25.01.2022 Diagnosis? What is the name of this chest X-ray sign?

25.01.2022 Do ECGs look like random squiggly lines? Do you want to get a headstart or refresh on your HMA/AH1 knowledge so you can sound smart in front of your hospital tutors or consultants? Join us tomorrow at 5.30PM at WWLG02 for the second lecture in our 3-part ECG Lecture Series. This event features CardioSoc President, Aengus Tran, who will cover the diagnosis of myocardial infarction and ischaemia using ECG. Food will also be provided!... https://www.facebook.com/events/108736639782635/

24.01.2022 1st Lung shows a Simple Pneumothorax Pneumothorax is the collection of air in the pleural space. Air may come from an injury to the lung tissue, a bronchial tear, or a chest wall injury allowing air to be sucked in from the outside. Read more: http://www.trauma.org/archive/thoracic/CHESTpneumo.html... 2nd Lung shows a Tension pneumothorax Tension pneumothorax is the progressive build-up of air within the pleural space, usually due to a lung laceration which allows air to escape into the pleural space but not to return back to the lung. Positive pressure ventilation may exacerbate this one-way-valve effect. Read more: http://www.trauma.org/archive/thoracic/CHESTtension.html

23.01.2022 Hey, 3rd years! Getting palpitations thinking about ICE? Not really sure what the difference between an arterial and venous ulcer is?

22.01.2022 Hi everyone! Our cardiac auscultation night will be coming up THIS week, so we hope you are as excited as we are Food will be provided, so please RSVP so w...ell know how much food to cater! See you there!

21.01.2022 Spot diagnosis. What cardiac pathology does this patient have? Comment your answer below <3

19.01.2022 What is the Diagnosis? 52-year-old woman was seen at the outpatient clinic for adults with congenital heart disease. Cardiac auscultation revealed a single and loud S2 and a soft pansystolic murmur of tricuspid regurgitation. On clinical examination, clubbing of the toes was noted and cyanosis was present only in the lower half of the body, whereas her fingers did not present evidence of clubbing or cyanosis (Panel A). Using the same pulse oxymeter model simultaneously at he...r fingers and her toes while breathing room air, differential cyanosis (SO2 toes 80%, SO2 fingers 95%) could be confirmed (Panel B). On 10 L O2 via nasal cannula SO2 on the lower extremities remained unchanged, whereas SO2 increased in the upper extremities.

19.01.2022 Giant C-V Waves of JVP is a sign of Tricuspid Regurgitation. Jugular venous pulse reflects the pressure in the right atrium consisting of: a wave - "Atrial contraction" with Tricuspid valve open, precedes S1 ... c wave - "Bulging of close Tricuspid valve" into atrium. As such a tricuspid regurgitation will result in blood flowing from the right ventricle back into the right atrium and then the jugular vein during systole resulting in a "giant" c wave. x descent - "Atrial relaxation" with Tricuspid valve closed, precedes S2 v wave - "Atrial filling" with Tricuspid valve y descent - "Atrial emptying" with Tricuspid valve open Source: http://www.nejm.org/doi/full/10.1056/NEJMicm1103312
