It's 🥶 & we're coming across many cases of peripheral ischemia/gangrene
🔢The semiology of seizures is what we are all taught, but gangrene is another condition where history is the king 👑
🔁It's essentially a demand≠supply mismatch

The 📝 goes on & so that we can save ⏳ & 💰 on the tests, I like to broadly divide the pathology into:
1️⃣Luminal: atherothrombosis, thrombosis (APLA, DIC), cryofibrinogenemia
2️⃣Vessel wall: vasculitis (ANCA, PAN, SLE),vasculopathy (scleroderma spectrum)
3️⃣External compression

Q1️⃣: How was the onset?
🐌Insidious onset, gradual progression is the most common
➡️peripheral vascular disease
➡️most vasculitides
➡️vasculopathy

1\. THIS CHILD & THIS MAN DIED OF #TETANUS!
It is a terrible disease that enters your body through #wounds & can kill in days if nothing is done fast!

2\. #Tetanus results from a #toxin produced by the bacteria called Clostridium tetani.
This toxin makes your muscles to contract on their own (i.e. involuntarily), becoming rigid like this;

3\. Tetanus lives in soil & animal feces. It can live there for years. It may then enter your body through:
-#Wounds contaminated with soil or feces
-Skin #punctures by nonsterile needles (e.g. when injecting illegal drugs, #tattoo or body piercing)
