"After One Year of Hard Work", what has been happening?

"After One Year of Hard Work", what has been happening?

The idea behind making this website goes back to early 2005. As we encourage free educational activities, and as we conduct many free courses per year to teach clinical neurology in our hospital, we thought that It is better to expand our work and target doctors by making a free website to deliver the neurology subject in a simple way. We invited Dr. O Amin to be the writer and the medical editor of the MRCP neurology questions.

After finishing the year 2006, Dr. Amin had written many wonderful mocks to update our website every now and then, and inspite of being too busy, he expanded the work to involve other specialties besides neurology; and these are (a total number of 1480 questions):
1- 8 Mocks for MRCP UK Part I (neurology).
2- 3 Mocks for MRCP Ireland Part I (neurology).
3- 3 Mocks for MRCP UK Part II with slides (neurology).
4- 720 Best of Fives for MRCP UK Part I (general medicine).
5- ECG book for MRCP UK Part II with Mocks (general medicine).

From April to Augest 2006, Dr. O Amin (who is now our Head of Team) had conducted 3 free Clinical Courses for MRCP Neurology, and we are thinking of "opening" such free courses at regular basis; we will advertise about them in the near future.

The year 2006 work is now gathered together and published here. We would like to thank all people who helped us make this work, and we welcome new writers.

We noticed that some of our best of five questions are being published at other websites without a prior permission from us; we don't mind as long as they are being used to teach others freely, but our website's and writer's name should be mentioned and credited (this is our copyright policy). Please feel free to download, print, and forward our PDFs to your colleagues.

Thank you for visiting our website.

The Moran Eye Center Collection offers a great space for neuro-ophthalmology. Personally, i found this website extremely useful. I has many medical pics and videos.
For example, many physicians are not familiar with "spontaneous venous pulsation" upon doing fundoscopy; please click here to see its video.
Don't miss it.

Subarachnoid Hemorrhage...

As I'm interested in stroke, especially subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH), I've read 3 articles in the new England journal of medicine; this topic is, unfortunately, full of pitfalls and many patients attending the ERs are being misdiagnosed as having migraine or tension-type headache. I would suggest reading these wonderful articles:
1- Aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage (Current Concept).
2- Avoiding Pitfalls in the Diagnosis of Subarachnoid Hemorrhage (Primary Care).
3- Intracranial Aneurysms (Review Article).
