NOTES
– ENGLISH – International medical parlance is in English – Most visitors are NOT native English speakers. To facilitate understanding, English in many modules is spoken very slowly as well as repetitively.

– REGISTRATION is FREE – it is confidential and NECESSARY. The contents often include CLINICAL IMAGES and viewers are expected to uphold standards of RESPECT described in the process of registration.

– REGISTRATION versus SUBSCRIPTION – registered visitors have limited free access to contents – subscribers have full access to contents.

– CONTENTS – We seek to uphold the highest publication standards and quality assurance, including providing credits to authors, sources, dates/updates, completeness and accuracy, among other criteria.

Goals and Strategies

WHY

To promote “open eyes” – clinical skills to note signs and understand which are signals of clinical relevance.

WHAT

Show provocative illustrations (images and videos) to “open eyes” of clinicians and their ability to translate them into clinical signals.

WHO

The images are selected from contributions by experienced clinical geneticists. The editor is Professor Dr. Wladimir Wertelecki, a Pediatrician and Clinical Geneticists (search YouTube).

WHEN

Ongoing – generally, postings appear weekly.

HOW

Frequent postings of provocative images and videos illustrating  developmental landmarks and dysmorphic signs followed by interpretations of signs as signals. Concurrent emphasis on “Medical English”. Postings may consist of single or series of images (galleries), as well as video recordings. Some modules include interpretation of signs as signals and clusters of signals as syndromes. Larger modules may include hypotheses of pathogenesis, etiology and diagnosis.

NOT

CEO is NOT a source of information concerning syndromes, diagnosis or medical management. The aim of CEO is limited to an emphasis of provocative images and corresponding medical terminology. Occasionally mention is made of pathogenesis, etiology, diagnosis, prognosis, and treatments with the purpose of enhancing memorization and demonstration of relevance.

More "About Us"

CLINICAL EYE OPENERS (CEO) is a veritable clinical gallery of images and videos illustrating clinical signs interpreted as signals to accelerate the recognition of potential causes (etiology), mechanisms (pathogenesis), natural history (patterns of past, present and prospective symptoms and clinical prognosis) – CEO is NOT a source of information to formulate diagnoses or therapies.

NOTE: ACCESS BY OR SHARED VIEWS WITH MINORS IS TO BE AVOIDED – to some, clinical images may be disturbing or considered inappropriate.
