This short instructional clip demonstrates collection technique for a Pap test. The narration explains how to rotate the brush against the transformation zone, rinse it at once in the ThinPrep solution to release the cells, and seat the broom device so its bristles sample the canal and ectocervix. It is a practical guide for cervical screening technique.
A digital rectal examination (DRE) is a simple procedure doctors use to examine the lower rectum and other internal organs. A DRE is done for a number of reasons. It's a quick, easy way to check the health of a man's prostate gland. It can detect conditions like an enlarged prostate
Male urethral catheterization is demonstrated here using sterile technique, showing how a urinary catheter is passed into the bladder. The video is a procedure-skills resource for medical students, nurses, and clinicians. Procedure education only — not personal medical advice.
This short clinical video demonstrates the repair of an episiotomy, the surgical incision sometimes made during vaginal delivery to enlarge the birth outlet. The suturing is shown step by step as it is performed after childbirth. It is a practical obstetric-skills resource for midwives, nurses, and medical students. Educational only — not medical advice.
Perineal repair after episiotomy or spontaneous obstetric laceration is one of the most common surgical procedures. Potential sequelae of obstetric perineal lacerations include chronic perineal pain,1 dyspareunia,2 and urinary and fecal incontinence.3–5 Few studies of laceration repair techniques exist to support the development of an evidence-based approach to perineal repair. This article discusses a repair method that emphasizes anatomic detail, with the expectation that an anatomically correct perineal repair may result in a better long-term functional outcome.
Despite the word Childbirth in its title, this short explainer is about pregnancy tests. A labour and delivery nurse describes the two kinds of test — a blood test at a doctor's office, which she explains can detect the pregnancy hormone earlier, and a home urine test taken after a missed period. It is a brief patient-information video.
A short news report summarises research on preferred breast shape. The study surveyed more than 1,300 men, women and plastic surgeons, who favoured a natural shape over a rounded artificial look, with the aim of informing implant choice and reconstruction. It is shared as a news summary of the published findings.
This clinical video presents the surgical management of an ectopic pregnancy — a pregnancy developing outside the uterus, most often in a fallopian tube — a condition that requires urgent treatment. Shared for medical education. Educational only — not medical advice.
Silent footage shows injections into the bladder and prostate, identified in the video's notes as Botox injections. The recording presents the injection procedure in a clinical setting without narration. It is shared for education in urology procedures. The recording runs about two minutes in total.
This video demonstrates the physical examination of the abdomen, one of the core assessments in clinical practice. The examination follows the standard sequence of inspection, palpation, percussion, and auscultation of the abdomen. These skills are taught to every medical and nursing student.
Identify the anatomy and explain the physiology of the breast on diagrams and sonograms.
Describe and demonstrate the protocol for sonographic scanning of the breast, including the clock and quadrant methods, and targeted examinations based on mammographic findings.
Describe the various diagnostic pathways that may lead to a sonographic breast examination, and explain how the ultrasound findings are correlated with other imaging modalities.
Identify and describe sonographic images of benign and malignant features and common breast pathologies.
Explain biopsy techniques for breast tumors.
Define and use related medical terminology.
Explain the Patient Privacy Rule (HIPAA) and Patient Safety Act (see reference
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.
Thyroid nodules increase with age and are present in almost 10% of the adult population. Autopsy studies reveal the presence of thyroid nodules in 50% of the population, so they are fairly common. 95% of solitary thyroid nodules are benign, and therefore, only 5% of thyroid nodules are malignant.
