Complexity and chronic pain*
*Persistent didn’t alliterate so well!
I’ve been pondering what makes persistent pain so complicated? What is it about this problem that means clinicians use terms like ‘heart-sink’, or ‘problematic’, or ‘difficult’ when they talk about people living with pain?
While nociception and all the associated neurobiological processes associated with pain are undoubtedly complex (and poorly understood), I don’t think this is what people mean when they describe chronic pain is complex. After all, there are loads of body systems and disease processes that are complex.
I...

Basics of Echocardiography
Transcript of the video: Echocardiography is now not restricted to the echocardiographic laboratory. It is used in the emergency department, at bedside, in the intensive care unit as well as in the operating room. Hence a basic knowledge is needed for all physicians and paramedics. During echocardiography, a transducer transmits the ultrasound beam towards the heart. Echoes received by the transducer from various structures of the heart are analysed by the echocardiograph and a graphical representation
displayed on the monitor.
Location of the transducer is at the top of the image sector. Structures nearer to the tr...

Breaking News: Judy Faulkner from Epic Sneezed
We just got a special report coming out of Verona, WI that Judy Faulkner sneezed. Our source which wanted to remain confidential for fear of retribution said that they were walking down the hall of Emerald City office and as they passed a conference room, they heard someone sneeze. Once they heard the startling noise, they looked up and saw Judy Faulkner with her hand to her mouth.
Those at Epic said that Judy’s sneeze was spreading like wildfire on the internal Epic Teams channel. Employees weren’t sure what the sneeze meant and they were trying to help each other process such a reaction from the visiona...

Arterial Switch Operation
Transcript of the video: Arterial switch operation is the ideal corrective surgery for D-Transposition or dextro transposition of great arteries, if it can be detected early in life. As the left ventricle is facing the pulmonary artery in dextro transposition of great arteries, if there is a delay beyond two to three weeks of life, there is possibility that the muscle mass of the left ventricle can regress, so that, later if arterial switch operation is done, it will not be able to face the systemic vascular resistance and it will fail. That is why, arterial switch operation has to be done very early in life. For the same ...

A 50-something with chest pain. Is there OMI? And what is the rhythm?
Written by Willy FrickA man in his 50s with history of hypertension, hyperlipidemia, and a 30 pack-year smoking history presented to the ER with 1 hour of acute onset, severe chest pain and diaphoresis. His ECG is shown:What do you think?The history thus far is highly suggestive of OMI, so we must study the ECG very closely to see if we can confirm this. Looking at the rhythm strip, we see there is more going on than simple sinus rhythm, and in fact there are two different morphologies of QRS complexes. Take a closer look at the rhythm by itself and see if you can figure out what ' s going on before scrolling further....

Evaluation of JVP
Transcript of the video: Now we will discuss the basic principles of evaluation of jugular venous pressure and jugular venous pulse. These are assessed in the internal jugular vein and not in the external jugular vein. To revise the anatomy lessons, this is the external jugular vein and this is the internal jugular vein. Now, why we should not be looking at external jugual vein, though it is much easier to find out is that, in lower portion, it may be kinked so that it may not reflect the true right atrial pressure. The whole purpose of assessing the jugular venous pressure and pulse is that it reflects the right atrial pr...

How do we stop a resurgence of fascism?
Is it bad to write for hard-right outlets?
There is no doubt that the Overton window has shifted to the right during the last decade or two. It is now common to hear people saying things that, even in 2010 would have been thought to be frankly fascistic.
I recall a conversation with the great biophysicist, Sir Bernard Katz, in 1992. He had come to UCL in 1936 to escape from the Nazi regime in Leipzig. When I suggested to him that he must have been very pleased about the reunification of Germany, he pulled a long face and said “hmm, let’s wait to see what crawls out from under stones”. ...

Next frontier in radiation free Cath lab : Fibro-optic guided Catheterization
It is a 120-year challenge. Can anyone replace Rontgen’s X-ray discovered in 1895 for medical imaging? The Nobel winning Invention redefined the way we looked at our body and management of diseases for over a century. However, the fact remained it is an invasive and injuring investigation. What is the alternative for the X-radiation ?
CT scan was a great invention, but it turned out to be a gigantic 360-degree clone of X-ray machine. Today’s cath lab, however sophisticated , is like spending hours together inside a hot Chernobyl coffee shop. MRI was a true game changer. With zero radiation, MRI came close i...
