Mnemonic for Toxicity of loop diuretics | Mnemonic

 For toxicity of loop diuretics, mnemonic is as follows:

keep the word Hypo 

so now count down all hypos:

• hyponatremia
• hypokalemia'
• hypocalcemia
• hypomagnesemia
• hypovolemia

and from word (hypo) letters:

H..................

y (if you write it in small case letter on paper, its upper part resembles u) = uric acid (and removing the o from hypo makes hyp = hyperuricemia)

p (rhymes with b) = B1 deficiency (which actually worsens in heart failure)

and O = ototoxicity 

this is makes easier for me to remember the toxicities of loop diuretics easier than cramming them all or making a sentence or word unrelated to loop diuretics, so word hypo is quite relevant for loop diuretics so it can be a good anchor in your mind

I hope it works for you all 

InShaAllah

Thank you 💓

Loop diuretics Mnemonic | Clinical Indications of Loop diuretics

 Mnemonic for clinical indications of loop diuretics is as follows

From the word loop diuretics, my mind first thinks about loop as wave like thing and diuretic to be water related

So mnemonic is also related to it like that

HEEHA........ (as if you are skating on sea waves)

H = heart failure

E = edema  (pulmonary)

E = edema (peripheral)

H = hypertension (in case of renal failure and you are trying to treat fluid overload)

A = onion overdose 

I hope it works for you all

InShaAllah

Thank you 💓

Mnemonic | Ramsay Hunt Syndrome

Here is a mnemonic for Ramsay hunt syndrome triad 

Taken from the name of the disease:

Ram Said to me, Hunt!

Ram said from his mouth, so associate this point with facial paralysis

He said to me to Hunt so I heard it from my ears and hunt is always with injuries, so external auditory canal vesicular lesions (which are painful)

I hope you understood this linker Mnemonic and would have good place in your mind Palace 👽

InShaAllah

Thank you❤👻👽

And that's it

Mnemonic | Triad of Melkersson Syndrome

For the triad of Melkersson syndrome, I tried to make a mnemonic from the name of the disease. 

Here it is 

Pronounce MelKerSon by dividing the whole word into 3 parts and note which part of your mouth plays part in it

Mel = you used your lips mainly 

Ker = you used your tongue to pronounce it

Son = you remembered your son and his face came infront of your sight

So 

Mel = swollen lips

Ker = fissured tongue 

Son = facial paralysis 

I hope it works for you all

InShaAllah!

Thank you❤👽👻

Mnemonic | Common locations of Primary Brain Parenchymal Hemorrhage

The Name has the mnemonic in it for the common locations of Primary Brain Parenchymal hemorrhages:

Brain Paren/chyma (divided the word parenchyma by syllable into 2):

Brain = Basal ganglia

Paren = Pons

CHyma = Cerebellum, tHalamus 

I hope it works for you all

InShaAllah!

Thank you💓

Mnemonic | Classification of Otitis Media Complications

Complications of otitis media are classified into Intratemporal and intracranial. 

To remeber them i have made a mnemonoc from the word TeMPoraL

First IntraTemporal

T = T appears like 7 , so 7th never paralysis

e

M = mastoiditis 

P = Petroitis 

ora

L = labrynthitis

Now Extra temporal from the same word teMPOraL

Just one letter is changed ( here O is used and in previous one it was T )

te

M = Meningitis (and relate to it is extradural and subdural abscess)

P = flip it vertically =b = brain abscess

O = Otitic Hydrocephalus

ra

L = Lateral sinus Thrombophlebitis

I hope it will be handy for you attempt short questions in your exams regarding complications of otitis media

InShaAllah!

Thank you👽❤

Mnemonic for Ototoxic drugs

Some of the ototoxic drugs are presented to you here with a mnemonic 

Think about a situation when you got deaf due to some ototoxic drugs and now you go to a pandet named Adam for cure

So Pandet Adam is our mnemonic 

P = Propranolol, platins(cisplatin, carboplatin)

A = aminoglycosides

N = NSAIDs (ibuprofen, salicylate, indomethacin)

D = Diuretics (furosamide, ethacrynic acid, bumetanide)

E = eryhtromycin 

T = tobacco 

A = Alcohol

D = defroxamide 

A = ampicllin 

M = anti Malarial (quinine, chloroquine, hydroxychloroquine)

And that's it. 

