[Pope Leo XIV @Pontifex]

Looking without walking by, halting the frantic pace of our lives, allowing the lives of others, whoever they may be, with their needs and troubles, to touch our heart. That is what makes us neighbors to one another, what generates true fraternity and breaks down walls and barriers.

This month, we're expanding our health insights with free A1C testing (commonly used to screen for diabetes and prediabetes) for all who successfully give blood through March 31.

Remember: Donating blood is not the same as getting bloodwork done at the doctor's office — you do not need to fast! Before you arrive to your appointment, make sure to fuel up with plenty of water and iron-rich food. Make an appointment to give blood: https://t.co/uexqtkxIfT

These statistics are alarming but true. According to the CDC:

• 8.7 million people in the U.S. are living with undiagnosed diabetes.
• Approximately 80% of people with prediabetes are unaware they have it.

Unmanaged diabetes can cause serious health concerns. This month, we’re expanding our health offerings with free A1C testing for all who successfully give blood through March 31. Gain valuable information about your blood sugar levels over the past three months by making an appointment to donate blood: https://t.co/UJEHufr7I4

[Adam Grant @AdamMGrant]

Disappointment comes from knowing things could be better. Gratitude flows from knowing things could be worse.

We don't control events, but we do choose our outlook. Where we focus shapes how we feel.

For most people in most places, this is the best time in history to be alive.

Happiness comes not from the blip that is a moment of victory but from the long arc of living, learning, and loving.

Think you know brain vascular anatomy?

How many brain vascular circles do you know?

Everyone knows the Circle of Willis, but few know its venous counterpart: Venous Circle of Trolard!

Can you see the polygon on top of a❤️??

Venous Circle of Trolard is the midline connection between the right & left venous networks.

Peduncular veins form the so-called “mesencephalic heart.”

It provides venous collaterals in both the transvesrse & AP directions

It could potentially compensate in contralateral basal occlusion from tumor or surgical injury.

On the flip side--in a dural AVF, it could result in hemorrhage on the contralateral side!

Hopefully now when it comes to venous anatomy, you will always bee in the right vein!
