Answer to Case 653
Answer to theParasite Case of the Week 653: Not a human parasite; most likely a mucus cast.As noted by Florida Fan, " The object did not have any internal organization nor visible external anatomy. It displays a ribbon like morphology being flat and slender especially at the bend. " Sam had a similar thought and suggested that since the " patient had cystic fibrosis it may be some kind of mucous plug. " To test these hypotheses, we can gently manipulate the object. Mucus usually separates easily whereas a true nematode has a firm, rubbery cuticle and is harder to tear. As CA noted, although not a firs...

Fight Aging! Newsletter, August 23rd 2021
In this study, we used the UK Biobank (n = 440,185) to resolve previous ambiguities in the relationship between serum IGF-1 levels and clinical disease. We examined prospective associations of serum IGF-1 with mortality, dementia, vascular disease, diabetes, osteoporosis, and cancer, finding two generalized patterns.
First, IGF-1 interacts with age to modify risk in a manner consistent with antagonistic pleiotropy; younger individuals with high IGF-1 are protected from disease, while older individuals with high IGF-1 are at increased risk for incident disease or death. Second, the association between IGF-1 and risk ...

This RCA is trying to teach some basic lessons in ACS
Inferior STEMI, and see the first shot in RCA below. The patient was pain-free and hemodynamically stable at the time of the angiogram. (Don’t wonder how this is possible, defying the fundamental rules learned from animal experiments after acute ligation of the coronary artery)
What needs to be done ?
Go ahead and do a primary PCI as we do in any other IRA.
Be watchful, just pass on the wire, feel the lesion, and decide thereupon. Consider intracoronary lysis.
How about a long stent from proximal to distal RCA?
Kissing the lesion with DEB in the tightest segment (Not a funny opt...

The Glymphatic System in Stroke
The glymphatic system is a comparatively recently discovered feature of the brain, a drainage path for cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) that appears to become dysfunctional with age. That dysfunction may contribute to the progression of neurodegenerative conditions by allowing molecular waste, such as misfolded proteins, to build up in the brain. This is distinct from the age-related dysfunction of CSF drainage through the cribriform plate that may be a root cause of Alzheimer's disease, as that drainage is localized to the part of the brain in which Alzheimer's originates. Given that the glymphatic system is only recently charac...

Medical Device Related Pressure Injury to the Ear due to Mask
This is an “ear-saver” device which relieves pressure from the posterior ear and assists in preventing pressure injury to this sensitive area.
My recent article in the June issue of Advances in Skin and Wound Care reviews the problem of pressure injury to the ear related to masks. In the article I present a case report of a wound behind the ear of a long-term care resident who sustained a pressure injury to his ear from a mask. Using this case as a springboard, the paper reviews anatomy of the ear, CDC regulations regarding PPE for nursing homes, staging and documentation of pressure injuries to the ear, pr...

University of Freiburg – Research Assistant position
We are seeking a full-time or part time research assistant to support and manage research projects at the Department of Neurology. We study how the brain works and how it recovers from damage. Clinical and neuropsychological behavioural tests (eg: language, spatial processing, praxis, spatial perception, memory) are correlated with brain anatomy and function (eg: fMRI, rsfMRI, DTI, sMRT, PET, TMS) in group studies of patients (mainly stroke, Parkinson ’s disease and migraine). In a large scale project carefully selected stroke patients (first ever stroke, single ischemic lesion) are prospectively tested during acute stag...
