Non-neoplastic diseases of the esophagus (CUSM 5300 Week 1 Wednesday)

Thank you. I´m going to present this topic at my hospital.

my favourite lecturer. great lecture on such a complex topic

very good approach to the problem of dysphagia, clear algorithm to reaching the diagnosis.

Absolutely amazing videos! So easy to understand and retain. Thank you !

Its was perfect explanation But not 5 since i still have questions

AS ALWAYS DR.CARLO RAJ IS A MAGICIAN (WHO CONVERTS TOUGH TOPICS =EASY TOPICS)

Very well explained, makes remembering the difference between the cancers memorable!

Using Lecturio makes understanding and subsequent digesting and memorization of the material, so much easier. The lectures and notes are concise and to the point.

Dr. Raj as usual Concise + Direct + Very clinically relative = LIFE SAVER

The teaching is excellent and more from a practical point of view.

Did not feel comfortable with the accent, way of communicating the information, way of pausing between one point and another. I am sorry to say that, but to me, and this is my personal view, and no offense, it is irritating

Dr. Raj is obviously invested in our learning the topics. He emphasizes certain words or points that you pick up on right away. No boring power point regurgitation!

Bcs he explained everything very smoothly. And I understand faster. And am happy to be part of this wibsite

Every aspect is accurate and explained well In all aspects

Every aspect of the lecture is well explained. Presented accurately . Every part of it is very clearly understood by all. Very good topic

A rare topic presented very well. It is very accurate to understend for any one

It is a nice prasentation with a prompt accuracy and clear discription

Very nice topic told very clearly and every thing is clearly underdtood

like it very much, nothing to say too more. His lecture is very easy to understand.

Easy to understand :D Very helping me to study better and better

Very great video, as someone probably mention earlier a bit more pathophys would be appreciated

There are many more symptoms of oropharyngeal dysphagia than those mentioned (e.g. increased chewing time, inability to form bolus etc.). Also, referral to speech pathology would provide additional insight into the patient's dysphagia.

Very funny the way that he explains everything, make difficult concept very much easy to understand and with high yield information!!!

I'm a huge fan of Dr. Raj so this may be a bit biased. Dr. Raj does an excellent job of hitting the high points and his anecdotes are quite relevant. You almost feel as though you're on rounds or in the clinic and there's a patient presenting with symptoms. Video examples of the endoscopes would be awesome btw.

I felt that there where some details missing, Dr. Raj did give out the basic description of the majority of diseases, but if the videos where a little more complete I wouldn't of felt the need to go read and look some where else

I think the lectures provide a quick summary of these sections. However, I don't think it is adequate depth particularly when it comes to management. This is exemplified by the management of oesophageal varices where it is unclear which management approach will be utilised first/preferred in the case of acute bleed nor is it clear when you will need to utilise TIPSS. Finally a number of diagnostic tests are mentioned throughout the talks but the audience is not provided with a basis to approach the patients sitting on front of them. As an example if a patient complains of dysphagia or dyspepsia what will be your first diagnostic tests and the order in which you will perform these test. I think this the higher level thinking required for step 2

No mention of ongoing follow up and grades of barrett's

So far the path lectures on my iPhone are great. I drive 30 minutes to school each way and I think they are very comprehensible even when it's this more passive learning style. They are perfect for getting my brain ready for school and winding down on the drive back.
