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
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
- Immaturity and low birth weight
- Anoxic
- Birth injury
- Neonatal meningitis
