The Beyond the Pearls podcast, based on the Morning Report series from Elsevier, has been adapted for audio in collaboration with series editor, Dr. Raj Dasgupta, InsideTheBoards, and the volume editors of the Morning Report series’ five volumes covering Internal Medicine, Obstetrics and Gynecology, Pediatrics, Psychiatry, and Surgery.
Like the books in the series, the podcast uses an in-depth case dissection format and aims to deliver practical, concise and easy to digest information that is especially relevant for those studying for the USMLE Step 3, but students or others revising other USMLE or COMLEX exams will also find value.
Most episodes present a high-yield topic in a morning report or grand rounds format, and include must-know "pearls," an in-depth discussion of differentials and treatment, and assessment questions that support exam preparation. The Beyond the Pearls podcast also offers bonus episodes based on some of Dr. Raj’s most popular, highly-rated lectures.

Subspecialties: Acute Pancreatitis
Today's Case
A 44-year-old female presents to the emergency department with acute onset epigastric pain for the past 2 days, constant, with radiation to the back. Her eyes and skin “turned yellow” 1 day ago. She denies any fevers. The patient drinks one or two beers per week, does not smoke, denies nonsteroidal antiinflammatory drug (NSAID), use and is not on glucocorticoids. She denies any heartburn or acid reflux symptoms. She had right upper quadrant (RUQ ) abdominal pain that was colicky and worsened with food intake 1 week before, which resolved spontaneously after 1 day and she therefore did not seek medical attention.
