Leukemia || USMLE

My goal is to reduce educational disparities by making education FREE.
These videos help you score extra points on medical school exams (USMLE, COMLEX, etc.)

Some videos contain mild profanity and hyperbole solely used to assist with memorization. Viewer discretion advised.

A mnemonic for acute leukaemia ages:
ALL - adults Least likely ~ children (10 yrs)
AML - adults Most likely (50 yrs)

[ahmadmajzoub]

One helpful mnemonics is
ALL= aCute Little Leukemics
AML= Aged Men Leukemia (walking with a cane ~Auer rods)
CML= Phillidelphia CreaMcheese
CLL= Crushed Little Lymphocytes (Smudge cells)

[davidemarchese]

Note: BCR-ABL1 is the same as Philadelphia chromosome

[xenmas]

You could say the defining characteristic of CLL would be the "smudge cells" possibly, but other than that this video is spot on!

[drgrahamsigalet]

Couple of helpful add ons
ALL= all little leaguers (young age)
CML= city of manly love (philadelphia chromosome)

Andddd this is heading directly to my anki deck. Love your videos. I find them to be extremely useful for very high yield topics. Gives just the minimal amount of information necessary to get the question right, and in the end thats kinda all that matters. I think some people psych themselves out on Step questions. Most of the questions are really very simple if you know little tips and stuff like this. You don't have to know every detail about everything. Just recognize patterns and key findings and you'll get a lot of questions right.

AML
(A)uer rods
(M)yeloperoxidase positive, Myeloblasts increased
(L)eukostasis leading to capillary occlusion and end organ damage

I just discovered this video, I'm not even doing a test or anything but... this was really clear. I appreciate videos that are clear, accurate, and cut to the point. So well done :D!

Recently, there have been many videos referring to USMLE. Thank you for all people, who give us advice of USMLE!

[mubangakapambwe]

Finally I've understood the types of leukemia properly, thank you so much may God continue blessings you 🙏❤️

[andrewlee]

Thank you so much! I kept rereading my nursing textbook on this subject, but it didn't click until you super simplified the name for each and put them on a little spectrum! Acute is immature, Chronic is mature, and Myeloid means neutrophils. The medial and lateral letter association worked great! Thank you :)

[madisonrusso]

My classmates remembered CML has the Philadelphia chromosome by saying "C My Ladies in Philly"

[alejandyna]

you should do a video about high yield murmurs and tips to how differentiate each one. great video keep going

Excellent illustrations for a very difficult topic. I'm in 2nd year and I often find this topic very confusing. Thanks for reinforcing my concept.
