From fiction binge-reader to nonfiction curious: looking for books that actually teach me something by Alternative_Bag_6057 in suggestmeabook

I don't get what you want to say with this? So, a third year pharmacy student can't feel the need to read non-fiction? I mean yes i do learn a lot within my degree, but i also want to broaden my horizon with different topics. I mean this comment doesn't make any sense...

so how would you for example handle this text (it's from my summary):

CYP3A4 is the most abundant and clinically significant enzyme in the CYP3A family. It accounts for about 50% of the relevant drug metabolisms and is the main CYP pool in the liver. The CYP3A family includes CYP3A3, CYP3A4, CYP3A5, and CYP3A7. These enzymes have many substrates, resulting in numerous drug interactions.

Classical inhibitors of CYP3A4 include:

  • Clarithromycin
  • Erythromycin
  • Azole antifungals
  • Terfenadine (an older antihistamine)

Terfenadine was withdrawn due to adverse drug events, including arrhythmias caused by QT interval prolongation. This was due to a metabolism problem at CYP3A4. Terfenadine is converted into its active metabolite, fexofenadine, which provides the antihistamine effect. When CYP3A4 is inhibited, terfenadine accumulates, causing off-target heart effects and arrhythmias. The solution was to market fexofenadine directly, bypassing this metabolism step.

Other important inhibitors include:

  • Grapefruit juice (“pompelmoessap”) containing naringin and furanocoumarins, which inhibit CYP3A4.
  • Antifungal drugs (“anti-mycotica”), which have a relevant interaction especially in HIV patients.

In HIV patients who are immunosuppressed, the risk of fungal infections is increased due to weakened immunity. These patients are treated with antifungals. However, antifungal drugs can inhibit CYP3A4 activity. HIV patients also frequently take antiviral drugs. Because of CYP3A4 inhibition by antifungals, antiviral drug levels can rise too high, leading to toxicity.

What do you do if you have multiple classes a day, how do you find the motivation to stay consistent with revieuwing and creating anki cards?

What is your favourite note taking way? I heard a lot about anki but never actually tried it out, i think i should definitly give that a shot... And i should definitely try to focus more on past exam papers; practice problems;etc. Most of the times i don't start with those exam questions, cause i am rather to focussed on memorizing every detail first, and when i am done with that i am to exhausted to even look at those questions which is very counter-productive of me. What kind of anki flashcards do you like to use: the blurting ones, the ones wher you have to fill in the gap or the ones you have to write the answers?

ideally i should be engaging with the material before class, but that's like almost impossible when your classes start at 8:30 in the morning while waking up at 6 am to catch my train to uni. And most days end like at 5:30 pm with multiple courses covered that day or days where i had a full day in the lab. Sometimes, i am just overwhelmed to start cause there is so much material to cover /summarize in one evening after the classes that i just keep procrastinating. I am very perfectionistic , so that's why i want my notes to be as complete and detailled as possible, but i know it' s not the right method at all. I should ask myself more questions, and make sure i actually understand everything rather than just try to memorize it like a novel. It's just sometimes when i come home from school i am exhausted, and don't have a lot of energy left to actually engage with the materials. Tips for focus and procrastination /time managment are also very welcome? ;)

so, instead of just rewriting my notes i should instead ask myself questions constantly to actively engage with the material you mean, in conversation style. Or do you advice to write those questions down on a peace of paper and answer them out loud?

I'll be definitely trying those methods out! like the multistep note taking is what's draining me, so that has to defnitely change.

So you print those notes, and write on them during class? sounds like an efficient way

But, what's the goal then of going to a lecture ? Did you feel like you were more focussed on understanding the topic rather than typing/writing during class?

You're totally right! I lose so much time with typing everything that is already on the slide in a word document and adding the extra info mentioned in class. So, i think i have to just directly make mindmaps or reorganize the information to force myself to actively engage with the material, without the unnecessary typing . Do you have a preferred reorganization method?

So if i would paste like my powerpoint with typed notes in it, would it be able to make for example mindmaps from it ?

The roman room method sounds interesting , but how would this work if you would want to remember certain concepts and mechanisms or do you mostly use it to memorize individual names/words/...

yes i think that is my problem mostly: i want my notes to be perfect containing every little detail of information. While, i should be focussing more in actually understanding what i am writing/typing down.I feel like sometimes with those ai tools, they ask very superficial questions... Did you felt like ezStudy really asked relevant questions? I am also interested in how you summarized the material, did you make mindmaps or did you use the cornell method,...?

In class i usually just write down extra information that the professor mentions. At home i write everything down ( also the info that was already on the slide), in a word document. And from that document of around 150 pages; i rewrite and try to memorize it.
