If the question really is "preventable blindness", the usual answers are:
1. trachoma (all)
2. Vitamin A deficiency (children)
This answer probably is based on the idea that cataracts and glaucoma are not "preventable" on a global health policy basis. I'm not sure that this isn't somewhat just a matter of semantics, so I'd be prepared with any of the 4 answers.

A document I found said glaucoma. My pimp thought it was river blindness 😕 .
Here's another.....How many grades of spondylolisthesis are there?
post your pimping.

5, right?
Here's one I got from a classmate that was on surgery: what are 3 things that induce defecation?
7-12 days or so, isn't it?Stinger86 said:
Sorry, no pimpings of my own to offer. 😉
DrMom said:
Yeah, it's 5; Stage "0", I, II, III, IV. If it's >75% slipped, it's grade IV. I'm going to have to look up green sclera, defecation, and sickle cells. Or just see what everyone else posts. 😀
Hmm, somebody asked me about BLUE sclera the other day (iron deficiency) but I dunno about GREEN...NateatUC said:
So in Surgical Recall it says that scorpion bite is a cause of pancreatitis. So I was feeling pretty good about myself when I got that one. Then the attending wanted to know what species of scorpion. Sheesh!
The same attending also asked me in what animal were the parathyroid glands first discovered. (Hint: it's a very large animal that was living at the London Zoo at the time.)
I think this particular attending watches too much Discovery Channel. 😀
NateatUC said:
I found a drug that can cause sclera to turn yellow or green: amsacrine. It's an antineoplastic.

Osteogenesis Imperfecta (and other CT disorders) can cause blue appearing sclera.

1. Relaxation of the puborectalis muscle. (sacral parasympathetic nn's)
2. Transient relaxation of internal anal sphincter (distention of the rectum, intrinsic & sympathetic innervation)
3. Voluntary relaxation of external anal sphincter (striated m innervated by pudendal nerve).
Am I right Dr. Mompimp? 😀

Sounds similar to what my classmates tried...think much simpler.

All right then.
1. Eating
2. Walking
3. Coffee

Much closer 👍
The surgeon wanted exercise, fiber, and water. 🙄 Nobody even got close, but I'll be ready if he tries that one with me 😎
DrMaryC said:
for sure trachoma. no doubt.
What must be considered in a child (<14) with elevated platelets?
OI types 1 & 4 are the most common causes of blue sclera from everything I've learned.DrMom said:
Green sclerae... I would guess biliverdin reductase deficiency in someone with increased heme breakdown 😕
My turn:
How did Wenkebach discover the phenomenon named after him? (no, he didn't do an ECG 😛)
Why is diabetes mellitus named so?

What drug is given to reverse heparin?
Feel pretty smart for knowing that one? (hint: everyone should get that via knee-jerk reaction)
Now: Where does that drug COME from? (read this question carefully--there's a bit of a subtle hint in the question itself)

What are the 4 MC AV malformations?

What's an MC AV? (the abbreviation is unfamiliar, sorry)
Diabetes mellitus is actually Greek, not Latin. It means "honey waterspout" for obvious reasons.
Protamine sulfate to reverse heparin. I think it comes from salmon but I don't know about the origins.
Was I right about green sclerae? 😕

It actually comes from salmon sperm. Yep, that's right... iv man fish juice... it's the protein that keeps the salmon sperm from clumping (or something like that).
My (not)favorite pimp question - what are the eponymics for the parietal pelvic and visceral pelvic fasciae?
-t
Good guess, but sialoliths are hard and frequently invisible clinically (in addition to other pathognomonic signs & symptoms), which brings me to...Boomer said:
Clues #1, 2, & 3: The lesion is the color of normal tissue, asymptomatic, and patient reports an active sexual history.
AKA condyloma acuminatum. You win the golden ukelele. 😀Mumpu said:
As a follow-up, what--specifically--causes venereal warts?
Boomer said:
Protamine sulfate. Ok, I'm going to guess porcine semen. For $100. Joking.
What's the mechanism of action of imipramine?
NateatUC said:
Nope, that's a different fissure. Believe me, this is un-googleable unless you know what you're looking for. I had to break down and make him tell me the answer.
If you can figure out the answer, you deserve a million in prizes.
Human papilloma virus is the cause of genital warts.
Green sclerae in peds... Someone's been munching on crayons again?
Anyone willing to take a crack at my Wenkebach question? Hmmm? As a hint, the guy had mad physical exam skillz. 😛
