medicalschool: Lipoma Lipomas are benign fatty tumors usually located in subcutaneous tissues, though they may also occur in other locations, such as the internal organs and the internal auditory canal. The masses are comprised primarily of mature adipocytes, which are generally surrounded by a fibrous capsule that makes them easily distinguishable from surrounding tissues. In such cases, the tumors have a doughy feel and can easily be moved around under the surface of the skin.

grimm-sugar: Anatomical book for experimental drawing class today <3 I was thinking that if books have spines, do they have ribs and eyes too? It’s a few collaged images, which I laid under the sliced-out pages, then drew around the edges in colour pencil. Behind the ribcage is actually a big meaty human heart ~

medicalschool: Gonorrhea bacteriaGonorrhea is caused by the bacteria Neisseria gonorrhoeae. The bacteria grow in warm, moist areas of the body, including the tube that carries urine out of the body (urethra). In women, the bacteria may be found in the reproductive tract (which includes the fallopian tubes, uterus, and cervix). The bacteria can even grow in the eyes.A gonorrhea infection that has not spread to the bloodstream or other areas almost always can be cured with antibiotics. Gonorrhea that has spread is a more serious infection but almost always gets better with treatment.

medicalschool: Surgeons Performing the First Ex Vivo Lung Perfusion Transplantation Transplant surgeons at the Perelman School of Medicine at the University of Pennsylvania have successfully used a new technique that repairs damaged donated lungs that would have been unusable, allowing for successful transplantation of the reconditioned lungs into a patient. Known as ex vivo lung perfusion (EVLP), the new technique is applied to donor lungs outside of the body before transplantation with the goal of improving recovery practices and expanding the pool of organs available for patients in need of lung transplantation. Chronic lung disease affects 35 million Americans, results in 400,000 deaths, and causes a public health burden exceeding $150 billion each year. Lung transplantation is the only life-saving therapy for patients with end-stage lung disease, however, the procedure has limited availability because not all donor lungs are safe for transplantation. This shortage of donor lungs results in the death of 20 percent of lung transplant candidates awaiting transplant.

medicalschool: A craniotomy is a surgical operation in which a bone flap is temporarily removed from the skull to access the brain. Craniotomies are often a critical operation performed on patients suffering from brain lesions or traumatic brain injury, and can also allow doctors to surgically implant deep brain stimulators for the treatment of Parkinson’s disease, epilepsy and cerebellar tremor. The procedure is also widely used in neuroscience for extracellular recording, brain imaging, and for neurological manipulations such as electrical stimulation and chemical titration.

mrswrightevenwhenimwrong: Ode to a Node: Have a heart, and have no fear, The SA node is over here. Beating at a constant rate, 60-100 is really great. The AV node can make a show If SA node has gone too slow. 40-60 is not too bad, If it’s all you’ve got, you will be glad. Should the whole thing drop its speed, His and bundle branches will take the lead. And that, my friend is the whole and part, Of the conduction system of your heart. Pitiful and Corney, to say the least.  Taken from the book “Flip and See ECG.”

anaestheticroom: itsfridaydude: brain close-up To expand on the above… “Intracranial recording for epilepsy. Robert Ludlow, UCL Institute of Neurology, London. This photograph shows the surface (cortex) of a human brain belonging to an epileptic patient. The image displays the bright red arteries that supply the brain with nutrients and oxygen and the purple veins that remove deoxygenated blood. This photograph was taken before an intracranial electrode recording procedure for epilepsy, in which electrical activity is measured from the exposed surface of the brain. To find out more about Robert’s image and its creation, view this video on the UCL Institute of Neurology’s website.”
