High Yield Neurology Review for Step 2 CK & Shelf Exam

This video is targeted for 3rd year medical students preparing for their shelf exams or Step 2 CK. It is with my intention to help you review the big topics covered in Neurology in 35 minutes to help you as an overview before your internal medicine shelf exam studying or as a final quick review the night before your exam! If you can easily know these concepts then you should be in good shape.

Great Brown Sequard explanation, just remember, the contralateral disfunction( pain and temperature) is 2 to 3 levels below the injured site, the ipsilateral part is exactly at the same level.

23:50 CPT Brown Sequard (so like contralateral pain and temp, everything else is ipsilateral.)
Absolutely love your videos, helped me with my clinical years and exams.

Thanks for your video! To your point about doing an echo as part of the stroke work-up, my understanding is that a TTE is done to look for a PFO which would allow for a paroxysmal embolus and would therefore give us a potential etiology for the stroke.

Using this video to help cram for my shelf exam today. Your videos are awesome. One thing - IIRC, the "Best you can do" for stroke after 3h (or 4.5 if they don't have a certain laundry list of risk factors including T2DM for tPA) is thrombectomy within 24h for large vessel occlusion and NIHSS > 6

Watched all your vids multiple times on my commute. Great high yield review for shelf/CK. Subscribed & shared. Thanks for creating and sharing!

Love your videos. If I do decently on step 2 next week it's at least 25% because of your videos.

[OllertonMD]

freaking sweet man. take step 3 in 1 week. feel more confident with neuro now. thanks.

[jlholt]

Nice job. Listened to this right before my neuro shelf, keep up in the good work.

[rawanalharbi]

You are amazing.
Just a quick correction, we no longer perform the Edrophonium test for MG because of its false positives and we just perform the Antibody tests

[lovings]

Awesome video, thank you! Just one point I'd like to correct, medications aren't really used in management of BPPV. Rather, it is the particle repositioning maneuvers (e.g. Epley) that are the mainstay of treatment :)

[JM-grdy]

Thank you very much for making this - really clear and helpful!

[panbeing]

This was very helpful for my Neurology rotation exam tomorrow! Great revision :)

[royarastegar]

Fantastic!! Your videos are sooo helpful!! Thanks very much

[abdullahirashid]

What a wonderful vid, very quick revision looking forward for others topics plz lets see more videos from you. You Åre a true saviour

[LorenzoCarnio]

I wish whoever else was listening to this would mute their mic, the echo effect on it is killing me with headphones on :(

[vred]

Love that you included pictures. It makes it a lot easier to remember. I also love that you worded it in a question and answer format so on second viewing I played it like a quiz.

Edit: one thing though, Graves is diagnosed by checking for serum antibodies against the acetylcholine receptors at the NMJ, not with the edrophonium(tensilon) test

[zerozero]

Thank you for doing this! My CK is next week and if you can do all IM videos that would be helpful, especially cardio, heme, ID, GI, resp. I appreciate it!

I am a person that had an aneurysm rupture back in March 2022 when it happened I had no simtem whatsoever I just collapsed lucky for me my wife was near by it happened at the back of the head, I have now fully recovered I find your video very interesting I'm trying to find out all I can to do with the brain. I have found since my medical problem occurred now the brain has become interesting to me

[blakehoward]

This is my favorite of all of your videos, because Goljan cuts off part of Neurology, Emma Holliday never gets to it, and Boards and Beyond requires a subscription/is much longer. Thanks a lot for this!!

[ongogablogian]

Standardized testing now seems to prefer hypertonic saline for ICP instead of mannitol due to some emerging research showing improved safety and efficacy. Thanks for the great video!
