 Mnemonimania: on vaccines courtesy my zoology sir and a lil tweaking by me.... 

the vaccines used nowadays are of many types..

attenuated vaccines : weakened pathogens unable to cause disease but sufficient to activate our immune response..
eg. Influenza, BCG, OPV, yellow fever, small pox..
remembered as hI BOYS or boy's eye(I)
 
killed : dead pathogens used but their antibody sites are still funtional
eg. TAB vaccine, Typhoid vaccine, salk vaccine for polio, rabies, plague, typhus fever vaccine, and cholera
remembered as: TaTa SiR,Please Take Care.
 
cell fragments: this is real hell to remember even if u use a mnemonic.
eg. PCM : polysaccharide of cell wall of meningococcal bacteria
 
PCP: polysaccharide of capsule of pneumococcal bacteria
 
HBP : hepatitis B polypeptide.

REMEMBERING THE NAMES OF VITAMINS EASILY >>>VIZ VITAMIN B -COMPLEXES

SO HOW TO REMEMBER VITAMIN B COMPLEXES : ----IVE FOUND A METHOD HOPE IT HELPXX

IT GOES LYK THIAMIN ? SHOULD BE VCH VITAMIN ?? VIT B1?B2?B3?B4 etc..

SO its eZi LOOK

THIAMIN HAS alphabet " A " VCH IS THE NO# 1 ALPHABET OF THE 26 ALPHABETS SO V SAY THIAMIN IS VIT B1

SIMILARLY

RIBOFLAVIN = HAS "B" VCH RANKS 2nd ALPHABET oUT OF the 26 alphabets ie B MEANS IT IS VIT B2

SIMILARY

NIACIN = HAS "C" means VIT B3

PANTOTHENIC ACID = SINCE PENTA MEANS 5 so ItS VIT B5>>> THNX PLZ RATE

ALSo

PYRIDOXINE = HAS X VCH SOUNDS LYK HEXA WE CONCLUDE IT IS VIT B6

HOPE IT HELPZ

LUV U ALL >>>T.C BYEX nd most of all "ALL THE BEXT TO VIGNESH 4 BEGINNING THIS USEFUL THREAD..THMBX up YO!!!

Awesome forum: Thank you SO much for all the great input!

1) To recall which side of the heart carries what type of blood --> "LORD" (Left Oxygenated, Right Deoxygenated)

2) Taxonomic Hierarchies --> King Philip Cried Out, "For Goodness' Sake!" (Kingdom, Phylum, Class, Order, Family, Genus, Species."

3) Purines - Since the word is short, so they're double ring molecules. (Adenine, Guanine)

Whereas, Pyrimidines - long word, single ring. (Cytosine, Thymine, Uracil)

 

[Also, "Crazy Glue":
Strongest bonds are between Cytosine and Guanine, strong like Crazy Glue (3 H-bonds), whereas the A=T only have 2 H-bonds. - not by me]

4) Trisomy Eighteen = Edward's Syndrome

Then mnemonics created by others and I find helpful

5) PROlactin stimulates the mammary glands to PROduce milk.
      Oxytocin stimulates the mammary glands to Ooze (release) milk.

6) Directions of pCO2 and HCO3 according to pH

ROME:
Respiratory= Opposite:
· pH is high, PCO2 is down (Alkalosis).
· pH is low, PCO2 is up (Acidosis).
Metabolic= Equal:
· pH is high, HCO3 is high (Alkalosis).
· pH is low, HCO3 is low (Acidosis).

 

7) Hepatitis: transmission routes:

"Vowels are bowels":
Hepatitis A and E transmitted by fecal-oral route.

8 ) Hemoglobin binding curve: causes of shift to the right = CADET
CO2
Acid
2,3-DPG (aka 2,3 BPG)
Exercise
Temperature

9)Types of blotting:

"SN0W DR0P":
· Match up the 1st word letter with 2nd word letter:
Southern=DNA
Northern=RNA
Western=Protein

10) Effects of Basophils & Eosinophils on allergy:

Basophils are "Bad-o-phils" because they contribute to our allergic reactions.
Eosinophils are "Easy-on-me-phils" because they counteract our allergic reactions.

That's it for now. Keep 'em coming!
