Septic Shock

Today's Medical Topic:  The spleen.  What does it do?  Why do we have one?  Let's find out.

Off the Top of My Head:   Septic shock is a really terrible outcome of septicemia which is a diffuse infection in your blood stream. I know septic shock is something you rarely survive.  I know that it is a continuous positive feedback loop that creates a cascade event that kills you but I am unsure of the mechanics and chemical changes that occur to make this happen.

Even I understand this feedback loop.

My Research Today:  Sepsis is caused by a bacterial, fungal, or (rarely) viral infection that has gotten into your blood stream.  It is more common in elderly and very young people.  Septic shock is an acute inflammatory response to the infection in your blood stream which can cause all sorts of problems leading to death.

It can also be caused by Snookie

This inflammatory response from the invading pathogen is actually from the toxins the pathogen produces.  This in turn can cause a cascading multiple organ failure in which your body cannot maintain homeostasis due to the organ damage from the toxins.  This will lead to cardiogenic shock which is the inability of your heart to output an adequate amount of oxygenated blood.  This causes cell death throughout your body.

The inflammation can also cause pulmonary edema making your lungs fill with fluid and then you drown in your own juices.  I am not sure if this is preferable to the above option or not.

Pulmonary edema can also be caused by Snookie.

So in this case the inflammatory response is a positive feedback loop of your body overworking to try to fight the infection which ends up making things worse.  As it progresses it compounds the inflammation exponentially.

Most management is supportive care, like a mechanical ventilator, hemologic or support to keep your blood pressure up.  Your body either survives until antibiotics can take effect or dies due to massive organ damage.

Welp, I am done for the day.

Wednesdays

I am taking 15 credits this semester which is apparently 3 more than you usually take and I need to average a 3.75 GPA in them.  So painful.  I will post when I can.

The Spleen

Today's Medical Topic:  The spleen.  What does it do?  Why do we have one?  Let's find out.

Off the Top of My Head:  I know it is part of your lymphatic system and your lymphatic system produces all kinds of hormones and proteins.  Your lymphatic system has a lot to do with fluid balancing.  I think the spleen has something to do with your immune system though I don't know what.

That guy.

My Research Today:  Jammed up under the left side of your ribs lies the spleen.  Your lymphatic system helps return lost fluids back into the blood stream, it also helps fight infection by filtering out microbes in lymph nodes.  Which is why lymph nodes can get swollen when you are sick.

The lymph nodes contain a type of white blood cells called lymphocytes that help fight infections.  The spleen houses a large store of lymphocytes as well as the most baller of all white blood cells.  The macrophage.

Macrophage reporting for duty sir!  What do
you want me to eat?

The macrophage is like the Borg in Star Trek.  You will be assimilated.  Resistance is futile.  Macrophages literally swallow bacteria whole and destroy them on a molecular level.  The United States  Navy wishes it had a boat as effective as a macrophage.

The USS Macrophage eating another boat.

Macrophages also eat anything else that isn't supposed to be there.  Random debris, dead tissue, whatever.  Anything in your blood stream that isn't yours or is dead gets eaten by macrophage cells in your spleen.

So now we know why it is so important to have your spleen.  It is possibly the most gangsta of organs.  Have a good night and remember:  All your organs are there for a reason.

Mondays

I might not be able to blog on Mondays for a while.  I have over 8 hours of class and labs and 2 hours of driving on this day and I am pretty tired when I get home.  So for the moment no blogs on Mondays.  I will get back at it tomorrow.

Silicosis

Today's Medical Topic:  I think I forgot to post yesterday so I guess I will do two today.  So lets see what do we have two of?  Most people have two lungs.  Have we done silicosis?  Let's do that.

Off the Top of My Head:  Silicosis is particles accumulated in your lung like sand that leads to pneumonia and drowning in your own fluids.  I am not sure of the exact mechanics of it.  I know it is similar to black lung that coal miners used to get and I know it was very prevalent in the midwest during the dustbowl.

My Research Today:  Silica is a naturally occurring crystal in many rocks.  It is the main component of sand.  Silicosis is the buildup of fine silica particles inhaled into your lung tissue that create scar tissue and fluid accumulation.  How do you build up these particles?  Sand blasting without a respirator is a good way.  So is working in a glass factory without proper protection.

The hazy stuff is sand.  I think.

Silicosis comes in three flavors.  Simple Chronic Silicosis is the most common and results from over 20 years of silica exposure.  The sand gets jammed in your lungs and creates lymph swelling in the area  which causes chronic difficulty breathing.  I imagine it is similar to CHF or COPD.

Accelerated Silicosis comes from 5 to 15 years of heavier silica exposure.  The symptoms are the same to Simple Chronic Silicosis but occur faster.  Finally Acute Silicosis is can be caused over the course of a few days and results from massive unprotected exposure to silica dust.

