My podcast 🎙️ where I teach medicine 🩺
I enjoy learning and teaching medicine, that´s why I created ´Med Mints´ Podcast, during medical school. I cover different topics from different specialties in a simple way. It´s available in any podcast platforms. Here´s a list of all the episodes I´ve made:
🧠 Neurology
Myasthenia Gravis
Feb 2021
Myasthenia gravis is an autoimmune disorder where the body attacks the muscle receptors that controls the voluntary movements and this leads to muscle weakness as usual.
Parkinson´s disease
Jan 2021
Parkinson´s disease is a neurodegenerative disorder where the neurons that release dopamine get damaged and that leads to problems like tremors, stiffness and slowing of movements.
Huntington´s disease
Jan 2021
Huntington´s disease is an inherited neurodegenerative disorder, where there is a progressive breakdown of nerve cells in the brain. It can lead to both physical and mental disabilities
Epilepsy
Dec 2020
Epilepsy is a neurological disorder where the brain activity becomes abnormal, which leads to recurrent seizures or periods of unusual behavior, sensations, and sometimes unconsciousness.
Guillain Barre Syndrome
Nov 2020
Guillain-Barre syndrome is an autoimmune demyelinating disorder where the body´s immune system attacks the nerves and this leads to progressive paralysis. It is the most common acute post-infectious flaccid para-lysis in the world!
Transverse Myelitis
Nov 2020
Transverse myelitis is a neurological disorder caused by inflammation across one level or segment of the spinal cord. This inflammation can damage myelin, the insulating material covering nerve cell fibers, leading to varying degrees of weakness, sensory alterations, and autonomic dysfunction
Multiple Sclerosis
Nov 2020
Multiple sclerosis is a neurological disorder where the body attacks the myelin sheath of the neurons in the central nervous system. It is the most common type of demyeliting disorders

🫀 Cardiology
Right to Left Shunt
Jul 2020
A right-to-left shunt is a heart condition where blood bypasses the lungs and moves from the right side to the left side of the heart, often due to congenital defects, leading to reduced oxygenation of blood circulated through the body.
Left to Right Shunt
Jul 2020
A left-to-right shunt is a cardiac abnormality where blood flows abnormally from the left side of the heart to the right side, often due to congenital heart defects, leading to increased blood volume and pressure in the right heart and lungs
Aortic Stenosis
Jul 2020
Aortic stenosis is a condition where the aortic valve in the heart becomes narrowed, restricting blood flow from the left ventricle to the aorta. This can lead to symptoms like chest pain, fatigue, and shortness of breath, and may require surgical treatment if severe.
Aortic Regurgitation
Jul 2020
Aortic regurgitation is a condition where the aortic valve does not close properly, causing blood to flow backward from the aorta into the left ventricle. This can lead to an increase in the volume and pressure in the left ventricle, potentially causing symptoms like shortness of breath, fatigue, and heart palpitations.
Mitral Regurgitation
Jul 2020
Mitral regurgitation is a condition where the mitral valve in the heart does not close properly, allowing blood to flow backward into the left atrium when the heart beats, which can strain the heart and cause symptoms like shortness of breath and fatigue.
Mitral Stenosis
Jul 2020
Mitral stenosis is a narrowing of the mitral valve in the heart, impeding blood flow from the left atrium to the left ventricle.
Pericarditis
Jul 2020
Pericarditis is an inflammation of the pericardium, the thin sac-like membrane surrounding the heart, often causing chest pain and sometimes accompanied by fluid accumulation.
Endocarditis
Jul 2020
Endocarditis is an infection of the inner lining of the heart chambers and heart valves, typically caused by bacteria, leading to symptoms like fever, heart murmurs, and in severe cases, damage to the heart valves.
Cardiomyopathy
Jul 2020
Cardiomyopathy is a disease of the heart muscle that makes it harder for the heart to pump blood to the rest of the body, potentially leading to heart failure.
