I am not engaged in therapeutics, but in pathology.\u201d \u2014H.L. Mencken The fundamental principles of pathology are key to understanding diseases in all organ systems. Major topics such as inflammation and neoplasia appear frequently in questions across different organ systems, and such topics are definitely high yield. For example, the concepts of cell injury and inflammation are key to understanding the inflammatory response that follows myocardial infarction, a very common subject of board questions. Similarly, a familiarity with the early cellular changes that culminate in the development of neoplasias\u2014for example, esophageal or colon cancer\u2014is critical. Make sure you recognize the major tumor-associated genes and are comfortable with key cancer concepts such as tumor staging and metastasis. Finally, take some time to learn about the major systemic changes that come with aging, and how these physiologic alterations differ from disease states. 201 uploaded by medbooksvn","202 SEC TION II Pathology\u2003 \uf07d\u2009PATHOLOGY\u2014Cellular Injury `\u2009PATHOLOGY\u2014CELLULAR INJURY Cellular adaptations Reversible changes that can be physiologic (eg, uterine enlargement during pregnancy) or pathologic Hypertrophy (eg, myocardial hypertrophy 2\u00b0 to systemic HTN).

One major recent change is that the USMLE Step 1 has moved away from testing pharmacotherapeutics. That means you will generally not be required to identify medications indicated for a specific condition. You still need to know mechanisms and important adverse effects of key drugs and their major variants. Obscure derivatives are low- yield. Learn their classic and distinguishing toxicities as well as major drug-drug interactions. Reviewing associated biochemistry, physiology, and microbiology concepts can be useful while studying pharmacology. The exam has a strong emphasis on ANS, CNS, antimicrobial, and cardiovascular agents as well as on NSAIDs, which are covered throughout the text. Specific drug dosages or trade names are generally not testable. The exam may use graphs to test various pharmacology content, so make sure you are comfortable interpreting them. 227 uploaded by medbooksvn","228 SEC TION II Pharmacology\u2003 \uf07d\u2009PHARMACOLOGY\u2014PHARMACOKINETICS and Pharmacodynamics `\u2009PHARMACOLOGY\u2014PHARMACOKINETICS AND PHARMACODYNAMICS Enzyme kinetics Km is inversely related to the affinity of the [S] = concentration oNf osnuCcboomsmtppreeattititteiivv;eeViinnhh=iibbiitvtooerrl(roecveitrsyib. le) Michaelis-Menten enzyme for its substrate. kinetics 1 Vmax is directly proportional to the enzyme V USantiunrhaitbioitned Lineweaver-Burk plot concentration.
