So if we have a 2 yo boy who has fever, vomiting,a nd sleepiness. Canā€™t wake up for sht once he went to sleep. Has rhinorrhea and fever for like three days. Also this kid has had multiple illnesses and an INCREASED BLOOD AMMONIA LEVEL and increased OROTIC ACID excretion in the urine. What are we thinking huh? Whatā€™s going on with this unresive lil boy?

WElllllll

obviously

heā€™s deficient in ornithine transcarbamylase

cause that ammonia level being high is like a big clue

see see you neeed that enzyme to move bicarb and ammonia into citrulline and if that doesnā€™t happen, then ammonia is high and thatā€™s super bad for you.

plus this is the most common urea cycle disorder

so like this kid having too much ammonia, which is neurotoxic, is causing his vomiting and coma and and tachypnea

Okay next question

You gots a patient who just moved here and who has likeā€¦ lots of brusies and itā€™s sketchy af (you fr htink theyā€™re being abuse)

but they tell you ā€œItā€™s nothin, iā€™m clumsy das itā€

and youā€™re like mmhmmm no

how would you approach it

WELLLL

so you canā€™t make them defensive so you have to be careful

so the best way to go about it is saying something like

ā€œMoving to a new city can be stressful. How are things going at home?ā€

because you want to be a lil indirect; because patients with intimate partner violence may be reluctant to speak

Residual hip pain. My damn dorm only has showers, which scares me due to having rocky balance on a good dayā€¦I think Iā€™m having ptsd from all the school shootings that have happened, because I mistook a door unlocking for a gun cocking, and have been crying on an off for the whole week. Can you even have ptsd from something you havenā€™t seen? Sorry for unloading that.

Alright alright

now weā€™re gonna talk about statisical testing

so so so

if youā€™re trying to compare something like ā€œlevels of creatinine kinaseā€ between groups diided into 4 different therapies - what do you see? You see one QUANTITATIVE (Numbers matter) group and one QUALITATIVE group.

So what kind of test do you use?

Analysis of variance duh

see

Now if this was two CATEGORIAL groups -weā€™d use a chi square test

if this was to QUANTITATIVE things - weā€™d use a correlation coefficient

T tests are a lil different - those are comparing the mean of a quantitative variable between two groups. (So quantitiative and qualitative again). But a paired t test are when the groups are dependent (before and after type deal); and an independent t test is when the group is INDEPENDENT (mean of a main variable)

yes so yeah

thatā€™s statistical tests

I donā€™t know if it would be considered ā€œPTSDā€ or more ā€œacute stress disorderā€ or one of those

PTSD has to be something expierenced or witnessed

so perhaps it could techincally

either way - you should talk to a therapist :pleading_face:

That makes more sense. Do you remember the MSU shooting? A lot of my family went there, so I kinda lost it.

I think I heard about that one :pleading_face: Iā€™m so sorry youā€™ve had to experience that

I canā€™t imagine being in your shoes and youā€™re so strong for being able to deal with it - no matter how youā€™re dealing with it

Iā€™m going to try and find a therapist on campus. Iā€™m seriously just considering permanently dropping out, with the car accident and now all these college shootings. I feel like Iā€™m being dramatic.
