Abortion Pills Prescribed by Pharmacists Are Newest Effort in Abortion Fight
Washington State’s program is the first, but other states are expected to try allowing pharmacists to prescribe the pills to counter growing efforts to curtail abortion access.

Endovascular Treatment of an Unruptured Symptomatic Intracranial Aneurysm in a Toddler by Riitta Rautio, MD, PhD; et al. (Turku University Hospital, Finland). marketing.webassets.siemens-healthineers.com/54321c5e1e14... #MagnetomWorld #MRI #Stroke #Pediatrics #NeuroSky #PediatricStroke
Upper left the CTA confirming the presence of a large right MCA aneurysm. Anteroposterior DSA images before endovascular treatment demonstrate the slow filling of the aneurysm and the rich collateral
network.
MRI scan performed three months later shows new stroke on the right, as well as the old infarct in the putamen (4A). Axial (4B) and coronal
(4C) post-contrast T1-weighted MR images show that the partially thrombosed MCA aneurysm has grown. The maximum diameter is now
40 mm in coronal plane.

The authors present the case of a previously healthy 20-month-old boy, who appeared normal after waking up in the morning. He was eating breakfast when his parents noticed left-sided paresis and slurred speech. After the child was transported to the university hospital, the left-side weakness persisted with a score of 4 on the National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS).

This report highlights the importance of tailored imaging approaches, as multimodal imaging played a pivotal role in the diagnosis, monitoring, and treatment strategy.

Kienböck's disease is osteonecrosis of the lunate bone due to compromised blood supply. This leads to bone collapse, wrist stiffness, and eventual arthritis if untreated. Early diagnosis is key to preserving joint function. #medicine

Sesamoid bones, like the patella, are ossifications within tendons near joints. They reduce friction, enhance leverage, and redistribute forces to protect tendons under stress. Fun fact: 'Sesamoid' is derived from 'sesame seed' due to their size! 🦵🔬 #Anatomy #medschool

🚨 New hope for liver cancer patients! 🧪 The LEAP-012 trial shows that adding lenvatinib + pembrolizumab to TACE significantly extends progression-free survival in intermediate-stage hepatocellular carcinoma HCC. 📚💙 #LiverCancer #MedicalBreakthrough #medschool #medsky #medical #research #cancer

Transarterial chemoembolisation combined with lenvatinib plus pembrolizumab versus dual placebo for unresectable, non-metastatic hepatocellular carcinoma (LEAP-012): a multicentre, randomised, double-blind, phase 3 study
TACE plus lenvatinib plus pembrolizumab showed significant, clinically meaningful improvement in progression-free survival in patients with unresectable, non-metastatic hepatocellular carcinoma compared with TACE plus placebo. The numerical improvement in overall survival is encouraging, but longer follow-up is necessary.

Medical students are faced with a dilemma: for them to learn, enough people have to get sick, with varied and sometimes terrible illnesses. In order to do no harm, they first need to see some harm.
