Divine Intervention Episode 18 – Autonomic Pharmacology Part 1.

In this episode of the Divine Intervention Podcasts, we discuss autonomic pharmacology. This is often a difficult subject for people but it is actually fun and easy to understand with a “scenario based approach”. It is also HY to know this material for all the USMLEs and clinical practice/3rd year. This first part focuses on the physiology of the ANS (including receptors) and an integration of multiple pathologies (and other systems). My primary discussion of the drugs (in addition to their pharmacological mechanism of action) is a focus on “How can this be tested”?. This tends to be a more useful learning format. There are no attached slides as all necessary information is in the podcast.

In this episode, I discuss all the drugs that are tested in the context of Immunology for The USMLE Step 1 exam. I also go over all the monoclonal antibodies that are tested on the exam (basically every monoclonal that is found in First Aid for The USMLE Step 1, 2018). I discuss the mechanism of action and other HY tidbits related to these monoclonals. There are no slides for this podcast (all you need is in the recording).

Divine Intervention Episode 11-Glycogen and Lysosomal Storage Diseases.

In this episode, I review 2 high yield topics that are necessary for the USMLE Step 1 Exam; the glycogen and lysosomal storage diseases. I review glycogenesis, glycogenolysis, and some gluconeogenesis as well. There are no slides attached (all you need is in the podcast). I would certainly encourage you to keep these topics in mind with Step 1/2CK/Peds Shelf.
