2023.04.02 20:19 AgainstMedicalAdvice Resources for medical students

Hello all!
I'm giving a talk coming up on resources for medical students to use in the Ed/while on their em rotations.
This would be things like pocket guides, up to date, wikem, MDcalc, similar things.
Wanted to ask if anybody had anything to recommend?
Much appreciated :)

2022.09.05 21:23 PlenitudeOpulence Diagnosing the hand wound

Looked like textbook dry gangrene which can be a complication of diabetes. After sufficient necrosis the limb may autoamputate.
Source: I’m a physician and that was the first thing I thought when I saw the scene. I might be wrong but it really looks like dry gangrene.

2022.08.29 01:20 Part-Time-Chemist EM: How do you study? (Worried about my program)

At a large community program. Looking for advise from any seniors on how they study. This program does not have a systematic approach to Conference/Didactics with part of that being Journel reviews that I saw during my Sub-Is.
I'm pretty shot after 12s but I try to do a few Rosh Review questions and maybe a wikem article about a patient I saw.
My seniors at this program don't appear as knowledgeable or up to date as I saw during my Sub-Is and act super cocky. I just saw their scores for the in-house exam and it's well below national average.
I am worried about my training. Would appreciate at tips.

2022.07.01 15:33 appleparkfive Is there ANY way to reverse the skin discoloration from veinous stasis in the legs?

Male, 30, 6 ft, 190 lbs
What I mean is this condition .
I know you can help with the swelling and everything, but when you have everything under control, is there any treatment that can get your skin to looking even remotely normal again? By cosmetic surgery, skin lightening cream, or whatever options.
I've seen stuff talking about reversing the swelling, but the actual coloring itself is what bothers me
If anyone has some information, I'd be so thankful! Mine isn't that bad as shown in the picture, but it's bad enough that I wouldn't run around in shorts or anything.
Any resources, or operations that are possible would be great to learn about! Thank you!

2021.10.02 05:42 SEB_THE_MINER Swat armour got nerfed, so chitin armour should be buffed

if they are balancing swat armor then they should change the chitin armor to be in the outer layer, make the chitin arm guards have the same protection values as chitin armor (why would the arm guards have less) / make the chitin armor include the arms, also they should rebalance the amount of chitin required for the chitin armor in relation to how much is obtained from butchering.
i get 3-8 chitin from a huge ant that's dog sized and i need 119 chitin for full set of armor 113 if i forgo the leg guards
72 for chitin armor (covers 90% torso and legs)
12 for helmet (90% of head, mouth and eyes)
18 for boots (95% feet)
3 for arm guards (90% arms, 9 bash and 12 cut compared to the 12 bash 16 cut of all other armor)
6 for chitin leg guards (80% legs)
8 for gauntlets (95% hand)
first off the arm guards should have the protection values changed to match the rest of the other armor values,
second the chitin required for the chitin armor is absurd, the legs would cost ( 80%/90% = 0.8888889 6/0.8888889 = 6.75) 7 chitin while the torso would require (72 - 7 = 65) compared to the 48 required to cover the rest of the body, sure the torso is bigger that the limbs and head but we are looking at surface area here and the torso only covers about 36% of the body surface area, legs + feet is 36, arms + hands is 18 and head, face, mouth is 10%
https://www.wikem.org/wiki/Estimating_body_surface_area
in this case the armor ratios should be drastically changed with the chitin armor being reduced to 36, arm guards raised to 5, leg guards 14, helmet 5, gauntlets 2, boots 3, or the values higher or lower in the ratio above to reflect the the surface area ratio of the body
if the cost for the chitin set is raised the the amount of chitin i get from athropods should be reflected in their size (the man sized razorclaw should give me at least enough for th chitin armour if i use a butchering kit, while the dog sized huge ants should give enough for head, arms and hands)

2019.11.21 05:17 originalhoopsta Radiology in Medical School V3 [Deck Update]

Hi guys and gals!

tl;dr: Hoop's Radiology [V3] is updated anew with ~250+ brand new cards on x-ray, MRI, and radiation dosages, plus a few edits and some tagging.

Total expected card count: 1,887 cards. It updates seamlessly!

Abstract:

There is no consensus on an Anki deck to teach basic radiology systematically to medical students, although many textbooks, video series, and online resources exist. Therefore, several medical students and a physician have teamed up to update the overhaul to Hoop's Radiology deck that covers the most high-yield radiology content relevant to new physicians and students. Read on.

Introduction:

This Anki deck teaches you how to systematically read and present an x-ray/CT, discusses general MRI and ultrasound basics, and is useful for OSCE style assessments often used in UK medical schools. It's also helpful prior to clinical rotations in emergency medicine or radiology. However, none of this material is high yield for the USMLE or COMLEX.

