    Sixteen years ago today, my aunt placed a tiny 5-6 week old (exact birth date unknown) brown tabby kitten on my lap. There she stayed. I wasn’t sure she could walk the first couple of days. Faith and I have been inseparable ever since. She was still such a young kitty that she tried, repeatedly, nursing from my neck. She still does on occasion. (Do cats have bad dreams and need comforting?) There’s nothing like being awakened by a kitty claw in the jugular vein and being smothered in kitty kisses. Faith is equally content curled up behind my knees. (Not my most photogenic side…oh…

    General cardiologyEpinephrine use and cardiac arrest survival Whist epinephrine (epinephrine) is commonly used during cardiopulmonary resuscitation, both in and out of hospital, its effectiveness is poorly established. Although some animal studies have suggested a short term benefit due to increased cerebral and coronary perfusion, an increase in myocardial oxygen consumption and ventricular arrhythmias has also been documented. The purpose of this analysis was to determine how the use of epinephrine in cardiopulmonary resuscitation performed before hospital arrival (out-of-hospital arrest)…

  • Balloons and atrial fibrillation

    11 May 2012 | 10:00 pm
    To the Editor This excellent short review article1 is written by someone who has a self-declared interest in the manufacturer of the ‘laser balloon’ (Cardiofocus Inc, Marlborough, MA, USA). It is unsurprising therefore to see that he gives the cryoballoon, a rival technology, short shrift by dismissing it as ‘having problems’. In fact, there are published data showing that it is probably the most successful approach to paroxysmal atrial fibrillation (PAF) so-far invented.2 Acute success was achieved in over 98% of 924 patients. The one year freedom from PAF rate is…

  • Clinical and Imaging Features of Intracranial Arterial Aneurysms in the Pediatric Population [Neurologic/Head and Neck Imaging]

    10 May 2012 | 10:00 pm
    Intracranial arterial aneurysms (IAAs) are rare in children. Nevertheless, IAAs account for at least 10%–15% of hemorrhagic strokes during the first 2 decades of life. Traditional vascular risk factors, which are common in the adult population, are generally absent in the pediatric population, engendering distinct modes of IAA pathogenesis. Classification of pediatric IAAs according to the pathogenetic mechanism shows eight distinct categories: idiopathic, traumatic, those due to excessive hemodynamic stress, vasculopathic, infectious, noninfectious inflammatory, oncotic, and familial.

The FVL mutation also exerts a modest effect on arterial ischemic diseases.© 2012 International Society on Thrombosis and Haemostasis (Source: Journal of Thrombosis and Haemostasis)MedWorm Message: Please support the Doctors In Chains campaign for the medics tortured and sentenced for up to 15 years in Bahrain. #FreeDoctors

    For the last few years i have recorded my site stats on Saturdays; the one time each week when I checked my stats and wrote them down. Why I chose Saturday i do not know. But, turning on my computer to complete that task, I typically ended up doing other things on there and ended up frittering away more of my Saturday than I had intended. I do not recall an extended period of time since elementary school (before homework began) when I had my weekends totally off, guilt free. This past weekend I chose to change that; I chose to reclaim my weekends. Saturday I checked out our annual Party for…

All that remained was their two collars with gold bells… You are the last remaining Golden Bunny. What do you do? Do you concede to the same doomed fate? Do you learn from the past tragedy and focus on being a survivor? Or do you discover a third option? Share in the comments below. If you enjoyed this post, consider buying me a cafe mocha.

    On beautiful days Darrell and I grab our respective cameras and head out somewhere we can easily get to. These photo wheels have become an outside activity we are able to enjoy together. I frequently share a day’s best photos in a post, like the Easter bouquet a few days ago. What I don’t share are the umpteen shots that don’t make the cut because of my shaky cerebral palsy and my not-quite-perfected camera mount. That is, not until now…perhaps there is beauty hidden somewhere in the outtakes… Then I get the one I was aiming for…or almost, which only means I still have something…

  • Cast is Off!

    9 May 2012 | 4:54 pm
    On Monday, we headed to Shriner's in Portland again for Darsie's cast to get taken off. The cast came off with no problem but there was a "button" on the bottom of her foot that had to be removed that held the sutures from holding the tendon in the correct place (I think!). She was not a happy camper during that.After her cast was removed, Darsie was very upset about her foot looked (although I could tell the position of her foot was 100% better immediately). I don't think I prepared her enough for the incisions that would be very visible. Anyways, we headed up immediately to the Orthotics…

    After getting the results from the motion lab analysis, D's ortho at Shriners, Portland, thought it would be best to perform an anterior tibialis tendon transfer, a posterior tibialis tendon lengthening, and an achilles tendon lengthening. There was some talk about doing a femur osteotomy as she has some leg rotation originating from her femur but as it is a much more intensive surgery, we decided to hold off on that one for another year or so, if she will even need it.On Tuesday, D was admitted at Shriners for the tendon surgeries. The surgery lasted about two hours and her ortho said that…

He is simply awesome with her. He made many, many adjustments (including an entirely new strap system) to her new AFO to make sure that it was the proper fit and comfortable to her, too. Turns out, he wears DAFOs, so he is well-versed in anything orthotic related.Her second appointment was in the Motion Analysis Lab with Rosemarie and Bob. They performed…
