Day 70: Neurology – Watch Videos

honestly, it almost looks like it was explained in the most unclear way I ever hear. on&off centers, no explanation on the laters of the retina, where did the signal send further by bipolar cells and maybe a little bit on the pathway could be nice probably a little bit more thinking need to be done here in order to makes it easier to understand

le falta un poco más de información, pero como algo general está bien.

covers the topic clearly using an example i have seen in many question banks and practice exams

clear and exactly what is needed from subfalcine herniation. continue to provide these great lectures!

exactly what needs to be understood about intracranial pressure. clear and easily understood

Thank you Doctor Wilson for your simple and understandable lecture.

Excellent review of topic, covers essential points and gives key factors of treatment

Dr Carlo Raj always makes me interested in listening to the lectures at all time. He is always Clear. thank You Dr. Raj

the way how the professor explain the topic is very easy to learn

Understanding that it is an introduction, so I would not expect a lot of details, assuming that there will be other videos that go more in depth. I like the update provided a little more information on Arnold Chiari than other lectures. I would have liked some animation to help illustrate.

Just reading from the slide not explaining anything at all. Could really use some illustrations to differentiate the different types of brain herniation.

Great summarized information in neurophysiology! Very well taught and very professional!

Excellent speaker. He makes very difficult content manageable by having nice explanations at a good, slow pace.

Clear and simple. Explained in good sequence. Thank very You.

Simple and consice lectures. Please Consider more clinical co relation.

Really great lectures, images, and humor! Love Lecturio! Thank you!

Hi Lecturio Team, Yes, I like it a lot neurophysiology by doctor Thad Wilson. Great presentation and explanation. In my view, the neurophysiology is one of the vital key of the medicine by knowing it and combining knowledge and skills with anatomy, pathophysiology and surgery you could figure out pathology in terms of when you facing patients with traumatic injury . In contrast when you seeing infected patient with contagious viruses, bacteria and fungi and so on, of course you need to immediately think about combining knowledge and skills of microbiology, pathophysiology and pharmacology and biochemistry. Yes, all courses are given so well presented. Yes . I certainly enjoyed it Lecturio as it has all components of courses which are important for every doctor who wants to excel their skills. Many thanks indeed for the course organizers, Showing on cadaver will be even better to get precise knowledge and skills.

On point, efficient and easy to comprehend. Fantastic presentation by the professor. My experience comes from an african medical school with professors who spend 2 hours explaining major concepts that I end up spending extra time trying to understand. For example, the action potential video explained the concept for me in less than 10 minutes in comparison to the 1 hour irl lecture that led me nowhere.

excellent list about the factors that increase the risk of haemorrhagic stroke. Good explanation.

neuro physiology if u mean diabetic coma,it is good I have gone thr the lecture

very good diagrams, would have liked to see an even deeper dive into ciliary muscle in relation on zonule fibers and how they are inverse to each other,

like it, though I didn't have a pre idea of neurophysiology but i found it realy easy to understand. I like the way of delivering the important messages by the professor; i.e changing his tone of voice, making it louder or... onething that I felt, was missing was Using a pointer, which I didn't know why he was not using.

Love lecturing videos! I find them very helpful as they cover the information of each topic in basic terms. I love that you can speed them up, pause them, and rewatch them for your convenience. The post video quizzes also help me stay engaged with the content I’m learning. I have noticed my grades improving after watching lecturing videos before my exams.

THE TEACHER IS EXCEPTIONALLY GOOD. I LOVE HIM WITH ALL OF MY HEART. HE IS FUNNY AND MAKES THE LECTURE INTERESTING PLEASE KEEP HIM

explaining slow and efficiently with great questions in the end

It's has really been great and productive except I had to go check Neuroanatomy because I am not yet well conversant with Neuroanatomy. I don't know how I can really grasp it! Anyway I really recommend it to anyone in love with science, particularly medical knowledge. Thanks to the team that made the lectures interesting! More importantly, thanks for the 7 days access, I could not afford to pay. I humbled and indebted by the kind hearts!

It was really Informative, well explained, enthusiastic, just great!!! Keep up the good work

It is a beat extensive especially covering the anti-seizure medications and their side effects . Touching basic principles in the therapeutics including in pregnancy

The presenter is knowledgeable about the subject and presents the topic in an easy to understand and interesting manner!

