Recorded Tutorials

We run through those pesky blood abnormalities, looking at changes in sodium potassium and calcium. We talk about a system for reviewing whether these changes are significant, or whether we can ignore them!  

Starting from the top... How is fat digested, absorbed, and utilised? What forms does it take? Why don't dogs have strokes and heart attacks associated with their high cholesterol? Why is hyperlipidaemia a problem then?  

Where does protein come from? Where does it go? What processes might cause alterations in serum and plasma proteins? We run through some biochem examples and use them as a basis to discuss protein physiology and pathology. We also touch on derangements in glucose, and in particular the guidelines on diagnosing diabetes https://www.esve.org/alive/search.aspx. Last but not least... detecting early renal injury!  

Weird CBC results? When to ignore, when to look further, and when to get really, really worried...
 

Today's practice exam is a little less formal than the last. We run through some exam technique tips thanks to seasoned examiner Dr Geoff Gibbons. We do some radiographic interpretation, ECG discussion with arts and crafts on Zoom whiteboard, and bit of genitourinary case discussion. 

Today is preparation for the membership oral exam. We run through 3.5 (we ran out of time!) practice questions, giving everyone a chance to have a go at answering. Please thank everyone who participated and consented to be recorded, its not easy putting yourself on the spot in front of YouTube!  

 Today's tutorial is designed to test you... We run through practice questions regarding PU/PD and disorders of micturition to keep our attendees on their toes! We also cover a fair bit of renal physiology, because we're medicine vets and we can't help it! 

Today we take a case base approach to Malena, constipation and haematochezia. This is a meandering discussion, but so many gems here! 

This is an internal tutorial Anna gave the Vet's North sonographers. We run through the different types of heart disease we see commonly, and what echo changes you might expect to see. We have recently reviewed the standard views that we take during our echos, and run through the reasons we get these views here!  

Memberships approaching! We get more case and question based as we talk about all the gastrointestinal symptoms. Review some radiographs, blood results, and mechanism of actions of antiemetic medications.  

Today we talk about a real - life patient with retropharyngeal disease, and use this as a model to discuss causes and mechanisms of Ptyalism, gagging, and dysphagia. Thanks to Natalia for bringing the case material! 

What is mentation? What parts of the brain determine level of mentation? Which parts of the neuro and physical exam help you localise stupor and coma? And how do we classify seizures? What causes them, and how can they look? All these questions and more answered in this tutorial!
