Prolonged Arterial Occlusion Case Studies
Case 1: Inferior Q wave infarction Tap the arrow to view the case.EKG: The first 0.04 seconds of the QRS are entirely negative in leads II, III, and AVF. These are significant Q waves (Figure 15.7).Visualization: The beginning of the QRS is pointing to the left and superiorly away from the inferior wall.Critical Thinking: The […]
Development of urinary organs
Optional Reading The Developing Human: Clinically Oriented Embryology, 11th ed., Development of urinary system section through Development of suprarenal glands. The urinary and reproductive (genital) systems have several features in common and are sometimes considered together as the uro-genital system. Most shared features are developmental in nature: Both the kidneys and the gonads arise from […]
Totally Occluded Artery Worksheets
These worksheets are for self-study only. Answers will not be evaluated. Instructions and examples Instructions for Chapter 14 Worksheets Complete basic measurements. Note if ST elevation is present in two or more leads that represent a pattern in Table 14.1. Describe this as ST elevation MI (STEMI) and note the location. In addition, Rule Three […]
Totally Occluded Artery Case Studies
Case 1: Inferior STEMI: Syndrome of RCA occlusion Tap the arrow to view the case.EKG: The ST segment is positive in leads III and AVF (Figure 14.10).Visualization: The ST is pointing to the patient’s right side, which is toward the inferior wall (Figure 14.11).Critical Thinking: Since the ST segment is pointing toward the inferior wall […]

In this material Self-study learning goals Define and Identify the following: Start of the QRS. Normal direction of the start of the QRS. Define and identify an abnormal Q wave. Define and identify an abnormal Q wave equivalent. Describe an approach to the timing of Q waves as acute, recent, or old. Define and identify […]
14. Totally Occluded Artery: ST Elevation MI
In this material Self-study learning goals Define and identify the following: Normal ST segment. Normal ST segment amplitude. Define the two EKG criteria for abnormal ST segment elevation. List four clinical causes of ST elevation. Describe the expected EKG changes in ST elevation MI (STEMI). Describe the pathophysiology of STEMI. Define the Third Rule of […]

Endocrine System
Welcome to the Endocrine System! This is the first system you’ll study in your second year, and it plays a foundational role in setting the stage for what comes next. The endocrine system regulates nearly every aspect of human physiology—from growth and metabolism to stress responses, reproduction, and homeostasis. As such, it provides a critical […]
Urinary organs of the retroperitoneum and pelvis
Optional Reading Clinically Oriented Anatomy, 8th ed., Diaphragm section through Clinical box: Diaphragm, kidneys, ureters, and suprarenal glands section through Clinical box: Kidneys, ureters, and suprarenal glands. Would a review be helpful? Kidneys Receive ~20% of cardiac output, and is in a key position for regulating blood pressure, the composition of body fluids, and acid-base […]
