Are you sick of reading medical textbooks? Listening to lecture recordings? Too shy to join a study group and listen to students discuss medical topics? Join in on the Common Rounds as two medical students explain what they know to each other. Over the course of this year, we’ll cover all general to…
Much apologies for the delay in the release of the episode. Today I talk about lung ventilation and mechanics. In the next episode we will discuss lung blood circulation. Enjoy!
In this episode I try to put together the contents of the last episode in preparation for the discussion of concepts of respiratory physiology. In the next episode we will talk about ventilation followed by circulation!
Today we move on to discuss the cells that make up the respiratory tract. I apologise for the delay in releasing the episode, will try harder to stick to schedule. In the meantime, hope you find this useful!
Welcome to the next section of episodes where we discuss the anatomy of the thorax. In the subsequent episodes the episodes to come will involve the cellular structure and physiology, followed by a discussion of pulmonary pathology.
Finally, we discuss the effect of long standing venous disease in this episode.
After discussing the effects of an acute event threatening a limb, we discuss the effect of chronic ischaemia on the limb.
Much apologies for the delay in releasing episodes. We talk a little bit about the vascular component of cardiovascular disease as we near the end of this section.
Before we move on to peripheral vascular disease, we discuss the rare but fatal condition of dissection; the end point of aortic aneurysms.
In this episode, we move on to the abdominal aortic aneurysms. Following this, we will talk about the most feared complication of aneurysms; dissection.
Hamed is back, kicking off a series of episodes on aneurysm as we move closer to the completion of cardiology.
In this episode, Andy discusses ventricular tachycardia, a topic that can be difficult to understand but very important in critical care settings.
After talking about AF, Andy discusses the rest of the supraventricular tachycardias, a topic that can be difficult to understand but very important in critical care settings.
Today, Andy will discuss the phenomenon of atrial fibrillation. Another few episodes on tachycardia are to follow, and then we will wrap up the section on cardiology.
The first the series of arrhythmias, we discuss bradycardia. Hope you find it useful.
And this series on valvular diseases comes to an end with this episode. Next episode will be on arrhythmias.
Moving on, we complete the left sided valve diseases. In the next episode, we will discuss the right sided valvular diseases.
Following on from the last episode, we go into more detail about the manifestation valvular diseases, starting with the left sided valves.
In this episode we discuss the general principles of damage to the valvular heart tissue. In the subsequent episodes, we will go into a little more detail about each of them.
Hi everyone. I have realised that it's taking a lot longer to download episodes than it did when we first started. Hopefully, this is a result of my connection, but I will be working on to fixing this issue as swiftly as I can. Much apologies. (G)
Following on, we discuss the sequelae of untreated pericarditis, which can be lethal
We move on to discuss the diseases of the covering of the heart, a topic I find very interesting, especially because of the complexity they add to chest pain assessment
In this episode, Hamed talks about the cardiomyopathies, and the clinical features that they may result in.
In this episode Hamed talks about something central to not just cardiology, but a lot of medicine from every discipline.
We complete our series on Ischaemic Heart Disease with the classic STEMI, one of the most important ECG signs and diagnoses.
In this episode we discuss the rather challenging parts of ischaemic heart disease, the lack of classic ECG changes making diagnoses harder.
We kick off a series of episodes on ischaemic heart disease with stable angina. Hope you enjoy it!
Merry Christmas! One of the most important disorders today, and possibly one of the most common. Hypertension has multi-systemic effects, hope this episode covers most of them.
. Another disorder that can have many clinical consequences and can produce some very intriguing clinical signs.
In todays episode, we introduce the concept of myocardial contractility, which will set the basis for the upcoming few episodes and some later in the series when we talk about hypertension and ischaemia. In this episode, I discuss the concept of myocardial contractility, the basis of understanding the response of cardiac tissue to respond to changes in the haemodynamic status of the body.
Much apologies for the lapse in the release of episodes in the last month. In this episode we move a step forward from the ECG trace to discuss a very broad overview of the ECG patterns that one can expect in categorising pathology. The video for this episode should be out on YouTube before the end of the week and hopefully should make a lot more sense!
Today we kick off a series of episodes on the ECG, starting from the very basics. Hopefully, in the next episode we'll discuss the synthesis of the finding of an ECG and then later on integrate cardiac pathology with the trace we expect on ECG.
In this episode, Bill talks about the steps in the beginning and completely of a heart beat. Regardless, it is still no small episode!
Today, Bill discusses the ion channels and the currents involved in the transmission of signals responsible for cardiac contraction.
In this episode, we do an overview of the histology of the blood vessels, which has a significance in the subsequent episodes when we discuss physiology and pathophysiology. The lymphatic circulation has been deliberately omitted from the discussion; as I felt that it would be better to explain it along with lymph nodes in the context of immunology; which we hope to cover in the future.
Following on from anatomy, we move on to touch on the cellular structure of the heart before we start discussing the physiology of the heart. Hopefully aim to have a more regular schedule in the coming weeks!
Welcome to Cardiology, and today, Bill Maish joins us to talk about the anatomy of the heart and the clinical significance. Hope you enjoy it
Neurology comes to an end with a brief discussion about Age-Related Macular Degeneration. Tomorrow, join us for some Cardiac Anatomy!
Cataract and Glaucoma. One more episode to come in Neurology
The inflammatory conditions of the structures in the eye briefly discussed. 2 more episodes in this series to come.
This week, we wrap up the Neurology segment with the eyes and vision. Because it end up in such a long episode, we decided to cut it down into 3 episodes which I will release serially this week. Part 1 covers refractive errors, strabismus, amblyopia, blocked nasolacrimal duct and diabetic retinopathy. Next Wednesday will be the first episode on Cardiology!
Today, Andy talks through two autoimmune diseases that affect the junction between neurones and transmission to the muscles.
And today we talk about loss of motor function due to dysfunction in the motor neuronal pathway, a famous sufferer of which is Stephen Hawking, as Hamed explains.

And now we discuss language disorders that can be a manifestation of various cerebral pathologies.
And now we discuss language disorders that can be a manifestation of various cerebral pathologies.
For the next two episodes we will cover the autoimmune conditions of the central nervous system. Please excuse the quality of this episode, I will come back and fix it in the future.
We end the series on strokes with a short talk on the haemorragic stroke, classifications, risks, pathophysiology, and management.
The second in out series of strokes is the effects of ischaemia. Hope you enjoy it!
Finally, learning all that cerebrovascular anatomy is going to come to use as we discuss the effects of ischaemic and haemorrhage strokes in our series starting with transient ischaemic attacks.
In today's episode, we discuss seizures and epilepsy. Hope you find it useful.
