Case based online learning assignment for MBBS 2016 UGs, 3rd week of June 2020: 2 patients with pleural effusion 2 patients with ascites

Last week we had six case presentations recorded on video although the links are yet to be uploaded by our interns but we have 4 patients with serosal effusion data for analysis as to the cause and further possible solutions. 

This data has been collected and shared by some of our interns in their E logs linked 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:

1) Presented by Dr Sambodhi 2015 batch:

A 54 year old male patient came with Pain in the left side of the chest radiating to the back side since 2 days, difficulty in breathing since two days.

A few common questions for the 8th semester students

1) Where are the different anatomical locations for the cause of the problem described in each of the four 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 learn data capturing to create their own patient online records for analysis.
