Item Breast Ultrasound(2024) Loomis, Mario, Associate Professor Clinical Anatomy; Alvarez, Diego F, Professor Physiology and PharmacologyLoomis-Alvarez Video Series correlating structure, function, and clinical applications to facilitate medical student understanding of complex anatomical and physiological concepts. In this episode, we present a breast ultrasound with live imaging correlated with mammography. Breast cancer is the most common malignancy in women and the 5th leading cause of cancer death worldwide. Therefore, screening and early detection are critical. While mammography is the primary screening modality, ultrasound can be complementary and, in some cases, preferable for younger women and those with dense breast tissue. It is particularly useful in distinguishing cysts from solid masses. Ultrasound is also useful as a guide to biopsying and excising breast tumors. Ultrasound is portable, avoids ionizing radiation with its cancer risk, and is easily performed in an office setting. By following the position of the probe on the breast, juxtaposed with the ultrasound image, students and residents can improve their understanding of the structures of the breast, chest wall, and axilla, and they relate to the physical examination and diagnostic imaging.Item How to Take a Diagnostic 12-lead ECG in a Male(2024) Ramirez, Dana, Osteopathic Medical Student; Hapenciuc, Gabriel, Osteopathic Medical Student; Shillinglaw, Andrew, Osteopathic Medical Student; Loomis, Mario, Associate Professor Clinical Anatomy; Alvarez, Diego F, Professor Physiology and PharmacologyIn this episode of the Loomis-Alvarez Medical Video Series, we present the technique for mastering 12-lead electrocardiogram (ECG) Electrode Placement in male subjects. Within the field of cardiology, precision in electrode placement is paramount for capturing high-fidelity ECG readings. Our immersive laboratory demonstration mirrors a real-world scenario, equipping medical students with the practical expertise needed to confidently position electrodes for optimal signal acquisition. Embark on this comprehensive journey through each essential step, beginning with meticulous skin preparation to ensure secure electrode adhesion and seamless signal transmission. Navigate the intricacies of limb lead placement, strategically positioning electrodes on the arms and legs (RA, LA, RL, LL) to capture electrical activity accurately. Moreover, unlocks the secrets of chest lead placement, utilizing precise anatomical landmarks to guide the placement of electrodes (V1-V6) across the chest region. By immersing yourself in this practical activity, you will gain invaluable insights and hands-on experience vital for mastering the art of 12-lead ECG electrode placement.Item Interpreting Compensatory Acid-Base Disturbances in Arterial Blood Gases(2024) Ramirez, Minerva, Osteopathic Medical Student; Ju, Diane, Osteopathic Medical Student; Yates, Christopher, Osteopathic Medical Student; Loomis, Mario, Associate Professor Clinical Anatomy; Alvarez, Diego F, Professor Physiology and PharmacologyIn this episode of the Loomis-Alvarez Medical Video Series, we present a systematic approach for a critical interpretation of compensatory acid-base disturbances in Arterial Blood Gases (ABGs). In this video, we will decipher compensatory acid-base disturbances in arterial blood gases, a skill that helps diagnose and manage critical conditions. We will follow a systematic approach, first identifying if there is acidemia or alkalemia by looking at the pH. Then, we will determine the primary culprit – is it a respiratory issue reflected in the pCO2, or a metabolic problem evident in the HCO3- level? The fun part comes next: analyzing the compensatory response. Did the body attempt to adjust the pH with the respiratory system (by altering CO2) or with the metabolic system (through HCO3- changes)? By following this step-by-step analysis, our peers will walk you through the intricacies of making a proper diagnosis of the primary disorder and also understand how the body is trying to maintain and/or regain balance. This knowledge is key to making informed treatment decisions for your patients. Join us on this educational journey as we unravel the mysteries of acid-base disturbances in ABGs. Join us on this educational voyage as we demystify the complexities of acid-base disturbances in ABGs.Item Latino Osteopathic Medical Student Audio Series - Brianna Castro(2024) Castro, Brianna, Osteopathic Medical Student; Alvarez, Diego F, Professor Physiology and PharmacologyBridging Horizons: Audio Series on a medical career journey for undergraduate students There is an undisputable need to increase Hispanic diversity in medical education and healthcare.
