Burkitts lymphoma mnemonic
Hey everyone!
A quick "things to remember" list about Burkitts lymphoma for tests!
- B cell lymphoma (B for Burkitts, B for B cells!)
- All types of Burkitt's lymphoma are characterized by disregulation of the c-myc gene.
- Myc (c-Myc) is a regulator gene that codes for a nuclear transcription factor.
- The most common variant is t(8;14).
- The "starry sky" appearance on histology
- It is due to scattered tingible body-laden macrophages (macrophages containing dead body of apoptotic tumor cells).

Plasmodium species that have a dormant liver form (hypnozoites) mnemonic
Hey everyone!
There are 4 Plasmodium species - P. falciparum, P. malariae, P. vivax and P. ovale.
Did you know that P. vivax and P. ovale have a dormant stage (hypnozoites) that can persist in the liver? It can cause relapses by invading the bloodstream weeks, or even years later!

Peroneal nerve branches and foot drop mnemonic
"Super everter, deep dorsiflexer."
Superficial peroneal nerve (superficial fibular nerve) supplies the fibularis longus (peroneus longus) and fibularis brevis (peroneus brevis). These muscles evert the foot.
The deep fibular nerve (deep peroneal nerve) supplies the tibialis anterior, extensor digitorum longus, fibularis (peroneus) tertius, and extensor hallucis longus (propius). These muscles dorsiflex the foot.
Foot drop is due to deep peroneal nerve palsy. You can remember Drop and Deep as they both start with D.
The skin over the greater part of the dorsum of the foot is supplied by the superficial fibular nerve with the exception of the first web space, which is innervated by the deep peroneal nerve.

You can remember most of the superficial stuff (the skin) is supplied by the superficial nerve!
