Tension pneumothorax requires urgent needle compression which converts it into simple pneumothorax then subsequently managed by chest tube drainage under water seal (Safety triangle)

⚠️ Caution: Don't wait for CXR confirmation, It's a clinical diagnosis.

@modernHealthMe Acute respiratory alkalosis.
↓PaCO₂ → ↑pH → ↑Ca²⁺–albumin binding → ionised hypocalcaemia → neuromuscular hyperexcitability.
Perioral paraesthesia, carpopedal spasm.
Bilateral symmetry excludes vascular territory.
Hypocapnia also constricts cerebral vessels.

A young woman has a panic attack in the middle of an exam. Her lips go numb, her fingers start tingling, and her hands suddenly freeze. After being admitted to the hospital, she thinks she's having a stroke. Why did this happen?

@Medzonetv Upper motor neuron (UMN) lesion — damage to the corticospinal tract.
• Big toe dorsiflexes (extends) up
• Other toes fan out
• Normal in infants <2 yrs (immature tract)
Sign of pyramidal tract dysfunction.

@Medzonetv 🫁 Why 88–92% SpO₂ in COPD?
Too much O₂ → rising CO₂ via:
• Reversed hypoxic vasoconstriction → V/Q mismatch
• Haldane effect → less CO₂ release
• Blunted respiratory drive
Enough O₂ to fix hypoxaemia, without hypercapnia & acidosis.

Langerhans cell histiocytosis (LCH)

LCH is a class I histiocytosis characterized by accumulation of Langerhans-phenotype cells in skin and other organs. Prognosis depends on disease extent and is excellent in isolated cutaneous involvement.

Treatment: Topical nitrogen mustard was applied daily to the scalp for one month, resulting in complete resolution. Staging studies showed no systemic involvement, consistent with single-organ disease.

@hemo_shk @IhabFathiSulima 📍 Blood under conjunctiva → red patch
⭐ Most common cause: Valsalva / spontaneous
📊 Resolves in 1–2 weeks
🧪 Normal vision, no pain, no discharge
💊 Reassurance ± artificial tears
⚠ Red flags absent — pain or ↓ vision suggests another diagnosis

This was removed from Robbie Knievel after his death. He wasn't cremated. He died in 2023. Is this type of oxidation normal for hardware like this in the body? It looks incredibly uncomfortable and I'm surprised it can get this bad.