Methods:

The authors used multiple open-source websites to ensure these Anki cards cover the most important content. A new card structure shows the PLAIN IMAGE in the question that is replaced with an ANNOTATED version in the answer.
Here are some images as an example: Card 1 sample Card 2 sample Card 3 sample

Also, answers include annotations and 'side-by-side' comparison of the images. The authors agreed to get rid of the PEPPER STYLE cards from the first version of the radiology deck. It is fully tagged and organized into subdecks that are listed by increasing difficulty.

Literature cited:

Radiopaedia, RadiologyMasterClass, StartRadiology, TeachMeChest, WikiEM, and Wikipedia.

Results:

This updated deck now contains 1,887 cards. Of that, about 1,300 are new and all were edited to be more concise and effective. In the deck, there are now about 400 cards on ultrasound and about 100 on MRI. It can be safely downloaded without deleting the previous version.

Discussion:

The emphasis that medical schools place on radiology is variable and not widely tested by the USMLE or COMLEX. Perhaps students using Anki for board preparation should also have access to materials that prepare them for clinical tasks after graduation. While it is potentially risky to "teach" clinical skills through any means that is open-source, it is not likely that patient harm will occur in an appropriately supervised situation. On the contrary, it may lead to faster learning. The “forward effect” is a process through which new information presented after conducting retrieval practice is more effectively consolidated into long-term memory. (Read more here). Retrieval practice promotes knowledge acquisition that can be applied in novel contexts, (per this paper). Therefore, it is fair to expect improved skill acquisition in residency with prior knowledge of radiology from medical school.

Conclusion:

The authors believe this is now a full intro to general radiology that will insulate most students from embarrassingly inadequate radiology knowledge on the wards.

Acknowledgments:

The authors of this Anki deck wish to thank the community of medicalschoolanki for revolutionizing education in medical school, as well as Radiopaedia and RadiologyMasterClass because they are tremendously thorough and easy to navigate, and have free access. Further, StartRadiology is an open-source website that gives a great overview of radiology at the level of starting residency. The authors agree that TeachMeChest is remarkably good and worth the cost.

Any questions? Several peeps have been hard at work on this deck since it was released last week (giving some good advice, edits, and critiques). Thank you!

2019.10.31 21:01 originalhoopsta Anki Radiology in PA School [New Anki Deck]

Abstract:

There is no official consensus on an Anki deck to teach basic radiology systematically to PA students. Medical students would benefit from such a resource, also. Therefore, several medical students and a physician have teamed up to create this Anki deck that systematically covers the most high-yield radiology content. It is discussed below.

Introduction:

This Anki deck teaches you how to systematically read and present an x-ray/CT. It covers general MRI and ultrasound basics. This is useful for OSCE style assessments often used in UK medical schools. It's also helpful prior to clinical rotations in emergency medicine or radiology. However, none of this material is high yield for the PANCE or USMLE exams.

Methods:

The authors used multiple open-source websites to ensure these Anki cards cover the most important content. Multiple resources ensures cards are accurate, and consistent. The deck utilizes a new card structure that replaces the ORIGINAL IMAGE used in the question with the same image but as an ANNOTATED version. Here are some images as an example: Card 1 sample Figure 1. Card 2 sample Figure 2. Card 3 sample Figure 3. Also, answers include annotations and 'side-by-side' comparison of the images. The authors agreed to get rid of the PEPPER STYLE cards from the first version of the radiology deck.

Literature cited:

Radiopaedia, RadiologyMasterClass, StartRadiology, TeachMeChest, WikiEM, and Wikipedia.

Organization:

Here is how the deck is tagged/arranged into subdecks.

Results:

This updated deck now contains about 1,700 cards. Of that, about 1,300 are new. Further, almost all were edited to be more concise and effective. In the deck, there are now about 400 cards on ultrasound and about 100 on MRI.

Discussion:

The emphasis that medical schools place on radiology is variable and not widely tested by PANCE, USMLE or COMLEX. Perhaps students using Anki for board preparation should also have access to materials that prepare them for clinical tasks after graduation. The “forward effect” is a process through which new information presented after conducting retrieval practice is more effectively consolidated into long-term memory. Read more here. Retrieval practice promotes knowledge acquisition that can be applied in novel contexts, per this paper. Therefore, it is fair to expect improved skill acquisition in residency with prior knowledge of radiology from medical school.
It is potentially risky to "teach" clinical skills through any spaced repetition software, such as Anki, that is open-source. The concern is that errata could lead to patient harm. However, the authors agree it is not likely that this will occur in an appropriately supervised situation. For those medical students that save time and energy learning from Anki, it may increase student wellbeing more effectively than anything else.

