This week's session, hosted by Amelia Rees (University of Manchester) and Surya Kollapudi (University of Plymouth) will serve as an introduction to the anterior chamber and uveal pathway and revise key concepts in anatomy, physiology and pathology aimed towards UKMLA level, with additional coverage of high yield Duke Elder content for those looking to take the exam next September.
Through the Gateway; Anterior Chamber and Uveal Pathway Dynamics
Description
Summary
Join this enlightening session hosted by Amelia Rees (University of Manchester) and Surya Kollapudi (University of Plymouth) to enhance in-depth understanding about anterior chamber and uveal pathway dynamics. This session promises a comprehensive revision of anatomy, physiology and pathology, designed for UKMLA level participants. It also offers valuable information on Duke Elder content for prospective examinees next September. Don't miss it!
Learning objectives
-
Understand the basic anatomy and function of the anterior chamber and uveal pathway, aiming to clearly differentiate between the locations, roles and interrelations of each component.
-
Review the physiological dynamics of the anterior chamber and uveal pathway, emphasizing the flow of aqueous humor, the behavior of the iris, and functions of the uvea.
-
Grasp the common pathologies associated with the anterior chamber and uveal pathway. This should include knowledge of symptoms, potential causes, and typical treatments for conditions such as glaucoma, uveitis and anterior uveitis.
-
Analyze a range of patient case histories and examination findings relevant to the anterior chamber and uveal pathway, practicing diagnostic reasoning and management approaches.
-
For those preparing for the Duke Elder competition, review and understand key, high yield content related to the anterior chamber and uveal pathway, increasing preparedness for potential exam topics.