I have actually seen Acute Silicosis first hand.  When I used to work in a machine shop we used something called CAB-O-SIL as a filler in fiberglass resins.  CAB-O-SIL is microscopic balloons of silica used to make resin lighter.  One of the guys I worked with ignored the warnings and dumped a bunch of it into resin and started mixing without protection.  Needless to say he inhaled a lot of it.

This stuff.

He ended up with a pretty bad dust pneumonia and permanent lung damage from the scarring.  It seemed pretty damn painful.  He started feeling the symptoms about an hour after mixing the stuff up and was in the hospital the next day.  Sucks to not follow directions I guess.

Anyways, that is good enough for tonight.  Remember, if you have a suggestion, drop me a line.

Why asparagus makes your pee smell bad.

Today's Medical Topic:  Why asparagus makes your pee smell bad.

Off the Top of My Head:  Asparagus has a tendency to make your pee smell bad within 2 hours of consuming it.  Why does that happen?

My Research Today:  Asparagus contains merceptan which is a sulfur compound.  Other things contain this compound including rotten eggs.  When your body metabolizes merceptan.  The result of the enzyme braking down the sulfur compound creates the smell.

Sulfur looks cooler than it is.

After it is broken down your kidneys dump the chemical into your bladder and bobs your uncle, your pee smells like asparagus.

Interestingly enough only a certain percentage of the population have the gene that metabolizes merceptan.  I have seen anywhere from 22 to 45% of people have this gene based on race.  Most estimates state that either half of the population has the enzyme or half of the population can discern the smell.

I guess sometimes the glass really is half full.

Needless to say it really isn't worth millions of dollars to study but somewhere along the line someone figured it out.  So the funky smell is some sort of sulfurous compound broken down by an enzyme in your body.

I hope you all are enlightened and enjoyed this venture into medical science.

Voluntary Rapid Eye Movement

Today's Medical Topic:  I promised you two today so we are doing something about eyes!  Voluntary Rapid Eye Movement.

Off the Top of My Head:  A lot of people know about the Rapid Eye Movement (REM) stage of sleep in which our eyes "twitch" involuntarily.  Did you know that some people can initiate this movement consciously on demand?  I didn't.

My Research Today:  The technical term for this kind of rapid eye movement is called a saccade.  A saccade is defined as the abrupt, rapid, short movements of both eyes simultaneously in changing of the point of fixation.  This is usually involuntary, however there are people that can rapidly twitch their eyes voluntarily.

Get it?  Rapid eye movement?
That's the joke.

The movement is further classified as a version gaze shifting eye movement.  A version eye movement is is an eye movement in which both eyes move in the same direction.  A gaze shifting movement is exactly what it sounds like.

This movement requires the part of your brain called the frontal eye fields which is in the prefrontal cortex.  Electrical stimulation to the frontal eye fields initiate saccadic eye movements.  Your eye has six extraocular muscles that control movement.

I know what you are thinking.  How do you do this?  And I have no idea.  I asked someone that could do it what they did to make it happen voluntarily and they told me they didn't know.  They said they just sort of concentrated on it and it happened.  It looks pretty freaky.  Check out this video:

Have a good night and I will type at you later.

Why Men Have Nipples

Today's Medical Topic:  Why do men have nipples?

Off the Top of My Head:  Often a common question, I am not sure why men have nipples.  What would we use them for?

My Research Today:  According to Scientific American nipples in male mammals "illustrate a constrained evolutionary result."  A child inherits one copy of every gene from each parent.  The difference between the genetic traits inherited between male and female differ based on optimal traits for reproduction.

At least we don't have these.

So genetic traits differ to maximize the potential for reproduction between males and females.  Nipples on women are obviously important for reproduction but are vestigial remnants of the genetic trait for men.  Men having nipples is a structural and physical by-product of women having nipples.

Simply put:  Men have nipples because women do.

Chronic Pruritis

Today's Medical Topic:  Chronic Pruritis

Off the Top of My Head:  My friend Ben wants to know what chronic pruritis is and how you treat it so I will give it a shot.  Pruritis is itching by the way.  I assume it has something to do with a continual release of histamines but I don't know.

My Research Today:  Chronic itching is defined as an unpleasant sensation with an accompanying desire to scratch the effected area that is greater than six weeks in duration.  The most common cause of itching that is not related to an allergic response is dry skin.

She is either itchy or about to be stabbed.  I can't tell.

Itching sensations that are chronic can stem from many different diseases of dermatological, systemic, or neurological origin.  Most of the time it is difficult to diagnose and cannot be simply treated.

Why does this show up on a Google
image search for itching?

Some medication can cause itching as a side effect especially opioids like morphine.  Itching that is diffuse throughout your body can be caused by anything from physical stimuli like wool to diabetic neuropathy which is a central nervous system dysfunction.  Itching in specific locations is usually dermatological in origin and should be investigated by a dermatologist.  It is also possible that there could be something in your skin like fiberglass strands that are not visible.

