Nasal septal fracture Mnemonic

I have tried to make a mnemonic for nasal cartilage septal fracture by making some association with the name


Jarjaway fracture = make me think pike George is away. That he means he walked on some path and paths are generally horizontal. So fracture is horizontal. And for horizontal fractures we need blow from front 


Chevalier fracture = makes me think of shovel and you know when it is used it is struck on the ground almost inclined or vertical. So vertical fracture and for that fracture we need blow from below 


I hope these associations work for you

InShaAllah

Thank you❤

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

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

Mnemonic | Ramsay Hunt Syndrome

Here is a mnemonic for Ramsay hunt syndrome triad 

Taken from the name of the disease:

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!

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馃懡❤

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

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 馃ゲ)

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馃槀) 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!

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

     

             

               

Mesangial proliferation

       

            

 

 

Immunofluorescence

Linear staining

       

             

               

Granular staining

       

              

               

Dense immune complex deposits

       

              

               



I hope it will help you in remembering the morphology 

In Sha Allah

see you soon with something new again IA
