25.01.2022 Amazon Apocalypse. Over 20% has been lost already, and deforestation rates are soaring under Brazil's right wing government. A documentary by DW Deutsche Welle https://youtu.be/YEb7F3DcE_k

25.01.2022 Eyeball (scleral) tattoo gone wrong!! The decision to walk into a tattoo parlor and have someone needle-inject ink into the whites of your eyeballs is a bad o...ne. If done as intended, the tattooist injects ink just under the surface of the conjunctiva, so it colors the sclera the white part of the eye. If the needle isnt in exactly the right place, the ink can be injected into the inside of the eye, onto the retina or into the tissue around the eye, causing terrible consequences. A 26-year-old man presented with pain, photophobia, decreased visual acuity and eyelid edema in the right eye after undergoing a green eyeball tattoo in a tattoo parlor. Four days later his symptoms worsened and he sought medical care. The patient reported that the green pigment used in the injection was diluted with isopropyl alcohol, distilled water and glycerin. A clinical diagnosis of orbital cellulitis and posterior scleritis of the right eye was made. The patient was admitted for hospitalization. Intravenous antibiotic treatment (ceftriaxone and clindamycin) and topical antibiotic (moxifloxacin) were started. 2 days later, oral prednisone was initiated. A right tarsorrhaphy was performed due to conjunctival exposure and after 3 days the sutures were removed, resulting in clinical improvement. The patient completed 7 days of oral antibiotic treatment and prednisone was slowly tapered for 30 days. Fifteen days after starting treatment, proptosis, restriction of ocular movements and chemosis resolved, choroidal detachment disappeared and visual acuity improved. The right lower eyelid developed a green pigmentation. Eyeball tattoos are done by non-ophthalmic trained personnel, which increases the risk of serious ocular complications like globe penetration and endophthalmitis. Nevertheless, long-term effects on the eyes and vision are uncertain, but in the worst case scenario could include the loss of vision or the eye. Regulations prohibiting the practice of these procedures are required, because despite warnings of multiple health risks, more people are looking to get this procedure nowadays.

24.01.2022 Its Flashback Friday! In 2002, the Western Cape high Court was faced with an unusual situation: an accused in a botched robbery, which had led to two murders, ...had a bullet lodged in his leg which the police wanted to get their hands on. The bullet was the only piece of evidence that could link the suspect to the incident, and the police wanted to perform ballistics testing on it. The accused, however, denied being involved in the robbery and steadfastly refused to allow the bullet to be removed, arguing that forcibly removing the bullet would violate his right to bodily integrity and the right against self-incrimination.

24.01.2022 X-RAY IMAGING FOR COVID-19! . Here are three chest x-rays from the same patient with SARS-CoV-2 pneumonia over time. On presentation (day 0), there are ea...rly signs of airspace disease, but by day 5, one can appreciate near total, pan-lobar opacification disrupting lung architecture and gas exchange to the point of needing mechanical ventilation. Although superinfection and interstitial edema can certainly confound the radiographic imaging, seeing x-rays like this every day is a reminder how quickly this disease can progress. . Im often asked is the x-ray getting better? by families. I use this opportunity to explain that day-to-day improvement is better ascertained through other means (oxygen requirements, secretions, etc.) as oppose to radiographic improvement which can trail behind by many weeks. For this reason, I dont order x-rays unless I feel theres an acute change (pneumothorax needing a chest tube, pleural effusions, etc.) . Share this clinical image, tag a friend, and drop me a comment with questions! . ----- Blog: https://rk.md Instagram.com/rishimd Facebook.com/rishikumarmd Youtube.com/c/rishikumarmd Twitter.com/rishikumarmd See more

