Do you consider phlegmon associated with appendicitis as a contraindication for appendectomy?

[doc-on-the-run @doc_on_the_run]

@armycritcare It’s discouraged in the setting of musculoskeletal pathology. But it’s literally used to categorize the severity of some diseases, like appendicitis.

See page 1, the description of Grade IV appendicitis.

BIOCHEM

Easier way to memorize the Glycosaminoglycans is to memorize and draw this figure. Think of the GAGs as one long chain and you separate it into six.

Heparan Sulfate -> Heparin -> Dermatan Sulfate -> Chondrotin Sulfate -> Hyaluronic Acid -> Keratan Sulfate

@jemsummeeer Hi Pharm twitter. More useful for you guys than us :))

I derived a quick formula for the ATP yield for the complete β-oxidation of
Even-chain fatty acids: 7C – 6
Odd-chain fatty acids: 7C – 19

C = # of Carbons in the fatty acid.

Assumption:
1 NADH = 2.5 ATP
1 FADH2 = 1.5 ATP

These are xanthelasma which are associated with lipid disorders.

In a patient with jaundice, consider:

Chronic alcohol use
PBC (although jaundice is a late sign)
NASH cirrhosis
Drugs (eg fibrates)
Gallstones
and don’t forget the usual liver screen!

A 62-year-old woman p/w pruritic, draining nodules on the back & buttocks. She reported an associated biting sensation that worsened at nighttime. Two months earlier, she had traveled to Colombia and recalled receiving several mosquito bites. What is the likely diagnosis? #medEd

increased ICP —> local hypoxia and hypercapnia —> increased RVLM discharge —> rise in systemic arterial pressure —> blood flow restored to medulla ; baroreceptor reflex is activated —> bradycardia