Not very clear Attending having language barrier Felt like he was reading it off and didn’t have good grasp.

I'm very grateful for these lectures, they are fascinating and short, everything we need for the exam!

very good, complete and simple to understand, i liked this lectures a lot.

I understand stroke syndromes for the first time without feeling that it was a very complex concept

Great instructor, he is extremely thorough, efficient, and gives high yield information.

Very good lectures, funny and didatic, i liked it a lot. Thanks doctor.

The speaker does not explain anything. He just names random stuff and says it is important.

Great easy to digest lectures that provide highly relevant understanding of each topic. Totally worth it!

Not clear. Not pointing at images. To many updates and glitches.

I enjoyed learning about this very much. I also liked how Dr. Carlo Raj explained everything. I am not a medical student, but I am a high school student and hope to learn a lot more about neurology

i was reading the reviews and there is a big mistake, this lecture it's a resume, it can't be your only source of information, so don't cry about it and use it with your books.

Very very easy and limpid discussion for not only medical students but also for all biological faculty students. Thank you dear sir, Thad Wilson, PhD

Clear and Concise. Very Nice. On different point, it was hard to find using search. Perhaps add the "contre" "contrecoup" "coup" but not "chicken coup" as search terms might help other others find this gold.

I had a course in neurophysiology a few years ago. This course in neurophysiology is an excellent reminder, and it is not as deep as the course I had (good thing).

Excellent clear presentation and distillation of essential principles and details in neurophysiology of multiple highly complex systems.

Dr Carlo Raj has a unique way of telling you the important stuff. Also the summary in the end of every great

The teacher seems passionate and sounds knowledgeable He teaches in an understandable manner.

Barely any information presented, very disappointing. I wish there was more explanation and more information about the treatment. A lot of things just arent getting mentioned

Lecture was excellent! very clear and simple. I enjoyed it. Thanks so much Dr Raj.

It could have been more detailed and a bit more tied in with the basic neuro.

Prof. Well done sir, you've done a great job, I'll keep watching your videos

I think it could have been better. I think that was too basic

I liked the naurophysiology course very much. Cant wait to see the results of my test

Lots of facts and information missing, goals for therapy not mentioned

I’d like too see more images incorporated in this course to allow visual learning!

I like it very much. He explained the topic easy. I love neurosurgery but in emergency there are a lot of patients with headache.

I understand the point of an "introductory" lecture, but this is well below subpar. I needed detailed explanations of the various types of Spinal Cord injuries. I looked at the other video in the "series", but this is well below that of what I expect from a clinical neurology section.

it is a good a good teacher that explain and transmit you the information using the easiest way possible i liked it very much

good coverage of all headaches, well explained, satisfied very much so

Some of Dr Raj's lectures are excellent, but this is one of the frequent examples of his strange mannerisms obstructing a clear explanation.

I like it, but I think he need to explain more about CVA and anatomical relation . Some times I find it difficult to understand the accent.

I don't want to sound unkind, but this is not good. Not enough exact facts and description of the conditions, too many unnecessary phrases that don't help me connect with Dr. Raj and what he is trying to teach me. This was a waste of my precious time.

I like that is the most precise information that you might need for solving clinical cases later in practice

I need more in depths information - maybe I’m not familiar with lectures

I watched it to reinforce and know a little bit more about stroke besides the information that I already read in books or articles, because in lecturio I got more facts that I don't find anywhere else. And I would recommend it to my friends in med school since you can watch the videos or answer the quiz before you read about some topic or after, so you feel sure about what you know.

Good enough to concisely make the key points stands out.

Really grateful my brain works well with Dr. Raj's teaching style He always drops in links to other topics & things you should be thinking about when delivering his lectures

I am able to write my exams only listening to your videos. And your Qbank is very very useful for me...

Tone, delivery, ease of comprehension for complex material - perfect. Thank you

Well explained. The failure was to be so explicit without a lot of explanation.

Lecture on this topic was clear and easy to follow. Terminology was and the appropriate to promote understanding and retention.

Provided no useful explanations on the topic and I ended up looking for information on google to understand it myself. To much joking around and too little professionalism.

