Mnemonics for CYP450 Drugs: Inducers (ASMR): Anticonvulsants, St John Warts, Modafinil, Rifampin Inhibitors (ABCDE): Antimicrobials (lots), Belly (Omeprazol, Cimetidine), Cardio (Amiodarone, Calcium channel blockers), Depression (SSRIs), Extra (Grapefruit juice)

I don't know if you'll ever realize the level of anxiety this video just quelled. Even though I clearly have a lot to review and understand nitty-gritty, this overview gave me hope and took me out of a pretty dark spot mentally! Thanks so much Santiago!!

@user-je7bj8zj9b Жыл бұрын

I completely second this. This is gold when it comes to the limited time to pass step 1.

Disclaimers / Corrections: I came up with this list through my personal experience: having answered around 15.000 questions from more than 5 qbanks + experience with the real deal, so it's not like any official list taken from the USMLE. I'll be adding in this comment any other extremely high yield topic I didn't think off while making this list: 1. In 30:07 it was supposed to say Cherry Red MACULA: NOT HEMANGIOMA. 2. For Immunology: CGD is also a very high yield primary immunodeficiency 3. In cardio: other High Yield ECGs: WPW and Hyperkalemia 4. Most of embryology is included in the other systems (example neonatal ARDS)... I’d just add pharyngeal pouches/arches, and embryological origins (Ex. They give you an adrenal insufficiency case and ask from which embryological layer or structure are the adrenals derived)

@@nghiapham1756 Actually, fairly typical if you are serious about learning medicine, and serious about USMLE, not extreme at all. What else would one do? Videos? Flash cards? Mnemonics? I have known some that knew such material inside and out and could not answer a proper clinical question to save their life. ;)

@thehigherevolutionary 2 жыл бұрын

@@FernandoChaves Although you commented months ago, this hit home. While I'm not going to be taking the USMLE for a long while, I've been a student instructor for Anatomy, Physiology, and Pathophys; I recently started practicing USMLE questions to see how well I do with what I've already mastered. Needless to say, while I've averaged about 70% in my current test bank, it was humbling. Facts just don't equal application. Now I've been focusing on clinical questions and my confidence in my answers has greatly improved and thankfully my accuracy.

So I clicked on this video just because I was taking a break from studying and wanted to watch something while eating. I found your voice to be monotone and I don't mean it in a bad way, perhaps I should use "MELO" instead, so that made me go into "autopilot" right away until I heard you say "A LOT OF FUCKING TREES" lmfaooo this brought back my attention to you sooo quick lollllll. Anyways I believe that things shouldn't be taken "TOO serious" and there should be a balance. This is why you caught my attention back into the video. I am so grateful that you shared your knowledge with us. This made me super happy. Thank you once again.

It really depends on your goal, timing, and specific set of conditions. However I do believe that aiming to use it as a checklist could be more helpful. Mostly because reviewing it in this way will feel like "I know most, so I'll concentrate of the few things I don't" instead of "Fuck, this is still too much"
