Oxford handbooks spitting truth as usual
If anyone, esp aspiring doctors, needs a new podcast to listen to check out The Black Doctors Podcast. It features stories by minority professionals and how they overcame adversity. It also features stories about different fields of medicine and what life is like as a doctor. I totally recommend a listen.
Early-life education improves memory in old age, especially for women
Females who attend school for longer have better memory ability in old age, a new study reports. For each year of education, memory gains were, on average, five times greater for women than the losses experienced due to each year of aging.
Chemical messenger in brain could point to better treatments for anxiety
Corticotropin-releasing factor and neuropeptide Y work in synchronized opposition to each other to remodel and rewire neurons in the amygdala as a response to stress. The process, researchers say, can be manually reversed to help relieve anxiety.
Can Mail Spread the Novel Coronavirus?
“People should not be concerned, she says. SARS-CoV-2 “is very short lived on porous surfaces,” such as cardboard and paper. Once outside the body, the virus is easily rendered non-infectious, because its fragile lipid envelope can be damaged or destroyed with alcohol, soap or ultraviolet light, she says. “The guts of the virus, the genome and the protein wrapping it will be exposed,” which renders it unable to reproduce, she says. “
I am here in the sea of 600 or so doctors, nurses, allied health, patients families and children.
We are here because you clapped for us. And now we kneel with you. For 8:46 we kneel and reflect on our role on creating change. Genetic code, not zip code should be the biggest determinant of health.
Nurse Floofypants is our most requested OR nurse. She just puts the patients at ease somehow.
Black men with chest pain wait longer for an initial EKG than white men.
We can do better.
Black patients are 40% less likely to receive appropriate treatment of acute pain.
We can do better.
Strong words to use on a Resume
If you have ever had to write a resume for work or for an application, then you know the hardest part is figuring out what type of words to use that sound professional and and intelligent.
Example: If an application asks you if you have any relevant experience for a job at a day care center and you have experience, like you have babysat children. You would look at the words in the columns to see what words you should use that will help your resume stand out. You might put down “Have supervised and attended to children on a regular basis.”
I hope this is helpful to you.
Now this is a great resume list of action words. I love that it’s broken down by types of jobs. Saving for future use.
Bloodstain analysis
This is going to be a long post with a lot of information so I’d suggest you sit back, get comfy, I would say grab a snack but we’re getting into blood spatters and stains so that’s most likely not a good idea. If you’re sensitive to blood please be cautious.
Types of blood stains
-passive bloodstain
Meaning: blood that is only affected by gravity. There is no force or outside contact with this type of spatter. It can be affected however by how far up the blood falls from and how much blood is coming out. It also has spines (or spikes) and satellites -pictured and labeled bellow)
The size of passive bloodstain relies on how high up the blood fell from. The higher the fall, the larger the stain.
Types of passive blood stains:
Blood pool: bleeding in large amounts without moving
A round droplet: a small amount of blood, possibly from a small cut, that drips onto the floor
-projectile
Meaning: blood is affected directly by force. Meaning it flung rather than falling straight down. These have tails and a long shape. The tail indicates what direction the blood had started, but we’ll get into this later.
Types of projectile blood stains:
Arterial gushing: pretty straight forward, an artery spraying blood onto some sort of surface
High impact: blood that flung with a high force. This refers to gunshots or other forces as strong or stronger. The blood will pretty much go everywhere.
Droplet with tail: also known as low impact. Can just mean a small cut was brought upon and the person ran quickly.
Medium impact: blood that flung with somewhat force. Can be brought on by stabbing.
-transfer
Meaning: the blood is moved from its originally place by some means of contact. This can mean stepping in blood and walking into a non-affected area or dragging a bloodied object across a floor.
Types of transfer bloodstains:
Trail: the stain left behind after dragging a bloodied object across a surface.
Wipe: when a non bloodied object moves through a bloodied surface or object.
Swipe: when blood is moved to a non bloodied surface.
Smear: when a large amount of blood is distorted.
What projectile bloodstains mean:
As I mentioned earlier projectile bloodstains have tails, they’re in an exclamation point shape and these can be used to tell where the blood came from.
This process is pictured below (I tried my best at drawing)
There will most likely be multiple droplets. By completing this process with many you’ll get a good estimate of the point in which is came from.
Another useful thing of projectile bloodstains is finding the angle to which they fell. You can find this information through a simple equation that is sin^-1(width/length) which should give you an exact angle. However only by looking at the bloodstain you can tell an estimation of the angle. The lower the angle, the longer the droplet.
Of course there’s plenty more to this topic than I could fit and more depth to each of these categories. This is only scratching the surface.
Dental Identification: Determination of Ethnic Origin.
The determination of race is not most reliably achieved through odontology, and what little can be determined in this way is generally only supplementary to what’s been learnt from the examination of the skull and long bones. However, there are common characteristics (similarities and differences) in ethnic origins.
EUROPEAN:
1). Narrow arch and crowding of teeth. 2). Cusp of Carabelli.
CHINESE:
1). Wide arch.
2). Enamel extension between roots of molars.
3). Three rooted deciduous molars.
4). Five cusped third molars.
AUSTRALIAN ABORIGINES:
1). Large arch and large teeth.
2). Midline diastema.
3). Marked attrition.
NORTH AMERICAN INDIANS:
1). Marked attrition.
2). Shovel-shaped incisors.
3). Large teeth.
This is an eye-opening and humane account of working as a prison doctor. Brown decided to leave her GP practise after 20 years of work, in search of new challenges and ways to help people. She has worked in juvenile, male and female prisons, and recalls some shocking and surprisingly heart-warming stories from patients she has worked with - I highly recommend!