Muy bueno, pausado. Buen resumen, ademas evaluación continua del aprendizaje.

seriously these series of lectures are the absolute worst. no explanation at all, no physiopathology, no images...just a pathologist who seems to be severely under qualified to teach a comprehensive clinical neurology lecture , reading a bunch of bullet points off the most lazily prepared power point presentation. seriously strating to wonder what the point of lecturio is. I do the q bank right after the lectures and literally nothing that is asked is mentioned in these lectures.

Im sorry Dr Raj, I really enjoyed your cardiology series, but the neurology is subpar to put it politely. zero detail, just a bunch of bullet points and basic stuff a first year pre-med student already knows. no detail as to the pathophysiology, treatment or any of that. If I have to go back to biochem or neuroanatomy for all that then what's the point of this series?

Lets his need top "put on a show" get in the way of explaining things. Could perhaps benefit from some diazepam before lecturing.

Very clear and concise definitions of stroke vs TIA. I appreciate that Dr. Raj underlines the importance of TIA treatment as a risk factor for a stroke.

Great explanation, easy to follow. It helped me a lot to understand how hearing works.

La traducción, no es tan buena; pero ha sido un tiempo bien invertido por su explicación.

This was a nice, comprehensive summary of main points in vision with an appropriate amount of detail. The posted response from Dr. Wilson clarifying the role of bipolar cells is much appreciated too

me dio la idea general de como enfocar el diagnostico de ACV

queria puntos claves en el diagnostico y tratamiento, ademas de una vista panoramica antes de entrar al tema a estudiarlo por completo y me ha servido demasiado. muchas gracias

Thank you, dr. Wilson! Your lecture here is very much appreciated. You made it clear the important facts and process of synapses and neurons.

This is a very good lecture for everyone, not just people studying medicine.

I've been interested in cyborg technology since first learning about it in the mid-1970's when I was a little kid. In 1988 when I began at the University of Washington I wanted to study remote-controlled people, but they didn't offer any courses in that field, although 25 years later the school published their EEG brain-to-brain interface that lets one person control the motions of another. In February 1997 while successfully debating cloning legislation with the Department of Defense, I was ordered to stand down when trying to discuss brain implants, but eventually in 2005 my paper was credited as the basis for the Wikipedia article on the subject, and on 2 April 2013, the 17th anniversary of my first sworn statement to the Seattle FBI detailing organized crimes against children at a media giant, President Obama announced funding for the BRAIN Initiative. Even Jesus said go help out at the vineyard if you want to build heaven, and folks grumbled because they just assumed it already existed as if by magic.

speaker contradicts himself several times an he not sure of what is written in slides example: in treatment of SAH he 1st mentions that watch for hypertesion hypervolumia and hemodilution then in next lecture he realized that HHH written in slides reffer to treatment strategy there are several other mistakes dont have time to elaborate also what ever is written in slides is not fully explained by speaker

not upto the mark lecturer laughing inappropriately and information not eplained properly

Very good course!!! Sometimes the accent is a little difficult to understand, but I really liked it..

This lecture helped clearing a lot of questions in my mind. Very well delivered. Thank you

I liked it very much as an introduction to CVA and to bring it all together. I watched the entire series before studying with textbooks to fill in the blanks. Carlo Raj is making sure I know what's important. If you expected to be finished with CVA after watching a few videos you will be disappointed no matter what you choose to watch.

Very nice, short and high lead video , I liked it a lot

even after the update, on and off center in not clear

DR Carlo Raj is a great educator.very nice speech, clear concept of every topic.seems like I have a good private tutor and no need of books after watching his lecture.

An excellent run through of stroke and tia that incorporates pathophysiology biochemistry clinical presentation and mx ...... great teaching thanks

I still like Dr. Raj professionalism and high yield content. Very useful

high yield and very useful. I personally like Dr. Raj (professionalism, kind of humour and teaching skills). Readily helpful for me and my preparation to Step 1

Thank you for the series of lectures, I really liked them, simple and well explained.

Great lectures, i´m satisfied with your contents. Doctor Wilson is always surprising us with his explanations.

This taught me... I was wondering one day while I was reading a Medical book, hmm what are seizures? Then I was looking all over the web found this website and went to Carlo Raj, MD for seizures this is just the beginning for me and I hope I like the rest of his videos.

