Where did medslides.com go?
We were recently presented the topic of pre-op clearance. The presentation provided several classic teaching points on the topic and I was interested in reviewing items in the reference section in my own time. Unfortunately one of the referenced websites, http://medslides.com, is no longer available on the internet. The Internet Archive last crawled the page in June of 2004. While the collection of slides is both limited and dated, I was still interested in obtaining the files to see how much has changed. It turns out another site has mirrored the collection here. Hopefully this site won’t go down as well.
Pulmonary Tuberculosis
We’ve seen a rise in patients presenting with Tuberculosis recently. I’ve decided to put together a presentation on Tuberculsosis for an informal teaching session. While its not complete, I’ve started it and plan to have it done soon (fingers crossed). As before, an extensive references section will be made available for those wanting to do some research on their own.
Pancreatic Cancer: Advances in Treatment
I presented on the topic of advances in treatment of pancreatic cancer a few weeks ago in a talk that went well over an hour and a half. The aim was to give a very broad overview that touched on all the major points but I purposely left out the molecular pathogenesis (K-ras, EGF family, CDKN2A, P53, DPC4, BRCA, STK11, MLH1, MSH2, Sonic Hedgehog (SHH) signaling pathway, etc) because of time. Those are all very important molecules involved in critical pathways because of the potential for screening, early detection, and possibly (someday) treatment. The PowerPoint presentation below won’t be very useful as a learning resource on its own without my speaking notes. I’ll consider putting those up if I get a chance to clean them up. In the mean time, if academically inclined, the references section (last 3 slides) has a list of excellent papers and resources I consulted to put this together.
