Excerpt from physical therapy assessment note on a patient who underwent kyphoplasty at T7 the previous day for 10/10 pain with inability to ambulate.
What I like to see POD 1 s/p T7 kypho for subacute fracture with 10/10 pain.

I'm dumb. I can't figure out how to end world hunger. But I do promise that I will continue to change healthcare in this country and make it more affordable, possibly setting a path towards Universal Healthcare.
5/6 📌 Conclusion: Understanding pain pathways in cancer can guide treatment choices, emphasizing the need for comprehensive pain management strategies.

4/6 Treatment insights:
- Regularly reevaluate oral medications
- Consider multimodal analgesia
- Explore interventional pain procedures: intrathecal therapy & neuromodulation as effective treatments for managing chronic pain 🏥🔬

3/6 Cancer-related pain involves:
- Nociceptive pain: Activated by tissue injury
- Neuropathic pain: Resulting from nerve damage
Both types can lead to central and peripheral sensitization, making effective management crucial
2/6 Pain in cancer patients can arise from:
- Mechanical compression by tumors
- Release of algogenic substances
- Complications of oncologic treatment
These elements contribute to chronic pain through neuroinflammation and sensitization
1/6 🚨 Did you know that cancer pain is often the first symptom reported, significantly affecting quality of life?
Discover insights on pain pathways and treatment options in the latest paper from CVIR, emphasizing multimodal analgesia💊 👇

The more I pay attention to transitional lumbosacral anatomy (specifically analyzed in all my L-spine reports), the more I find clinically significant implications. Lumbarized S1 w/ last well-formed disc space S1-2. How many fractures can you find?

Give the dubs a try. Modern dubs are far superior to the antiquated stuff from the 90s and early 00s. Different vibe than the original Japanese, but better, in my (completely unbiased 😜) opinion.
She’s an actress known by her maiden name, Lindsay Seidel, best known for several hundred anime credits including Gabi in AoT and Nagisa in AC, Nejire in MHA, and many many more
Assassination Classroom would be a good palette cleanser after the grimness of AoT. Much more comedic. (Full disclosure, my wife also stars in that one as well as AoT. 😁)
Different vertebral fractures need different approaches: kyphoplasty, vertebroplasty, mechanical augmentation, and sometimes nothing. Important to know how and when to use each method.
