@rhettrospective I’d be confident that this is 1978, as Peter Keenan was suspended for GF and he is on sidelines during training session even though he did have his gear on. Also, Barry Cable is not in playing gear as he had retired. Also, I notice Stephen Easton, who debuted in 1978.

@NicolaMarsh @NMFCOfficial Harry’s goal will now go down in our clubs history as an iconic moment similar to Drew in final v Essendon 🤍💙

Today is a very special day as @ONEin5000 Foundation is proud to celebrate today, 20th March, as the inaugural “International Anorectal Malformations Day (ARM).
This important milestone has been made possible through the collaboration of worldwide IA/ARM patient organisations🧡💙

@RalphyHeraldSun David Dench - Captain at 21; Wayne Carey - Captain at 21; Harry Sheezel at 21 is most definitely in the same category as these players to be considered for captaincy 🤍💙

#OTD, 45 years ago, Dr. Alberto Peña created the Posterior Sagittal Approach to repair Anorectal Malformations.
We thank him for his creativity, sincere interest in improving the life of patients, as well as his continuous dedication to teaching other surgeons.

[DoctorsPenaBischoff @DrsPenaBischoff]

Anorectal Malformations are frequently referred to as an Imperforate Anus. In reality, a true imperforate anus (blind ending rectum) is a rare anomaly that only happens in 5% of cases.

For those diehard #shinboners, here is a story on our beloved @NMFCOfficial #joininthechorus #kangas theme song 🦘🤍💙

[North Melbourne FC @NMFCOfficial]

We have a particularly special song, with two verses sung before the version played over the loudspeakers, but which is its 'true' last line?

Club historian Greg Ryan investigates.

Are you an adult colorectal surgeon treating a patient with Anorectal Malformation and rectal prolapse? This article is for you.

✅ Patients with ARM do not have an anal canal. Perineal approaches, which are the best option in this population, need some modification. 🧵

@waynecarey27 100% Duck, they have no idea 🦘🤍💙

[European Journal of Pediatric Surgery & Reports @EJPS_Reports]

🚨 New EU Guidelines for Anorectal Malformation (ARM)!
✅ Prenatal detection via US/MRI
✅ Newborn screening for spinal/urological anomalies
✅ Structured long-term follow-up
📌 Standardized diagnostics = earlier, better care! https://t.co/tWEhNWU1pc

[Michael McCormack @M_McCormackMP]

Labor has cut funding for the Paediatric Colorectal and Pelvic Reconstruction Centre which was treating children born with debilitating conditions.

Put simply, this is a heartless decision.

Rectal prolapse in Anorectal Malformation:
- more common in patients with poor prognosis for bowel control
- surgery should only be offered when interfering with the quality of life (excessive mucous production, bleeding, or discomfort)