I'm sorry, Ben, that probably wasn't helpful at all, but I tried.

Neuromodulators.

Today's Medical Topic:  Neuromodulators

Off the Top of My Head:  I assume they modulate neurological activity but I am not entirely sure exactly what they do so let's find out.

My Research Today:  A neuromodulator is defined as any substance other than a meurotransmitter, that is released by a neuron to transmit information to other neurons and alter their activity.  So in plain English a neuromodulator fucks with your normal information transfer between neurons.

Yeah, all this stuff.

Many things are neuromodulators, not all of them bad, however, some can be devestating.  THC, the active ingredient in marijuana is a neruomodulator that effects synaptic plasticity, motor learning, appetite and pain sensation.  Synaptic plasticity is the strength of transmission between neurons.  Basically THC slows everything down and over time can cause permanent damage to synaptic plasticity with chronic use.

Neuromodulators do not breakdown easily and spend a significant amount of time in your spinal fluid continuously affecting brain activity.  This could be a good thing, like affecting your serotonin system and acting as an antidepressant.  Alternately it could be a bad thing and effect your cholinergic system and ruin your motor control or make it so you can't pee.

Well, I am keeping this brief because I barely understand this topic.  It is very complicated and I don't have the time to really dissect it.  Have a good night and don't smoke weed.  It's bad for you.

Why Pee Is Yellow

Today's Medical Topic:  Why is pee yellow?

Off the Top of My Head:  You can tell a lot about someone's health simply by the color of their urine. Typically pee is yellowish but can be other colors depending on diet and disease.  Let's explore this topic.

The yellow m&m isn't naturally yellow;
he actually just has hepatitis.

My Research Today:  Pee is naturally somewhat yellow in healthy individuals.  The reason for this is the way our body breaks down old red blood cells, specifically hemoglobin, which is the molecule responsible for the transport of oxygen.  A byproduct of this process is a yellow pigment produced called urochrome which is filtered by the kidneys and secreted as waste.

This pigment is of course watered down.  Well hydrated people will have lighter colored or clear urine.  Dark urine is a sign of fairly significant dehydration.  Other things that can make your pee appear brighter yellow or even orange are multivitamins or some medicines.  Any water-soluble vitamins or minerals that our body cannot immediately use or store is filtered out in the kidneys.

I assure you your body cannot use all of this at once.

Well short article today.  I am pretty tired.  Have a good night.

Nose Hair

Today's Medical Topic:  A very misunderstood body part, nose hair is typically treated with disdain.  But why do we have it and what does it do?

Off the Top of My Head:  Nose hair seems thicker than the hair you find on most of your body.  I assume it's primary function is to keep dust and other particles from entering your trachea and lungs.  It probably does some other stuff too.  Perhaps like you ear hair the follicles secrete mucus or something?

It is a veritable forest in there.

My Research Today:  Nose hair indeed stops particles from entering your trachea and lungs but it does more than that.  It also, with the help of snot, can trap spores, toxins, and even bacteria and viruses.

Damn, girl!

The thickness of nose hair varies from person to person but there is a link to lower incidences of asthma with thicker nose hair.  So if you have dense thickets of hair it is actually a blessing in disguise.

Your nose hair does one more important thing.  The mucus on your nasal hair humidifies incoming air for your lungs and larynx.  You shouldn't pluck your nose hair.  For one, your nose is not a sterile place, please refer to the bacteria trapping mentioned above.  The other reason is that you can damage your nasal mucosa.

Maybe should do something
with that though.

If you need to trim your nose hair because it is sticking out leave some behind.  It might keep you from getting the next cold going around.

Bone Saws

Today's Medical Topic:  A history of bone saws.

Off the Top of My Head:  Bone saws have evolved in medicine over time from something you would find in your shed to the latest state-of-the-art stainless steel power tools used today.  Let's take a look at some of the highlights in the history of sawing through bone and flesh.

My Research Today:  The earliest known bone saws were probably bronze and developed by the Romans in the 4th Century A.D.  A notable saw was a cylinder with teeth on one end driven by a bow used to put holes in skulls.  Trepanation used to be much more popular than it is these days.

That would have worked if you hadn't stopped me.

In the 1600's steel bone saws came into popularity especially for battlefield amputations.  They came in all shapes and sizes but rarely differed from something you might cut wood with.  With improvements in metallurgy in the 1700's steel strength increased and lighter more delicate saws allowed for slightly less brutality.  More specialized saws for different tasks and surgeries were also created.

Still is pretty much a hack saw.

An interesting variant is a hand chain saw which first appeared in the 1850's or 60's.  A modern type is still sometimes used today.  They are used for limb amputations for crush injuries when the limb cannot be saved and the patient cannot otherwise be removed from the situation.  The chain is wrapped around the limb and quickly pulled back and forth with the handles.  It makes the amputation as quick as possible and saws though the flesh muscle and bone at the same time.

