Hello, For question 11, why did we use the “dose equivalence and conversion” section rather than “medicinal forms”? I don’t think I properly understood the question when reading it 😓

For Clozapine, it actually lists hyperprolactinaemia as very common. Does that change the answer to D?

Hey Bryceleatherman, Thank you for your comment. Some of the information you will pick up on whilst on the wards as medical students. The information in regards to HbA1c monitoring you can find in the "Diabetes Treatment Summary", Lipodystrophy information you can find out in the "Insulin Treatment Summary". Thank you for taking the time to watch the videos. Please get in touch if you need any further help. KR, MTB

@MindtheBleep I'm sorry I don't understand question 11; From what I understand, the question is asking for the equivalent dose of 20mg oral Citalopram in drops. So, to answer this, went to the drug's medicinal form for oral drops, where I found "Citalopram 40mg/ml drops". So, I did 20mg oral citalopram / 40mg citalopram drops, giving me 0.5mg. I don't know what this method gave the wrong answer?
@MindtheBleep13 күн бұрын
Dear Giftaigbe5648, Thank you for your query and engagement in the PSA series. If you scroll down on the drug monograph for citalopram in the indications, you will see a dose equivalence "4 oral drops (8mg) is equivalent in therapeutic effect to 10mg tablet". 8mg in the drops = 10mg in the tablets, therefore you would need to prescribe 16mg in the drops to be equivalent to 20mg tablet. 8mg = 4 oral drops, therefore 8 oral drops would be needed to make 16mg of the oral drops (equivalent to 20mg tablet). I hope this provides some clarification. Please do get back to us if you have any further questions, KR, Sona, MTB

Hi, I'm confused with Question 8. From my understanding, he takes 7mg and 5mg warfarin on alternative days. So, I thought to find how many 1mg of warfarin in totals he will need to take for 14 days, I did (7mg X7) + (5mg X 7) = 84mg; Then I did 84mg / 1mg = 84mg. Now, I'm confused with the answer. What happens to the 7mg he supposedly takes on alternative days in the calculation answer?
@MindtheBleep13 күн бұрын
Dear Giftaigbe5648, Thank you for your query and engagement in the PSA series. You are correct in that he takes 7mg and 5mg on alternate days, however the tablets come in other strengths as well as 1mg. Therefore, to reduce the tablet burden you would give 1x5mg tablet and 2x1mg for example for the 7mg dose (this way the patient only takes 3 tablets rather than 7x1mg tablets to make up the 7mg dose). I hope this provides some clarification, please do get back to us if you have any further questions. Good luck in your exams! Sona, MTB

From a patient that has been left with an untreated displaced main body Hamate fracture, with the little finger (5th metacarpal) remaining within the displaced hamate fracture and the ring finger (4th metacarpal) dislocated a reported greater than 75% above the fractured Hamate. This is good information, especially regarding around 53:00 when a similar injury, to the one I sustained in my cycling accident is discussed, they can be subtle, but the patient having a chronic dislocation at the CMC. Please be very diligent when examining patients and listen to what the patients say. The Orthopaedic Doctor (with over 40 years experience, more recently being promoted to a consultant) who treated me at the William Harvey Hospital in the UK, over 2 consultations, was adamant that I had not broken any bones in my hand and repeatedly said my hand injury was an old injury, even when I was saying it was not an old injury, discharging me from hospital with no treatment or follow on appointments, being told all I had to do was start exercising hand and fingers. I have now found out his speciality, was in hips, he then lied in a retrospective report on my mistreatment, to the then CEO of this hospital trust. When my hand injury was eventually established at 4 weeks, the hand surgeon I was referred to said it was now too late to have the bones repositioned, as I had at this time, regained full movement of my fingers. I have been unhappily living with this untreated injury for the last 3 1/2 years, this untreated injury causing me constant pain and lack of function in my dominant hand. If my feeding back on my experience, prevents someone else from having to live with this untreated injury, with the bones still dislocated at the CMC and protruding up from the back of my dominant hand, then at least some good will have come from my situation. Please do not be arrogant and over confident, consider other less common possibilities. Please do not dismiss what a patient is saying. Please do not lie and cover up mistakes, as this prevents effective leaning. Please do not cover up for other Doctors mistakes, as this perpetuates a culture of covering up and lying, preventing effective leaning. If you do not believe lying and covering up is culturally engrained at some Hospital Trusts in the UK, please read the independent report into EKHT, titled “Reading the Signals” 2022 by Bill Kirkup, where it documents a systemic culture of denial, deflection and concealment. To highlight the systemic engrained cover up culture at this hospital trust, after nearly 3 1/2 years of this trust investigating the mistreatment, the Trust have still not provided the details on the junior Doctor who wrote my discharge notification, detailing my injury as being an old injury and requiring no treatment or follow on appointments. I am happy to supply my multiple sets of X-rays where the injury was miss diagnosed by an Orthopaedic Consultant with over 40 years experience and the subsequent CT scans and MRI of my injury, to assist the training of new and Doctors with over 40 years experience. God bless all proficient and honest Doctors❤

