    Study Notes

    Medical Terminology and Treatments

    • First-line treatment for Myoclonic seizures: Valproate
    • Parkinsonian syndrome diagnosis: Bradykinesia plus one or more of classic rest tremor, muscular rigidity, or postural instability.
    • Hospital Orders: Physician's Order Sheet is used for inpatient orders.
    • Social/Economic Database Information: Includes daily activities, ethnic background, and living arrangements, but excludes sexual history.
    • Health Definition: Health is a state of complete physical, mental, and social well-being, not merely the absence of disease.

    Mental State Testing

    • "Spell WORLD backwards" test: Assessment for language.

    Hospital Departments

    • Volunteer service: Part of the Medical Social Service department.

    Database Information

    • Demographic Database: Contains patient identification number, physician information, and occupation, as well as ethnic background.

    Pharmaceutical Agents

    • Indirect Questioning Methods: This is not a question about particular drugs.
    • Anxiolytics: Diazepam, Lorazepam, Oxazepam, Alprazolam, and Clonazepam are examples.

    Molecular Biology

    • DNA Replication: Semiconservative replication, where each new DNA molecule contains one original strand and one new strand. 
    • Topoisomerase II Target: Etoposide.
    • DNA Replication Strand Types: The lagging strand is synthesized discontinuously in short fragments. 
    • rRNA Size Particles (Prokaryotes): 23S, 5S, 16S rRNA size molecules are found in prokaryotes. 40S is not found in prokaryotes.
    • Absent RNA Base: Thymine is not present in RNA; uracil takes its place.
    • Ribonucleotide Components: Contains ribose, nitrogenous base, and phosphate.
    • Point Mutation Example: The transition from UCA to UCU could result in a silent mutation (no change in amino acid).
    • Cystic Fibrosis Cause: Deletion of three nucleotides in the coding region of a gene, leading to the loss of phenylalanine at position 508.
    • Wobble Hypothesis: The first base of the anticodon is not rigidly defined and can form nonstandard base pairs with the third base of the codon. This allows a single tRNA to recognise multiple codons.

    Pharmacology

    • Antimicrobials and Mechanisms: Erythromycin binds to 50S ribosomal subunits.

    Organic Chemistry

    • Cocaine Alkaloid Moiety: The basic unit is cinnamylcocaine.
    • C-10 Compound: Farnesyl pyrophosphate is a C-10 compound, precursor to terpenes.
    • Manila Copal Source: Agathis alba is likely source of Manila copal.
    • Diuretics: Bearberry is a diuretic that promotes dilation.
    • Movicol® Gum: Acacia gum is combined with frangula.
    • Anthraquinone Glycosides: Aglycones are related to anthracene structure and are generally used as cathartics. Activity is often enhanced by the aglycone without the glycone.

    Food Science

    • Oil Conversion: Hydrogenation converts liquid oils to semisolid fats.
    • Benne Oil Constituents: Sesamol is an effective synergist in pyrethrum insecticides.
    • Soybean Products (Flour): Soybean meal is likely not used for detecting urea.

    Natural Products

    • Cyanogenic Glycosides: Arbutin is not a cyanogenic glycoside; others listed are.
    • Anthrone Isomer: Oxanthrone is an isomer of anthrone.
    • Saponin Types: Acid saponins are a type of saponin with a pentacyclic triterpenoidal aglycone common in dicots.
    • Licorice Glycoside Type: Dried unpeeled or peeled licorice root and stolons are saponins.
    • Glyceryl Triacetate: Releases acetic acid in a non-irritating concentration.

    General

    • Genetic Modification (GMOs): Bioreactors commonly use GMOs for producing goods encoded by exogenous genes.
    • Crude Drug Study: Pharmacognosy studies the classification, identification, cultivation, and protection of herbal drugs and their compounds. Molecular Pharmacognosy takes this further by studying the relationships of compounds and their effectiveness at a compound level.
    • Crude Drug Variability: Crude drug composition are influenced by growing stage, harvest time, locality, and storage conditions.
    • T-DNA Transfer: Agrobacterium is involved in transferring T-DNA.
