So here are the three things, that can go wrong with wounds and cuts. Clostridium tetani, staphylococcus aureus, and blood loss, that can happen in small wounds as well. All three of those complications come with dangerous signs, we should recognize. Try to recall three wound complications we just mentioned.

T-Score! How To Know if Bones Are Weak? – USMLE
By measuring
just how
much radiation is absorbed
in these bones,
we can calculate the so-called T score.
And if the T score is less than
then we have the right diagnosis.
Osteoporosis.
In osteoporosis.
T score is a statistical measurement
of bone mineral density.
Density?
Low bone mineral density
leads to fractures.
Pattern of the Bone Fracture – Important
The second thing that truly matters when it comes to fractures is the pattern of the fracture.
A case in which the fracture happens parallel to the bone’s long axis would be defined
as a linear fracture.
A transverse fracture has a 90 degrees angle in relation to the long axis of the bone.
But those are just two very simple bone fracture patterns and we can further identify an impacted
fracture, compression fracture and a spiral fracture and so on.
Abdominal Pain and Pulsation – Aortic Aneurysm USMLE 1
Knowledge is power, be informed, and wise to detect aneurysms, pay attention guys! A pulsating mass, beneath your touch, seek medical advice. It’s crucial as such abdominal pain persistent and deep. Don’t dismiss it! As a passing ache to keep “intense and sudden pain sharp as a knife.”
Don’t delay! Seek medical help, save your life.
Pulsation in the Stomach (Abdomen) – Aortic Aneurysm USMLE 1
Pulsation in the patient’s stomach or abdomen can have different causes and some of those causes can be dangerous and deadly. One such cause is aortic aneurysm but there are other causes for pulsation in the stomach area so, let’s explain those causes and dangerous signs with pulsation in the stomach area that should never be ignored. The inner organs of the human body that can explain pulsation in the abdomen can be seen here. This right over here is the stomach or right above the stomach, you can see the esophagus entering the stomach and more superiorly you can see the aorta, the largest artery of the human body.
This video about pulsation in the abdomen with illustrations and drawings was created using an atomsky.com so if you want to make a similar video, medical video you can use that website but now back to the pulsation in the abdomen. There is one organ that should normally pulsate in the human body and that is the human heart, composed mostly of muscle tissues. It can pump blood through the human body for more than 100 years. This over here leaving the heart is the aorta, the largest artery of the human body and all the blood through the aorta enters this opening over here which is also the aorta, at that point the aorta turns from ascending aorta into the descending aorta as the heart pumps the blood into the aorta, normally we should not feel the pulsation of the heart in the abdomen but if there is an increase of pressure in the aorta we might feel that pulsation and this increase of pressure in the aorta can happen for silly reasons such as lifting our legs above the abdomen. so an increase of pressure in the aorta over here can cause pulsation in the abdomen but vasoconstriction and deletion of arteries can also cause pulsation in certain regions of the human body for example if peripheral arteries such as arteries in the human arms and legs are constricted and Central arteries over here dilated, as the human heart pumps the blood into these regions, more blood will rush into this region, because arteries here are dilated.
Now if I were to cut open my abdomen like this and open it up you would be able to see the abdominal arteries over here. These arteries are important for bringing blood to our guts so that that blood can then return through the veins and bring nutrients to the rest of the human body. After a meal these arteries become dilated so that they can bring more blood to the guts and therefore this can be felt as a pulsating sensation in the abdomen, but not all causes of pulsation in the abdomen are harmless and silly. Some dangerous conditions such as aortic aneurysm can cause pulsation in the abdomen and before we learn these dangerous signs that indicate the presence of aortic aneurysm, make sure you do this for this video and share the video so that people can learn about those dangerous signs. We can see the aorta over here and the aorta has a thick wall because it has to facilitate all the blood flow through it. This wall can become weakened and if it becomes too weak, aorta can become dilated more than 50 percent of its original diameter and start appearing more like a balloon rather than an artery. This is what we Define as aortic aneurysm. This part of the aorta is the thoracic aorta because it is in the thorax of the human body, so this aneurysm is a thoracic aortic aneurysm. Because it is enclosed by the thoracic wall, its pulsation can normally not be noticed from the outside. If an aneurysm develops in the abdominal aorta, the patients often report they can palpate a pulsating mass in their abdomen. Now a wall in the area of an abdomen can become so weak that it ruptures and then it can cause bleeding that ultimately leads to death. So, dangerous signs that indicate that an aneurysm is about to rupture or it already ruptured is chest pain and back pain. In case of a thoracic aneurysm and back pain and abdominal pain in case of an abdominal aneurysm. May be the most important thing about aortic aneurysm is to know how to diagnose it using an ultrasound or a CT-scan.