Question 9 is written poorly in my opinion. Although 33 weeks is not close to term, it is a much better option to go for Nitro rather than Trimethoprim which is mainly contraindicated during the first trimester.
@sonapetrosyan4588Ай бұрын
Hey there, Thank you for your feedback. You may find the “additional information” comment in the comments section helpful. Perhaps a value <30 weeks would have been better in the question however nitrofurantoin would still be a safe answer. Good luck in your exams :) KR, MTB

Hello! Many thanks for this very useful series on the PSA exam. Can I ask if the new version of the interaction checker ("Stockley's Interactions Checker") is available during current sittings of the PSA? It seems to be only accessible under particular subscription conditions (which I unfortunately don't have access to), but would be good to know if it is still accessible during the exam, as it is indeed much handier and faster than the BNF way of checking for interactions. Many thanks!
@MindtheBleep5 ай бұрын
Hey there, Thank you for your question. There is a bnf interaction checker that the first lecture in this series makes reference to which is a very good interaction checker. It would be best to speak to your university PSA lead regarding the Stockley’s version as they will have the most up to date information about your query but I suspect you won’t have access to Stockley’s specifically in the exam. Please do let us know if there are any updates 😊 good luck for your exams, MTB

Fundamentally, the SJT doesn't look favourably on answers where you relinquish responsibility to somebody else when it is within your remit and you haven't attempted to resolve the situation. Therefore, E is before C.

Hi, For Question 5 I noticed in the BNF it has the copper coils as a caution in Epilepsy patients due to inducing seizures. Will this change the answer or does it still remain as the answer?
@MindtheBleep10 ай бұрын
Hey Vassysoma, Thank you for your query. The copper IUD is listed to be used with caution in the BNF in epilepsy (risk of seizure at time of insertion), however if you refer to the FSRH guidelines it is listed as UKMEC category 1 and therefore ok to use. You can find the guidelines here: www.fsrh.org/standards-and-guidance/documents/ukmec-2016-summary-sheets/ Please let us know if you have any further questions. KR, MTB

Hi, just a quick question about the last asthma question. We are taught for peak flow to take the three readings and then record the best, if you do this with the best being 390, then his PEFR is >75% his usual of 500ml. Therefore, shouldn't this be classed as a mild exacerbation? Why is it that the worst is used here? Thanks so much for all your videos!
@MindtheBleep11 ай бұрын
Dear Mhairihunter, Thank you for your question, You are correct, you take the best of the 3 readings. The BNF treatment summary classifies moderate exacerbation as Peak flow > 50-75% best or predicted. The patient's peak flow is >75% of their best/predicted and therefore would fit into the moderate category as there is no mild classification in the BNF. We hope this helps, KR, MTB

Dear Mhairihunter, Thanks for your question. In regards to COCP being contraindicated in migraine, it really depends on whether migraine is with aura and whether you are initiating or continuing the COCP.
