Data visualization

• Medical care in pregnancy - A timeline displaying the diseases, interventions, immunizations, and required screenings (y-axis) across the various weeks of pregnancy (x axis). Made with + . Code:

• Parasite lifecycle in humans - Where do parasites travel in the human body? Beginning with the mode of transmission (“0”), shows the order of infection (“1”, “2”, etc.) within organs with commonly-tested parasites on USMLE. Made using + +

• Motor spinal cord tract - A schematic of the descending (i.e. motor) spinal cord tract. Tip: Remember ‘motwor’ for the two-neuron motor system.

• Sensory spinal cord tracts - A schematic of the two major ascending (i.e. sensory) spinal cord tracts. The dorsal column-medial lemniscal (DCML) pathway carries fine touch, vibration, and proprioception. The spinothalamic (ST) track can be subdivided (not shown) into anterior (crude touch/pressure) and lateral (pain/temp) ST tracks. Tip: Remember ‘sensothree’ for the three-neuron sensory system.

• Mood and psychotic disorders - visualization comparing and contrasting mood (e.g. major depressive disorder + bipolar I) and psychotic (e.g. schizophrenia) disorders.

• Somatic symptoms and related disorders - A heatmap comparing the somatic symptoms and related disorders in psychiatry

• Ego defense mechanisms - Contrasting 4 commonly-tested pairs of ego defense mechanisms in psychiatry.

• Hemoglobinopathies - diagram demonstrating the relationship of hemoglobinopathies to the hemoglobin molecule (heme + globin). Made using .

  

• Dietary sugars - diagram demonstrating the different types of dietary sugars, and how they are each composed of 3 sugar building blocks (Fructose, Glucose, and Galactose).

  

• Extrapyramidal Side Effects (EPS) of Antipsychotics - diagram demonstrating the different extrapyramidal side effects and treatments associated with taking antipsychotic medications. Mnemonics included.
