  • USMLE – What's It
    Purpose of this handout Congratulations on making it to Year 2 of medical school! You are that much closer to having your Doctor of Medicine degree. If you want to PRACTICE medicine, however, you have to be licensed, and in order to be licensed you must first pass all four United States Medical Licensing Exams. This book is intended as a starting point in your preparation for getting past the first hurdle, Step 1. It contains study tips, suggestions, resources, and advice. Please remember, however, that no single approach to studying is right for everyone. USMLE – What is it for? In order to become a licensed physician in the United States, individuals must pass a series of examinations conducted by the National Board of Medical Examiners (NBME). These examinations are the United States Medical Licensing Examinations, or USMLE. Currently there are four separate exams which must be passed in order to be eligible for medical licensure: Step 1, usually taken after the completion of the second year of medical school; Step 2 Clinical Knowledge (CK), this is usually taken by December 31st of Year 4 Step 2 Clinical Skills (CS), this is usually be taken by December 31st of Year 4 Step 3, typically taken during the first (intern) year of post graduate training. Requirements other than passing all of the above mentioned steps for licensure in each state are set by each state’s medical licensing board. For example, each state board determines the maximum number of times that a person may take each Step exam and still remain eligible for licensure.

  • Cytomegalovirus Infection of the Human Gastrointestinal Tract
    Journal of Gastroenterology and Hepatology (1999) 14, 973–976 OESOPHAGOGASTRODUODENAL DISORDERS Cytomegalovirus infection of the human gastrointestinal tract SUSAMA PATRA, SUBASH C SAMAL, ASHOK CHACKO, VADAKENADAYIL I MATHAN1 AND MINNIE M MATHAN1 The Wellcome Trust Research Laboratory, Department of Gastrointestinal Sciences, Christian Medical College and Hospital,Vellore,India Abstract Background: Current interest in cytomegalovirus (CMV) is largely due to an increase in the number of cases of acquired immunodeficiency syndrome and organ transplantation in recent years.The proper recognition of CMV-infected cells in gastrointestinal mucosal biopsies is critical for effective treatment of this condition. Methods: A total of 6580 endoscopic mucosal biopsies from 6323 patients in the 8-year period (1989–1996) were examined for CMV inclusion bodies. The endoscopic appearance and particularly the presence of ulcers were also analysed. Results and Conclusions: The prevalence of cytomegalovirus (CMV) inclusions was 9 per thousand in the gastrointestinal mucosal biopsies from an unselected group of patients. Of the 54 patients with CMV infection, 37 were immunocompromised and 17 apparently immunocompetent. Typical Cowdry inclusions and atypical inclusions were present, the latter more frequently in immunocompromised patients. The maximum prevalence of inclusions was in the oesophageal mucosa in immunocompro- mised individuals. © 1999 Blackwell Science Asia Pty Ltd Key words: cytomegalovirus, gastrointestinal tract, immunocompetent, immunocompromised, inclu- sion bodies, mucosal biopsies. INTRODUCTION in haematoxylin and eosin (HE)-stained histological samples is regarded as being sensitive and specific for Cytomegalovirus (CMV), first described in 1956,1 is a CMV infection,6–9 especially for samples from the gas- double-stranded DNA virus belonging to the herpes trointestinal tract.

  • Maternal Mortality and HIV: an Overview
    Maternal Mortality and HIV: An Overview Contextual factors such as local policies and cultural norms, as well as socioeconomic factors, play a role in women’s ability to access care and receive appropriate treatment during pregnancy, childbirth, and postpartum.1 This is true for all women, and particularly so for the 17 million women living with HIV globally, the vast majority of whom live in sub-Saharan Africa (SSA) and are of reproductive age.2 In 2013, HIV was responsible for 1.5% of all maternal Adult HIV prevalence rates, 2012 data from Global Report: UNAIDS Report on the Global AIDS Epidemic 2013. deaths in SSA and 0.4% worldwide.3 Pregnant women living with HIV have between a two to 10 times increased risk of death than uninfected pregnant women.4,5,6,7,8 While maternal deaths have decreased overall in the past decade, countries with high HIV burdens have had slower declines compared to countries less affected by the HIV pandemic. For example, South Africa—an upper middle-income country with an HIV infection rate among pregnant women aged 15-49 years of 29.5%9—experienced a decrease of only 0.4% in its maternal mortality ratio (MMR) between 1990 and Data on maternal mortality ratio (per 100,000 live births) from World 2013, despite a global MMR decrease of 45% in the Health Organization 2012. same timeframe10.

  • Introduction to the Maternal and Newborn Quality of Care Surveys
    INTRODUCTION TO THE MATERNAL AND NEWBORN QUALITY OF CARE SURVEYS Introduction To The Quality of Care Surveys i The Maternal and Child Health Integrated Program (MCHIP) is the United States Agency for International Development’s Bureau for Global Health flagship maternal, neonatal and child health program. MCHIP supports programming in maternal, newborn and child health, immunization, family planning, malaria and HIV/AIDS, and strongly encourages opportunities for integration. Cross-cutting technical areas include water, sanitation, hygiene, urban health and health systems strengthening. This study was made possible by the generous support of the American people through the United States Agency for International Development (USAID), under the terms of the Leader with Associates Cooperative Agreement GHS-A-00-08-00002-00. The contents are the responsibility of the Maternal and Child Health Integrated Program (MCHIP) and do not necessarily reflect the views of USAID or the United States Government. Published by: Jhpiego Brown’s Wharf 1615 Thames Street Baltimore, Maryland 21231-3492, USA January 2013 Introduction To The Quality of Care Surveys ii 1. BACKGROUND Improving the quality of obstetric care in facilities has recently been identified as a neglected and essential approach to reducing maternal deaths and enabling developing countries to achieve Millennium Development Goal (MDG) 4 and 5.1 Postpartum hemorrhage is the most frequent cause of maternal deaths globally and in developing countries, accounting for 25% of maternal deaths. Next are hypertensive disorders in pregnancy (PE/E) at 15%, sepsis (8%) and obstructed labor (7%).2 Effective interventions exist for screening, preventing and treating obstetric and newborn complications, and they can be readily provided by skilled providers in facilities.
