Wow... this was really helpful, thanks!

[@tylerledgend]

For someone who has a bit of information on DNA and how the body works this video was helpful, thank you

[@safia1884]

Is there a typo in the video ? In the treatment paragraph it's written : NPC-A and NPC- B . Isn't it NPD-A and NPD-B ? Thanks for the video by the way it was very helpful for my peds exam

[@sagarboss2004]

Thanks

[@mahsayavari176]

What is the treatment for NP-C?

[@medicallifewithjohn8343]

Awesome

[@Dr-Roy]

Nice

[@ziaulhaque4008]

Great

[@hotaruishere2133]

I love how these videos make sense, but also don't make sense at all xD I have to watch them twice or three times to understand the concept, haha.
I'm sad that the third type wasn't covered in this video. But I do understand that they said that the third type could be considered its own disease.

[@maheethpattem5262]

watch next video

[@akshayjouhary3897]

Good job brother

[@osmosis]

Thanks! 💕

[@agustinacroci4121]

Great video! However I have a doubt, isn’t the cherry spot in the macula that is explained a sign of Tay Sachs instead of Niemann Picks’? Or does it appear in both? Thanks!

[@karimmohamed710]

it appears in both tay sachs and niemann pick diseases

[@SureshKumar-tu4vz]

It appears in both

[@diltajbegum5524]

it appears in both, the main difference in both diseases is that in Tay Sachs dx there is no hepatomegaly and spleenomegaly while in Neimann Pick there is hepatospleenomegaly

Great video but the voice has an unpleasant sharp pitch with a shouting stressing tone

[@aptdoc2]

Voice and narration not clear or distinct.

[@mredoward9858]

Osmosis sucks , you’re just reading , not explaining , everyone knows how to read !!!
