Hello everyone! My name is Steven Vuu and I am a categorical surgery resident at UCF. A little about me: I graduated from Ross University School of Medicine in the top 5% of my class with highest honors. I was a Dean's Honor Roll and Dean's List student in all 4 years and scored 250s and 260s on my Step 1 and 2 CK exams. My Step 2 CK score was ~95th Percentile. I was a head TA at my school, and personally tutored ~30 students each week in a classroom, and noticed that I helped many of my classmates increase their scores, so I would like to continue the tradition. Before that, I graduated from The University of British Columbia in Vancouver, BC, Canada with a bachelor degree in Science.

Treatment of pericarditis now is combination of NSAIDs and colchicine since it results in significantly better rates of remission and recurrence than treatment with NSAID alone. Don't get tripped up with the NSAID alone choice like I did :)))
Super helpful for the test. But this is why a lot of doctors suck. This is just straight regurgitation of facts. I wouldn't want my doctor to only know how a bunch of words fit together. Things in the real world dont work like this most of the time.
min 7:40 you mean respiratory alkalosis
new update for croup; all patients regardless of severity get steroids, and then add epi if in mod/severe distress
Herpes zoster vaccine can be given starting age 50yo! 2 doses
I thought if someone was hypovolemic, you always correct their fluid levels before you correct their sodium levels so we would give isotonic saline to someone who is hypotonic and hyponatremic first?
was burnt out, last 5 days only watched your videos on repeat. Got a very good score .Truly thank you for all these videos

Amazing review, thank you!!
This video would have been even better if you: - turned off your phone. The dinging is super distracting - made a simple PPT. Those who learn by hearing comprise the smallest percentage of learners. Good chunk of us are mixed learners, visuals help big time
This video - is available to us for FREE - is amazing even 5 years later Turn on captions if you want a reading visual. BUY his books if you want a "PPT"
For lung cancer, its 20 pack history

Thank you. 🙏🏻
Risk Factors: The two greatest risk factors for stroke are age and hypertension. TIA is basically a stroke that lasts for less than 24 hours, and symptoms resolve within 24 hours. TIA is reversible because there is no actual infarction of the brain cells. A clot resolves, or there's collateral circulation that perfuses the brain enough to save it in time. A key sign for TIA on board exams is amaurosis fugax, which is transient curtain-like blindness from a cholesterol plaque embolizing to the ophthalmic artery. To work up a stroke, the first step is a head CT without contrast. You do a CT without contrast to rule out hemorrhage because contrast is white, and blood in the brain is also white. This helps avoid camouflaging blood with the contrast. The main treatment for an ischemic stroke is TPA, which dissolves the clot but increases the risk of bleeding. A head CT without contrast is done to determine if the stroke is hemorrhagic, which would contraindicate TPA. 85% of strokes are ischemic, and the other 15% are hemorrhagic. The most common place for a stroke is the MCA. TIA- SHOWN BY AMAUROSIS FUGAX NCCT- STROKE(R/O HMG- IF NOT HMG- GIVE TPA), KIDNEY STONE Remember the homunculus: middle parts of the brain along the sagittal suture control the lower extremities, and outer parts control the upper extremities. If there's ischemia in the outer parts of the brain, there will be upper limb paralysis and sensory loss. The left MCA also supplies the language areas of the brain, including Broca's and Wernicke's areas. Broca's area is in the left inferior frontal lobe. Wernicke's area is in the temporal lobe. Left MCA strokes can cause language deficits: Broca's aphasia (expressive aphasia) or Wernicke's aphasia (receptive aphasia). A classic left MCA stroke will present with language deficits and right arm weakness and sensory loss, hyerreflex. Hemorrhagic strokes are often caused by trauma, ruptured berry aneurysm, or arteriovenous malformation. Subarachnoid hemorrhage is associated with the worst headache of someone's life and symptoms of increased intracranial pressure (ICP) like papilledema, nausea, and projectile vomiting. Berry aneurysms -autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease- surgical clipping. If a subarachnoid hemorrhage is unclear on CT, the next best step is a lumbar puncture, which will show red blood cells (xanthochromia). After diagnosing a stroke, you should work up the source with a carotid Doppler, echo, and EKG. Carotid stenosis can lead to thrombosis, and an echo can reveal wall motion abnormalities predisposing to thrombus formation. An EKG can reveal atrial fibrillation, which increases the risk of thrombus formation and stroke. For atrial fibrillation, the CHADS2 score is used to determine the need for anticoagulation. If chadvas 0 or 1= aspirin, if >=2- warfarin Lacunar strokes affect deep subcortical parts of the brain (basal ganglia, internal capsule, thalamus) and are often caused by hypertension.Lacunar strokes can cause pure