are you sure 4 is E???
9 should be F..normal physiological..
11..C...gain of function
27..reassortment of hemaglutining

30 B..I think Indinavir too.not sure
32 E urolithiasis( 100% sure)

33 A budding..for sure

34 ..are u sure????? is it DDD..i think A is correct

40 is CCC

43 Is CC formation of disulfide

[ArchivalUser]

usmle_guy - yeah. let's just stick to our study plan. There is no time to panic. Not now ^^ You will do great. Your NBME scores are quite solid if you ask me. I'm predicting a +10 of your NBME score on the real exam ^^

[ArchivalUser]

Thank you doc_study for you contribution ^^ GBU ^^ Do you have answers for section 3?

[ArchivalUser]

i dont have the answers, post the questions i will try to answer.

Hey #39 is wrong. I also put C and it came out as wrong. Ill post the question on here:

In a patient with chronic peripheral neuropathy, enzyme histochemical staining of a muscle biopsy shows fiber grouping. Which of the following is most likely cause of this finding?

a) altered expression of muscle enzyme due to damaged nerve fibers
b) altered trophic substance from the innervating neurons
c) regeneration of muscle fibers (WRONG ANSWER)
d) reinnervation of muscle fibers by regenerating axons
e) selective loss of nerve fibers to type II muscle fibers

Also can somebody please explain #10 for me? Its the one with the 2 abdominal x-rays and according to the orginal poster its C. I have no clue what that is. Thank you!