Conclusion:

The authors believe this is now a full intro to general radiology that will insulate most students from embarrassingly inadequate radiology knowledge on the wards.

Acknowledgments:

The authors of this Anki deck wish to thank Radiopaedia and RadiologyMasterClass because they are tremendously thorough and easy to navigate, and have free access. Further, StartRadiology is an open-source website that gives a great overview and has a free option. The authors agree that TeachMeChest is remarkably good and worth the cost.

Thanks for reading and letting me be goofy! Hope it helps

Updated Post on Serotonin Syndrome and Serotonin Toxicity which includes Images and References
Introduction:
(Index / Contents of this post can be found below)
Serotonin = 5HT
Serotonin Transporter = SERT / 5HTT
Hi all!
I wanted to share with you some important information on Serotonin Syndrome / Serotonin Toxicity. Further down this post you will find multiple pictures (see bullet points below) and a few (Free) Reference-Articles on the topic, along with a Case Report that was published which displays how diagnosis of Serotonin Syndrome can be tricky (end of post).
I hope you'll enjoy this post, lets dive headfirst into serotonin shall we?

So...
Contents:
  1. Serotonin (5HT), the Serotonin Transporter (SERT / 5HTT) and the synthesis of 5HT from Tryptophan. Also includes an image displaying the physiological life-cycle of serotonin in the synapses.
  2. Symptoms often seen in Serotonin Syndrome
  3. The Hunter-Criteria to aid in diagnosing Serotonin Syndrome
  4. Classification on the severity of Serotonin Syndrome in a patient (and medical management)
  5. Pharmacology: Drugs that increase the likelihood of Serotonin Syndrome (pharmacokinetics / pharmacodynamics)
  6. Drug-Combinations known to increase risk of developing Serotonin Syndrome
  7. Differential diagnosis for Serotonin Syndrome (syndromes that mimic it / show similar symptoms)
  8. (Free) Articles for further reading for those interested in the topic

1) Serotonin (5HT), the Serotonin Transporter (SERT / 5HTT) and the synthesis of 5HT from Tryptophan

NOTE: Before reading, please take note of the fact that Serotonin Syndrome might show a completely different presentation between individuals. Also, there are some other conditions (I'll get into those further down this post) that mimic the symptoms of Serotonin Syndrome. It is, therefore, no surprise that the condition is often misdiagnosed or with a delay before the right diagnosis is made. I included a case-report publication that I found very interesting, and which also displays very clearly how Serotonin Syndrome can be misleading at the bottom of this post.

2019.07.27 13:24 woistmeinehose Resource List

Hello everyone, I want to share some online resources that I personally found useful during PA school. The vast majority of these are free and the ones that are not are usually very cheap. This list is obviously not inclusive of every resource available on the internet but it includes the things that I found most helpful. Unfortunately I don't have any apple/iphone suggestions as I do not use them.

WINDOWS UTILITIES

Flashpaste

http://flashpaste.com/ Free trial, $20 This is a text expander. You can set up keyword shortcuts and templates that are very useful for writing SOAP notes. You can load a whole template for SOAP notes, or procedure notes or physical exams, etc and tie them to keywords.
For example, when I type “.soap” the following text gets pasted into whatever program I’m using:
------- Note was created Tuesday, July 23, 2019 7:50:32 AM ------- Case link: Age: Sex: Reason for presentation:

Then I just edit the note as needed. It allows for a great deal of customization including text macros to input date, time, etc.

Video Speed Manager (Chrome extension)

https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/video-speed-managefkopaaikpmfhpmoobnmklgmcgmhgfkcd?hl=en-US Very useful if your program requires you to complete the 24 hours of videos for the MAT certification. This extension allows you to play the videos at double speed (or 1.5x, etc).

4K Video Downloader

https://www.4kdownload.com/ Free with limitations, paid full version. This program allows you to download YouTube videos/playlists as video or audio files. Very useful to download media for those long commutes to clinicals.

2019.07.10 12:41 -CultriX- The opioid crisis: Some information on Fentanyl (-analogs) and NSO's (Novel Synthetic Opioids)

The opioid crisis: Some information on Fentanyl (-analogs) and NSO's (Novel Synthetic Opioids)
Hi all,
As some/most of you might already know, the opioid crisis in the US is still very much an ongoing struggle, as is demonstrated by the graph below.
Note how the amount of fatal Heroin overdoses has barely moved over the years (blue line), while the total amount of fatal opioids overdoses has seen a significant increase (black line), and that this can be mainly contributed to the rise in synthetic opioids (brown line):

I wanted to share some interesting resources on the subject, ranging from newsreports and epidemiology to clinical reviews on the (pre-hospital) management of an opioid-overdosis. At the bottom of the page you will find the pocket-sized instructional for Narcan Autoinjection (both for intranasal and intramuscular administration)