23.01.2022 It's Flashback Friday!

23.01.2022 Today the final stage of the case against Julian Assange takes place at the Old Bailey, London. It is the most significant and consequential assault on the pres...s of our lifetimes: the US Government is seeking to extradite and prosecute a publisher for exposing its crimes. None of the people behind the murderous war in Iraq and Afghanistan have had to front a court, let alone face any consequences. But the publisher who exposed their cimes is facing a lifetime in jail. (Are you comfortable with that?) Bear in mind that Assange is being prosecuted exclusively for publishing the footage in 2010 that revealed the murder of Reuters journalists in Iraq by a US apache helicopter. Not for anythinig else. Not only was that publication clearly in the public interest - similar to leaks about the truth of the Vietnam war (see the Pentagon Papers) - but what Assange did was no different from what national security journalists do on a regular basis: collaborating with sources to obtain, and publish, documents in the public interest. Moreover, if the US Govt succeeds in winning its case to extradite Assange to the USA it will be the first time the Espionage Act has been used against a publisher who is not an American citizen. Are you okay for the US Govt to set this precedent? The British Government and judiciary are happy to as well, since the way they've conducted this case has been a travesty of justice. So whether or not this is allowed to happen will depend on how loudly we all stand up to defend the right of publishers worldwide to expose Government shitfuckery. Should Assange answer to questions regarding his conduct in Sweden? Yes he should - and given the opportunity to do so safely, he will be keener than anyone to have the chance to clear his name - but this case is completely separate from the extradition case, and the two should not be conflated - that's exactly what the US Govt is hoping will happen. Did WikiLeaks help Trump's election in 2016? Yes, it did - but what helped Trump's election even more was how shit Hillary Clinton was as a candidate in that election - and, again, this is completely separate from the extradition case and should not be conflated - again, that's exactly what the US Govt is hoping will happen. Now that we've acknowledged all that, let's focus on the issue at hand: defending a publisher from being prosecuted by the US Government for exposing that government's war crimes Hundreds have asked us to make a new Honest Government Ad to help people understand the situation. But the reality is that nothing has changed: the US Govt has produced no new evidence to justify its crusade to extradite Assange. So our last one is (sadly) pretty much still current. The only thing that *has* changed is that a publisher has been imprisoned in a maximum security cell without access to his lawyers for over a year since we made this video.

19.01.2022 Synthetic human angiotensin II (Giapreza) is an IV vasopressor approved for septic or other distributive shock states. Normally, renin is released by the kidney...s in response perfusion pressure in the renal arterioles, salt concentration at the macula densa, and sympathetic stimulation. Renin cleaves angiotensinogen to angiotensin I which, in turn, is further cleaved to angiotensin II by angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE - yes, the same ACE which is inhibited by medications like captopril and lisinopril). Angiotensin II stimulates the release of aldosterone and is also a potent vaso/venoconstrictor. . As a cardiothoracic anesthesiologist and intensivist, angiotensin II is a vasoactive agent I can use in both the OR and ICU settings for patients with profound vasoplegia refractory to more conventional therapies like norepinephrine, vasopressin, etc. Dosing starts at 80 ng/kg/minute for the first three hours followed by titration anywhere between 1.25 ng/kg/minute to 40 ng/kg/minute every 5-10 minutes. Given its extreme potency, I'll only infuse this through a central line. . The ATHOS-3 RCT showed patients with distributive shock who received angiotensin II versus placebo had a higher incidence of venous > arterial thromboses. This stresses the importance of adequate VTE prophylaxis. . Once cost becomes less of an issue, I think this is the perfect drug to offset ACE inhibitor-related vasoplegia we often see under general anesthesia. Also, given its a hormone involved with several physiologic pathways, its clinical indications may be further expanded in the future. . Have you seen angiotensin II used?

19.01.2022 Intraosseous (IO) access is a quick, relatively inexpensive, and simple route for obtaining central access in trauma and resuscitation settings when periphera...l access is difficult to acquire. When placing an IO line, care must be taken to avoid fractured bones, active infections, and patients with underlying bone pathology like osteopetrosis. In addition, IO access should be formally converted to central access within 24 hours if indicated. . The only times Ive placed IO lines have been in the ICU as my colleagues in the ED usually place them prior to emergent operative cases. With kits like the EZ-IO (pictured), I prefer placing lines at the proximal humerus (1-2 cm above the surgical neck) or proximal tibia (2 cm inferior to patella, 2 cm medial to tibial tuberosity). Its important to use the right needle size, make firm contact with the cortical bone, and feel a pop into the medullary bone space. An indicator line helps confirm that the appropriate depth has been achieved. . Once the IO needle is positioned, I aspirate bone marrow and then immediately flush lidocaine into the space since infusions tend to hurt more than the drill itself. Pressure bags are helpful when infusing large volumes through an IO too. Above all else, Im always looking for signs of extravasation and tense fascial compartments which could suggest an extramedullary infusion or bone injury. . Tag a friend who should know about intraosseous (IO) lines, let me know if/where youve seen them used, and drop me a comment with questions! . ----- Blog: https://rk.md Instagram.com/rishimd Facebook.com/rishikumarmd Youtube.com/c/rishikumarmd Twitter.com/rishikumarmd See more

