With the explosion of the maker movement, schools are beginning to embrace creativity. However, what does this mean for assessment? Should we assess the creative process? Should we assess the finished product? Does assessing creativity actually make kids more risk-averse? In this workshop we explore what it means to assess both the creative process and the creative product without leading to risk aversion.

Who, exactly, were the Progressives? One historian writes that they “offered an
impressive array of reform proposals.” Why did they do so? What was our country like
during the Gilded Age? What, exactly, were these proposals and what benefit did they
bring to “life in these United States?” To what extent was the nation altered by their
proposals? Please explain why the U.S. did (or did not) become a “kinder, gentler
nation” as a result of the Progressive movement. Finally, how do some historians assess
the Progressives? What examples from the Progressive Era and from today can you
provide to support or refute their arguments?

FCPS Physiology
ICMT, CHPE, DHPE (STMU)
MPH (GC University, Faisalabad)
MBA (Virtual University of Pakistan)
Learning Objectives:
Describe the structure and function of taste buds.
Describe the relationship between the taste threshold and taste index of common substances.
Explain the chemical basis and signal transduction of taste perception for each type of primary taste sensation.
Recognize different abnormalities of taste perception and their causes.
Key Topics:
Significance of Taste Sensation:
Differentiation between pleasant and harmful food
Influence on behavior
Selection of food based on metabolic needs
Receptors of Taste:
Taste buds on the tongue
Influence of sense of smell, texture of food, and pain stimulation (e.g., by pepper)
Primary and Secondary Taste Sensations:
Primary taste sensations: Sweet, Sour, Salty, Bitter, Umami
Chemical basis and signal transduction mechanisms for each taste
Taste Threshold and Index:
Taste threshold values for Sweet (sucrose), Salty (NaCl), Sour (HCl), and Bitter (Quinine)
Taste index relationship: Inversely proportional to taste threshold
Taste Blindness:
Inability to taste certain substances, particularly thiourea compounds
Example: Phenylthiocarbamide
Structure and Function of Taste Buds:
Composition: Epithelial cells, Sustentacular/Supporting cells, Taste cells, Basal cells
Features: Taste pores, Taste hairs/microvilli, and Taste nerve fibers
Location of Taste Buds:
Found in papillae of the tongue (Fungiform, Circumvallate, Foliate)
Also present on the palate, tonsillar pillars, epiglottis, and proximal esophagus
Mechanism of Taste Stimulation:
Interaction of taste substances with receptors on microvilli
Signal transduction pathways for Umami, Sweet, Bitter, Sour, and Salty tastes
Taste Sensitivity and Adaptation:
Decrease in sensitivity with age
Rapid adaptation of taste sensation
Role of Saliva in Taste:
Dissolution of tastants to reach receptors
Washing away the stimulus
Taste Preferences and Aversions:
Mechanisms behind taste preference and aversion
Influence of receptors and neural pathways
Impact of Sensory Nerve Damage:
Degeneration of taste buds if the sensory nerve fiber is cut
Abnormalities of Taste Detection:
Conditions: Ageusia, Hypogeusia, Dysgeusia (parageusia)
Causes: Nerve damage, neurological disorders, infections, poor oral hygiene, adverse drug effects, deficiencies, aging, tobacco use, altered neurotransmitter levels

2 Case Reports of Gastric Ultrasound
Ethanol (CH3CH2OH), or beverage alcohol, is a two-carbon alcohol
that is rapidly distributed in the body and brain. Ethanol alters many
neurochemical systems and has rewarding and addictive properties. It
is the oldest recreational drug and likely contributes to more morbidity,
mortality, and public health costs than all illicit drugs combined. The
5th edition of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders
(DSM-5) integrates alcohol abuse and alcohol dependence into a single
disorder called alcohol use disorder (AUD), with mild, moderate,
and severe subclassifications (American Psychiatric Association, 2013).
In the DSM-5, all types of substance abuse and dependence have been
combined into a single substance use disorder (SUD) on a continuum
from mild to severe. A diagnosis of AUD requires that at least two of
the 11 DSM-5 behaviors be present within a 12-month period (mild
AUD: 2–3 criteria; moderate AUD: 4–5 criteria; severe AUD: 6–11 criteria).
The four main behavioral effects of AUD are impaired control over
drinking, negative social consequences, risky use, and altered physiological
effects (tolerance, withdrawal). This chapter presents an overview
of the prevalence and harmful consequences of AUD in the U.S.,
the systemic nature of the disease, neurocircuitry and stages of AUD,
comorbidities, fetal alcohol spectrum disorders, genetic risk factors, and
pharmacotherapies for AUD.

