l've got your back — literally!
A solid grasp of lumbar spine anatomy is essential to be able to find pathology and be accurate in reporting.
You need to know where the nerve roots lie in the central canal and neural foramina to know when they are compressed.
And you need to know your disc nomenclature to accurately describe the pathology
This video shows you the anatomy and nomenclature you NEED to know!
Because when your anatomy knowledge is weak, your reports can really be a pain in the back!
@lelepons Por favor dile a @shakira que nos dé una presentación en Venezuela 😭
Lo más cercano que tenemos es Colombia y es imposible acceder a esas boletas.
Zabramski classification of cavernous malformations
A type 1 cavernous malformation is one with acute or subacute hemorrhage characterized radiographically by hyperintense T1 signal and hyper- or hypointense T2 core (1st panel, axial T2 brain MRI). Pathologically, these lesions display subacute hemorrhage surrounded by hemosiderin-laden macrophages and gliotic brain.
A type 2 cavernous malformation is the classic-appearing "popcorn"-like lesion characterized radiographically by a mixed reticulated core on T1 and T2 images (2nd panel, axial T2 brain MRI). There is often a "ring" of hemosiderin (hypointense T2). This correlates pathologically with loculated, intracavernous hemorrhage and thrombosis, surrounded by gliotic hemosiderin-stained brain.
A type 3 cavernous malformation is hypointense on both T1 and T2. Pathologically, type 3 cavernous malformations display chronic hemorrhage with hemosiderin.
Type 4 cavernous malformations are not visible on standard MRI sequences. They can only be visualized on hemosiderin-sensitive sequences (gradient echo or susceptibility-weighted imaging [SWI])

Randall plaques are microcalcifications of the tip of the renal papilla, which is <2 mm (papillary microlithasis): precursor/predisposing factor for renal stone formation.

A pesar de las gestiones de @OmarEnriqueVzla, la cantante colombiana @shakira no incluye a Venezuela en su gira latinoamericana.
Le habían ofrecido el triple para presentarse en El Monumental.
