    Integumentary 1: The Itch is Real

    In this episode, a young woman buys a new bracelet, and within two days she’s dealing with an intensely itchy, blistering rash that keeps her up at night. What’s going on beneath the skin? We’ll peel back the layers — literally — to explore the immune mechanisms, hypersensitivity reactions, and how to tackle board-style questions that test your knowledge of anatomy, immunology, microbiology, and pathology.

    Microbiology 1: Pus Happens

    In this episode, we dive into a clinical case featuring a 25-year-old AMAB patient with a painful, swollen lesion on his left thigh. Through 4 questions across Anatomy, Physiology, Pathology, and Biochemistry, we’ll walk through the key features, connect them to what’s happening at the tissue level, and explore the basic science behind the body’s response to this kind of infection.

    Endocrinology 1: Milking the Truth

    What do a massive postpartum hemorrhage, an ‘empty’ space in the skull, and an inability to breastfeed have in common? We’ll find out today as we follow the endocrine aftermath of a postpartum hemorrhage and uncover how a single event can lead to multi-hormone deficiency.

    Pulmonology 1: Wheeze the Day

    In this episode, we dive into a condition where the immune system turns the airways into a battleground. You’ll hear how allergens trigger smooth muscle spasms, why eosinophils leave behind crystal footprints, and what changes in lung volumes reveal during an attack. Four angles—pathology, anatomy, physiology, and immunology—coming together in one wheezy case. Show Notes at www.variabilityscience.com/nplexonthegopodcast.
