Dermatology (Rush PA)

Although I am at present an unknowledgeable M0, I appreciate how informative this introductory lecture is on mucous versus serous glands, and that an associated slide with images is presented. Histology is a notably difficult course in medical school, especially for people without prior exposure. What textbook(s) or online readings or articles would you recommend reading to further supplement learning of mucous and serous glands and epithelium throughout the human body?

The instructor is not easy to understand, not sure i learned much from him

really good doctor and timing is good like it very much and i understand the lecture

Brilliant lecture by a Dr. Stephen Holt. Great content and detailed way of explaining it all.

Dr Raj is hands down the best teacher! He is getting me through medical school as he explains content so well.

ME PARECIÒ QUE CONETNIA LO FUNDAMENTAL, BIEN EXPLICADO Y CON IMAGENES EN GENERAL NITIDAS

Dr. Holt is a very effective teacher and I learned so much from him.

Everything that he did needs to be redone in my opinion. Any other resource is better than this.

I liked the visual images accompanying the description, as I’m very unfamiliar with soft tissue infections. I liked the use of a clinical case presentation, and the subsequent process of elimination. It would have been helpful if descriptive words used to characterize the skin lesions were further elaborated on, such as for example “maculopapular”

Loved the concise and crisp approach. Very informative lectures. Helps to get an idea about the topic in a small time

Excellent! Thank you, Dr. Meyer for this lecture! Finally I don't have to memorize like a parrot and I started to like Histology ! :)

He is really good I have learned alot from him

I have never had this explained so clearly. Thank you!

he didn´t specify where the desmosomes are exactly located

Muy poca información y bastante básica la que se muestra

I cannot give less than five, Stephen! You merit it!

I found it really helpful for my NP exam on derm. I like the case studies and differentials it really helps to frame it as a rule in rule out problems.

Good but one star is less, this is because professor doesn't use cursor so it little bit difficult to understand

It was a joy learning all the common skin conditions, I’m grateful.

It has helped me a lot, I hope I will be able to pass my exams :)

Very informative, I found the photos and discussion of differentials very helpful.

This lecture was easy to follow and had good use of visual aids

I liked his joke! He's really knowledge and own clinical sense of epidemiology, presentation, etc. are inspiring!

nice recap and highlight of important points to distinguish the different diseases that share characteristics

I like how the series of videos starts with a case study and the differentials are covered

Magnificent! I love it! Especially the explanation of serosa? Nothing to say I have gentleman!!

I think that this lesson was very interesting and easy to understand. 5 starts out of 5.

THANK YOU FOR YOUR MNEUMONICS SIR I WILL NEVER FORGET MED SHIP AND 4SKINRASHNIA

Clear and conclusive, include all high-yield information needed for test

Clinical anecdotes are a great supplement to an already helpful lecture

I agree that using a pointer might help, but the way he is describing the structures makes it very clear where to look to, so I don't agree at all with the 2-star rating. Also, the rest is very informative and nicely explained.

Amazing content and explanation. Lecturer has the ability to simplify very complex material which is great for exam preparation.

Love it! It helps a lot. Dr Stephen makes it very clear.

made things clear and easy to learn in a short time

One needs a really freshened mind to grasp this. I think I need more time on this. Perhaps more illustration and pictures demonstrating the various skin conditions discussed would be beneficial!

Great,Great,Great,Great,Great,Great,Great,Great,Great,Great,Great

I really like this instructor. He distills the message into the most important information and makes it easy to remember!

Engaging and helps lock in the information with key phrasing. Great teacher!

Very interactive and funny teachers love them all it’s like very interesting

Very informative. Keeping it to the point. Perfect for an introduction before opening the book!

Excellent lecture, one more complex topic that is becoming more "graspable". Thanks!

Excellent lecture, one more complex topic explained in its most essential components. Thanks!

Good lecture, liked the general overview and structure. Happy that i found it.

The way the cases are worked through is really good. explaining each differential is something not many people do and works really well

really well explained, repetition really helps the knowledge stick. explaining rather than just reading off the screen really helps swell

Very well prepared lections. The explanations are clean and nice without theatrical exaggerations.

