In this educational program, explores various imaging techniques and delivers in depth explanations of the technical process, equipment operations and general image interpretation as applied to each scanning technology.
Designed to provide a comprehensive overview of individual medical imaging modalities, these programs are directed towards both students and general practice healthcare providers.
Discusses the recognition of the effects of concussion and traumatic brain injury in both modern and historical contexts. Looks at current statistics of brain injury in sports and recreational activities. Provides an overview of symptoms and pathophysiology of concussion and traumatic brain injury, as well as discussion on diagnosis, treatment and prognosis for recovery.
Reviews chronic traumatic encephalopathy (CTE). Reviews current research into concussion, including the use of anti-inflammatory drugs for the treatment of concussion and measurement of predictive visual tracking as a screening technique to identify mild traumatic brain injury.
Presents an overview of the pathogenesis of macular degeneration, its epidemiology and the various genetic factors involved. Discusses both neovascular and non-neovascular forms, along with non-age related macular degeneration (Best disease) and the currently recognized risk factors involved. Provides an overview of the most recent diagnostic procedures. Discusses current treatment options and the most recent studies involving immune system and neuroprotective strategies, surgical options, and stem cell transplants.
This program includes a brief history of the development of nuclear magnetic resonance and a Technical Aspects segment with an explanation of the interaction between magnetic fields and radiofrequency waves which produce MR images.
The Operations segment looks at pre-MRI procedure screening and a current overview of protocol considerations as well as the positioning of various RF coils.
Finally, in the Interpretation segment of the program we discuss the actual imaging sequences and provide general explanations of intensity for each sequence.

The human heart is amazing. It beats over 100,000 per day and pumps 15 gallons of blood throughout the body every minute Yet it is not infallible, and even today, with the emphasis on a heart-healthy life that encompasses a low-carbohydrate, low-salt, low-cholesterol, and fat diets, as well as routine exercise, heart disease is still the leading cause of death around the globe.
This program, on cardiac pathology will focus on a few of the most common disorders of the heart: coronary heart disease, acute coronary syndrome, angina pectoris, myocardial infarction, and heart failure.
After completing this course, the learner should be able to identify and describe the risk factors, pathophysiology, and symptoms of:

This program on cardiac pathology describes dysrhythmias of the cardiac conduction system, which is responsible for initiating and conducting electrical impulses to produce rhythmic heartbeats. Valvular heart disease is also described.
After completing this course, the learner should be able to identify the ECG waveforms and describe the following cardiac dysrhythmias:
Sinus bradycardia
Sinus tachycardia
Atrial tachycardias
Atrial flutter
Atrial fibrillation
Premature ventricular contractions
Ventricular tachycardia
Ventricular fibrillation
Heart blocks
In addition, the learner should be able to identify and describe the risk factors, pathophysiology, and symptoms of valvular heart disease.
Dr. Ellis begins by discussing the particular warning signs that accompany clinical anxiety and then discusses how pharmacology can be used as part of a comprehensive approach for treating anxiety. He defines pharmacology as: how a drug is made, its primary use (in this case for the treatment of anxiety) and its side effects. He describes the impact of medication on the body to reduce anxiety symptoms and the other possible side effects to the body's systems that may be affected. He discusses what clinical anxiety really looks like along with the accompanying characteristics such as constant worry, extreme rumination, and debilitating anxiety.
Dr. Ellis covers the psychopharmacology of bi-polar depression. He begins by defining depression and bipolar depression from a brain-based perspective. He provides a basic description of the bio-functions of the brain. Furthermore, he addresses how clinicians use, understand, and approach medications specific to the treatment of bi-polar depression.
Dr. Ellis defines and discusses clinical depression. He provides a basic explanation of brain functioning and how particular medications work within the brain to address depression. He discusses how a typical brain and body work and what happens in the brain and body when a client is clinically depressed.
