Year 2 – Semester 3 – Block 5 – Gastrointestinal and Renal Systems – Histology/Pathology

de los mejores doctores que tiene la plataforma, definitivamente amo sus videos!! saludos desde argentina..

Pathology is something that is very important in med school. The tutor is not providing enough charge to keep the student interested.

Great lecture!! So easy to understand and so easy to memorize the different stages according to the picture.

I liked the illustrations and the animations. the lecture was on point and easy to understand

Thank you, Professor Richard Mitchell! This lecture was extremely accessible and very clearly taught. Even though I am watching this on a laptop, I get the sense that Prof Mitchell is very friendly and really wants to help students understand. I found the video very useful :)

perfect lecture, will always remember thanks to animations, thank you

Thanks dr raj love the way you are teaching with all this integration

It was very informative! I liked the explanation a lot.

Very well and clearly explained and nice to listen to.

Concise but still covers all clinically relevant points. As expected of Dr. Richard.

So cool, so funny, making it easy. Love this professor

This is a very important topic in my country (Guatemala), thank you Dr Richard.

Awesome It explained it down to the nitty gritty aspects Much appreciated

Too good, is what I was looking for the topic

Very nice I like your way of teaching Thanks for you very much for the information you provided

Estos videos estan increibles para repasar de una forma que no sea tediosa, ya con las bases y esto para repasar uno mismo puede ir comentando el video junto con el expositor lo cual está excelente

really want to learn about SIADH, oh,,,, Dr. Raj. hard stop

Hello lecturers Team Brilliant lecturers from Dr C. Raj. Especially differential diagnostics in terms of pathology.And diff diagnostics are outstanding.

Hello Lecturio team I am very much appreciated the Renal Diagnostics by Dr. Carlo Raj. A very detailed way and with clinical examples. Overall, lecturio courses have a very deep logics in it. Particularly Dr Rajs has great way of explaining and very much captivates your attention, because he explains and seeing problems from many angles if you like , almost like a MRI scan. I also watch in my language as well.

Mon ami, magnifique! Doesn't Require me ten words to say it.

Bravo Bien entendu, of course.  The pieces slowly coming together whith each lecture. Adh chemical from brain regulating water channels TAL upstream  DCT downstream concentration/dilute Salt/water Sure there is a canal chamber lock analogy here somewhere. These little grey cells.

Dr. Raj is breaking this down and is the reason I will likely resub my lecturio. Clear, concise, and engaging.

This is an excellent lecture that integrates other body systems and applies the effects to the kidneys. Understanding where and why all of the hormones act on the nephron was thoroughly and expertly explained. Very, very well done.

Amazing!!!! Thank you Dr Raj. Please keep his pathology series and also the associated physiology review.

5 stars for Dr. Meyer! Excellent explanation & good structure! Thank you!!!

The lectures are pretty good but many of the ddx are dependent on the histo, EM, IM, etc findings. PLEASE provide a pointer for future lectures. Simply describing what we should be seeing is not as helpful - it's difficult to follow along.

Dr. Meyer, you are awesome!!! I never thought that I will start to like Histology! The entire chapter is great! My favourite part is your interactive technique bonus, used in Esophagus video! :)

I like it I’m still learning but I’m very grateful for the material and content matter

Just I need to get this course for my exam and i am progressing with Dr.Raj confidently...Thanks for all

This was one of the most detailed explanations of blood filtration I have seen. Really well done.

Dr Carlo Raj is excellent teacher that manages to keep me both attentive and interested in the topic. He seems to have a good understanding of key topics and what is important to medical students.

Professor, I thank you! You made this lecture so easy for me to understand that I kept on smiling to myself knowing that I now understand this lecture perfectly well. I like the way you demonstrated the parts of the lips by actually showing/pointing to it on yourself. For initially before I watched your lecture, I did not know where the vermilion border was, etc. Thank you for enriching my knowledge with such vital information. God bless you

man i really find it hard to understand the lectures

I'm sorry but I can't seem to understand him, it feels like he's revising the new subject to me instead of teaching it.

