In this podcast, I conceptually explain the 5 different gaps tested on the USMLEs (Serum AG, Urine AG, Osmolal gap, SAAG gradient, and A-a gradient). I make numerous integrations and really help you understand these things so you don’t have to memorize them. Another point of emphasis (low SAAG ascites is similar conceptually to exudative effusions). If you’re interested in the Step 1-3 classes beginning next week, shoot me an email.

DIP Ep 602: Endocrine Thinking (Stimulation and Suppression Tests)
In this high yield podcast, I discuss confirmatory testing for a host of endocrine related pathologies.

Easily one of my highest yield podcasts to date. Please listen to this as many times as you can throughout your dedicated period. There will be numerous questions on your exam from this one podcast.

Pylori compared to something I stated a few minutes earlier in the podcast (metronidazole, not a macrolide).
