Time for a #CriticalCare #Tweetorial!

‼️Basics of CRRT for the non-nephrologist‼️

Exiting my typical #Neurology wheelhouse as I tackle some #FOAMcc topics for my own learning. Please join in on teaching and address any mistakes!

1/🧵 CRRT- What does it stand for?!

Continuous- Runs around the clock (sort of)
Renal- The beans!
Replacement- More of a rinse than a true replacement
Therapy- It helps!

‼️#Tweetorial Time‼️

“Spinal Cord Vascular Supply”

For my pub in @NeurologyCP I reviewed the vasc supply of this small space in the CNS!

@MedTweetorials @RealDrHu @RyanBPetersonMD @Gradydoctor @EmmGeezee @Tracey1milligan @AaronLBerkowitz #MedEd
1/ I relied heavily on @neuroangio1 which has a great in depth break down.

Don’t worry, as their figure shows, this is SUPER easy stuff 🤯.

(This is the experts course)

#Tweetorial! Join me on a saga through history and the fields of #Neurology #Neurosurgery and #Pathology! This was prompted by Neuropathology rounds today with @StewartGNeill

"Foix-Alajouanine Syndrome"

@MedTweetorials #MedEd
1/ "Gesundheit" was my first thought when @StewartGNeill said "Foix-Alajouanine" but some reading turned up some interesting facts about this eponym..

#Tweetorial time! A little late this week as I’ve been busy on inpatient. Transitioning to #CommonNeuroConsults and this week will start with a #stroke and #ophthalmology topic @DGlaucomflecken @MedTweetorials #meded #medstudenttwitter

“Transient Monocular Vision Loss”
1/ You may also hear this called “amaurosis fugax” and can be due to an ocular cause, a vascular cause, or an optic nerve head problem!
2/

#Tweetorial! Continuing with the #NeuroBootCamp my co-chiefs and I are leading @EmoryNeurology on #NeuroEmergencies, today’s #MedEd topic will be:
“Myasthenic Crisis”

Keep in mind I’m approaching this with my #NeuroCritCare hat on @MedTweetorials
1/ Some basic background info: Myasthenia Gravis is an autoimmune disorder causing faulty neuromuscular junction transmission. Typically due to one of the following antibodies:
-AchR
-MuSK
-LRP4
-Can be seronegative

20% have crisis within 1st yr of diagnosis!

In honor of nearly 1000 followers and my first official week as #ChiefNeurologyResident, a brief #Tweetorial! Picking a simple topic I found extremely confusing as a #medstudent and #NeurologyIntern “CNS Anatomical Orientation”
@MedTweetorials
1/ Dorsal, rostrum, anterior, inferior.... why can’t we just say front, back, bottom, and top?!

This actually goes back to embryology. So a brief tangent...