His lectures are always amazing, simple and so clear! Thank you

Well explained .Full of concepts and differentials.and gud humour

the presentation is easy to understand.. it is easier for me to understand the topic im reading in the textbook..

Español: Fácil de aprender. Conciso y directo. Buena infografía. English: Easy to learn. Concise and direct. Good infographic.

very good explain in simplest way , I am a physiology student, thanks Dr.

very useful lecture. The graph is very informative and helps one understand renal physiology.

Very well explained. Physiological aspects of digestion & absorption combined with histological study makes it easy to comprehend the process. Eg. Circulation of blood & bile to & from the liver very well explained.

Great summary and extraordinary explanation of each one of the diseases

Dr C Roy has a very pragmatic approach that makes more sense when recalling

Congratulations! Complete review !!! Excelent, high level questions. Best review I have seen about the topic!

Dear Dr Meyer, you have made my histology course so much easier and understandable! I cannot thank you enough!

Excellent content. Concepts are precise, accurate and presented in a fun, enjoyable manner.

The 5 star description says, "I like it very much", well that sums it up!

Best lecturer! Clear and concise summaries with all important information provided. Keep Up the great work!

Great lectures, Dr. Raj! My 8 yr old convinced me to rate before I finished the lecture series.

Helpful, demonstrated good insights and teaches in an enjoyable and logical manner

Enthusiastic, to the point, interesting lessons which are enjoyable and educational

the lecture is informative and the slides are also good. I would like to see something similar to the (eBook) PDF that was done in the cardiovascular pathology section in the renal section too though

Wonderful lecture explaining a difficult topic. I love Dr. Raj lectures! Looking forward to more Dr. Raj.

It was informative lecture, the way of explaining the idea and make away to simplify informations was perfect Also putting every information in a clinical scenario was helpful I wish that doctor raj make lectures for all the subjects, his way in explaining is so so special, and he keeps it easier to keep the information for a long term

Teaches really well. Informative, fun to learn Lectures. I liked it very Much.

he is very good, and fun! thankyou doctor carlo raj. best regards, med stud from indonesia

I think that Dr Raj is simply amazing because he has the ability to make even the most intricated concepts clear and easy to understand!

There is a lot of information, and that is good, but the slides don't mention those information briefly.

great lecture series thanks a loot, helped me to truly understand the things going on in the nephron plus some pharma and great pathology overview ,highly recommended

It's pretty precise and I appreciate the professor showing images while explaining.

A lot of repetitions which make it perfect to memorize, normal speed of talking - not too fast, not too slow

Couldn’t be done better thank you dr raj ,very helpful

I believe the direction (left to right and right to left) needs to be reversed

This guy is awesome!, clear and straight forward. I love the way he motivates me to just keep the important data and let go unnecessary details.

Dr Raj is very wonderful! He made the most difficult topics to look simple and easy to understand. Nice lectures

Overall good course with an extraordinary professor with brief and precise explanations of the different topics. The only thing I would add not only to histology course, but to Lecturio is more questions in the q bank. Or different type of questions. Most of them are straight forward from the video and not enough critical thinking in my opinion. I would like to see an improvement in this area

Best lecture. I like the video.I read the slide with this lecture that help me to understand the our lecture.

I find Dr .Raj to be energetic, fun and I appreciate him taking the time to teach us concepts and foundations as opposed to blindly memorizing facts. Enjoying his series thoroughly!

Literally you can not follow along at all. No idea how to figure out where on the image he is verbally referring to

I loved the lecture, I learned things I didn’t know. Like it very much.

They are really all good; and great for medical school Students.

The content is great, it's just hard to understand. Dr Raj knows a lot, but it's hard to understand everything. So it's like a Ferrari without wheels, you have the power, but it struggles getting you somewhere. It's not the ideal scenario with something like this, like pathology, and because of the amount of content in the program. Like I said, other than that, great.

