MDSC 2101 (Endocrinology with Dr Geeta Kurhade Feb 2014)

Dear students,

Please know that memorizing is not learning.
When you are able to apply what you know to solve a problem (translating knowledge in to usable tools to resolve everyday  issues ) is true learning.

Having said this I suggest that we  use this funda in our PBL sessions.
If you agree please let me know and we can move ahead. Particpation is totally voluntary.

  1. Dr. K,
    Maybe our group can try it out for Problem 3, and see how it works.

  2. You are very welcome Mateus. Infact any of the PBL group can try this. I can help them to try it even outside the official PBL groups.
    I am sure you are liking the "messy PBL sessios which get "muddy" as we discuss ,but encourage you all to research more and in the process you all learn more.
    As I have seen that when we ask any one of student to explain and summarize to all of- it is taxing; but in the end leaves a feeling of self confidence in all of us.

  3. Imaging Therapeutics (ImaTx), Inc. from Foster City in Silicon Valley has received FDA marketing clearance for its OsDx™ Hip Bone Mineral Density (BMD) software system. Company’s image-processing software can provide an estimate of BMD from a conventional x-ray of the proximal femur in pelvic radiographs, which will make osteoporosis screening and fracture prediction much more readily available than the current DXA (dual energy x-ray absorptiometry) approach.
    a. Comment on BMD and osteoporosis
    b.post radiograph showing decreased bone density and typical osteoporosis.
    c post radiographs showing compressed vertebra and add comments
    d Post radiographs of various types of fracture femur and add comments
    e. post MCQS concerning calcium metabolism

  4. Yes, this is definitely an idea I am open to! I have never used a blog before so this would be very interesting :)

  6. On lab investigations for her various symptoms ( fatigue and intolerance to cold to name a few) she had low T4 , high TSH levels and reduced FTI.

    Name all the symptoms she is likely to have and discuss the underlying pathophysiology in her case.