I hope it works for you all

InShaAllah!

Thank you❤

Perinatal Causes of Hearing loss | Mnemonic

 Imagine a situation in which an immature baby is to be born to a mother, so baby will be of low birth weight, and since there is birth going on early so there maybe a problem of anoxia due to prolonged labour, in this situation obstetrician will try to operate and get baby out quickly, so a chance of birth injury is there, birth injury may lead to meningitis, that may end up in sepsis, and for that we will need drugs and admission in NICU to handle the situation. 

So after keeping this type of perinatal situation in mind, you can keep some of the preniatal causes of heading loss 

1. Immaturity and low birth weight
2. Anoxic
3. Birth injury
4. Neonatal meningitis 
5. Sepsis
6. Time spent in NICU
7. Ototoxic drug
8. Neonatal jaundice (not in the mnemonic)

I hope it works for you all again like always

InShaAllah!

Thank you ❤

Mnemonic | Average Hearing loss in Different Ear lesions

The mnemonic was quite difficult in its genesis. 

But here it is:

Complete obstruction of Ear canal = 3ar (flip the E to 3) = 30dB loss

Perforation of tympanic membrane = perFORation = 40 = 10 - 40dB

Malleolar fixation = malle01ar = 10 = 10 - 25dB

Ossicular interruption with intact drum = 54dB (couldn't make for it 🥲)

Ossicular interruption with perforated drum = among all numbers from 1 - 10 which digit is most perforated? ( I mean having more holes)

The answer is 8 and vertical half of 8 is 3 so 38dB

Closure of oval Window = thats the last resort of conductive hearing loss and max hearing loss possible in conductive hearing loss is 60dB never above it. So no mnemonic for it. 

If you have any better than this pet me know in the comments 

I hope it works for you

In Sha Allah!

Thank you❤

Mnemonic | Congenital and Acquired causes of Conductive hearing loss

Some of the causes of Congenital and acquired conductive hearing loss can be remembered with this mnemonic

Think about a Calf being given birth by (obviously😂) a cow. So she just got mom for the first time (ft)  

So here it is the mnemonic just heard

Congenital causes of conductive hearing loss

CAlF:

C = Cholesteatoma

A = Atresia ( of meatus )

l...........................

F = fixation of malleable head, footplate of stapes a ossivular discontinuity 

Now the Acquired causes of conductive hearing loss

MOM FT.

M = Membrane (tympanic) perforation 

O = ossicles fixation or discontinuity 

M = Mass in middle ear

F = Fluid in the middle ear

T = Tubal Blockage ( eustachian tube )

You can add in them further the examples in the causes I listed here. 

I hope it works again for you people

In Sha Allah!

Thank you👻

Morphology of Rapidly progressive glomerulonephritis

The morphology of crescentic glomerulonephritis seen in rapidly progressive glomerulonephritis (RPGN) is quite easy, so here i am just sharing the difference between differences in the types of RPGN only:

Points of difference		Immune complex mediated	Anti GBM antibody mediated	Pauci immune type
Endocapillary proliferation		ü	û	û
Mesangial proliferation		ü
Immunofluorescence	Linear staining	û	ü	û
	Granular staining	ü	û	û
Dense immune complex deposits		ü	û	û

I hope it will help you in remembering the morphology 

In Sha Allah

see you soon with something new again IA

Thank you 😊

Mnemonic | Morphology of IgA nephropathy

 Morphology of IgA nephropathy will be derived from its pathogenesis and the disease name.

so the mnemonic is presented here:

Pathogenesis = indicates about role of immunoglobulins and mesangial cells

now about these 2 things take the name of the disease:

IgA = A = All 

= all main antibodies in infections (IgA, IgG, IgM) 

= all mainly possible mesangial morphologies ranging from mesangial widening, diffuse mesangial proliferation endocapillary proliferation, segmental sclerosis, , to crescentic glomerulonephritis  

(remember it by keeping in mind the structure of glomerulus in which from center to periphery comes mycangium, capillaries and then epithelium of glomerulus)

I hope it works for you all again 👽

In Sha Allah!

Thank you 💓