It is great how Dr. Raj integrates pathophysiology with clinical correlations, including pharmacology and its mechanisms.

Dr. Raj is a very good teacher. He always finds a fast way to bring relevant review information, as well as clinical references.

The best lecturer I have ever met. What a gifted teacher. Words cannot explain. An asset to Lecturio family. Thank you teacher.

These lectures on the gastrointestinal histology were more than helpful to me, as they came in handy for, firstly, comprehending the overall picture and, secondly, for taking note on the details (such as the types of cells that make the gastric glands or the intestinal glands)

Good presentation and good pronunciation for being foreign. Thanks for the difference between urea and uric acid.

Was good lecture .........but can you expand more on diagnosis and treatment

Very clear explanation and quick review after the topic explanation. Geoffrey also exposes tricks for remembering key items. I admire very much this professor.

The explanations are very good and concise. Nonetheless, specially in these topics, we need to see more images, there are a lot of glomerular damage patterns even for the same disease (e.g. FSGN) and I do not think there were enough images to learn them. Also, a pointer is needed, Dr. Raj described numerous glomerular lesions and sometimes it was difficult to follow his descriptions as he didn’t have a pointer to help him locate those lesions. Even with these problems I really liked how Dr. Raj really emphasized the diseases patterns and reminded them almost in every video (E.g. SubEPIthelial in PSGN).

I LOVE the lecture but i'm having difficult time understanding it. I had to watch and stop and write to understand it.. maybe more diagrams? or break it down :)

Dr. Raj Explains topic with finesse and maintains the balance with his quirky dialogues.

Dig deep! These lectures make you think! Very deep content and worth the work of understanding them.

not really engaging, hard to hear and understand. Didn't understand some of what he was saying

Organized and informative. Made me remember the key points easily. A pointer is needed to illustrate the graphics.

very clear, and easy to remember all the points, and it is very helpful to understand

dr raj is really good at making the lectures interesing, fun and informative.

This lecture is quick, has good examples and is straight to the point.

Nicely and easily explained. Thank you so much Dr Meyer

very easily and well explained lecture about the esophagus. thank you for the explination

Great presentation, complete and educational. Questions are very helpful. Thank you

He is the best I have ever seen.The way he broke down the topic was really commendable

Perfect , Well explained , excellent teacher , The best pathology course alv

I wish he was on my Med school as my teacher , But Thanks god lecturio Exists and now he is our pathology teacher

Brilliant! Dr. Raj focuses on understanding and establishes foundation knowledge for you to build on. Extremely helpful.

It's clear and understandable.I learnt nearly all of the topic

excillent lecture ,Teacher and presentation ,Just recommend to use pointer when Explain on dighram .

thank you Dr. Raj very good series , you explained it well and repeated the information a lot to be memorized

he he is too slow to explain.....difficulties in reading material ...........

B12 is produced by bacteria. Almost all vegans know we have to consume it with supplements, I heard it a thousand times already. We don't need any animal products to have enough B12, stop spreading misconceptions. How about telling about how eating too much purine (daily meat) may causes gout? It's much more common.

The best teacher , his sense of humor make the lectures more fun

In the beginning I did not understand some of the topics, but after number of repetions I understood the subjects explained. Send questions in nephrology and other subjects. My feedback is positive even though at first it was not so.

The pathology course is so good, excellent explanation , to tell you the truth, I love it !! You have everything about Pathology USMLE under Lecturio to your success.

The topics were explained clearly. Confusing topics/concepts were made less confusing. I actually enjoyed learning this subject.

As always I enjoy and learn so much from you Dr. Raj

Most lectures about nephron segment is kind of boring. But I really like Dr. Raj's passionate and clear explanation, and the way he sophisticated getting knowledge connected with clinical application. It's the best nephron segment lecture ever.

One of the most confusing concept is explained very clearly in a short video!!

Finally I understand the concept or the BUN/Cr ratio and the difference between prerenal and intrinsic

He explained many problem in glomerulonephritis very clearly. I 'll appreciate that.