18.01.2022 Currently, paramedics are not given any instructions or guidelines regarding where to position their equipment bags around the patient during out-of-hospital C...PR. This is a statement from a recent study performed on gear placement for pre-hospital professionals responding to out-of-hospital cardiac arrests. The study found that allowing EMS personnel to place their equipment in random places around the patient leads to decreased CPR performance and ultimately increases risk of a poor outcome. Key takeaways for EMS: Research PitCrew CPR/High-Quality CPR models and implement into your protocols. (The Resuscitation Academy is a great resource) Practice/Train using this team-based approach and place the equipment in the same position each time. Dedicate responsibilities to each position of the code team so each team member knows what to do with minimal on scene communication. Read the full study here: http://ow.ly/m5uw30qUmt2

17.01.2022 Result of a Malayan Pit Viper Bite! The Malayan pit vipers venom is only fatal in about 2 percent of cases. But victims of this snakes bite often have to ha...ve limbs amputated due to tissue necrosis. Snake venom contains several enzymes, nonenzymatic proteins, and peptides, which can cause local edema, blisters, and skin necrosis. Antivenom is the only effective treatment to prevent death in severe cases. However, it carries a risk of anaphylactic reaction, and so antivenom usage should be approached with extreme caution.

15.01.2022 Picture showing a severe frostbite! Frostbite occurs when exposure to low temperatures causes freezing of the skin or other tissues. The initial symptom is typi...cally numbness.This may be followed by clumsiness with a white or bluish color to the skin. Swelling or blistering may occur following treatment. The hands, feet, and face are most commonly affected. Complications may include hypothermia or compartment syndrome. People who are exposed to low temperatures for prolonged periods, such as winter sports enthusiasts, military personnel, and homeless individuals, are at greatest risk. Other risk factors include drinking alcohol, smoking, mental health problems, certain medications, and prior injuries due to cold. The underlying mechanism involves injury from ice crystals and blood clots in small blood vessels following thawing. Diagnosis is based on symptoms. Severity may be divided into superficial (1st and 2nd degree) or deep (3rd and 4th degree). A bone scan or MRI may help in determining the extent of injury. Prevention is through wearing proper clothing, maintaining hydration and nutrition, avoiding low temperatures, and staying active without becoming exhausted. Treatment is by rewarming. This should be done only when refreezing is not a concern. Rubbing or applying snow to the affected part is not recommended. The use of ibuprofen and tetanus toxoid is typically recommended. For severe injuries iloprost or thrombolytics may be used. Surgery is sometimes necessary. Amputation, however, should generally be delayed for a few months to allow determination of the extent of injury. #medicalcreations #resident #medicine #surgeon #medschool #medstudent #womeninmedicine #medicalstudent #nurse #nursing #medico #study #surgery #medicina #plasticsurgery #orthopedics #scrubs #futuredoctor #frostbite #blood #foot #toes #amputation

15.01.2022 In 1999 I started African Reptiles and Venom to supply snake venom for SAVP our antivenom production company. As I live between Johannesburg and Pretoria, the t...wo largest cities in South Africa, the people soon heard about what I was doing and they would coming visiting me out of the blue. The amount of time that was wasted due to these visitors asking me about snakes got me thinking about compiling a snake course. By January 2000 the course was ready and I started doing snake training courses. This training has taken me all over Africa mainly to remote mines. Here, they have snake encounters and it becomes prudent to mitigate health and safety issues with this training. The venom supply is how this company African Reptiles and Venom started but by a stroke of luck the need for training came along. This was a blessing because I soon found out that there just wasnt enough money in the venom supply. Somehow the expenses exceeded the income and it was a good thing there was extra income from the training courses. The supply of venom is actually my social contribution for the people of Africa. The reason I say this is because the cost of production for the venom is not covered by the income I receive from the venom. I have a 75% shortfall annually. This shortfall is covered by the income from the snake identification, snakebite treatment, and venomous snake handling courses. What this means is that if you want to make a contribution to the production of our antivenom you can do so by doing a snake course with African Reptiles and Venom. Our next course date is Saturday 26 September 2020. We hope to see you here on that day. Contact [email protected] for more information.

