The face I woke up to this morning. #breakfast #feedme #kibble

This makes me incredibly proud to be a Lakota East Alumni. It is awesome to see this many students come together to help raise awareness and money for Spina Bifida. 

GO HAWKS! 

Demands belly rubs as payment for being my study belly.

T-12 hours until Bacteriology Final. 

Right now thinking Tetracyclines, Tetracyclines, Tetracyclines.

Thank god this isn’t cumulative. 

So many missing are signalment!  Age Species, Breed Gender. I think it is mentioned in almost every clinical orientation lecture/ physical diagnosis lecture/ clinical medicine class and so on!

May is Ehlers Danlos Syndrome Awareness Month

*PLEASE READ AND DO NOT DELETE TEXT*

Ehlers Danlos Syndrome involves many different types and severity’s, some rarer than others. EDS can range from very mild to life threatening as the collagen defect can cause ruptures and tears in the organs and blood vessels. 

Some sufferers of EDS will never know they have it, others will know but it won’t affect them, and for some people, EDS will take over their lives.

Ehlers Danlos Syndrome can cause disability, illness, pain and ultimately death. But as it is so rare, it often goes untreated or the patient receives an inaccurate diagnosis. I was given four different diagnosis’ before we were told it was EDS.

This is why sufferers of this condition need your help.

The month of May is Ehlers Danlos awareness month, spread this photo, share your own knowledge to give the world a better understanding of this horrific genetic condition.

You can find out more about the condition and donate to the cause here. 
Please reblog this, awareness saves lives.

I am proud to be part of the committee who organizes these clinics. I can’t wait to expand to two free clinics a term and starting some education program for the schools here. I promise a longer blog about the clinics with more photos.

Neglected. So neglected.

True Story. 

Studying stops when the coffee does.

Lymphoma in a 5 year old dog.  He presented with a 2 day history of being slightly lethargic and not eating much.  When I examined him, his lymph nodes measured 8cm x 3cm x 3cm in some places, which is almost the size of your computer mouse.  All of his lymph nodes were heavily enlarged.  This was a sample from one of his lymph nodes, showing a homogenous population of cells that show multiple characteristics of malignancy.  

Cytologic characteristics of malignancy include:

- Anisocytosis: cells are the same type, but vary widely in size.  You can see that many of the cells are very small, others large, but they are the same type of cell.

- Anisokaryosis: same cell types, different sized nucleus, another indicator that the genetic programming is going haywire.

- Mitotic figures: the cell in the center without a nucleus is a cell undergoing division and mitosis.  You almost never see a cell doing this in normal samples, but cancer divides frequently.

Luckily the dog is now undergoing chemotherapy.  He may expect an average remission period of 14-17 months with this treatment.  With no treatment, or palliative care only, he was facing a life expectancy of 30-90 days.