Doctor, you are great! I've been struggling with nephrology for some time, and after trying many sources and attending multiple classes, I can finally say I found something that really makes everything very clear. I'm having some really beautiful days studying now. Thank you!

Ugly way of explaining. Weird pronounciation. Not so clear explanation.

There was a profound description of physiopathology, with emphasis on the clinical elements that helped lead to diagnosis. There was a lack of precision regarding diagnostic cut-off values, treatment and follow-up.

This was hard for me to undersand and now I get it THANKS!!!

Love how he can make something difficult into an easy learning experience. Excellent clases, with funny quotes that make you smile.

Excellent and understandable! Not confusing at all and goes straight to the point!

Lectures are short and precise,highlighting the most critical points

Succintly summarised with contstant references back to other relevant topics

The lecture is awesome, It really helped me understanding Glomerulonephritis. The lecturer is excellent, slides are excellent, repeating was crucial for this topic. I would recommend this to all medical students, who are struggling to understand Glomerulonephritis. Very Helpful.

thank you so mush it was helpful thank you so mush it was helpful

thank you so mush it was helpful thank you so mush it was helpful

Simple and efficient, thanks for the french traduction, your video and quizz help me a lot !

I love the way Carlo teaches what may seem as complex concepts so simply. easy to understand and with such humor. I am enjoying this lecture series. Can listen to him all day. Thank you Carlo.

i like the lecture bcz its so organised and so useful thank you all

Dr. Raj is great! His presentations are interesting, to the point and you DO learn, even when somewhat tired. I enjoy and look forward to seeing these lectures.

In my country ( Cambodia ), we don't have USMLE exam but this course helped me to be more understandable and more practical in my career.

u just made renal pathology easy for me loved the tables and algorithms u made thanks Dr.Carlo Raj

Thorough and patient presentation of an often problematic topic to a lot of students and practising physicians

I chose this liking because it is like he is reading straight off of a board in front of him and sometimes it takes him too long to get to the point of the subject possibly because he is having problems reading the material in front of him.

Thank you Dr Raj!!!! finally understand this complicated topic. Dr Raj is the best.

Dr Raj is definitely the best always make things appear so simple

The sir Geoffrey explains very well but i find it difficult to follow the explination on the histalogic image due to the lack of pointing out the structures i am not sure if i am looking at the right thing and i am always at doubt. Pls use pointers and thx for the attention.

Great, succinct, and well taught lecture. I did not find it confusing.

Amazing! I really get the material, Dr. Raj! I love how you keep reinforcing the material during each lecture!

love him, he cares and it shows. he does a great job explaining, in his own words/way

Thank you so much, Dr. Raj for making me understand pathology concepts! You truly are an amazing teacher!!!

everything 4 boards are covered and the narrator really gives main road of the subject

Great lectures. I like how Dr. Raj integrates other renal pathologies into his teaching of renal failure, rather than treating renal failure as a completely separate entity.

It´s a great review!! It catched me since his first words, Now I´ll take the entire course.

Pointer helps a lot with histology. The instructor was clear and concise.

As always, Dr. Raj’s lectures are clear, concise, and memorable. He has a unique, honed talent for explaining this material. I have been in school for a long time, and had many professors. I am not exaggerating when I say that Dr. Raj is the best medical lecturer ever formed.

His fluid, conversational presentation style really makes it stick. I do not want my classmates to know about him.

I don't like the use of acronyms when speaking because it is very distracting. Important content is all in the lecture which is a good thing, but I'd much rather use the pathoma videos for this topic.

Dr Meyer did a great job summarizing the major histological divisions of the GI tract. The lecture was clear and concise and really cleared up some confusion I was having.

It was great because I achieved to understand in detail a very complex topics. Thanks

The instructor is knowledgeable and makes the lectures fun. I love him.

Pointless explaining structures if it's difficult following which structure on the histological slide is being described. Pointer needs to be used.

