Members of Congress and urge them to take immediate action to protect access to health care for our nation’s seniors, disabled, and military families.

On Wednesday, November 17, use the AOA’s toll-free legislative hotline – (877) AOA-9400 – and ask your Member of Congress to enact the most meaningful and long-term reforms attainable. Tell them:

* Access to care for millions of patients, especially our nation’s seniors and military families, is threatened as a result of this flawed Medicare policy
* Health care coverage does not equal access to care, Congress must ensure that patients have access to physician services
* Any solution must be meaningful, provide stability and predictability, and must protect the integrity of the Medicare program
* Physicians are the foundation of the health care delivery system
* Failure to do so jeopardizes access to health care for patients in your community and state
?

Calling Instructions:

1. Dial 877-262-9400 from any touch-tone phone.
2. You will be connected to your Senators and Representative through a series of three calls, for your senior Senator you will be prompted to enter a 1 on your phone’s keypad; for your junior Senator enter a 2; for your Representative enter a 3.
3. Next you will be prompted for your zip code.
4. When the office answers, identify yourself as a physician and the town and state you are from to demonstrate you are a constituent.
5. Deliver the talking points above and any personal anecdotes to illustrate how these continued cuts will impact your patients and your practice.
6. Hang up and make your next call.

After you make your call to your Members of Congress, urge your colleagues to do their part and make a call. Take a few minutes to make an investment in your future.

Dear Class

"I would thank you from the bottom of my heart, but for you my heart has no bottom." ~ Author Unknown

I would first like to state that I am honored to be part of a class whose members are so altruistic and engaging in respect to the future of their medical education. For the sake of Pharmacokinetics, I will skip the speech on how openly and cohesively each and every one of us has worked together since the first day to achieve success as a whole. Most importantly, thank you for voting!

To the runner-up candidates: I am envious of you for taking the initiative and stepping forward as leaders. I hope that the election results do not discourage any of you in any way. I hope that you continue to be an active part of our class. Remember that the greatest leaders in history (besides having big bellies) made their greatest contributions to the advancement of humanity while not holding a position. My point is, you do not have to be an elected “leader” to lead or to have a great impact.

To my fellow victors, I am ecstatic for the next few years. I am certain that we will be successful as individuals and as a group. However, we must always remember that we are serving each student individually and the class as a whole. Congratulations to all of you and I look forward to working with you. Many thanks to the elections committee and the administration for making this possible.

Thanks again – and now, back to succinylcholine

Genuinely,

Reza Karimianpour

Hello Everyone,

I made some diagrams that were useful for me when learning how nerves come out of the spinal cord and mix to form spinal nerves and their respective rami. 2 diagrams are attached. The first gives a “bigger picture” view in reference to a vertebral segment. The second is a more zoomed in version. If you’re still having trouble visualizing the fibers, let me know and I can explain it to you.

APRC!

Mei Lawing — Thu, 11 Nov 2010 15:06:18 +0000

Dear Class of 2014,

I am the APRC Chair for the Class of 2013. "APRC" stands for "Academic Preparation Resources Committee" and was founded back in 2011 to create a group whose sole purpose is to make study resources for their classmates. Students that regularly create outlines for lectures, study guides or charts for their classmates and would like to receive subsequent credit are encouraged to join. Additionally, students who submit on a regular basis to the committee receive Dean’s Credit for their letter.

To that end, my goal is to help the Class of 2014 create their own committee. I would like to ask that all students interested in the committee, whether it be as a submitter or as the chair, meet with me on Thursday, November 18 immediately following your 11:00 class in Classroom 1. There are no dues or anything special required to join this committee, just a willingness and desire to share your studying resources with your classmates.

Thanks, and I look forward to meeting with you!

Sincerely,
Mei L. Ellis

just wanted to reemphasize a website on a VCOMDO post on September 18th about online resources. the microbiology & immunology online resource is written by faculty from SC University SOM. it includes video lectures that are bookmarked by powerpoint slide titles and are available for iTunes download. i know we’ll see topics presented in micro & immuno in later blocks and this website looks great for quick reference/board review if you don’t care to search through slides and notes from our classes. Just bookmark on your internet browser for later use.

OMM

hey guys!

I ran across this stuff on google. it's from VCOM from past years, so it might be helpful. The attachment is the outline all the other classes were sent before the first OMM practical. The link below is a comprehensive review of all of OMM, which should definitely be useful now and for the next 2 years. Enjoy!

SP Prep

admin — Thu, 21 Oct 2010 20:42:26 +0000

Hey all,

In preparation for the SPs next week, I ran across a website that might be useful. It looks like a resource to help prepare Standardized Patients for encounters with students more than anything, but includes prompts that they might think about using and questions that students could potentially ask them. By looking through some of these you might be able to get some good ideas of things to ask SPs in particular scenarios, or, if you’re wanting to practice with a group, the scenarios are already put together for you.

If you go to the link below, scroll down to the section titled Table of Contents, and there are several detailed ethical scenarios listed in different categories such as Decisions to Forgo Treatment, Confidentiality, Truth Telling, and Women’s Health. I hope that going through these, either by yourself or with a group, will be helpful. If there are any problems with the link just let me know!