Easy-to-read:
Link 1: National Institute on Drug Abuse (Opioids) <-- Good basic information and statistics
Link 2: Centers for Disease Control and Prevention - Opioid Overdose <-- Information for the public
Link 3: CNN - Opioid Crisis Fast Facts <-- Fast overview of the current opioid-crisis
Link 4: CNN - America's Opioid Epidemic <-- CNN Special Page on the Opioid-Crisis

More in-depth:
Summary / Public Health
Link 5: Fentanyl (-analogs) and NSO's: A Comprehensive Review
Link 6: Abuse of Fentanyl: An Emerging Problem to Face
Link 7: Illicit Use of NSO's: A New Challenge to Public Health

Acute Intoxications
Link 8: Acute Intoxications and Fatalities from Fentanyl (and analogues)
Link 9: Comparison of Naloxone Effectiveness With Different Devices
Link 10: WikEM - Guidelines on Acute Opioid Toxicity

2019.03.05 22:48 the_magic_gardener [PSA] How to access research articles and clinical info

I wanted to provide a couple reading resources for the community. First off is academic research articles. Typically for research articles I either use google scholar or pubmed. Pubmed returns less results, but is less likely to include non-scholarly articles. It also is less likely to return chemical syntheses and other non-medically relevant studies.
https://scholar.google.com/
https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/
Quick tips for optimizing searches: AND between keywords will require results to include both keywords. If you're getting undesired results for a search then add NOT term to get rid of results with those terms (e.g. looking up nolvadex but getting a lot of breast cancer articles, add NOT cancer). If you are getting results that aren't including the word you want, put the term in quotations.
Most articles are not open access. To read them, copy the URL of the article, go to sci-hub (link below), and paste.
https://sci-hub.tw/
As for secondary resources that provide more cleaned up information, here is an emergency medicine quick reference guide that I like, as well as a workaround link for UpToDate.
https://wikem.org/wiki/Main_Page
https://uptoday.tk/
Wikem is good for quick, general medical questions. What could this elevated blood value mean? Wondering if that painful urination is an STI? Etc. UpToDate provides substantially more thorough information. Start at UTD if the topic isn't general, can't find it on Wikem, or if you want more information. Wikem is good for searching a single symptom. For either, it is helpful to know the medical terminology to use as your search terms. Using the above as an example, googling "medical term burning with urination" brings up "dysuria", search "dysuria" in Wikem where you find out that in <50 y/o men it typically means you have an STI. For more details you search "dysuria men" in UTD and then you find an article on how a physician would approach the case, tests they would run, and research articles justifying the standard of care. Another example, your bloods have elevated HCT, learn its called "polycythemia", UTD has article on the diagnostic approach to polycythemia, they recommend you stop using gear (lol) and conservative phlebotomy if you are symptomatic. None of this is to take the place of an actual doctor (and please don't drain your blood at home, donate!), but it helps to know the standard of care and will hopefully clue you in to what they are looking for when you see them.
Stay safe, stay informed!

2018.12.01 18:34 Fatihhhvisualsnow Evidince of recovery from visual snow after methanol intoxication!

In literarure there is evidince of cure of (acute) visual snow! The sources below authors talk about methanol intoxications and recovery of ''snowfield vision'', ''snowstorm vision'', or ''snowy vision''. Probably the writers do not know about visual snow syndrome.
https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/21370946 http://europepmc.org/backend/ptpmcrender.fcgi… https://books.google.nl/books… https://wikem.org/wiki/Methanol_toxicity http://europepmc.org/backend/ptpmcrender.fcgi…
''Acidosis'', ''respiratory'' and ''bicarbonate'' are the words I see continiously in these articles. I am not a doctor, but maybe we visual snow sufferers have chronic acidosis...? That is a imbalance of acid and alkalinity.
Are visual snow researchers aware of these articles?

Nancy Carolines Emergency Care - WHO hasn't heard about this book at some point in their schooling/career. Frequently referred to as the "Mother of Paramedics". Good book, easy to understand and pretty basic overall, will need supplement material for some topics.
Tintinalli's - found a PDF of this book online and it is GREAT, caters to a more "advanced" person, however still an appropriate textbook for paramedics who want to learn more than what Nancy Caroline all taught us ;)
James & Bartlett EMT-B book 2011 ed - 40 Chapter powerpoints from the James & Bartlett EMT-B book 2011 ed. Good study tool for new students and for the refresher.
Another couple I've heard great things about are Rosen's Emergency Medicine and Goldfrank's Toxicologic Emergencies, although I have no experience with them.
Hope this helps fellow EMTs and Paramedics (and students :P)
