Remember Me (2010)

This is my first post about MOVIE!
This is the title of the movie that I mentioned in previous post.

I like to watch this kind of movie, romantic and inspiring. It makes me think and refresh myself.

At first, I thought it is a romantic love story. However, I realize that the movie, is not only about love of relationship, there are many other essence of life, brotherhood, parental love, the interaction between people, the impact on a person after certain tragedy and many more.

At first I also didn't know what is the movie based on. Until the last scene, it is the surprise to me.

It is worth to spend a little bit of time to refresh. We should cherish everything we have presently, do whatever we think we want to do as soon as possible, even right now, before it's late. It's because, life is unpredictable.

Remember Me, remember everyone who has walked together with us in the path of our life.

Urology: Plan of investigations

Laboratory methods of investigation

• Blood analysis: GBC
• Biochemical test: urea, creatinine, protein, general bilirubin 
• Urine analysis: Proteinuria, Cast, erythrocytes, leukocytes, epithelial cells, bacteria; pH
• bacteriological study of urine (urine culture)
• immunity/sensitivity test
• Glucose level in blood
• Bleeding time, clotting time, prothrombin time
• Functional kidney test: Zimnitsky test

Instrumental investigation

• Catheterization of bladder
• Cystoscopy
• Percutaneous nephrostomy
• prostatomy

Ultrasound

X-ray examination

• Plain X-ray
• excretory urography (Intravenous pyelography; IVP)
• Cystography; voiding cystogram
• retrograde urethrography
• retrograde pyelography

SPECIAL X-ray

• Abdominal aortography
• percutaneous antegrade urograms

Adams-Stokes syndrome

It is sudden, transient episode of syncope, occasionally featuring seizures. It is named after two Irish physicians, Robert Adams (1791–1875) and William Stokes (1804–1877).

Before an attack, patient may become pale, heart rhythm pause temporally, and collapse may follow. Normal period of unconsciousness is 30 seconds. If seizures are present, there will be twitching after 15–20 seconds. Breathing is normal throughout the attack. On recovery, patient becomes flushed as the blood pumped from pulmonary into systemic circulation which has become dilated because of hypoxia.

NB: As with any syncopal episode that results from a cardiac dysrhythmia, the faints do not depend on the patient's position. If they occur during sleep, the presenting symptom may simply be feeling hot and flushed on waking.

Diagnosis: History taking, observed paleness prior to attack and flushing, ECG - assystolia and ventricular fibrillation during the attacks.

Cause is loss of cardiac output due to cardiac asystole, heart block, Lev's disease or ventricular fibrillation. The resulting lack of blood flow to the brain is responsible for the faint.

Treatment: isoproterenol (Isuprel) and epinephrine (adrenaline). Surgical - insertion of pacemaker.

Prognosis: untreated - 50% mortality within 1 year of 1st episode. Good prognosis after treatment.

Differentiating angina pectoris (AP) and myocardial infarction (MI)

This is my first medical post!

Angina pectoris and myocardial infarction are two serious diseases that are most commonly interchanged. Early recognition of angina pectoris may prevent the condition from developing into myocardial infarction.

In AP, there is pain due to decreased blood and oxygen supply to the heart. Heart tissue goes back to normal when there is enough oxygen supply.
There are stable and unstable angina. Unstable angina can lead to myocardial infarction (these two are known as acute coronary syndrome).

In MI, the tissue actually dies. Heart tissue never return to normal even oxygen is restored. However, there are ischemic part of tissue which there is low oxygen supply, not died tissue. So we can save those "sick" tissue by reperfusion (open those arteries) as soon as possible.

In few words, AP, reversible. MI, irreversible, died tissue.
