Dr. Minass, I remember watching your videos back in 2018 when I was a first year student trying to understand embryology for my anatomy exam. Today I'm back on here as a final year medical student, revising facial embryology because of cleft lip/ palate for my pediatrics exam!! Just wanted to thank you for making it so simple for all of us, and happy holidays to you!
Thank you Dr Minass, after 9 years of graduation from dental school i am taking a look back at Embryologie and i can tell that Embryology of the face had never been better explained thank you
Minass, thank you for doing what you do. You helped a poor medical student who's behind on their studying. I have a discussion about development of the face tomorrow.
Very good but can you try to zoom in the pictures when you're explaining? I can't seem to see what is written on the board🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾 please? Thanks!!!!!
I have the notes available for free download from Facebook, feel free to join the group and you can interact with people, ask questions. But if I ever get a cameraman, i will ask him to zoom in to the images 😆
I’ve been watching your channel on embryonic development. It is really great. I do have a back ground in biology even though I do not have a degree in this field. I’ve been using your work as an aid in writing about my personal life experiences. It is my hope that this will be a aid in help people would fall into the intersex body development type to find answers. Over a year ago I wrote you about the male sexual development video you did. At that time I indicated that I was going to have two more surgeries related to needed repairs on my body from testicular / ovarian type cancer and the failure of my gonads to develop fully. One testis developed as a germ cell teratoma, ovotestis sort of mishmash testis meets Frankenstein organ. The other testis did mature as a testis but only matured to about half of normal adult size. Not sure just why this testis never fully reached the adult size? In as much as my alphafeto proteins were are 10200 at one point in my life I think maybe having this high levels caused the testis growth to be limited. None of my doctors could speculate on this. I’m surprised at the large number of people I’ve encountered over the years who have similar issues as myself. In the small community we live in there was a fellow who was under going chemo and surgeries at the very same time as myself. We used to have coffee together during this time. His mother took DES during his gestation as well as my brother in law who also had a teratoma germ cell in place of his testis. Have you seen this happen ? I did marry and have been married for many years despite me having difficulty in having sexual relations. I have hypogonadism and gender dysphoria. Go figure. Lol Well we make our lives work and are still madly in love. At least I was born with the love gene and a great sense of humor. Keep up the great presentations.
Yes I remember you David. You're a bit of a hero having to deal with all of that to be honest - and still keeping your sense of humour, finding a wife and happiness. The book your writing would be very interesting. I haven't yet experienced someone quite like you yet, and I don't have the answers you have been asking your doctors either. Just a question, why do you think you have gender dysphoria? Is it because you identify as a female despite having mostly male organs, or is it because the way you were born, with both female and male organs, subsequently made you confused as to "knowing" which gender you were?
Minass I wish I knew just why I’ve seen myself as more female than male. By age eight I knew somehow that I wasn’t a male but more of a hybrid of sorts. For me it was more or less simply a fact of who I was. It wasn’t until I had surgery to bring my right undescended testis into place that things started to take a nasty turn. Even though nothing was said to me at first it became clear that there was more going on that was not conveyed to me by the doctors. A child in the next bed had surgery for the same thing I did accept he had both of his testis operated on. I never spoke to him as he was kept drug the few days that he was there but the doctors made no attempted to hide him from my sight. A few days after our surgery a women I had never seen before walked over to my bed and asked me if I was being nice to this child. She scared me and I could only manage to nod my head yes. She then went on to say that they had saved me from becoming a girl but couldn’t save him from becoming one. She finished and walked out the door without any additional explanation of what she was talking about. My mind raced and I thought that maybe she knew my secret that I felt I was deep down a girl and maybe this child too was being punished somehow. I know this sound odd but I was a very young child when this happened. The point is I did not know that they could even change someone’s gender or why someone would. A short time later he was wheel away to surgery and I never saw him again. I suppressed