Identifying carotid artery disease with ultrasound
Learn how to recognize pathology in the carotid arteries using ultrasound.
Distinguishing the internal carotid artery (ICA) from the external carotid artery (ECA) with ultrasound
In this video, you'll learn how to tell ICA and ECA apart using ultrasound and the special test you can use when they seem identical on ultrasaound.
Scanning the extracranial arteries with ultrasound
In this Medmastery lesson, we will go through a step-by-step protocol for performing a comprehensive examination of the extracranial arteries using different planes, approaches, and ultrasound modalities.
A review of the anatomy of extracranial arteries
In this video, from our Ultrasound Masterclass: Carotid Artery course, we'll review some essential cerebrovascular anatomy so we can learn how to perform these scans with confidence.
Staging chronic kidney disease
In this video, from our Kidney Test Essentials course, you'll learn how to accurately stage your chronic kidney disease patients and how this will affect the way you manage them.
Examining the microscopic appearance of urine sediment
Microscopic examination of the urine sediment is an essential part of the urinalysis, as it allows for confirmation and clarification of urine dipstick findings.
Estimating glomerular filtration rate (GFR)
In this video, we'll take a deep dive into how GFR is calculated, the factors affecting GFR, and when you shouldn't use the Cockcroft-Gault equation.
Measuring serum creatinine
In this video, we'll take a look at the physiology of creatinine, what we need to consider when interpreting creatinine levels, and why GFR is not always an accurate reflection of kidney function.
Preventing burnout in healthcare: taking sanity breaks
In this video, you'll learn strategies that can help you to incorporate breaks into your routine and take some time to detach from the medical world and all of its accompanying worries and stressors.
Realistic optimism: a key to burnout prevention
In this video, you'll learn to recognize the tendency to frame experiences from a pessimistic perspective and, instead, develop an optimistic (yet realistic) approach to your environment.