That's an 1860's model.

With better understanding of sterile procedure bone saws became stainless steel that could be autoclaved by the 1900's.  The overall shapes of the saws did not change a lot but the manufacturing of them became much less expensive and saws could be replaced easily instead of resharpened.

Still looks like you would cut wood with it.

The design above is called a Saterlee Saw and is a design that has existed since the Civil War. The first powered surgical bone saw was developed in 1880 but was expensive to produce and not available to most surgeons.  Saterlee saws were used well into the 1900's and may still be used today.

Ooh, Harvest Jet, that really
inspires confidence.

New state-of-the-art saws are actually lasers and high speed water jets that shoot sterile saline to cut bone and flesh.  The one above there is used for cutting out fat.  I am sure it is really cool and expensive.  They don't list the price so if you have to ask you can't afford it.  It does come in three different colors though.

Well, I am done for the night, have a good one.

Needle Drivers.

Today's Medical Topic:  Needle Drivers

Off the Top of My Head:  It sounds like something bad ass but somehow I think I will be disappointed.  I know it is a surgical tool but am not entirely sure what it is.  Since I am trying to learn how to suture and you use them to hold suture needles, I would like to know more and see what kinds of them there are.

My Research Today:  Also called a needle holder, a needle driver is a surgical instrument that are forcep-like and used to hold and pass a needle though tissue.  Like most surgical instruments they come in various sizes and shapes depending on the use and type of tissue being sewn.

That is some really thick nylon right there.

This is a basic needle driver for suturing most external lacerations and wounds.  They are pretty much forceps except some of them have a little notch in the end to better hold the needle.  These are pretty boring but I promise it will get more interesting.

It probably looks cooler than it is.

This is a fine needle driver for extremely delicate work with very tiny needles.  This model is called a "Castro Locking Driver"  It is used for eye surgery or precise plastic surgery.  They are spring loaded so the doctor can adjust tension on the needle as needed.  I will spare you the pictures of eye surgery associated with them.

Ortho guys always know how to ruin a party.

Heavy duty needle drivers are pretty damn big and used mostly for orthopedic work.  They jam gigantic needles through tough tissue like cartilage and tendons.  They are way less pointy too probably to reduce the chance of the tips breaking.  I don't know if you've ever seen ortho guys work but framing a house is more delicate than most orthopedic procedures.

Probably also used in the Spanish Inquisition.

This one is really cool but looks horrifying.  That is a laproscopic needle driver.  The a close up is of the tiny grippy part that holds the needle.  The big end stays outside of your body, at least I hope it does.  It works like those things they make for old people to get stuff off of high shelves.  This one is probably more expensive and much smaller.

There are some other very specialized needle drivers but I do not think it would further my edification of the subject to discuss them.  I hope you found this interesting.  If you'd like more articles on surgical instruments then please send me a message.

Carbohydrates

Today's Medical Topic:  Carbohydrates AKA carbs.

Off the Top of My Head:  Any dieter will tell you that carbs are the devil but that simply isn't true.  Carbohydrates are your body's most easily accessible form of energy and carbs exist in different forms and quantities throughout your body and not all of them make you fat.  Let's look at the basic carbs we use.

100% Carbs right there.

My Research Today:  Used as structural material and energy sources by your body carbohydrates are composed of carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen.  Here is your big word for the day:  Saccharides which is another word for carbohydrates.  Saccharides come in three basic categories which are boring as hell but let's do this anyways.

• Monosaccharides consist of single carb molecules.  The most basic and prevalent of these in your body is glucose. There are other monosaccharides too but I don't wanna talk about them.
• Disaccharides consist of two of the monosaccharides covalently bonded to each other.  Sucrose for example is table sugar and is one glucose molecule bonded with a fructose molecule.
• Finally polysaccharides, also known as "complex carbs" in the dieting world are innumerable monosaccharides bonded together. Starches and cellulose are among polysaccharides.  Glycogen  is a complex of thousands of glucose molecules that is stored in our skeletal muscles and liver for immediate energy release.

Damn carbon is responsible for damn near everything. Look at it there with 4 electrons in it's outer shell like a bitch.

So carbs do all kinds of things for us including making some of us sick.  Lactose is a carb found in milk and is a disaccharide of glucose and galactose.  People who are lactose intolerant have difficulty processing galactose which is why they get the stomach pain and the mud butt.

Now that's the kind of mud butt I'm talking about!

So as you can see, it isn't that carbs are bad it is just the kind of carbs and the quantity that we consume that can be bad.  Too much simple carbs turn into fat.  Everything in moderation.  Holy crap this is boring.  I need to start studying something else.  Have a good night everyone.
