Integumentary System
Your introduction to the system (it can be written, or you can record a video). It doesn’t need to be very long. In case you need inspiration, here are some suggestions for what to include: How does this system relate to the one that has come before, and the one that follows? Why are certain threads […]
Orbital eye infections
Learning goals Describe the clinical presentation and microbiology of common etiologies for blepharitis, hordeolum, conjunctivitis, and keratitis Describe the clinical findings and microbiologic origins of chorioretinitis and use clinical history and examination findings to differentiate microbiologic causes Compare and contrast periorbital and orbital cellulitis, including anatomic location, etiology, and potential complications Required pre-class materials Click […]
Meningitis and encephalitis
Learning goals Describe the epidemiology and risk factors for meningitis and list the primary pathogens that lead to meningitis, based on age groups Compare and contrast the clinical manifestations of encephalitis, acute bacterial meningitis, aseptic meningitis, and chronic meningitis and use cerebrospinal fluid findings to differentiate various microbial etiologies Describe the microbiologic features (classification, structures, […]

Malignancies of the urinary system
Crystalopathies and mimickers
Case study 1: Maksym Tap the arrow to view the case.Maksym, a 12-year-old boy with newly diagnosed high-grade B-cell lymphoma, is evaluated for severe nausea, colicky abdominal pain, and tea-colored urine that began overnight. He started combination chemotherapy 48 hours ago.Physical examination shows mild flank tenderness bilaterally. Laboratory studies reveal elevated creatinine and hyperuricemia. Urinalysis […]
Neuroanatomy lab knowledge checks
Station 1. Meninges and ventricles Ventricles Interactive 1 On a mid-sagittal image, label the parts of ventricular systems highlighted in blue: 3rd ventricle 4th ventricle cerebral aqueduct lateral ventricle (Tap to open; use your Apple Pencil to draw) Labeled image Interactive 2 What do each of the yellow lines indicate on this T2-grayscale inverted […]
Neuroanatomy lab introduction
Neuroanatomy provides the essential framework for understanding the principles of neurology. This lab is designed to help you build that foundation through hands-on exploration and clinical application. Key focus areas Topographic anatomy Ventricular system, cerebrum, diencephalon, brain stem, and cerebellum Three-dimensional relationships Ventricular system and its connections to cerebral and brain stem structures Clinical imaging […]
Station 1. Meninges and ventricles
Neuroanatomy lab navigation Identify the parts of the ventricular system on a mid-sagittal brain, coronal sections, and model. The formation of the ventricular system, as it relates to development, was discussed in the Neuroembryology session. Review the clinical significance of the flow and blockage of CSF For further reference Figure 1. Figure 2. Lateral ventricles […]
Station 5. Blood supply and circulation
Neuroanatomy lab navigation Arterial blood supply Review and identify the arterial supply. Vertebral arteries supplying the brainstem and cerebellum Anterior and posterior spinal Posterior inferior cerebellar Basilar (unpaired)—multiple pontine branches also come directly off the basilar artery Anterior inferior cerebellar Superior cerebellar Posterior cerebral Posterior communicating Internal carotid supplying the midbrain, thalamus, hypothalamus, and cerebrum […]