motor strokes (internal capsule) or pure sensory strokes (thalamus- VPL). Pure motor strokes cause complete hemiparesis, indicating a lacunar stroke in the internal capsule. The left hemisphere controls language (aphasia), and the right parietal hemisphere controls spatial awareness (hemineglect) Increased ICP can be lowered with hyperventilation(METABOLITES GET WASHED OUT- ARTERIES VASOCONSTRICT- REDUCED ICP), mannitol, and elevating the head of the bed. For ischemic strokes within three hours, TPA is administered. Outside the three-hour window, aspirin is used. For symptomatic carotid stenosis with >70% occlusion, carotid endarterectomy is performed. For <70% occlusion, aspirin is the mainstay treatment. Hypertensive emergency first-line medications are nitroprusside, labetalol, and hydralazine. Essential tremor, also known as familial intention tremor, worsens with movement and improves with alcohol. Treat essential tremor with beta-blockers. Friedreich's ataxia features scoliosis, hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, and dorsal column problems. It's a trinucleotide repeat disorder (GAA). Dorsal column issues cause decreased pressure, proprioception, vibration, and touch. Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HOCM) in Friedreich's ataxia can cause sudden cardiac death in young athletes. Delirium is common in the elderly, often caused by infection or polypharmacy. Benzodiazepines and antimuscarinics can cause delirium.Delirium presents with fluctuating consciousness(SLEEPY AND AGITTAED) and worsens at night (sundowning). Treat AGITATED delirium with haloperidol. Multiple sclerosis is an autoimmune condition affecting the upper motor neurons and is characterized by symptoms spread out in space and time. MRI showing periventricular plaques and lumbar puncture showing oligoclonal bands. Treat- interferon and steroids for acute flares. TRIAD- CHARCOT- SCANNING SPEECH , INO, INTENTIONAL TREMOR, NYSTAGMUS= SIIN Guillain-Barré syndrome is an autoimmune condition affecting the peripheral nervous system, often following an infection. ascending paralysis - IVIG or plasmapheresis. Myasthenia gravis - FEMALE LIBRARIAN- PTOSIS, WEAKNESS SWALLOWING- worsens throughout the day. Diagnose myasthenia gravis with the edrophonium test and treat with pyridostigmine. Myasthenia gravis- associated with thymoma, so a CT of the thorax is recommended. Duchenne(5 YO) and Becker(18-20 Y) muscular dystrophy are X-linked recessive disorders causing muscle weakness, with Duchenne presenting earlier than Becker. Dystrophin is missing in these conditions. Tuberous sclerosis is characterized by Ashleaf spots, cardiac rhabdomyomas, epilepsy, angiomyolipomas of the kidneys, and facial fibromas. Sturge-Weber syndrome presents with port-wine stains on the face and intellectual disability. Von Hippel-Lindau disease is associated with renal cell carcinoma, pheochromocytoma, and cavernous hemangiomas of the brain. Arnold-Chiari malformation features myelomeningocele, syringomyelia, and tonsillar herniation. Syringomyelia causes loss of pain and temperature sensation in a cape-like distribution. Brown-Séquard syndrome is caused by a hemisection of the spinal cord, often from a stab wound. corticospinal, spinothalamic, and dorsal column is key in Brown-Séquard syndrome. Brown-Séquard Syndrome: Ipsilateral paralysis and loss of touch with contralateral loss of pain and temperature. Corticospinal Tract: Two-neuron pathway controlling motor function from the cortex to the anterior horn. Dorsal Column Tract: Three-neuron pathway for touch, pressure, and proprioception that decussates at the medulla. Spinothalamic Tract: Three-neuron pathway for pain and temperature that crosses at the spinal cord level. Polio: Affects lower motor neurons causing flaccid paralysis and fasciculations. MS: Causes upper motor neuron symptoms like hyperreflexia and spastic paralysis. GBS: Causes lower motor neuron symptoms like hyporeflexia and flaccid paralysis. ALS: Combines upper and lower motor neuron deficits. BPPV: Vertigo triggered by head movement, diagnosed with Dix-Hallpike test. TX- MECLIZINE Meniere's Disease: Characterized by tinnitus, vertigo, and hearing loss. Acute Labyrinthitis: Hearing loss and vertigo following a viral infection. Syncope: Temporary loss of consciousness due to various causes including vasovagal response(PRODROME, DIAPHORESIS, HEADACHE, EMOTIONAL STRESS, INC SNS TONE, F/B STRONG PSNS) and orthostatic hypotension(VOLUME DEPLETED, SUDDEN STAND→ FAINT), AS(SYNCOPE WITH EXERTION), SEIZURE, ARRHYTHMIA(OLD , JUST FAINTED) Seizures: Differentiate complex partial seizures (postictal confusion) from absence seizures (no postictal state) Lewy Body Dementia vs. Alzheimer's Disease: Lewy Body Dementia features hallucinations before memory loss, while Alzheimer's has memory loss before hallucinations. Trigeminal Neuralgia (Tic Douloureux): Severe facial pain triggered by light touch, treated with Carbamazepine. Tabes Dorsalis: Loss of proprioception and touch due to tertiary syphilis, treated with Penicillin. SACD: B12 deficiency causing macrocytic anemia and upper motor neuron signs, treated with B12 supplementation. DORSAL AND CORTICOSPIN PROBLEM

Nice, ty!!
