study tip request: studying on public transport (or sth related like how to know what to record when you record yourself saying notes so that you can listen to them on public transport)
Testing yourself is the most effective way to learn a topic, so this one is fairly straightforward. For recording:
Formulate an examination style question, and run through the answer in your head, organising your thoughts.
Then record the question, and mouth silently the answer fluently (reason being that just thinking in your head may result in too little or too much silence.
Leave a few extra seconds of silence for thinking time (~3-5 seconds).
Answer the question aloud in the recording (I’d suggest a brief one)
Rinse and repeat until you have enough to last you the whole commute.
Hope that helps! For more tips on how to spend time on commutes, check out my post on Staying Productive No Matter How Much Time You Have :)

Chlamydia trachomatis conjunctivitis in a newborn (ophthalmia neonatorum) Conjunctivitis is usually bilateral and occurs during the second week after delivery. Infection occurs from contamination of the eyes on passage through an infected endocervical canal. Chlamydia trachomatis pneumonia also commonly occurs at the same time.
Positives are violet in color and negatives are red or pink on gram stain! My untidy handwritten notes here.
Staphylococcus epidermidis is a coagulase negative, Gram-positive coccus. The organism uses sophisticated regulatory networks to adapt its metabolism to suit varying environmental conditions. S. epidermidis relies on biofilm formation to protect cells from the host immune system and other anti-microbial molecules.

Ketone bodies are produced in the liver and can be used as an energy source in the mitochondrial of peripheral tissues. Important fact: RBCs can not use ketones because they lack mitochondria.
The liver is unable to peform Ketolysis because it lacks Thiophorase (Succinyl-CoA Acetoacetate Transferase), and is hence unable to activate its own ketones.