Great lecture series. Very in depth and it ties physiology, pathology, and pharmacology all together

Dr. Raj is engaging, entertaining, and hits all the pertinent points of pathology. He presents things to make them understandable without feeling spoon-fed. Great professor and great lecture series.

The lecturer does a great job at keeping the presentation interesting, however he rushed over several points in the topics to the point in which he ignored some of the information present in his slides. Also, it feels out of place when he jumps to different topics that have little to nothing to do with the present lecture. Finally, the lecture feels SO rushed that he missed key aspects of the pathology of every desease he talked about, especially Potter Sequence and its etiologies.

i like his fun attitude to teaching. It works for me!

he has a pleasant voice, good tempo in speaking , clear explanations

Very knowledgeable professor who also understands to teach his subject in an accessible way. His course helped me a lot to get a good basic understanding of Histology

This guy is indeed the new professor Goljan. I am speechless. So much material covered.

Clear, concise and good lecture. The professor is very easy to follow, and does a good job emphasizing what he thinks important.

Liked but another lecture not opened yet so not liked

The excellent pictures helps a lot. Easy understanding. Very good professor.

clear teaching and repetition, thanks. Learnt a lot. Clinically useful. thanks

there is no subtitle and marks on the slide are not good enough to understand lecture

He teaches just not to pass our boards, but to become greater physicians! Dr. Goljan should be proud, this man is God sent!

Thank you for these organized, concise, and well-prepared lectures, Dr. Meyer !!!

A Well-done explanation of Lipid Absorption ! Thank You, Dr. Meyer !

best of the best! everything is well explained in a short time! saved me a lot of time and understood GIT so well!

very well explained! i enjoyed this lecture so much better than all other lectures of histology

questions don't go along well with the lecture sometimes questions pops out before discussed. AND please mark. i kept getting lost and try to figure which part you're talking about.

Helped me a lot understanding this subject! Carlo Raj's videos har really good.

Best lecture i have ever seen..concise with high yield topics.

Good very good,I like the lectures.Good very good,I like the lectures. Good very good,I like the lectures.

very detailed, clear, and professional. Related with clinic. I like his lectures very much.

This was a good course because the lecturer gave examples and explanations.

The material is valuable because it's clear and concise, but dr. Raj has an annoying and hard to understand accent and weird manner of teaching.

I really like Dr. Raj lectures but, why these videos don't have subtitles?

Very good lecture. Clear presentation, properly indicated so very easy to follow.

Difficult to follow many of Dr. Meyer's course because of poor marking of the area under discussion. Also, questions jump into the middle of lecture, very disruptive.

Very informative and organized , keep the good work Thank you

This is about the best lectures I have had all my life. I like it very much because the lectures are very explicit, The approach is fantastic. And the tutors are very experienced. They have a full grab of the subjects they teach. The team is like a conglomerate of experts from all fields of medical science. It has really helped in my studies in medical school. With Lecturio, there's no dull moment. It's actually a huge privilege for those of us studying Medicine and Surgery in Africa. I recommend Lecturio for everyone who want to excel in medical practice all over the world! Kudos to all the erudite tutors in the house! Hope to see more of you in Lecturio videos. You're all wonderful! From: APATA OLABANJI SYLVESTER COLLEGE OF MEDICINE UNIVERSITY OF LAGOS, LAGOS, NIGERIA. WEST AFRICA. (e-mail: olabanjiapata@yahoo.com)

Lecturio is a solid and highly efficient learning Platform. Dr. Raj is a seasoned communicator, and has just the right balance of serious professional demeanor, clarity of speech and concepts, and good humor you want in a Teacher. This lecture, like the others I’ve watched so far, is excellent stuff!

I understand, but I think, the lesson needs drawings and diagrams, but is very well, thanks

Congratulations once more, Dr. Raj. Learning is much funnier when lecturers have a good sense of humour. Explaining the management of Nephrogenic Diabetes Insipidus is not an easy task, but putting humour the middle of that is even harder. You succeeded very well in both tasks. I liked it specially when you said "go to the clinic, kickbutt and be hoisted by your collagues" after discussing the wise intersection of topics between pathology (bipolar disease, and its chronic lithium treatment) and pharmacology (amiloride). Ingenious!

