CT angiography for a hand injury

Palpable radial pulses do not exclude a vascular injury because the rich collateral network may lead to normal physical examination findings. Objective evaluation may be performed with the Allen test, in which there is compression and sequential release of the ulnar and radial artery to evaluate perfusion of the palmar arch. The gold standard imaging modality for vascular injury is conventional arteriography (shown), which can identify the precise location of injury. Noninvasive imaging modalities include duplex ultrasonography and CT angiography.

It’s been a while since the last time I blogged (or reblogged) stuff here.

Well, I was in the middle of studying pharmacological treatments for heart failure when these doubts suddenly came into my mind then I became worried/excited about my future.

I’m almost there. By the end of 2012 I will be graduating from medical school and I will have the “Bachelor of Medicine” behind my name. And then comes clinical years.

Why ‘doubts’? Because I don’t know what I’m gonna plan after I get an MD. It seems like the more you learn the more you understand that this is a very fully competitive field and I just seem to be losing my motivation lately.

(I call it pre-final mood syndrome which happens every six months).

My nursing notes.: Health. :

nursling:

“Health is not a commodity. Risk factors are not disease. Aging is not an illness. To fix a problem is easy, to sit with another suffering is hard. Doing all we can is not the same as doing what we should. Quality is more than metrics. Patients cannot see outside their pain, we cannot see in, relationship is the only bridge between. Time is precious; we spend it on what we value. The most common condition we treat is unhappiness. And the greatest obstacle to treating a patient’s unhappiness is our own. Nothing is more patient-centered than the process of change. Doctors expect too much from data and not enough from conversation. Community is a locus of healing, not the hospital or the clinic. The foundation of medicine is friendship, conversation and hope.”

David Loxtercamp, author of A Measure of Days: The Journal of a Country Doctor, as read in his interview with NPR’s Liane Hansen.

Brain aneurysm treatment. Coloured angiogram (blood vessel X-ray), in frontal view, of the head of a 49-year-old patient undergoing treatment for a brain aneurysm. A brain aneurysm is a dangerous swelling in a brain blood vessel. This treatment involves inserting metallic coils (black, centre) into the aneurysm. The X-ray is used to show the position of the coils, placed by electromagnetic controls, and a contrast medium shows the blood vessels (red). The coils cause clotting of blood in the aneurysm, and eventually the blood vessel reforms its wall. This technique is an alternative to direct surgery. The blood vessel being treated here is the basilar artery that supplies the base of the brain.

doctorswithoutborders:

MSF staff tend to a Somali mother and her child in Liben, Ethiopia. The thousands of Somalis who have left for Ethiopia in the last few months have done so mainly to escape drought and famine. The terribly overcrowded conditions in camps heighten the risk of epidemics. With food, water, and sufficient sanitation in short supply, many of the children need care for persistent diarrhea and respiratory infections.
