Ultrasound-guided insertion of an internal jugular vein catheter is demonstrated in this clinical skills video. The narration covers patient positioning, the ultrasound survey of the vein and carotid artery, and needle insertion. It is a training resource for central line placement.
An appendectomy (sometimes called appendisectomy or appendicectomy) is the surgical removal of the vermiform appendix. This procedure is normally performed as an emergency procedure, when the patient is suffering from acute appendicitis.
Transgender Man Gives Birth to Healthy Baby, Talks Navigating Pregnancy as a Man Trystan Reese is a transgender man who just gave birth to a healthy baby boy. He told us about his pregnancy—and why his story isn't so out of the ordinary.
This cardiology video compares atrial fibrillation and atrial flutter, two common disorders of the heart's rhythm. The recording explains how the two conditions differ in the heart's electrical activity and in the patterns they produce on monitoring. Both conditions are frequently encountered in cardiology practice.
Laparoscopy seems to offer a safe and reliable diagnostic and therapeutic option to patients with impalpable testes. Intra-abdominal dissection allows more testes to be brought down to the scrotum. The procedure is best viewed as laparoscopy-assisted, as Orchidopexy has to be done in a conventional manner.
ECG interpretation gets a memorable twist in this teaching video, which uses dance movements to represent the waveforms of the electrocardiogram. It is a light-hearted study aid for remembering how electrical activity in the heart appears on a tracing. For students of cardiology. Educational only — not medical advice.
Cervical cerclage can be placed via transvaginal, open transabdominal, or laparoscopic transabdominal approach, preferably before pregnancy. Recurrent late miscarriages may be due to a weak (sometimes called an incompetent) cervix that shortens or opens too early in pregnancy. Cervical cerclage involves placing a stitch around the upper part of the cervix to keep it closed; the operation may be carried out through the vagina, or through the abdomen, as an open or laparoscopic ('keyhole') procedure.
A teaching case shows an endotracheal tube placed in the esophagus during surgery and recognized at once. The narration explains why the tube is left in place temporarily until the airway is secured. It is used for education in anesthesia and airway management. The case is presented as it unfolded in the operating room.
While an anal abscess is an infection within one or more of the anal spaces, an anal fistula (Choice B) is a tunneling between the anus or rectum and another epithelial lined space (eg, the skin overlying the drainage site). Fifty percent of patients with anal abscesses will go on to develop a chronic fistula from the involved anal gland to the overlying skin. Patients with fistulas typically present with an anal abscess that persists after incision and drainage, or with a pustule-like lesion in the perianal or ischiorectal area that continually drains. Surgical repair is usually necessary to eliminate the fistula while preserving fecal continence.
Spermicide is a birth control method that contains chemicals that stop sperm from moving. Spermicides are available in different forms, including creams, film, foams, gels, and suppositories. Spermicide can be used alone, or it can be used with other birth control methods to make them more effective. It is always used with the diaphragm and cervical cap.
Plantar warts are hard, grainy growths that usually appear on the heels or balls of your feet, areas that feel the most pressure. This pressure also may cause plantar warts to grow inward beneath a hard, thick layer of skin (callus). Plantar warts are caused by the human papillomavirus (HPV). The virus enters your body through tiny cuts, breaks or other weak spots on the bottom of your feet. Most plantar warts aren't a serious health concern and may not require treatment. But plantar warts can cause discomfort or pain. If self-care treatments for plantar warts don't work, you may want to see your doctor to have them removed.
Working slice by slice, this lecture reviews a CT scan of the abdomen. The narrator names organs and vessels at each level and highlights an incidental large clot in the superior mesenteric vein, before coronal reconstructions close the study. It is an anatomy-focused teaching resource in Radiology.
3D scans show still pictures of your baby in three dimensions. 4D scans show moving 3D images of your baby, with time being the fourth dimension. It's natural to be really excited by the prospect of your first scan. But some mums find the standard 2D scans disappointing when all they see is a grey, blurry outline.
An infected finger abscess is treated here with incision and drainage, a common minor surgical procedure. The recording shows the area being opened so the infection can drain, after local anesthesia is applied to the finger. The material is intended for clinical skills training in hand and soft tissue care.