???? ???????? ????? ????? ??? ??? ?? ?????? ?? ??? ????? ??? ?????? ??????.

Explanation is good, but if there is more info in the PowerPoint material, it would be very nice.

he is un outstanding professor and he helps us to memorize well.

Very good, resumed and helpful. Thanks a lot for the Nice review

Simple and provides examples. Not packed with unwanted info. highly recommend.

I have rated this topic 5 stars because it is clear and easy to understand. In addition, it is easy to memorize because of the way it has been exposed.

very nice, I wish there was a pointer or a cursor when he was mentioning specific things from the diagrams shown on the screen. Otherwise, a very nice way of explaining

This is an excellent and comprehensive lecture.Thank you Lecturio!

I chose 5 stars because the lectures were detailed and there were enough slides to explain every point. This really helped me while studying the topic in my textbook as I understood the slides and why they were so; why some looked pale and others look deeply stained, it's simply amazing. I although didn't like that some of the lectures had the last few seconds cut out (for me). I would recommend this lecture to those who have been trying to figure out why histological slides are why they are and have thus found histology "boring".

Excellent summary with interesting details regarding the Pap smear. Also, good descriptions for the clinical aspects.

Concise and covered the needed material. Along with providing the differential diagnosis to pay attention to.

I love your lectures, they are fascinating and help me memorize everything better

Very clear! Context and logical connections make it my go-to for understanding histology.

Lucid case presentation Excellent distinguishing features well explained with case elucidation

I really appreciate the way Dr Holt structures his courses. The clinical scenario are not only there to help understand the different pathology, but it also give key relevant information to help with the differential.

This lecture alone makes me want to recommend Lecturio to my peers.

Excellent lecture as usual, easy to remember, good differential diagnosis.

Excellent lecture as usual, very well described and easy to remember.

I particularly liked the choice of grouping these 3 diseases in 1 lecture.

Great overview of the different types of nevi in children!

I learned a lot regarding the syndromes associated with hemangiomas and the different types of hemangiomas.

great to keep up with, love the questions after the video, wish there was more though

Great idea to group these diseases together and clear clinical pictures!

I particularly liked the remarks regarding packing, and the management of pilonidal/perirectal abscess.

Thanks for emphasizing thing like sparing nasolabial folds. I think it is extremely important to emphasize valuable high-yield thing for better remembering.

Good concise contents covering a lot of common conditions Dr Raj is a brilliant lecturer and would like to see more of his work in the future

Very good lecture. As usual: clear, concise and comprehensive. I put 4 stars, because contrary to lectures about Asthma or Bronchiolitis, I felt that the experience of the teacher did not enrich this lecture as much as it did in the previous above. Otherwise, it is still top-notch learning material.

it was a though topic in the past, I was trying to remember things just by lecture, but you make me clarify all of my doubts, thanks a lot, I wont forget the topic

The content was sufficient; however, the content curator had done a bad job. The first lecture was placed at last and last lecture in the first.

I really aprecciate this video because he explained the treatment and action mechanisim

I like the way benign nevi was explained, start with the definition and the different categories.... Perfect!

Great video on precursor lesions, RF and differential diagnosis for Melanoma.

its somehow good but need little speed when explaining not that fast tho

Well set out, well explained lecture giving high yield information on the subject matter.

The approach is wonderful. As expected from Dr. Holt. He is an excellent teacher

I always had trouble understanding dermatology. I tried to solve some questions but that never worked. I thought I will just memorize for the sake of passing but this course totally changed my perception about dermatology. The way he is approached it was excellent and I would highly recommend this course to my friends.

Very nice presentation and lectures. Well planned. The way the lectures were introduced and follow a structured pattern based on differential diagnosis is really impressive.

His anecdotes are amazing here. Makes the subject much more memorable.

ME GUSTÓ COMO EXPLICA EL TEMA, SIN EMBARGO ME HUBIERA AYUDADO SI AGREGARA MAS INFO Y DETALLES SOBRE ESTE TEMA , COMO FISIOPATOLOGIA .

I really enjoy the teaching style. Easy to follow and remember. Even when doing questions - I can remember Dr Raj mentioning it. It is easy to get introduced and get comfortable with a wide variety of topics. Would have like to know of Lecturio much sooner.

