He likes to call the scaphoid fracture as the Spiderman fracture. Why?
Because it's caused by supination and dorsiflexion of wrist.
(Just like how spidey throws his web!)

Here's a cool fact:
Monroe Kenri's law states that cerebral perfusion pressure = Mean blood pressure (MBP) - Intracranial pressure (ICP)
Hence, in cases of increased ICT or intrcranial heamorrhage, BP rises.
This is physiological so that blood supply to the brain can be maintained.
Hence, in cases of stroke, never try to reduce BP unless it is above 200. If you reduce BP, the blood supply to brain is compromised.
Cushing's triad in cases of increased ICT:
1. Increased BP
2. Bradycardia
3. Irregular respiration.
(Because increased ICP compresses the brain stem)

This is a short post on pharmacology!
Bleomycin is inactivated by a cytosolic cysteine proteinase enzyme, Bleomycin hydrolase.
This enzyme is widely distributed in normal tissues with the exception of the skin and lungs, both targets of Bleomycin toxicity.
This is why, Bleomycin causes pulmonary fibrosis.
It's also why bleomycin is used in skin cancers like squamous cell cancer.
That's all!
