After studying for finals my head is currently full of useless information. Let's see how much of it you know.
1. How many amino acids compose the Amyloid Beta protein?
2. What is PARK2?
3. On which chromosome is the gene known as "huntingtin" located on?
4. What is neural plasticity?
5. What is the "Cheese Effect"?
6. What is the epidermal growth factor receptor of the breast cell called?
7. What is an immunotoxin (I actually find this one rather interesting)?
8. What is PSA? What's a normal value for it?
9. At what temperature is cryosurgery of the prostate performed at?
10. Name an antibiotic that is known to cause tendonitis and tendon rupture. It is not given to children because it damages growing bones/cartilage.
Let's see if I remember the answers later.

neural plasticity: ability of the brain to regenerate??
i remember learning about huntingtin but can't remember what chromosome it was on...
cheese effect sounds familiar...something to do with the inflammatory response??
PSA is what they test for prostate cancer. have NO clue what the values are.
that is proof that a lot of the stuff we learn in this nursing program goes in one ear, hangs out in the brain for a while until the exam is written, and then goes out the other ear.
ok regenerate is wrong. adapt and adjust? form new pathways?
