Lumbar Multifidus Dysfunction and Chronic Low Back Pain: Overview, Therapies, and an Update on the Evidence

[P. Juan Manuel Góngora @patergongora]

Esta instantánea es de una profundidad inmensa.

Un instrumento de tortura y ejecución, extendido por el Imperio Romano como medio atroz de castigo y disuasión, es transformado por la acción de Dios en signo de salvación y del amor más grande que hayan contemplado los tiempos.

El momento de la consumación de la entrega de Cristo al Padre, esculpida en madera, se eleva triunfante como estandarte de la soberanía de Dios en Cristo sobre la historia humana. Hacía él se enfocan las miradas de las almas dañadas por el pecado y la muerte para quedar sanadas.

La contraposición entre el arco de Tito, vestigio memorial de la destrucción de Jerusalén y del segundo templo, y la figura de Aquel que profetizó ese evento histórico y llevó a término en su propia persona la rúbrica de la nueva y eterna Alianza en su sangre.

Y en cuarto lugar, en un contexto actual donde la fe católica en Cristo resucitado se pretende falsear o esconder siendo siempre perseguida por los poderes efímeros de este mundo, con motivo de un año jubilar centrado en la virtud teologal de la Esperanza, es manifestada públicamente por las calles de la antigua ciudad imperial. Y todo ello acontece en la víspera del inicio solemne del pontificado de un nuevo sucesor de san Pedro, el Papa León XIV. Roca instituida por Jesucristo y sobre la cual edifica su Iglesia.

We just started a book club.

Together, we are working through the great texts of Western Civilization — the classic novels, epic poems, and philosophical treatises that built it.

Starting with 10 classic books that every man must read... (thread) 🧵

💡 Oculomotor nerves also run right between the posterior cerebral and superior cerebellar arteries so any aneurysm in this area can also compress the nerve but these locations are much less common than pcom

Oculomotor nerves 🟡 ➡️

[Daniel Gewolb, MD @daniel_gewolb]

⭐️ Anatomy on coronal T2 shows nicely shows the proximity of the oculomotor nerve to the uncus and posterior communicating arteries explaining why uncal herniation and PCOM aneurysms can cause oculomotor nerve compression 👇

Oculomotor nerves 🔵 ➡️
Posterior communicating arteries 🔴 ➡️
Uncus(i?) 🟠 ➡️

💡 Left Pcom in this case is compressing the oculomotor nerve at the cavernous sinus even without an aneurysm

1/Asking “How old are you?” can be dicey—both in real life & on MRI! Do you know how to tell the age of blood on MRI?

Here’s a thread on how to date blood on MRI so that the next time you see a hemorrhage, your guess on when it happened will always be in the right vein!

Try this :
I want you to act and take on the role of my brutally honest, high-level advisor.

Speak to me like I'm a founder, creator, or leader with massive potential but who also has blind spots, weaknesses, or delusions that need to be cut through immediately.

I don't want comfort. I don't want fluff. I want truth that stings, if that's what it takes to grow.
Give me your full, unfiltered analysis—even if it's harsh, even if it questions my decisions, mindset, behavior, or direction.

Look at my situation with complete objectivity and strategic depth. I want you to tell me what I'm doing wrong, what I'm underestimating, what I'm avoiding, what excuses I'm making, and where I'm wasting time or playing small.

Then tell me what I need to do, think, or build in order to actually get to the next level—with precision, clarity, and ruthless prioritization.

If I'm lost, call it out.
If I'm making a mistake, explain why.
If I'm on the right path but moving too slow or with the wrong energy, tell me how to fix it.
Hold nothing back.

Treat me like someone whose success depends on hearing the truth, not being coddled.

@sola_chad Equally important is what God did in the next moment.

God tore the veil between us and him, from top to bottom sealing the deal with “the lamb slain from the foundation of the cosmos.”

AI gets it right on this one.

Today is Holy Friday, but the suffering & Passion of our Lord is something we fail to truly grasp.

Yet, we must bring it closer to our hearts, meditate on His agony, & reflect on just how much pain He endured for us.

This is the Passion of the Christ - a 🧵
