The MindAndBodyDoc BLOG

This blog is about my passion. My Passion for being a physician...a healer of my fellow human beings. It is about being a medical specialist, focused on the brain and behavior and the illnesses that affect them both. It is about my specific desire to know all I can about the human brain and how its most wondrous and fundamental product and property - the human mind - works...and breaks. It is about my specific research interests and interesting clinical cases. It is about people, and being human and how and why we behave the way we do and suffer the illnesses we do; how the environment shapes us and we change it and then it shapes us again - and the science of understanding it all.

#Repost @medicaldoctor_health ・・・ Cranioplasties applied with screws! Cranioplasty refers to a surgical reconstruction of a defect or deformity of a skull. This patient required such a procedure after decompressive bilateral craniectomy because of generalized brain edema. At some point patient developed infection of the reimplanted autologous skull flaps, and their removal was necessary. Additionally, Massive subgaleal hygromas were found. Intraoperatively, the hygromas have been drained, multiple defects of the dura were covered, and cranioplasties have been applied and screwed on. #psychiatry #gezondmetons #surgury #doctors #labrumrepair #studymotivation #operating #orthopaedic #inthehospital #studylife #heathylifestyle #studyhard #pathologist #dislocation #gallstones

#Repost @plantbasedrd ・・・ Happy Easter to everyone celebrating today. I’m taking the unconventional route today and didn’t make any Easter themed treats today. Mostly because my hubby is somewhat allergic to carrots (so nothing carrot cake-y today 🙃). So pretty much sticking to the basic flavors but something different outside of oatmeal. That’s where these coconut cardamom pancakes came into existence. . Coconut Cardamom Pancakes 1 cup whole wheat pastry flour 1 tsp baking powder 1/2 tsp baking soda 1 tsp cinnamon 1/4 tsp cardamom 1/4 cup shredded coconut 1 ripe banana, chopped into small pieces or mashed if you don’t like chuncks 1/4 tsp salt 1 flax egg (1 tbsp ground flax + 3 tbsp water mixed together) 1 tbsp maple syrup 1 1/4 cup unsweetened soy milk✨ . Mix together dry ingredients in a medium bowl. Add in milk, flax egg, sweetener and whisk together. Fold in banana or any fruit of choice (try not to over mix). On a preheated griddle, spoon 1/4 cup of batter on surface and cook until bubbles form and edges set (if cooking surface is not non-stick make sure to lightly grease to prevent sticking). At this time flip pancake and cook for another 3 minutes or until bottom becomes golden and fully cooked. Repeat with remaining batter. Serves 2-3 people. And very good either some extra syrup in my opinion. 🙃

#Repost @mind.body.cole ・・・ This book. 🙌🏻 Fear cure is not so much about curing fear it's about letting fear cure you. As long as fear goes unaddressed, ignored, or pushed down, it will continue to poison you. I'd like to share a piece of this amazing book with you now: . "You may not even be aware of how much fear influences your life. This is partly because fear tends to masquerade as a lot of other emotions. Perhaps because the word stress refers more to a physical reaction than to an emotion... we seem to be more willing to admit that stress is what plagues us rather than worry, anxiety or fear. In fact for many, being stressed out is practically a badge of honor. We parade our stress as proof that we are busy, productive, valuable people leaving our mark on the world but for many people, being "stressed out" is just code for being really really scared. . I understand that it is radical to suggest that unchecked fear may lie at the route of many diseases. I'm not suggesting that these diseases don't also have biochemical roots. But I am suggesting that fear predisposes you to those harmful biochemical influences. Even more importantly I'm suggesting that you can do something about this. You are not at fears mercy. There is no need to feel helpless in the face of fear. Remember fear has the potential to free you from suffering, and when you let it your body will thank you."

#Repost @medicaldoctor_health ・・・ Decompressive craniectomy in a 56 years old female patient with ischemic stroke of the right middle cerebral artery territory! The concept of decompressive craniectomy is novel; it is defined as the removal of a large area of skull to increase the potential volume of the cranial cavity to allow a swelling brain room to expand without being squeezed. This type of surgery is commonly used in cases of traumatic brain injures complicated with brain edema. The outcomes of it on patients with refractory traumatic intracranial hypertension remains unclear but do lowers the mortality rate.
