Description of  Andreas Syrimis Clinical Examinations DVD Complete

Clinical Examinations - a ground breaking DVD video publication on Physical Examination and Clinical Diagnosis. It guides the medical student from basic clinical techniques to advance procedures clearly and easily in a virtual classroom at their own pace. General Examination: This is the first of a series of presentations on clinical examination. A General Examination of the Patient is a preliminary and important step before focusing into one of the body systems. The student is guided through a virtual classroom environment enhanced with live footage, graphic images, animations, pictures of pathologies, sound recordings and revision tables, starting from basic considerations to more advanced clinical techniques. Total play: 60 mins Images & animations: 33 Revision tables: 25 Revision booklet enclosed Respiratory System Examination: The respiratory tree starts from the nose and mouth and finishes at the alveoli. The student is guided through a virtual classroom environment enhanced with live footage, graphic images, animations, pictures of pathologies, sound recordings and revision tables, starting from basic considerations to more advanced clinical techniques. Total play: 65 mins Images & animations: 33 Revision tables: 50 Revision booklet enclosed Cardiovascular Examination: This presentation starts with an effective review of the anatomy and physiology of the cardiovascular system. It is enhanced with the use of specially designed graphic images, animations and summary slides. It starts with general inspection of the hands and face and how external features may reflect internal pathologies relating to the cardiovascular system. The presentation proceeds in a step-by-step evaluation of the patient, focusing on the heart and circulatory tree. Total play: 50 mins Images & animations: 33 Revision tables: 45 Revision booklet enclosed Abdominal Examination: This presentation starts with an effective review of the anatomy and physiology of the gastrointestinal system. It is enhanced with the use of specially designed graphic images, animations and summary slides. It starts with general inspection of the hands and face and how external features may reflect internal pathologies relating to the gastrointestinal system. The presentation proceeds in a step-by-step evaluation of the patient, focusing on the abdomen and pelvic regions. Total play: 67 mins Images & animations: 35 Revision tables: 52 Revision booklet enclosed Peripheral Nervous System Examination: Examination of this complex system is often viewed with trepidation by most students. This is due to a number of reasons and in particular a clear understanding of the neuroanatomy, the application of clinical skills and the interpretation of findings. In this presentation we take you in a simplified step-by-step approach beginning with a review of the anatomy. Making use of many specially designed images and animations we take you on an anatomical journey from the cerebral cortex, to the spinal tracts, the principal plexii, peripheral nerves their course and distribution until they supply their effector structures. Total play: 103 mins Images & animations: 145 Revision tables: 220 Revision booklet enclosed Cranial Nerves Examination: Examination of the 12 cranial nerves - like the peripheral nervous system - presents a challenge to the student and practitioner alike. Achieving a clinical competency in evaluating the cranial nerves needs frequent practice and revision. In this presentation we explore the structure, distribution and function of each cranial nerve with clear images and animations before proceeding to evaluate them. Clinical examination is presented in a simplified approach, what you may find and what this might signify. Total play: 81 mins Images & animations: 92 Revision tables: 250 Revision booklet enclosed Case History Taking and Differential Diagnosis: Case History taking forms the first major component in the process of arriving at a diagnosis. Taking a concise and focused case history requires good listening, interpersonal and analytical skills. In most cases the clinician would have developed their differential diagnosis on case history alone. Subsequent clinical examination and further diagnostic procedures must be based on the identification of emerging themes that will eventually give rise to the most probable diagnosis(es). The process of focused case history inquiry and the development of differential diagnosis is demonstrated in a unique and innovative approach by analyzing the progress of real clinical encounters. Total play: 120 mins Images: 82 Revision tables: 850 Revision booklet enclosed Musculoskeletal Examination: For a meaningful and effective Musculoskeletal Examination you need an in-depth knowledge of anatomy and its relationship to function as well as clear demonstration techniques. This extensive presentation achieves these objectives by taking a step-by-step approach from basic principles of the musculoskeletal system to specialised diagnostic techniques. Total play: 210 mins Images & animations: 300 Revision tables: 725 Revision booklet enclosed Key Features within each DVD: Video recordings of patient being examined.