If sounds like fibroadenoma, but bilateral and several masses => most likely fibrocystic changes
Update: We don’t give MAC prophylaxis (Azithromycin) for CD4 count < 50 in HIV anymore. Simply treat if patient develops MAC with Azithro.
nice video sir
Most of the times he says “young girl”, I’m pretty sure he means “middle aged woman” 😂😂 Good content review though
Also antihistamine effect of low potency 1st gen antipsychotics causes increased appeptite
"might as well just burn it" sent me over the top lol much needed laugh. We appreciate the humor!🤣
38:58 Aplastic crisis vs Aplastic anaemia Aplastic crisis destruction of reticulocytes in pregnant mother leading to reduced RBC; fetal hypoxia leading to tachycardia (occurs specially in sickle cell mother by Parvovirus B19 infection) Aplastic anaemia reduced all 3 blood cell lines
FYI we don't do thyroid uptake in pregnant women - its teratogenic to the baby!
I'm always amazed how some guy with a webcam does more in 1 hour than my school has done in 2 years. US education system is busted top to bottom, y'all
Confusion + disoriented -> oxygen supplement Low urine output -> bladder scan - Lots of urine in bladder -> neurogenic bladder -> foley catheter Hernia - Direct: old age, medial to hesselbach - Indirect: congenital, lateral to epigastric artery - Femoral (female): below inguinal ligament Paralytic ileus - no bowel sound, flatus, distension, hypokalemia Wound healing - Wound dehiscence: fascial tearing (obesity) -> bind wound -> lap - Evisceration: lap - Wound infection: erythema -> open, irrigate, antibiotics Dysphagia - Dif: obstruction, Zenker diverticulum, achalasia... - first-> barium swallow - weight loss -> endoscopy - IDA -> colonoscopy Mallory weiss / Boerhavve - Tear of mucosa at the lower eso sphincter -> endoscopy - transmural perforation -> leakage -> widened mediastinum -> water-soluble contrast (most common cause: endoscopy) H. pylori: gastric cancer (PUD) and MALT lymphoma Small bowel obstruction: hernia + adhesion 2nd to surgery - Symp: nausea, vomit, distension, no flatus, constipation - Diag: abs xray - distension, air-fluid level - NPO, NG sunction -> sur Pseudomembranous colitis - C.diff, fever, leukocytosis, watery diarrhea - Stool toxin -> oral vancomycin Ulcerative colitis - toxic megacolon, PSC Anal fissure - 6 o clock position - topic nitric, Ca blocker, sitz bath Acute mesenteric ischemia - worst pain, RF like hypertension, smoking - CTA Pyogenic liver abscess - 2nd to acute ascending cholangitis (charcot triad) - CT Echinococcus: dogs, hydatid cyst on imaging Cholecystitis - cholesterol or biliary stone in the cystic duct - biliary colic (stone stuck and off) until stone stuck -> inflammation - fever, leukocytosis, murphy sign - Ultrasound -> wall thickening, fluid, gallstone; if unclear -> HIDA scan - cholecystectomy Acalculous Cholecystitis - ICU patient - treat: cholecystectomy tube Choledocholithiasis - stone stuck in the common bile duct - biliary colic without fever - ALP increase, dilated duct on US - ERCP treatment - COMPLICATION -> cholangitis Pancreatitis - If diagnosis fulfilled (pain, amylase lipase) -> US to find gallstone - COMP: pancreatic pseudocyst -> leave alone unless > 6cm -> drainage Breast cancer RF: age Abdominal aortic aneurysm - if > 5cm or >1cm per year -> treat - screening in smoking people age > 65 Aortic dissection - Widened mediastinum, tearing pain - CTA or eso echo - If renal disease -> no contrast
How did I just learn more renal physiology in 15 minutes than I did in weeks worth of renal uworld problems 🙃 you're a lifesaver Dr. High Yield 🥰
