Inspection, auscultation, percussion, palpation — this educational video demonstrates the complete abdominal examination in the order clinicians perform it. It is a core clinical-skills resource for medical students learning physical examination. Educational only — not medical advice.
During the examination, the doctor gently puts a lubricated, gloved finger of one hand into the rectum. He or she may use the other hand to press on the lower belly or pelvic area. A digital rectal exam is done for men as part of a complete physical examination to check the prostate gland .
This childbirth video shows a water birth, in which labor and delivery take place in a tub of warm water. The recording presents the delivery as an educational record of this method of giving birth, which some mothers choose for comfort and relaxation during labor. Water birth is offered in many midwifery-led units.
This urology video demonstrates Foley catheter insertion in both male and female patients. The recording shows the sterile technique used to place an indwelling urinary catheter, a routine procedure in hospital, surgical, and nursing care. Urinary catheters drain the bladder when a patient cannot pass urine normally.
How sperm are formed and the pathway they travel during ejaculation are explained in this educational physiology video, covering the testes, epididymis, and associated structures. It is a study resource for students of reproductive biology. Educational only — not medical advice.
A vitamin B12 injection is demonstrated in this brief nursing skills video. The recording shows the intramuscular injection technique used to administer the vitamin in a clinical setting. It is a training example for nursing students learning standard intramuscular injection procedures.
At one time, women who had delivered by cesarean section in the past would usually have another cesarean section for any future pregnancies. The rationale was that if allowed to labor, many of these women with a scar in their uterus would rupture the uterus along the weakness of the old scar. Over time, a number of observations have become apparent: Most women with a previous cesarean section can labor and deliver vaginally without rupturing their uterus. Some women who try this will, in fact, rupture their uterus. When the uterus ruptures, the rupture may have consequences ranging from near trivial to disastrous. It can be very difficult to diagnose a uterine rupture prior to observing fetal effects (eg, bradycardia). Once fetal effects are demonstrated, even a very fast reaction and nearly immediate delivery may not lead to a good outcome. The more cesarean sections the patient has, the greater the risk of subsequent rupture during labor. The greatest risk occurs following a “classical” cesarean section (in which the uterine incision extends up into the fundus.) The least risk of rupture is among women who had a low cervical transverse incision. Low vertical incisions probably increase the risk of rupture some, but usually not as much as a classical incision. Many studies have found the use of oxytocin to be associated with an increased risk of rupture, either because of the oxytocin itself, or perhaps because of the clinical circumstances under which it would be contemplated. Pain medication, including epidural anesthetic, has not resulted greater adverse outcome because of the theoretical risk of decreasing the attendant’s ability to detect rupture early. The greatest risk of rupture occurs during labor, but some of the ruptures occur prior to the onset of labor. This is particularly true of the classical incisions. Overall successful vaginal delivery rates following previous cesarean section are in the neighborhood of 70 This means that about 30of women undergoing a vaginal trial of labor will end up requiring a cesarean section. Those who undergo cesarean section (failed VBAC) after a lengthy labor will frequently have a longer recovery and greater risk of infection than had they undergone a scheduled cesarean section without labor. Women whose first cesarean was for failure to progress in labor are only somewhat less likely to be succesful in their quest for a VBAC than those with presumably non-recurring reasons for cesarean section. For these reasons, women with a prior cesarean section are counseled about their options for delivery with a subsequent pregnancy: Repeat Cesarean Section, or Vaginal Trial of Labor. They are usually advised of the approximate 70successful VBAC rate (modified for individual risk factors). They are counseled about the risk of uterine rupture (approximately 1in most series), and that while the majority of those ruptures do not lead to bad outcome, some of them do, including fetal brain damage and death, and maternal loss of future childbearing. They are advised of the usual surgical risks of infection, bleeding, anesthesia complications and surgical injury to adjacent structures. After counseling, many obstetricians leave the decision for a repeat cesarean or VBAC to the patient. Both approaches have risks and benefits, but they are different risks and different benefits. Fortunately, most repeat cesarean sections and most vaginal trials of labor go well, without any serious complications. For those choosing a trial of labor, close monitoring of mother and baby, with early detection of labor abnormalities and preparation for
A silent 3D animation shows how the pelvic bones and the baby's head adapt during childbirth. The sequence illustrates the movements that allow delivery to progress. It is a visual study aid for students of obstetrics and midwifery. No narration accompanies the animation, so the movement itself carries the explanation, and the clip runs just over a minute.
Part 2 of this educational video shows the dilatation and curettage (D&C) procedure, a gynecological operation used to sample or clear the uterine lining. It demonstrates the instruments and steps involved for clinicians and students. Procedure education only — not personal medical advice.
Male urethral catheterization with a Foley catheter is demonstrated in this educational video, using sterile technique from preparation through placement. It is a practical clinical-skills resource for nursing and medical students learning urinary catheter care. Procedure education only — not personal medical advice.
Breast cancer is a malignant tumor that develops from the cells of
the breast. It is the most common type of cancer among women in
the United States. It is most often curable when found early. The
normal breast consists of three main components: the lobules
(milk-producing glands), the ducts (thin tubes that connect the
lobules to the nipple) and the stroma (fatty tissue and ligaments
surrounding the ducts and lobules, blood vessels, and lymphatic
vessels). About 80% of breast cancers start in the ducts.
This is the postmortem of a male who died of due to a blunt injury to abdomen n thus the ruptue of the spleen. there was no any scra or wond on epidermis. but the 4th rib was fractured. all the above mentioned conditions are clearly seen in this video.

Breast self-examination is explained in this short health education video for women. The presentation outlines how the breasts are inspected and palpated as part of routine self-awareness of breast changes. It is a general educational resource on breast examination technique and early detection awareness.
