Question of the Day

Question: Which GABA’ergic drugs are not reversed by the drug flumazenil?

Question:  C. diphtheriae is an aerobic gram-positive bacillus. Toxin production (toxigenicity) occurs only when the bacillus is itself infected (lysogenized) by a specific virus (bacteriophage) carrying the genetic information for the toxin (tox gene). Only toxigenic strains can cause severe disease. What is the pathogenesis of toxigenic diphtheria?

Question: Are serial determinations of coagulation ability necessary following a bite of the copperhead snake (Agkistrodon contortrix)?

Question:  What is the so-called “Pseudo-Bartter Syndrome”?

Question: Does the drug MDMA have any legitimate therapeutic usage?
