Ocular penetrating screw injury!!

Ocular penetrating screw injury!!

This patient presented to the emergency room with an errant screw in his eye, sustained while putting up wall frames. His exam was remarkable for a large screw embedded in the cornea inferotemporally with associated edema. He was taken to the OR for screw removal and corneal wound closure. His post-op exam was Seidel test (used to assess the presence of anterior chamber leakage in the cornea) negative with a slightly displaced pupil. As of his most recent examin exam, his best corrected visual acuity (BCVA) was 20/50 and he had a visibly significant cataract. His last K sutures were removed and have allowed 1-2 months of recovery for the cornea to stabilize prior to cataract surgery.

Iris Split in Half

Iris Split in Half

The condition is known as sectoral heterochromia. It means that only a portion (or sector) of the iris of one eye has a different color than the rest of the iris of that eye. The condition is rare and typically doesn’t have any other significant symptoms or problems. But how captivating it is to look at! Also known as Heterochromia iridum. It may be part of a genetic condition. It may also be a growth (iris nevus) or occur after an eye injury. In rare instances it may be seen with other disorders.

Introduction: Neuroanatomy Video Lab - Brain Dissections

The regions and lobes of the brain are identified along with some of the nerves and vessels. The basic functions of the cortex of each lobe are introduced along with principal sulci and gyri. The importance of the left hemisphere for language and the temporal lobe in memory are mentioned along with the concept of cortical localization. A classical frontal section is used to demonstrate gray and white matter along with the primary internal structures. This is one of a series of 26 videos to be viewed in the suggested order or intermixed with other curricular materials.

Waardenburg Syndrome

Waardenburg Syndrome

Waardenburg syndrome is a very rare genetic condition occurring in 1 in 40,000 people. It’s named after a Dutch ophthalmologist, D. J. Waardenburg, who first identified the syndrome in 1951. The different-colored irises are among the common signs of Waardenburg syndrome, since it affects the pigmentation of hair, skin, and eyes. Other common symptoms are changes in vision and hearing loss. It's an auosomal disease characterized by varying degrees of deafness, minor defects in structures arising from the neural crest and pigmentation anomalies of the hair, the skin and/or the iris of both eyes.

Extracted tooth with the nerve root still attached!!⁣

Extracted tooth with the nerve root still attached!!⁣

⁣ The tooth has a complex structure, it has two anatomical parts; the crown and the root. The crown is normally visible in the mouth (above the gum line). The shape of the crown determines the function of the tooth.⁣ The root of a tooth is the part embedded in the jaw. It anchors the tooth in its bony socket and is normally not visible (below the gum line). The gum line is where the tooth and gums meet.⁣ ⁣ The periodontal ligament is responsible for attaching the tooth to the jaw bone. It is made up of thousands of fibres which fasten the cementum to the bony socket. These fibres anchor the tooth to the jaw bone and act as shock absorbers for the tooth, which is subjected to heavy forces during chewing.⁣ ⁣ Tooth pulp is originating in the center of the tooth, underneath the enamel layer (the top layer) and the dentin layer (the second layer), in the pulp chamber.⁣ Tooth pulp is soft and consists of living blood vessels, connective tissue, and large nerves. Also commonly referred to as the nerve, the pulp branches out and continues down each root through the canals of the tooth and stops just shy of the apex, or tip, of the tooth.⁣ ⁣ There are plenty of conditions causing extreme, growing, sharp, shooting, or throbbing tooth pain originating from nervous stimulus. Among them are pulpitis (pulpal inflammation) and abscess formation.⁣ Dental (periapical) abscesses are an acute infection of the periapical tissue around the root of the tooth. ⁣ Dental caries result in damage to the tooth enamel, which allows bacteria access to the dental pulp. From here the infection spreads down the root canal and out of the apical foramen where abscess formation occurs.⁣ Dental abscesses can exert pressure on the root of the tooth, which contains the neurovascular bundle, and can lead to devitalisation of the tooth.

Doctors at Johns Hopkins have attached a new ear to a patient that was grown on her own forearm.

Doctors at Johns Hopkins have attached a new ear to a patient that was grown on her own forearm.

In 2008, Sherrie Walters was diagnosed with aggressive basal cell cancer, and had to have part of her ear, skull, and ear canal removed. But she has been the first patient to receive a new procedure that uses rib cartilage to build an entirely new ear, spearheaded by Dr. Patrick Byrne, a plastic and reconstructive surgeon. The new ear was then placed under the skin of her arm for months to grow. Which is incredible! Reconstructive surgery like this is one, among others, is one of the best and most human uses of all the scientific might we have at our disposal. 📷•Medicogram• #letslearn #plasticsurgery #surgery #anatomy #health #medicine #implants #patients #hospital #medicogram

Umbilical hernia

Umbilical hernia

Umbilical hernia is when small intestine or fatty tissue pushes anteriorly-out through the abdomen close to your belly button. •Cause: The weakness may be due to underdeveloped connective tissue or a muscle of the abdomen. In adults, too much abdominal pressure can cause an umbilical hernia. Possible causes in adults include: 1) Obesity. 2) Multiple pregnancies. 3) Fluid in the abdominal cavity (ascites). 4) Previous abdominal surgery. 5) Chronic peritoneal dialysis. •Treatment: umbilical hernia can be treated with surgery to push the bulge back into place and strengthen the weakness in the abdominal wall. The operation may be recommended for your child if the hernia is large or hasn't disappeared by the time they reach four or five years old.

Liver (anatomy) - love your liver

We've been rummaging around in the abdomen so let's have a look at the anatomy of the liver - lobes, ligaments, cells, histology, blood vessels, a little about the functions of the liver, embryology, a brief nod towards portosystemic anastomoses, and no doubt a bunch of other stuff.

How to get rid of a cyst caused from injection on arm?

This photo shows frostbites of a climber who almost lost his toes while trying to save an injured teammate, climbing Mount Everest! Frostbite is an injury caused by freezing of the skin and underlying tissues. First your skin becomes very cold and red, then numb, hard and pale. The hands, feet, and face are most commonly affected. The underlying mechanism involves injury from ice crystals and blood clots in small blood vessels following thawing. Severity may be divided into superficial (1st and 2nd degree) or deep (3rd and 4th degree). The diagnosis of frostbite is usually made based on signs and symptoms, the appearance of the skin, and a review of recent activities in which you were exposed to cold. The doctor may conduct tests, such as an X-ray, a bone scan or an MRI. These can help determine the severity of the frostbite and check whether bone or muscle is damaged. Minor frostbite can be treated at home with basic first-aid measures. For all other frostbite, after appropriate first aid and assessment for hypothermia, treatment may involve rewarming, medications, wound care, surgery and various therapies, depending on the severity of your injury.