New Directions in Targeted Therapeutic Approaches for Older Adults With Mantl...i3 Health
i3 Health is pleased to make the speaker slides from this activity available for use as a non-accredited self-study or teaching resource.
This slide deck presented by Dr. Kami Maddocks, Professor-Clinical in the Division of Hematology and
Associate Division Director for Ambulatory Operations
The Ohio State University Comprehensive Cancer Center, will provide insight into new directions in targeted therapeutic approaches for older adults with mantle cell lymphoma.
STATEMENT OF NEED
Mantle cell lymphoma (MCL) is a rare, aggressive B-cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL) accounting for 5% to 7% of all lymphomas. Its prognosis ranges from indolent disease that does not require treatment for years to very aggressive disease, which is associated with poor survival (Silkenstedt et al, 2021). Typically, MCL is diagnosed at advanced stage and in older patients who cannot tolerate intensive therapy (NCCN, 2022). Although recent advances have slightly increased remission rates, recurrence and relapse remain very common, leading to a median overall survival between 3 and 6 years (LLS, 2021). Though there are several effective options, progress is still needed towards establishing an accepted frontline approach for MCL (Castellino et al, 2022). Treatment selection and management of MCL are complicated by the heterogeneity of prognosis, advanced age and comorbidities of patients, and lack of an established standard approach for treatment, making it vital that clinicians be familiar with the latest research and advances in this area. In this activity chaired by Michael Wang, MD, Professor in the Department of Lymphoma & Myeloma at MD Anderson Cancer Center, expert faculty will discuss prognostic factors informing treatment, the promising results of recent trials in new therapeutic approaches, and the implications of treatment resistance in therapeutic selection for MCL.
Target Audience
Hematology/oncology fellows, attending faculty, and other health care professionals involved in the treatment of patients with mantle cell lymphoma (MCL).
Learning Objectives
1.) Identify clinical and biological prognostic factors that can guide treatment decision making for older adults with MCL
2.) Evaluate emerging data on targeted therapeutic approaches for treatment-naive and relapsed/refractory MCL and their applicability to older adults
3.) Assess mechanisms of resistance to targeted therapies for MCL and their implications for treatment selection

The prostate is an exocrine gland of the male mammalian reproductive system
It is a walnut-sized gland that forms part of the male reproductive system and is located in front of the rectum and just below the urinary bladder
Function is to store and secrete a clear, slightly alkaline fluid that constitutes 10-30% of the volume of the seminal fluid that along with the spermatozoa, constitutes semen
A healthy human prostate measures (4cm-vertical, by 3cm-horizontal, 2cm ant-post ).
It surrounds the urethra just below the urinary bladder. It has anterior, median, posterior and two lateral lobes
It’s work is regulated by androgens which are responsible for male sex characteristics
Generalised disease of the prostate due to hormonal derangement which leads to non malignant enlargement of the gland (increase in the number of epithelial cells and stromal tissue)to cause compression of the urethra leading to symptoms (LUTS

3. Introduction
Prepared with the help of the community at pagingdr.proboards61.com If you find this sample test
useful please consider helping out in refining or extending this test. Visit pagingdr.proboards.com for
more information.
This GAMSAT Practice Test contains materials and questions equivalent to the full annual Graduate
Australian Medical School Admissions Test and will take approximately five and a half hours to
complete if worked through under test conditions.
The questions contained in the Practice Test are grouped, as in the live test, into three sections:
Section I: Reasoning in Humanities and Social Sciences
Section II: Written Communication
Section III: Reasoning in Biological and Physical Sciences
As in the live test, the timing of each section is as follows
Section I: 75 questions 100 minutes
Section II: 2 questions 60 minutes
Section III: 110 questions 170 minutes
Note: This preview version:
Section I: 8 questions 10.5 minutes
Section II: 2 questions 60 minutes
Section III: 17 questions 26 minutes
You are encouraged, if possible, to devote an entire day to the completion of the Practice Test,
taking a break of 20 minutes between Sections I and II and a one hour break before commencing
Section III.
You are strongly advised not to check your answers against the keys provided for Sections I and III
until you have completed all three sections of the test. In fact, it would probably be beneficial to
leave the scoring of your work and analysis of any errors until the following day.
By working through the Practice Test you will become familiar with the level of difficulty and the
kind of materials found in the live test. You will also accustom yourself to the number of questions it
is necessary to complete in the given time frame. These questions should enable you to gain useful
experience in the techniques of answering multiple choice questions.
The writing prompts provided for Section II give you an opportunity to practice writing two finished
essays in a limited time. Obviously, no solutions can be given, but notes on the assessment of
GAMSAT Written Communication are provided on page 11.

