How to break down a USMLE Step 1 question, from MedSmarter with Dr. Jason Colip.

The attached video is the breakdown of another question regarding Pathology.

After a 65-year-old man with a progressive, chronic movement disorder dies, the family requests an autopsy. On gross inspection of the patient’s brain, the pathologist notes the presence of a deep brain stimulator electrode. The pathologist then obtains a tissue specimen of the basal ganglia for histologic analysis (see image) that stains positive for α-synuclein. From which disease did the decedent most likely suffer? 

A) Huntington’s disease
B) Guillain-Barré syndrome 
C) Pick’s disease 
D) Werdnig-Hoffmann disease
E) Parkinson’s disease 

We break down the concepts in simple terms in shorter videos so students can focus on the Educational Objective to get a deep understanding of the concept.

We help Medical Students pass their USMLE Step 1 Exams and provide Live and Live Online Review Courses as well as 1:1 Tutoring.
