Looking forward to a weekend reset after kicking off orientation for residency!

I have 2 more weeks of orientation & I’m alternating between feeling extremely nervous and excited about starting intern year.

I’ve been decompressing after being blasted with information every day by squishing the cat when I get home.

Have a kid who fell with toothbrush and the toothbrush punctured a hole in the back if his pharynx. If it hit a carotid artery, that's a life threatening injury. Luckily, the kid is stable abd didn't have any active bleeding. We ordered a CT soft tissue neck with contrast to rule out arterial injury.

Just sharing this article here, because it's given me hope. As someone in medicine, working with neurodivergent kids, who is neurodivergent himself, I love seeing the pendulum finally begin to swing, as there's interesting recognition that autism is different, broader than we previously understood

A posterior fossa tumor arising from the fourth ventricle in a child is likely an ependymoma (image 1, Case courtesy of Jini P Abraham, Radiopaedia.org, rID: 98653).

A tumor arising from the brainstem, particularly the pons, is likely a diffuse midline glioma, although pilocytic astrocytomas and gangliogliomas can also arise here (image 2, Case courtesy of Jeremy Jones, Radiopaedia.org, rID: 68486).

Why Steroids Are NOT Functional - Don't Trade Your Health for Muscle

Steroids may make you stronger and help in certain sports. However, they come with many serious drawbacks that make you WORSE overall. They're not just bad for you - they're also detrimental to some aspects of performance. And they expose your insecurity.

Hey guys, so there’s something I wanted to talk about that’s a little bit more opinionated than what you normally get on this site. That is: I want to make very clear my stance on steroids. Which is that they’re lame, they suck, and they’re dumb. Doing steroids IS dumb. I feel like this is an important message to share right now. Partly, that’s because more and more fitness “influencers” are…

Q. What are the most common causes of in-toeing in children?

.

.

.

.

.

A. It depends on the age of the child.

0-1 year    metatarsus adductus = medial deviation of the forefoot relative to the hindfoot. If flexible, will typically resolve on its own. If inflexible, start serial casting early.

1-3 years   tibial torsion = rotation (usually internally) of the foot under the knee. If unilateral, L > R. Usually resolves on its own by 4 years. If external and associated with gait instability or pain, refer to Orthopedics for evaluation.

3+ years    femoral anteversion = inward rotation of the femur --> knees and feet both turn inward, the true "pigeon toe." Runs in families and exacerbated by W sitting. Generally resolves by 10 years as child grows and bones mature.
