I think Median Nerve is the cutest looking peripheral nerve on Ultrasound!
Sciatic can come second next.

I adopt nerve blocks in my work here in Gaza, many patients cried because of pain relief

[Dr. Mahmoud Kullab 🇵🇸 @DrKullab10]

I just wanna thank those two brilliant guys.
I was interested in nerve blocks, and now i am obsessed with them because of you.
I learned from you a lot.

@Tiago_MOC80 @deln_ioann We don't have such a luxurious x-ray in Gaza. ☹️

Every time I see this design, I feel some relief

The mitral valve (anterior leaflet) is designed to direct blood flow towards a smooth sliding path which begins at the basal posterior wall and ends at the LVOT—thereby minimizing LV energy expenditure during ejection.

This is my brother and my story, as doctors working in Gaza, amidst the War with the dangerous situation for us and our family
Story worth telling

[Brandon Stanton @humansofny]

“We had one chance to leave Gaza, early in the war. At that time our lives had grown very difficult. We’d been displaced. We sat down and had a family discussion, and the consensus in the family was not to leave. We’d just learned that our house was still standing, so we thought: ‘We’re luckier than others.’ One month later the Philadelphi corridor was closed, and the option to leave was exhausted. But we still thought we would be OK. We thought the war would end soon, as we think now, as we thought a year ago, as we thought two years ago. And at least we were together. Our family has always been extremely close. I care for my patients, I care for my friends, but not the way I care for my family. Especially my mother. All people say that their mother is a saint, but she was actually a saint. She hated no one. She loved everyone. When I was a child she worked as a schoolteacher, and her school was next to mine, so in the mornings we would walk to school together. I don’t know why I remember this—but she’d always walk between me and the sun. So that I could stand in her shadow. It’s a simple memory, but it means a lot to me. I was always the most attached to her. Maybe everyone in our family feels the same way, but this is my feeling. I told jokes only for her, so that she would laugh. I specialized in medicine just to make her happy. I was a resilient teenager. I wanted to be a writer. But she confronted me. She told me: ‘Life on Earth is a short journey, and you should help people. Because we believe in God. And we believe there is more than just this life.’ Everything, all the things I have done, I have done to please her. And I let her down. I let her down. Because it was my decision. Three days before she was killed, I evacuated her to a safer place. And the safer place got bombed.”

Dr. Mohammad Kullab graduated from Al Quds University as a doctor in 2019. He’s worked at Nasser Hospital and the European Gaza Hospital. At the outbreak of the war, he had just returned to Gaza from a clinical attachment in the UK with the intention of returning. His passport was in transit to be certified when it was lost in the action and he was unable to leave. He joined Doctors Without Borders in the beginning of 2024, where he now works as a medical doctor. Dr Kullab’s job is to deal with patients directly and coordinate their care across various specialists.
Dr. Kullab’s story is part of a series featuring the Palestinian staff of @MSF_USA in Gaza. I will be sharing these stories over the next several days.

What we think about GHF-run food sites in Gaza:

• This is not aid. This is orchestrated killing. 
• GHF must be dismantled immediately. 
• No state donor should fund GHF. 
• The UN-led coordination system must be restored. 
• The siege on Gaza must be lifted to allow safe, large-scale aid delivery.

@rrpocus I would also use POCUS for the aorta, as there is a concern for aortic dissection (hypotention, sharp chest and back pain, pericardial effusion, and ST elevations)
Great case ✌️

[Dr. Mahmoud Kullab 🇵🇸 @DrKullab10]

@NephroP So, am I measuring it right?

[Dr. Mahmoud Kullab 🇵🇸 @DrKullab10]

Is it right while measuring the LVOT VTI be the aortic closure click shown in the image?
Or should I measure it while the aortic click is not shown?