these events until I married my spouse and then told her about it. I did feel I was a women but never acted on those feelings. Then starting in my early twenties I started to feel pregnant in addition to feeling female. We even joked about me feeling pregnant all the time. To be honest it felt good. Well many years passed and about twenty years ago these feelings were becoming very strong and it was at that point that that useless testis that had been surgically brought down began to grow. I mean it grew at a very rapid rate. I went to my doctor and suggested that maybe it could be a teratoma or cancer. He said no it wasn’t and told me to come back in a week or two. When I came back he still didn’t do anything and told me to come back again. After my third visit he still refuse to do a alphafeto protein tests but did contact a radiologist to do a ultrasound. When I went in for this women to do this ultrasound she was clearly dying of embarrassment. When she started I could see a tumor on the monitor that filled the whole scrotum and even extended into my lower abdomen. When I pointed it out she said that it was a hydrocele or fluid and nothing more. As I turned to challenge her in her assessment I saw a fellow standing hiding behind a door leading in the next room. He had been there the whole time. I did say a anything I just got up and walked out the door. I was so embarrassed that I never spoke of this again. A week later my doctor called and said that there wasn’t anything wrong with me accept that there was just a little fluid. I wait another few weeks and went in once more accept this time I demanded this testis be surgically removed. He said I was over reacting but indicated he would call the surgeon. Two weeks later the surgeon called and said he would take it out but only if he could do it after the holidays and then only if he could do it using a local. When I went in he gave me two shot in my abdomen and when he cut me open a tumor erupted from the wound. I was wide awake. He just kept on shooting pain medication ahead of his cutting until he freed a 10cm malignant germ cell teratoma. I was pregnant! A second 17.5cm was removed four months later a the Mayo Clinic. I’ve never gone back to that first clinic. I was given on a few months to live but I managed to survive a living hell. In time the feeling of being pregnant when away but not the gender dysphoria. I left out so much detail but you get the idea of what happened. Accept that I never sued anyone. It happened and that was that. I lost a good eight months of work a untold pain. But the self discovery was worth it all. Now maybe you can see just why I’m driven to write and study this.
@@davidmicheletti6292 Thats really interesting. So many more questions but I'll have to wait for your book to be printed to find out. Make sure you send me a copy when you're done!
@@minass wow Alsalam Alykum (Hello in Islamic language🌷) How are you gentlemen I also remember you both that I want these books after they would have been printed if u could!
Thank you so much! This video helped me a lot studying for a college exam. This part of the subject I find it very complicated, but your video made it really simple, visual and fun! 😃
I have just started studying after graduating BDS 4 years back so basically I was very much lost. But your video really explained the initial development so easily! After going through it 2 times, things are almost embedded in my head Yay! Will definitely follow for more content.
4:10 who did what to who?😂 Also, isnt it supposed to be that the nasal placodes invaginate into the underlying *mesoderm* to form the nasal pits. Not ectoderm 5:29
This should clear it up for you, watch it all: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-wyksogsIwt4.html Nasal placodes invaginate to the mesoderm from ectoderm
When you state the weeks when developmental stages occur (week 5, 6 etc)...is that week since LMP (LMP being week 1) or week since fertilization/ovulation?
This video is a life saver! My surgery professor gave us a very complicated demonstration of the development of the face and I could barely grasp a what he said, although a few years ago I did study this in detail. Thanks for the great help.
I just started med school and I was struggling to understand this process. Such an amazing class I had right now! thank you so much for this!!! much helpful
Thank you for this excellent video! As a plastic surgery resident, I found your explanation of the embryology of the face and palate incredibly clear and informative. The detailed insights you provided are invaluable for my studies and future practice. Keep up the great work!
Your classes are simply osm...😘😘..easy to understand...it gives me the clear idea ..🥰..thank you so much....keep uploading more vedios.... ❤️From INDIA
great content with good intention for it is the noblest of work to educate the people it would be much easier to understand if the pictures were a bit bigger. and there is a little problem with the fluency of the lecture you can overcome that with 1 or 2 prova best wishes from turkey