Keeping things simple, -1 mediates systemic/pulmonary vasoconstriction, -1 aug...ments chronotropy (heart rate) and inotropy (contractility) and -2 causes vasodilation in smooth muscle beds. Keep in mind that agents like dopamine and epinephrine have a dose-dependent efficacy across multiple receptors. . It's important we understand the adrenergic receptor profile of these pressors/inotropes to know how to best utilize them as single agents or in combination with each other to offset side effects. . Keep in mind that this diagram doesn't include many important agents like vasopressin, milrinone, angiotensin II, calcium, inhaled pulmonary dilators, etc. Also keep in mind that textbook and clinical medicine are two very different entities - some patients do better with certain medications than others. .

We can see how the chordae tendineae interact with the ALMV and PLMV and the papillary muscles (PM). You can also see muscular columns lining the LV known as trabeculations. . As blood exits the LV through the aortic valve (AoV), you can see the ostia of the right coronary artery (RCA) and left main (LM) coronary artery while traveling up through the ascending aorta into the aortic arch (notice the ostia for the three great arch vessels - innominate artery, left common carotid artery, and left subclavian artery). .

10.01.2022 Orthotopic heart transplantation (OHT) is one of my favorite procedures as a cardiothoracic anesthesiologist! After establishing general endotracheal anesthesia... (GETA) with standard monitors, an arterial line, a central line with a PA catheter, and transesophageal echocardiography (TEE), the remainder of the procedure is carefully coordinated with the transplant team procuring the donor heart. Minimizing the time the heart spends outside of a body (the "ischemic time") is incredibly important! . Cardiothoracic surgeons typically begin with a midline chest incision followed by sternotomy and pericardiotomy. After the patient is systemically heparinized, the ascending aorta is cannulated followed by a separate superior and inferior vena caval cannulations ("bicaval" venous cannulation). Cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) is initiated once the donor organ is "nearby" but the recipient's heart is not actually explanted until the donor heart is visualized. . The simplest way to think about an OHT is in terms of the actual connections to the right atrium (RA), right ventricle (RV), left atrium (LA) and left ventricle (LV). The RA is connected to the SVC and IVC, the RV to the pulmonary artery (PA), the LA to the pulmonary veins, and the LV to the ascending aorta. . Most commonly, I've seen a cuff of the native left atrium containing the pulmonary veins sutured to the donor left atrium. Often times the ascending aorta anastomosis is created next to allow de-airing via an aortic root vent and reperfusion by removing the aortic cross clamp. Finally, the right-sided anastomoses are completed (SVC, IVC, and PA), CPB cannulas are removed, purse-strings are tied down, and protamine is administered to reverse heparinization. .

07.01.2022 In a groundbreaking judgment with respect to children, the South Gauteng High Court has declared that section 4(b) of the Drugs and Drug Trafficking Act 140 of ...1992, as amended is inconsistent with the Constitution and invalid to the extent that it criminalises the use and/or possession of cannabis by a child. The judgment came about after an urgent review concerning 4 children who appeared before magistrates having been alleged to have committed offences referred to in Schedule 1 of the Child Justice Act. They had all tested positive for cannabis which tests had been performed at school. They were accordingly alleged to have been in possession of cannabis. The Honourable Justice Opperman wrote that "criminalising children for cannabis related offences, even under the guise of prevention and/or deterrence, will have a profound disproportionate negative effect on them. The criminalisation, moreover, is a form of stigmatisation which is both degrading and invasive. Children accused of such offences risk being labelled and excluded by their peers in circumstances where as a society, we have accepted this type of behaviour." #Beinformed #OpenAccess #FreeLaw #Dagga #Childrensrights Read the full judgment on SAFLII: http://www.saflii.org/za/cases/ZAGPJHC/2020/170.html
