@Saudia_Care
Hello, I urgently need an official letter confirming the disruption/cancellation of my flight SV1662 on 25 July 2026. I need this document to submit to AROYA Cruises regarding my missed embarkation. I have my booking reference and supporting documents ready. Could you please assist me?
في STEMI:
👉 التشخيص = ECG + clinical picture
👉 لا تنتظر التروبونين
Time is myocardium
📌 في suspected ACS:
👉 أعد التروبونين بعد 2–4 ساعات
(Serial troponin is essential 🔁)
هذا مريض اليوم في الطوارئ:
Central chest pain for one hour ⏱️
Troponin = 13 ng/L (0–14 طبيعي)
وهذا ECG👇
What’s the diagnosis?
#MedTwitter#Cardiology#ECG
📊 Timeline of troponin in MI:
• 0–2 hours → often still normal
• 3–6 hours → starts to rise
• 6–12 hours → clearly elevated
• ~24 hours → peak
👉 إذا المريض جاي بدري ممكن يكون التروبونين طبيعي
💡 السبب:
Insufficient myocardial necrosis yet
(ما صار damage كافي)
Pleural Effusion: CXR vs Ultrasound 🫁
Not all effusions are visible on CXR.
🔍 CXR
•Needs ~200–300 mL to detect
•Look for: blunted costophrenic angle + meniscus sign
•Can miss small effusions (especially in ICU patients)
🟡 Ultrasound
•Detects as little as 5–50 mL 🔥
•Shows anechoic fluid + septations
•Essential before thoracentesis
💡 Take-home:
If you rely only on CXR → you will miss pleural effusions.

🚨 Back Pain Red Flags = MRI (Don’t Miss These)
Not every back pain needs imaging ❌
But missing a red flag = serious harm ⚠️
🔴 Order MRI if:
• History of cancer + new back pain
• Fever / IV drug use / infection signs
• Severe or progressive neurological deficit
• Saddle anesthesia or bowel/bladder dysfunction
• Unexplained weight loss
• Immunocompromised
🟡 Consider MRI:
• Persistent pain >6 weeks despite treatment
🟢 No MRI:
• Acute back pain (<6 weeks) with NO red flags
💡 Treat first. Image only when it matters.

When to do ERCP vs MRCP in suspected CBD stones
Rule of thumb:
🟥 High probability → ERCP
• CBD stone on imaging
• Ascending cholangitis
• Bilirubin >4 + dilated CBD
🟨 Intermediate probability → MRCP / EUS
• Abnormal LFT
• Age >55
• Dilated CBD
🟩 Low probability → Cholecystectomy
💡 Remember:
MRCP = diagnosis
ERCP = treatment

هذا الكتاب ساعدني كثير في تطوير مهارتي في قراءة ECG.
كنت أقرأ يوميًا 10–20 ECG لمدة شهر كامل
والفرق كان واضح جدًا في سرعة التفسير والتفكير السريري.
التعلم الحقيقي في ECG يأتي من رؤية أكبر عدد ممكن من الحالات وليس فقط قراءة النظريات.
