Experiencing a CTM (close to male) intersex variation doesn't mean having Wolffian duct, and intersex Wolffians can be CTF.

Intersex people can be neither CTM or CTF while still experiencing Müllerian and/or Wolffian ducts.

People can experience neither Mullerian or Wolffian traits too.

When Words Are Lost: Aphasia, Anxiety, and the Quiet Power of Listening

With Clinical Insight, Emotional Wisdom, and Evidence for Whole-Person Stroke Care There are wounds that don’t bleed. In stroke, one of the most invisible—and yet most life-altering—is the loss of communication. Imagine waking in your own body, in your own bed, in a ward that is supposed to be your place of recovery… and realising you cannot say your name. You cannot ask for water. You cannot…

24 April 2020

Washed my sheets and clothes (and put my clothes away)

Watched some video on digestive system infections for microbiology

Listened to an organic chemistry lecture on reactivity of carbonyl II compounds

Did the extra credit assignment on Alkyne reactions for o chem

Took Ellie for a 2 mile walk after lunch

Edited the cons section of my senior capstone on antimicrobial resistance

Finished taking notes of digestive system infections

Practiced some Latin

Okay so I finished everything on my to do list early today?! Like I was done by 4 which is weird considering I usually take until 8/9 to finish it all. So I went outside and played some Animal Crossing and read some A Floating City by Jules Verne.

I’m making a frozen pizza right now for dinner while watching Forensic Files. So after dinner I’ll probably do a face mask and take a shower. Then I’ll probably spend the rest of the night reading. Unless my sister wants to do a horror movie tonight.

Also forgot to share these pics of Shelby from last week. She was ever so helpful during my live organic chemistry lecture. She sat on my notes and wouldn’t move. Then when I got my notes back she proceeded to try and eat them and she took my pens to chew on. Then yesterday she jumped on my keyboard while I was in a Zoom lecture and logged me out. So I had to log back and the professor asked what happened. I had to explain what happened while Shelby also purred into the mic.

nd death. The objective of this research review is to compare pre-burn center intubations with those performed at burn centers and compare rates of pneumonia, mortality, and time to extubation. A systematic review of articles from MEDLINE and CINAHL Plus was performed to identify eligible trials and observational studies that compared pre-burn center intubations with those performed at burn centers between the years 2014 and 2018. Four studies met eligibility requirements. There were mixed results on the correlation of pre-burn center intubation with pneumonia and death; however, pre-burn center patients were more likely to have earlier extubation times, which points to potentially unnecessary intubations. Clinicians should be aware of the increased mortality and morbidity associated with intubation. Providers should use objective evidence-based tools such as the ABA (American Burn Association) and Denver criteria to determine the need for intubation to avoid unnecessary intubations and their potential complications....

The Informed SLP: Speech Language Pathology Research

a monthly Speech-Language Pathology research newsletter

I’m baaaaaack...

With a great new resource! We all, as speech and language pathologists, are required to use as much evidence based practice as possible. But, with our crazy schedules, it is difficult for us to read all the articles that we may need to. 

This website has someone read the article for you and summarize the important details so you can use it in therapy. Some you need to pay a subscription to read, some are free. 

Read away, speechies.