Carlo - you are great as a teacher - probably a wonderful doctor. I always had trouble remembering differences as a doctor - you make it easy.

The digital background is not apealing,each disease is scattered through no of slides intead of just one slide which would be helpful for review.

best lecturer on Lecturio - so refreshing to have a lecturer with passion and a personality! No ego getting in the way of his fantastic lectures - a very rare thing indeed!

All types of vascular skin lesions covered with details on syndromes as well as serious things to look out for. Thank you.

I loved this class. The teacher explain easy each pathology, these examples were helpful.

It is an unbelievably easy and organized explanation. It is an excellent presentation.

It is new kind of topic presentation and very organized explanation, so I strongly recommended for other students

Concise. Good explanations that go past just describing the layers in the different tissues. Considering the modest length of the videos, it is noticeable how much knowledge is conveyed.

I liked this section; however, it could be strengthened by adding more dermatological content.

Like the emphasis this instructor puts on the important things.

Rashes are very common in the outpatient setting, I've seen a lot in the urgent care. Thank you very much for summarizing, all that information.

In a short time you have a good content. And it has English subtitle.

Concise and informative. Clearly differentiates disorders. Important points covered without missing anything

It lacks some explanation and context of what the lecture is about.

It a good preview of what SLE is as a sistemic disease

Because it has all the information i need and am understanding easily

This teacher has a style of teaching that makes people retain facts better like the way he pats the liver to say beware of liver disease and his way of pressing certain words is certainly helping to reckon better, thank you, sir.

Needs to use pointer during lecture. He's telling us to look at something but he's not pointing it out.

I felt like I was sitting in the classroom with the lecturer. He taught with precision and knowledge that I can easily guess what a histologic slide is with his explanations. Very grateful for this lecture

The derm lectures have been surprisingly helpful and as always Dr Raj keeps it clear, funny, and to the point.

Made personally complicated and hard-to-take-in material very clear for me. It was very helpful with the definitions of the histological terms and summarized the skin topic very well. I am getting ready for my first histology exam and this video helped a lot!

no pathophysiology, epidemiology and risks explained explanations are shallow, very hastily spoken and with very little extra info. Not happy with this course

I think that this lesson was very interesting and easy to understand. 5 starts out of 5.

I wish you would have gone into more detail with chickenpox. I know it might not be as common in the US but a lot of people use lecturio for other international tests and chickenpox is still a big deal here (both in clinical practice and licensing exams)

Very simple and easy to understand , it saved me a lot of time.

These lectures are overly simplified and too short so they don't provide enough or even any detail on the organism, diagnosis, presentation, and treatment. Seemed like a waist of my time to even listen to these. Lengthen the videos and they will become more useful.

From my point of view, this lecture is an amazing clear presentation about angioedema . This lecture discribes in many ways and from several point of views the struggles and the look outs about this condition and illness. Also, a fresh way for (becoming) docters to make it not so difficult for them working together with the patient, with this clear and vivid diagram. It is possible to check the "boxes" together because of the clear way of putting it all out there. People could recognize the specifics of the illness.

I could not follow along very well, i did not feel very connected

NICE LECTURE, short and understandable. feels like information is not enough. anyway, it's a good lecture. thank you, doctor Carlo.

this article handles the explanation for skin layers; which I find as the hardest of the topics, in a well organised and logically acceptable building. It is really interesting to read. It summarizes the topic but without the loss of any crucial information. Also, the use of well-labelled pictures and microscopic slides is a plus and catalyse the understanding. I would recommend this to my premedical colleagues.

I think he is one of the top lectures that have a particularly unique way in gaining attention. Kudos

Belabors the points quite succinctly! The approach is just the best for clinical dermatology!

i could understand what the doctor carlo raj is telling only because lecturio is providing subtitles and transcript of what he is speaking which is really helpful and very useful and i am really thankful for that to lecturio..........................

HE HAS TAKEN THE BEST EFFORT IN EXPLAINING THE TOPIC AND HAS PRESENTED IT WELL AND IN A STUDENT FRIENDLY MANNER.

