Cranial Nerves act like a crucial guide wire in a comprehensive neurological exam. The 7th Cranial Nerve - Facial nerve as we know provides motor innervation of facial muscles that are responsible for facial expression, parasympathetic innervation of the glands of the oral cavity and the lacrimal gland, and sensory innervation of the anterior two-thirds of the tongue. Dr. RN Sahay walks us through the assesment of facial nerve function, localising the lesions of the Facial Nerve and a detailed understanding of Bell's Palsy.

Understanding the VII Cranial Nerve : Lesions of Facial Nerve & Bell's Palsy

The most prevalent condition affecting the neuromuscular junction (NMJ) of the skeletal muscles is myasthenia gravis (MG). The classic presentation is a variable weakness, more pronounced in the late afternoon. Usually, the muscles in the eyes, throat, and extremities are involved. Muscle weakness results from the diminished electrical impulse transmission across the neuromuscular junction caused by the development of autoantibodies against the particular postsynaptic membrane proteins. MG can be triggered by a wide range of factors, including infections, vaccinations, operations, and medications. Numerous difficulties are brought on by myasthenia gravis. The acute respiratory paralysis known as myasthenic crisis, which necessitates critical care, as well as side effects from long-term pharmaceutical use, such as opportunistic infections and lymphoproliferative cancers, are among them. A complete understanding of the pathophysiologic mechanisms, clinical manifestations, treatment strategies, and complications of myasthenia gravis is necessary for better patient care and outcomes. Join us live with Dr. Sahay for this blockbuster live to understand about MG in depth.

Understanding Myasthenia Gravis: Diagnosis & Management

Cirrhosis is a consequence of chronic liver inflammation characterized by diffuse hepatic fibrosis and regenerative nodules.Progressive portal hypertension,systemic inflammation,and liver failure drive disease outcomes. Dr. Ravindra Nath Sahay, a prominent Physician and Professor of Internal Medicine (Retired), joins us LIVE on Medflix as we comprehend the disease burden, pathophysiology, and recommendations for the diagnosis and management of cirrhosis and its complications.

Liver Cirrhosis

Ascites is the most prevalent consequence of chronic liver failure. A complex chain of pathophysiological processes including portal hypertension and increasing vascular dysfunction leads to the production of ascites in the cirrhotic patient. Ascites development is a hallmark of chronic liver failure's natural history, and it predicts a dismal prognosis with a 50% mortality rate within three years. Complications such as spontaneous bacterial peritonitis, hyponatremia, and increasing renal impairment are common in patients with ascites. The quality of life and survival rates improve when cirrhotic ascites and accompanying consequences are properly managed.Join Dr. Sahay live as he walks us through the rational Mx of ascitis.

Ascites & its Rational Management

A traditional and widely used approach for linking neurological symptoms to specific brain regions involves identifying overlap in lesion location across patients with similar symptoms. However, this powerful approach is too complicated and we all have confusion with the tracts. Let's untangle all the tracts and CNS lesions with Dr. Sahay, who has an uncanny ability to make complex concepts simple.

Localization of CNS Lesions

The pandemic has taken toll on everything, specially medical education & training and resident doctors all across India got really little exposure of other cases like CNS. With this session, let's dissect one interesting CNS case with Dr. Ravindranath Sahay who is passionate about teaching young medicos and consultants & strongly believes clinical diagnosis of a condition.
