Description

“FCPS Mate One Liners” is likely a concise resource containing key points, important facts, and high-yield information relevant to the FCPS (Fellowship of College of Physicians and Surgeons) examination. Here are some examples of what you might find in such a resource:

1. **Anatomy**: “The ulnar nerve innervates the intrinsic muscles of the hand except the thenar muscles, which are innervated by the median nerve.”

2. **Physiology**: “Renin is released by the juxtaglomerular cells of the kidney in response to decreased renal perfusion pressure.”

3. **Pathology**: “In Hodgkin’s lymphoma, the presence of Reed-Sternberg cells is characteristic.”

4. **Pharmacology**: “Acetaminophen overdose can lead to hepatotoxicity due to the production of toxic metabolites.”

5. **Clinical Medicine**: “Sudden onset severe chest pain radiating to the back is highly suggestive of aortic dissection.”

6. **Surgery**: “The classic triad of gallstone disease includes right upper quadrant pain, fever, and jaundice.”

7. **Obstetrics and Gynecology**: “Gestational diabetes increases the risk of macrosomia and shoulder dystocia during childbirth.”

8. **Pediatrics**: “Kawasaki disease presents with fever, bilateral conjunctival injection, rash, cervical lymphadenopathy, and mucosal changes.”

9. **Psychiatry**: “Selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs) are first-line medications for the treatment of major depressive disorder.”

10. **Radiology**: “On X-ray, a ‘coin lesion’ in the lung is suggestive of a solitary pulmonary nodule.”

These one-liners are designed to provide quick, easy-to-remember information that can be useful for last-minute revision or as a rapid review tool for candidates preparing for the FCPS examination.