It would be nice if the material was presented in a less intense manner. It feels more like he is prepping football players for a big game. It is very distracting. Perhaps, if the lecture didn't feel so choppy it would be more enjoyable.

So easy to understand, and dinamic i will recommend this lecture

Dr Raj is super cool!!!! I finally understood the concepts of transport and the respective pathologies!

Please replace Dr. Raj. I feel like I am being preached to and not reached! I believe he knows the subject matter but his delivery is not nice.

Good lectures, nice and understandable. Very good slides. I like the voice of lecturer.

It needs more clinical correlation with diseases in the IV fluids For example, when to use normal saline or when to use dextrose this will make our understanding better

Very informative, great lecturer, easy to understand and perks the interest throughout the videos!

Explained easily and good diagrams. Good at pointing out key concepts.

great great lecture!! thank you so much Dr. Raj :) one of the best lecture i have ever watched.. you made learning so much fun :)

Hi I liked it because it's concise and clinically related.I think more pictures of patients gross and microscopic demonstrations will be of great benefit.Also, more emphasis to differentiate them from glomerual diseases is encaraged

Clear explanation given by sir. He explains everything very clearly. Love his lectures ????

I enjoyed this lecture because the physiology was linked into clinical practice giving it context. Good use of questions as well.

What an amazing teacher, and just about right amount of information.

I would definitely recommend this course. Very concise yet informative - Dr. Raj provides you with all the pertinent information.

chose this rating cause dr. meyer's the best. (get rid of the minimum word number requirement, and the 'headline' requirement, and you will likely get a lot more feedback)

Great presentation, great explanations. At the end, finally, everything fits into their place! wonderful.

Dr Raj is outstanding, and these lectures are excellent. These are perfect for preparing for medical exams. Detailed, in depth, and concise, I am hugely impressed.

I like use Dr. Raj lecture series as my adjunct professor to my course work. I am visual learner and I supplement my readings with as many free lectures available.

Going through this lecture in its entirety helped me improve in this subject. I stuck with the program, and it payed off.

The talk was interesting but no clear explanation of how PKD gene causes cysts moreover no discussion over management of these patients

Very informative, I am currently in nursing school and I don't even need to read my text book except for the section of nursing care. Carlo Raj is amazing at teaching my favorite instructor here in lecturio! thanks!

thank you for the lecture! I really like how you repeat multiple times the important key facts. Also the presentation with comparisons and simple key facts instead of too much material is really nice. The best thing, you actually made me think through the whole lecture compared to just passively listen.

Dr. Raj transforms the Pathology course into medicine by integrating everything from Physio to Biochem. Literally, you feel like if you are in an actual clinical setting. Renal pathophysiology is delivered in a concise, serious but at the same time humorous way. At the end of the lecture I see Nephrology from a whole different perspective.

This video series has been excellent in preparing for my block exams. Not only does Dr. Raj go through the pathology, but he covers important concepts in physiology and integrates all this information in a very clear format.

Moves quickly and covers important points from several different angles.

I like how Dr. Raj actually link different diseases and explain the differential diagnoses. Thank you

I just like the way it is being delivered: smooth, flowing, clinically relevant and best of all with a great touch of humour! I just love it!

Actually it was hard job to do these lectures , good construction of slides and ideas orders ,with excellent knowledge of how confusing is born ....finally lecturer has presents lectures that in a way that sometimes need sense of humor , which is good ice breaker . i recommend more lectures regarding fluids management which was very informative and touch the clinical application .

Not only knowledgeable in the subject material but an eloquent speaker

these are great honestly can't start to describe how useful and easy to understand thank you!

Dr. Raj not only does Pathology, he ties the concepts of Pathology into Biochemistry and Physiology. After all, medicine is not about one system. In addition, Dr. Raj's knowledge and passion for the subject area keeps you attentive. I have learned so much, thank you!
