Continuing the 4th consecutive year of getting Acknowledged in First Aid for The USMLE Step 1: 2026, and miles to go before I sleep: FA is like a childhood friend; we might grow distant over time, but the memories never fade! And this friend remembers me for yet another year!
@DrDatta_AIIMS I am that “One Senior” who always suggest juniors studying from the “Standard Textbooks”. I always believe if you shoot for the moon, you’d land among the stars. There is no shortcut in Medicine. Study from standard textbooks, make your own concise notes. Revise frequently!
The Bernheim effect, also known as the Bernheim phenomenon or Bernheim syndrome
*A phenomenon that occurs when the ventricular septum of the heart bulges into the right ventricle:
*This can happen when the left ventricle is enlarged, encroaching on the right ventricle.
*It can also occur when the interventricular septum bulges into the right ventricle due to left heart failure and left ventricular hypertrophy.
*Symptoms of right-sided congestive heart failure may appear before signs of left-sided congestive heart failure.
*Bernheim "a" wave
The bulging of the interventricular septum can reduce the space available in the right ventricle, which increases resistance to right atrial emptying. This results in a large "a" wave.
*Whether or not Bernheim syndrome is a real entity has been debated since its description in 1910.
*Some argue that it is a side effect of other cardiac conditions.

🧵 Methotrexate: A Drug Born from Mistakes That Changed Medicine Forever
1/ When you hear Methotrexate (MTX), you probably think of Farber or Gubner. But the story actually begins in 1945 with Subbarow, an Indian-American scientist most people have never heard of.
