MedLink Neurology Podcast is delighted to feature selected episodes from BrainWaves, courtesy of James E Siegler MD, its originator and host. BrainWaves is an academic audio podcast whose mission is to educate medical providers through clinical cases and topical reviews in neurology, medicine, and the humanities, and episodes originally aired from 2016 to 2021.
Originally released: December 5, 2019
In 2016, when we first launched the BrainWaves podcast, cryptogenic stroke was a poorly understood concept. Three years later, it remains poorly understood. But we are making progress. In this week's update of episode 10, we review the progress that has been made in the pathogenesis, diagnosis, and management of these patients.
Produced by James E Siegler. The original 2016 version of this show was also produced by Dr. Noah Levinson. Music courtesy of Josh Woodward, Julie Maxwell, Dan Lebowitz, and this group called E’s Jammy Jams. Sound effects by Mike Koenig and Daniel Simion. BrainWaves' podcasts and online content are intended for medical education only and should not be used for clinical decision-making. Be sure to follow us on Twitter @BrainWavesaudio for the latest updates to the podcast.
