Look Over My Shoulder Victor Cheng: Download PDF and Master the Skills of Case Interviewing

a lot of helpful comments already! I just want to emphasize one central point that candidates unfortunately nearly never understand when using Victor Cheng or Case in Point: these sources provide you with a very good basic toolbox in terms of which areas to look into for certain types of problems. However, they are very poor regarding HOW TO APPROACH a case and HOW TO DRAFT A ROADMAP for solving the case. This needs to be rooted in rigorous logic, and unfortunately the "framework learning philosophy" brought forward by, e.g., Case in Point, is the very reason why an overwhelming majority of candidates will not get an offer.

LGMD is mainly described as progressive weakness and atrophy of the hip, shoulder, and proximal extremity muscles, with onset in the second decade of life [9]. Considering the genetic and phenotypic heterogeneity of this disease, LGMD should be considered in almost all undiagnosed patients complaining of primary muscle weakness [10]. Certain clinical features of LGMD subtypes can serve as valuable diagnostic clues, such as extremely high levels of serum creatine kinase (CK) in LGMD 2B-F and LGMD 2I patients [11]. Other approaches such as muscle biopsy and muscle magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) may also help establish the clinical diagnosis [12, 13]. Moreover, genetic testing can provide accurate information for unambiguously establishing the genetic diagnosis, and it is currently available at a very low cost owing to the rapid development of sequencing techniques [14, 15]. Therefore, a comprehensive understanding of the genetic variability and clinical spectrum of LGMD is essential before precise diagnosis, treatment and reproductive counselling can be offered [2].

Our results showed that RTSA significantly improved forward flexion but was equal to ORIF in abduction (p = 0.03 and p = 0.47, respectively). However, RTSA was inferior in external rotation compared to ORIF (p

Compared to ORIF, RTSA resulted in a better forward flexion, comparable abduction, yet less external rotation in the operative treatment of three- or four-part proximal humeral fractures in patients aged 65 and older. Nevertheless, the overall shoulder function assessment using the Constant-Murley score showed no significant difference between the two interventions. Although RTSA was related to increased complications, the revision rate in RTSA was significantly lower than in ORIF. However, our evidence quality may be affected by either individual study bias, relatively small sample size, and/or high heterogeneity; thus, the results remain to be interpreted with caution. Given these facts, the choice of surgical procedure to treat three- or four-part proximal fractures should consider the outcomes, complications, revision rate, as well as the condition and circumstances (i.e. age) of the patients.