Taken lot of effort to explain the details of the topic and to make us understand the difference between the two conditions: pemphigous vulgaris and bullous pemphigoid. it was a beautiful lecture.....

dr carlo raj has explained the topic very clearly and in a very point wise manner..........it was very helpful............

the lecture was easy to understand and well done. i am feeling satisfied after listening to this lecture.

the lecture was simple and easy to understand. it was a good lecture.

BECAUSE DR CARLO RAJ IS SUCCESSFUL IN MAKING ME UNDERSTAND THE TOPIC. SENTENCES HE USED WERE NOT SO COMPLICATED AND IS SOMEWHAT EASY TO UNDERSTOOD.

Would like to see some discussion about investigations eg patch testing

60 % of stage 4 patients develop metastasis in the brain. Why is it missing? Target-therapy with BRAFi Vermurafenib or Dabrafenib should be given in combination with MEK inhibitors. Both modern immunotherapy treatments are missing (CTLA4, PD-1). That are just the basics. Melanoma research developed fast and this video should be replaced by an updated version.

things made quite easy with interactive lectures and slides and tables

great explanation Few people have a talent in teaching. i think Dr Raj is one of them thank you so much

very good and informative lecture. thank you for good explanation associated with the differential diagnosis

good and simple explanation however it would be more useful if there are examples for each lesion

this is really clear, cuts to the chase, pleasantly taught

I really liked this course because the doctor repeated the most relevant information and was very professional and patient.

Muy interesante el tema, y muy bien explicado, lo entendí mucho mejor que los libros, gracias.

Engaging presenter. Love the reinforcements of what is important to remember. Love that he includes DD and why those other DD can be ruled out. His lecture will stick.

lecture should be more simplify as it is many times difficult to understand .

Nice summary of most common rashes in children. Nice recap questions.

the more jokes the better. Keep it up . We need more details on diagnostic and therapy

I really lime the way of presentation and the quick test after that, because that challenge me to really pay attention to the lectures, but only one concern is about tha fast speaking, as a foreign is sometime a little difficult for me to get everything a one, because l need to replay the video, but for the rest, amazing work guys!!

Dr. Raj does a stellar job of explaining not only the disease but then giving great visualizations of what that patient will look like when they present for treatment. He is also great about pausing for a moment to let important information sink in. His pictures were very helpful as well as I am a very visual learner.

Dr Raj was concise with relevant clinical significance and the lectures were not too long.

Love this guy! Easy to listen to. Puts emphasis on important points. And occasionally says something surprisingly funny. "Rubber Baby Bumper Buggies" lol

Excellent means of simplifying a complex topic especially the numerous symptoms

i think there should be more information about impetigo regarding types(bollous, non bollous) and ddx . regarding ssss pictures and pathology should be added will be more helpful

i choose to rate this lecture, because it is well explain. additionally, he outlines the main things that i should remember which is very helpful

I watched most of the STD lectures. They are well explained and I really appreciate that. THANK YOU

This is by far the best histology lecture there is online. love the way make it so easy to comprehend and the Q&A Are amazing

it's clear and simple, i like dr. raj so far.but there are other lesions that should be covered ( mainly secondary) and pictures should be added, it's a a dermatology course if we don't see we won't understand. i would suggest to add those things in the articles (which are amazing btw) if you want to keep the video simple

I love the eminent Dr Carlo Raj. Very keen to get across the knowledge into all thick skulls.

excellent, comprehensive, detailed and very focused dermatology lecture on high yield and clinically relevant material

Excellent summary for any medical student in their Dermatology practice.

now my act is as MD dermatologist really i feel very confidence after hearing his lectures i wanna say thank you so much

I don't think he's robotic at all. The way he talks keeps me engaged, better than most monotone professors I have in med school Excellent explanations. He is very articulate and knows how to tie facts together and emphasises on the key facts so you at least leave the video knowing what Atopic Dermatitis is about

Very clear, hits high-yield points, somewhat entertaining too. Very passionate lecturer.

