Here’s a prioritized list to help with revision of must do 12 subjects that can be revised in last few days before the exam. Anatomy Head and Neck: Cranial nerves (especially VII, IX, X), triangles of the neck, pharyngeal arches,Read More
The INICET tends to blend image-based questions with clinical vignettes, emphasizing practical application over rote learning. Clinical reasoning, such as interpreting lab values or recognizing syndromes from case scenarios, is prioritized. Also, several questions in the last few papers have integrated basic sciences like pathology and microbiology into clinical contexts, so revisiting integrated concepts may giveRead More
Gastrointestinal Stromal Tumors (GIST) Diagnosis, Treatment, and Mnemonics for Clinicians Gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GIST) are the most common mesenchymal tumors of the gastrointestinal (GI) tract, originating from the interstitial cells of Cajal, which regulate peristalsis. While GISTs can occur anywhere along the GI tract, the stomach (60%) and small intestine (30%) are the most frequent sites.Read More
Not a single drop of blood can ever leak from our ventricle to atria in entire life time. During the phase of systole, left ventricle will generate force to send blood into aorta. This will also put substantial stress on mitral valve leaflets but the bicuspid mitral valve leaflets are able to hold their position allRead More
Fibrinolytic agents should be given with 30 minutes of arrival to non-PCI capable hospital where transport to PCI capable hospital is not possible or has delay beyond 120 minutes Current recommended regimen is tPA 15 mg bolus followed by 50 mg Intravenously over 30 minutes and 35 mg over the next 30 minutes. In contrast tenecteplaseRead More
#NEETPG #INICET #FMGE 2 min read You have a patient on central Line in ICU who deteriorates suddenly with crashing of BP due to large of amount of air entering right side of the heart. The large air bubbles will crowd and occlude the flow of blood into pulmonary artery. This leads to crashing of BP.Read More
Tricuspid stenosis Key pick up points – Large a waves in JVP – Blunted Y descent in JVP – Mid-diastolic murmur – Pulsations in liver Tricuspid stenosis can coexist with mitral stenosis and usually manifests after the Percutaneous mitral valvotomy has been done. Patient will develop features of right sided heart failure. Symptoms Ankle edema AbdominalRead More
