Three patients of Hemiparesis: Case based online learning assignment for MBBS 2016 UGs, 1st week of June 2020

Around last week we had three patients of hemiparesis admitted with us and our interns have shared it in their E logs below for the online 8th semester students to go through this week and answer some of the case related questions and also come out with their own queries:

A few common questions for the 8th semester students

1) Where are the different anatomical locations for the cause of the hemiparesis  for each of these patients?

2) What is the most likely pathology and etiology in that anatomical location?

3) What are the diagnostic and therapeutic options in such situations and what is the efficacy of each option/intervention?

4) Please share questions that come to your mind upon going through each of the cases.

Each 8th semester student will share their answers in their own E logs. Thanks to all the 8th semester students for previously sharing all their 200 web based logs that will remain as their 'online learning portfolios,' and will be very useful toward their formative assessment in the coming months and years.

Once the 8th semesters join hospital duties they will be expected to evaluate their own patients in the wards and create their own patient online records.