Very conscise and get to the point at each topic/secsion/

professor lectures factual information relevant to epithelium in a simplified way

I think this is a great app! Just wondering if this app/info applies to the Family Nurse Practitioner board exam as well? Thanks much! Stephanie K

Great overview. Wish that dermatology covered more topics, though. I enjoyed this overall. I like the transcript section. It allows me to review the material and read the speakers words verbatim. This is wonderful for all types of learning.

This playlist was named: Musculoskeletal, Skin, and Connective Tissue—Pathology. But only skin pathology is covered, there are no musculoskeletal and connective tissue pathology videos... and they can't be found elswhere either.

Very easy to understand and a good review for SLE labs. Anybody could be able to understand

I love how he directly emphasizes main points with repetition and gives details of differentials. He is very direct and to the point, no wasted time.

5 star lecturer! I enjoy every moment watching the videos. All med students should subscribe this app!

I like it very much, He focused in all the important topics, and presented it very excellently, I recommend this app for all my friends.

Dr. Racaniello is a very good professor. He takes all his time to ensure that his students understand the concepts of the topics. All his feedbacks and examples are very relevant.

Dermatology course challenge is that either everything looks like either dermatitis or lupus. Dr. Raj delivers the course in a concise and straight forward manner. I had no problem with his diction and/or pronunciation. Also, his interactive way of asking in every video, helps you maintain a sort of active learning during the passive learning of hearing the lecture. All doubts clarified.

The lecture was a little hard to follow. The speaker seems a little nervous.

Great lecture! Very detailed and I understood it with ease. I'm looking forward to the other lectures.

Difficult to understand. Annoying accent. Difficult to concentrate on the lecture due to his presentation style.

Interesting but a little light on my point of view. I am a resident working in France to become an emergency doctor and honestly i would have enjoy to have a differential diagnosis guide between erysipelas and DVT for instance or other similar looking skin disorders. Often receiving elderly patients at emergency, it is sometimes hard do make a difference (clinically i mean) between erysipelas and "ocre dermite" also called purpuric angiodermatitis, part of post thrombotic syndrome. What about the "portal of entry" in erysipelas we have to look for? what about the difference in aspect between cellulitis and erysipelas, one having more delimited and visible border than the other? Anyway thank you for this lecture :)

Very helpful, concise, and overall great lectures!! I'm excited to complete other courses!

Good lecture. The talking is very smooth and continuous not robotic like it sometimes tends to be the case with Dr.Raj. Excellent! Good explanation of the terms and the difference between atopic and contact dermatitis! Some more elaboration on treatment options, including non-pharmacologic and the role of allergen testing (should you do it or not?) would be a good addition.

I like his explanation and also him demonstrating techniques or anatomic locations on his own body, however the diction feels very unnatural. This is in all the videos. Can that be improved? It becomes grating to listen to over time and speeding up the video doesn`t do much to improve it.

Easy to understand. I recommend adding more information regarding medication such as what kind of systemic seroid we are using.

Fantastic talk but would have liked further information on non-pharmacological treatment and also the role of allergen testing

I find one of the challenging aspects of dermatology is to keep in the various ddx for "similar" looking presentation. The way these lectures are set out has been very useful to have a few ddx to think about when facing a pt with a rash!

Great talk I would have liked to hear further discussion on the use preventative strategies, duration of treatment for tetracyclines and retininoids as well as mention of OCP in females.

I liked this video much better than the last. :) Maybe it's because he starts to feel more comfortable in front of the camera.

I agree with the above review. As knowledgable and nice as he may be, the flow isn't there. It's very robotic.

Very good way of teaching and explanation is clear to the key points, thank you Dr.Carlo Raj!

To the point and repetitive, which helps a lot with making sense of confusing differentials.

It is very important to have a better diction and prosody

I like his way to explain. He did not mention if these are 1ry or 2ry lesion. There is no pic.

I liked the vídeos becase they are like a quick view of a topic, the general stuff and really important. I would like more photos, maybe clínica cases to practice and not to be so general in the treatment

Said by a old MD (58) you can count on it Dr Raj has the gift, the talent to focus on what really matters but most of all after many years it was the first time that I was amazed by specific tips I never took in consideration . Thanks Dr Raj thanks Lecturio I shall die less ignorant
