Why von Willebrand disease has normal aPTT sometimes ?
VWF acts as a carrier protein for factor VIII. Factor VIII is more rapidly degraded when unbound, and VWF deficiency can therefore lead to impairment of the intrinsic coagulation pathway leading to a prolonged activated PTT.

Mnemonic for pregnancy complications with short inter pregnancy interval
Definition : <6-18 months from delivery to next pregnancy
During pregnancy, maternal folate and iron are depleted for fetal development, and the resulting maternal anemia is exacerbated by normal blood loss during delivery (eg, up to 10%-20% of blood volume). In breastfeeding women, continued nutritional demands from the newborn prevent repletion of normal folate and iron stores, resulting in prolonged anemia!

Short mnemonic!
Isolated SSRI overdose = Asx / mild CNS Depression
If symptomatic SSRI overdose with altered mental status & abnormal physical findings.
Then Check for “ECG”
Mnemonic = ECG!
E = ECG ( As Citalopram & Escitalopram can cause QT prolongation )

G = Glucose levels ( rule out hypoglycemia as a cause of altered mental status)
