Superficial Veins of Forearm : Mnemonic

Epomedicine, Jun 22, 2018

Origin: Dorsal venous network The 1st 2 letters of the word “biceps” that being the muscle with which the vein is in relation, will give a mnemonic aid to retain the relative position of the basilic and cephalic veins. (B.I., Basilic Internal) Basilic vein courses medially Cephalic vein course laterally…

Chronic Lead Poisoning : Mnemonic

Epomedicine, Jun 21, 2018

Mnemonic: ABCDEFGH Anemia: Results from ALA dehydrogenase inhibition Also causes RBC membranes to be permeable to K+ and decrease Na+/K+ ATPase leading to hemolysis Basophilic stippling Burtonian lines: Gum “lead lines” develop in 2-50% Results from subepithelial deposit of lead sulfide granules on gingival margins Colic: Spasmodic pain involving smooth…

Ulnar nerve Anatomy – Course and Innervation

Epomedicine, Jun 7, 2018Jun 1, 2024

Origin: C(7), C8, T1 (medial cord of Brachial plexus) Course: Motor innervation: 1. Forearm: Flexor carpi ulnaris (weakness of ulnar deviation and flexion of wrist), Medial half of flexor digitorum profundus (branches near the elbow) 2. Hand: branches near wrist Sensory innervation: Palmar branch at forearm and Digital branch at wrist…

Median nerve Anatomy : Course and Innervation

Epomedicine, Jun 7, 2018Jun 1, 2024

Origin C5-T1 (lateral and medial cords of Brachial plexus) Course Motor innervation Muscles supplied: 2 lateral lumbricals, 3 thenars, 3Ps (2 pronator and 1 palmaris) and 4 flexors. Sensory innervation Clinical correlation 1. Martin-Gruber motor connection: occur in 17% of individuals between median and ulnar nerves resulting in variable innervations…

Dental eruption : Mnemonic

Epomedicine, Mar 4, 2018

Primary teeth begin eruption at around 6 months and Permanent teeth at around 6 years. In general, lower tooth erupts before it’s upper counterpart with few exceptions (lower before upper rule). Age of 6-12 years is a period of mixed dentition (eruption of permanent 1st molar to eruption of 2nd…

Developmental Milestones : Mnemonic

Dr. Sulabh Kumar Shrestha, MS Orthopedics, Mar 4, 2018Apr 12, 2020

Principles of development Development proceeds from the head downward (cephalocaudal principle). Development proceeds from the center of the cody outward (proximodistal development). Development depends on maturation and learning. Development proceeds from the simple to the more complex. Growth and development is a sequential and continuous process. Growth and development proceed…

Neurovascular Relations in Anatomy

Epomedicine, Mar 3, 2018

Porta hepatis Mnemonic: DAVE From anterior to posterior: Ducts (right and left hepatic duct branches) Arteries (right and left hepatic artery branches) Vein (portal vein) Epiploic foramen (foramen of Winslow) Femoral triangle or Scarpa’s triangle Mnemonic: NAVEL From lateral to medial Nerve (femoral nerve and femoral branch of genitofemoral nerve)…

Choledochal Cysts : Mnemonic for Todani Classification

Dr. Sulabh Kumar Shrestha, MS Orthopedics, Mar 2, 2018Mar 2, 2018

  Todani Classification of Choledochal cysts Mnemonic: Consider I is “Extrahepatic” and V is “Intrahepatic”, then – Type I, II and III = Extrahepatic Type IV = Extrahepatic + Intrahepatic Type V = Intrahepatic Most common: Type I 2nd most common: Type IV Type I-III: Extrahepatic Mnemonic: 123 EDC Type…