4. Section I - Reasoning in Humanities and Social Sciences
Unit 1
According to Greek mythology Cronus overthrew his father, Uranus, as ruler of the Universe and
fathered six children with Rhea. The youngest three of the six were:
Hera presided over the right arrangements of the marriage and is the archetype of the union
in the marriage bed, but she was not notable as a mother. The legitimate offspring of her
union with Zeus were Ares, Hebe, Eris and Eileithyia. Hera was jealous of Zeus' giving birth to
Athena without recourse to her (actually with Metis), so she gave birth to Hephaestus without
him.
Poseidon was the god of the sea, as well as of horses and of earthquakes. Amongst his many
children he had two sons, Despoina and Arion, with his sister Demeter. In the myth, Demeter
was searching for her lost daughter Persephone when Poseidon saw and desired her. To
avoid him, she took the form of a mare, but he took the form of a stallion and forced his
attentions on her.
Zeus was the king of the gods, the ruler of Mount Olympus, and the god of the sky and
thunder. His symbols were the thunderbolt, eagle, bull and the oak. Zeus was frequently
depicted by Greek artists in one of two poses: standing, striding forward, a thunderbolt leveled
in his raised right hand, or seated in majesty. According to the Iliad, he was the father of
Aphrodite by Dione.

A bullet is fired from a gun with a barrel of 50cm, towards a target exactly 100m away. To fire a
bullet, gunpowder is ignited and the expanding gasses that result from the burning gunpowder
applies a constant force to the bullet while it travels down the barrel of the gun. The force that is
applied to the bullet is 100N, for each cm2 of surface area of the bullet, per gram of gunpowder
used. The bullet is 9mm in diameter and has a mass of 5g. The bullet leaves the gun at a velocity of
500m/s and experiences negligible air friction.
6. How much gunpowder, rounded to the nearest gram, was used to fire the bullet?

The oxygen-haemoglobin dissociation curve plots the relationship between percent oxygen
saturation of haemoglobin (the oxygen carrying protein in red blood cells) and the partial pressure of
oxygen.
12. Venous blood is normally 70% saturated with oxygen. The venous partial pressure of O2 is
therefore closest to:
A. 60mmHg
B. 100mmHg
C. 90mmHg
D. 40mmHg
13. The normal position of the oxygen-haemoglobin dissociation curve depends on the
concentration of a metabolite; 2,3-diphosphoglycerate (2,3-DPG). Increased levels of 2,3-DPG result
in haemoglobin having a lower affinity for oxygen. In such a situation, the oxygen-haemoglobin
curve would:
A. Shift to the left
B. Shift to the right
C. Be unchanged
D. Shift upwards

11. Unit 5
Meiosis is composed of two sequential nuclear divisions (Fig. 1) designed to produce a
spermatozoon in the male or an ovum in the female. The first nuclear division separates homologous
chromosome pairs, whereas the second division separates sister chromatids of a replicated
chromosome. Uneven separation of nuclear material or non-disjunction is a rare event that usually
results in the destruction of the affected cells. Some chromosomal abnormalities, however, are able
to survive through the process of fertilisation (combination of male and female sex cells to form a
zygote), development and after birth.
Schematic representation demonstrating the separation of sex chromosomes during meiosis in the male.
14. When combined with a normal ovum, which cell could produce a genetically normal male?
A. A
B. C
C. E
D. F
15. In which cell is non-disjunction likely to have occurred if cell E (Fig. 1) contains no sex
chromosomes?
