1/They say form follows function!
Brain MRI anatomy is best understood in terms of both form & function.
Here’s a thread to help you to remember important functional brain anatomy!

CHRONIC KIDNEY DISEASE:
Individualize BP-lowering therapy and treatment targets in people with frailty, high risk of falls, very limited life expectancy, or symptomatic postural hypotension.
Treatments that delay progression of CKD with a strong evidence base include RASiand SGLT2i. In people with CKD and heart failure, SGLT2i confer benefits irrespective of albuminuria.
Initial dips in eGFR are expected following initiation of hemodynamically active therapies, including both RASI and SGLT2i. GFR reductions of ≥30% from baseline exceed the expected variability and warrant evaluation.
CKD is not a contraindication to an invasive strategy for people with acute or unstable heart disease. Imaging studies are not necessarily contraindicated in people with CKD and the risks and benefits should be determined on an individual basis.

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!