Slow but comprehensive but not completely enticing. I dont think that this is sufficient for the boards.

Sometime the lecturer comes through clinical signs of patients with particular diseases and doesn't explain that sign, just introducs it to that disease. We need to know how that sign looks like when we encouter a patient so that we know how to deal with him.

great leacture by prof.Thad great work by him for the development of concepts of phisiology.

He is very clear and specific .Is important to know anatomy and pathology to understand his lecure an be able to respond thearlier questions

I like the lecture but tend to give highlights, good if concepts are explained in details and visual teaching aids included.

Very informative and concise.. with application of info on real case analysis

Horrible Lecturer. Teaching Cant be this way, unfortunately! I hope someone else takes over.

Errmmm I like his beard. It is very hairy, like me!

Not detailed enough in concepts. Mostly comprised lists of pathologies/syndromes. less emphasis on conceptual development

I think this lecture lack of details and certain points needed as introduction

I enjoyed this lecture and it is very clear and easy to understand with this good instructor.

Explanation is good but not so detailed. I think it's better to explain more and go deeper on details. Subscribe to this website. Worth it Some parts are good some are not. But in total it's great. Thank you

Great review for neurophysiology. Simplifies key elements with clear explanations

Watching these is clearer, more concise, and far more efficient than going to any of my lectures. I easily learn in 5-10 minutes of watching Dr Raj what I would struggle to pick up in an hour of lectures at medschool.

its really good but kind little short the doctor did good job specially emphasis on important parts

very clear explanation and easy to understand great examples and easy to follow

Good talk on the topic but could be improved by discussion management and when you may consider surgical evacuation vs watch and wait. Also no mention of chronic subdural haematoma.

I'm not sure if this topic will be covered in neurosurg but serious detail lacking. First of all no definition what a raised ICP is and how best to diagnose. No clear explanation of the underlying cause ie mass effect (tumour, abscess), vascular (hypoxia, hypercapnia, venous flow obstruction), hydrocephalus (obstructive vs none), pseudotumor cerebri. It would have been useful to discuss shunts in the treatment as well and when you may consider inserting them

I really enjoyed the overall topic. Good balance of detail. What I suggest for future revisions is to expand the criteria for when you would prescribe AED for example aside from 2 eps pts with focal abnormalities or underlying conditions that cannot be remedied or patients with abnormal EEGs may be started on these agents. Furthermore, impact on driving and occupation could have also been included. Finally, I would love to see a separate section focused secondary cause of seizures.

It would have been good to further discuss migraine headaches and tensions headaches. I would have like to learn more about the features of aura (incl scotomas). Moreover, a discussion on what constitutes medication overuse headache is warranted given the ease of access to OTC analgesics. Finally an opportunity has been missed to discuss if which circumstances you would consider the use of prophylactic therapies

Not sure if there will further talks on haemorrhagic stroke but significant omissions evident. For example target for BP lowering, discussion of management of complications incl vasopasm, raised ICP, seziure prevention. Work up of patient wasn't clear ie the use of lumbar punctures in high clinical suspicions but ct equivocal

I enjoyed the series on ischaemic stroke but it would have been great to discuss in more depth the secondary management of stroke in particular blood pressure targets and agents with the most supportive evidence for use (e.g ACE-I). I also note that there was an omission about the best way to manage BP in the acutely hypertensive patient post stroke. Despite theses as always good taster of the topic. I appreciate the challenge of work that goes into producing these contents

I really liked this lecture and learned a lot. He broke it down and explained things simply without being condescending, and I found his examples to be easy to remember.

The lecture was concise and to the point. Dr Carlo's Style of lecturing always provides the right amount of emphasis, and his use of anecdotes help in visualising the patient. Any Iecture by Dr. Carlo Raj Is always highly recommended.

the professor should smile a bit :) His tone is scary at times.

I didn't like the lecturer he is like screaming and shouting in my opinion

Information is too general and More review questions would be nice

the lecture was way to short. The information was very general. Please make the lectures more detailed and more interactive..maybe actual drawings being drawn as the lecturer is explaining. Also to specify on the detailed part which i mentioned, it would be much better if he explained each neurotransmitter.

The contents are very good, I wish I can share with my student easier.
