Postductal coarctation of the aorta occurs when the aorta is abnormally constricted. A postductal coarctation is found distal to the origin of the left subclavian artery and inferior to the ductus arteriosus. It is clinically associated with increased blood pressure in the upper extremities, lack of pulse in femoral artery, high risk of both cerebral hemorrhage, and bacterial endocarditis. Collateral circulation around the constriction involves the internal thoracic, intercostal, superior epigastric, inferior epigastric, and external iliac arteries. Dilation of the intercostal arteries causes erosion of the lower border of the ribs (called "rib notching"), which can be seen on X-ray. Less commonly, a preductal coarctation may occur where the constriction is located superior to the ductus arteriosus. Normally the ductus arteriosus functionally closes within a few hours after birth via smooth muscle contraction to ultimately form the ligamentum arteriosum. The venous system develops from the vitelline, umbilical, and cardinal veins that empty into the sinus venosus. These veins undergo remodeling due to a redirection of venous blood from the left side of the body to the right side in order to empty into the right atrium. On the right side, the distal part of aortic arch 6 regresses, and the right recurrent laryngeal nerve moves up to hook around the right subclavian artery. On the left side, aortic arch 6 persists as the ductus arteriosus (or ligamentum arteriosus in the adult); the left recurrent laryngeal nerve remains hooked around the ductus arteriosus. His son remarked that he "just felt really tired" when he was running after the ball. Coarctation of the aorta would show a holosystolic murmur; however, there was no finding of a lack of a femoral pulse or rib notching. The primitive gut tube is formed from the incorporation of the dorsal part of the yolk sac into the embryo due to the craniocaudal folding and lateral folding of the embryo. The primitive gut tube extends from the oropharyngeal membrane to the cloacal membrane and is divided into the foregut, midgut, and hindgut. Early in development, the epithelial lining the gut tube proliferates rapidly and obliterates the lumen. The foregut is divided into the esophagus dorsally and the trachea ventrally by the tracheoesophageal folds, which fuse to form the tracheoesophageal septum. It is associated clinically with polyhydramnios (fetus is unable to swallow amniotic fluid) and a tracheoesophageal fistula. The photograph in Figure 7-2A (posterior view) shows that the esophagus terminates blindly in a blunted esophageal pouch (arrow). There is a distal esophageal connection with the trachea at the carina (arrowhead). Esophageal stenosis occurs when the lumen of the esophagus is narrowed and usually involves the midesophagus. The stenosis may be caused by submucosal/muscularis externa hypertrophy, remnants of the tracheal cartilaginous ring within the wall of the esophagus, or a membranous diaphragm obstructing the lumen probably due to incomplete recanalization. The micrograph in Figure 7-2B shows the stratified squamous epithelial lining of the esophagus and submucosal glands. Note that a portion of the muscular wall contains remnants of cartilage (arrow), which contributes to a stenosis. Achalasia occurs due to the loss of ganglion cells in the myenteric (Auerbach) plexus and is characterized by the failure to relax the lower esophageal sphincter, which will cause progressive dysphagia and difficulty in swallowing. A fusiform dilatation forms in the foregut in week 4, which gives rise to the primitive stomach. Figure 7-3A Diagram depicting the development and 90 rotation of the stomach from week 4 through week 6. Hypertrophic py- loric stenosis occurs when the muscularis externa in the pyloric region hypertrophies, causing a narrow pyloric lumen that obstructs food passage. It is associated clinically with projectile, nonbilious vomiting after feeding and a small, palpable mass at the right costal margin; increased incidence has been found in infants treated with the antibiotic erythromycin.

Across the wall on the Female side we could easily hear Thode and Donni Stott invoking Camilla, goddess of speed and light step. Then Loach puts a liner-sock and a wick-sock over the tape, then slides on the little inflatable AirCast deal and pumps it to the right pressure, checking with a little gauge, and Velcros it just tight enough for support plus max-flexion. Because of the towel over his head all you could see was a very thin oval section of his face, like an almond on its end. Wayne got to have a small disk-player in his locker, and Joni Mitchell was playing, which nobody ever minded because he kept it very low. Like they said asking Loach if the pre-match locker room ever gave him a weird feeling, occluded, electric, as if all this had been done and said so many times before it made you feel it was recorded, they all in here existed basically as Fourier Transforms of postures and little routines, locked down and stored and call-uppable for rebroadcast at specified times. His face today had assumed various expressions ranging from distended hilarity to scrunched grimace, expressions that seemed unconnected to anything that was going on. The word was that Tavis and Schtitt had chartered three buses to take the squads to an indoor venue Mrs. Inc had had alumnus Corbett Th-Thorp call in mammoth favors to arrange - several mostly unused courts somewhere in the deep-brain tissue of the M. Schacht entered a stall and drove the latch home with a certain purposeful sound that produced that momentary gunslinger-enters-saloon-type hush throughout the locker room. Nobody in the vicinity could say they heard Barry Loach respond one way or another to any of the strange moody things Hal was saying as Loach locked down the ankle for high-level play. In outline form, the saga goes that Loach grew up as the youngest child of an enormous Catholic family, the parents of which were staunch Catholics of the old school of extremely staunch Catholicism, and that Mrs. And so on, until there was just one other Loach child and then Barry Loach, who was the youngest and also totally under Mrs. Loach just about prostrate with disappointment, and had young Barry suddenly reweighted with dread and anxiety, because if his brother bailed out of the clergy it would be nearly irresistibly incumbent on Barry, the very last Loach, to give up his true vocation of splints and flexion and enter seminary himself, to keep his staunch and beloved Mom from dying of disappointment. Since a basic absence of empathy and compassion and taking-the-risk-to-reach-out seemed to him now an ineluctable part of the human character. In outline, it eventually boiled down to this: a desperate Barry Loach - with Mrs. And then what happened with the spiritually infirm older brother and whither he fared and what happened with his vocation never gets resolved in the E. The inverted glass was the size of a cage or small jail cell, but it was still recognizably a bathroom-type tumbler, as if for gargling or post-brushing swishing, only huge and upside-down, on the floor, with him inside. The tumbler was like a prop or display; it was the sort of thing that would have to be made special. Its glass was green and its bottom over his head was pebbled and the light inside was the watery dancing green of extreme ocean depths. There was a kind of louvered screen or vent high on one side of the glass, but no air was coming out. The face at eye-level belonged to the latest Subject, the dexterous and adoring Swiss hand-model. She stood looking at him, her arms crossed, smoking, exhaling greenly through her nose, then looked down to confer with another face, seeming to float at about waist-level, that belonged to the shy and handicapped fan who O. Every few seconds Orin wiped the steam of his breath away from the thick glass to see what the faces were doing. His foot really was hurt, and the remains of whatever had made him fall asleep so hard really were making him sick to his stomach, and in sum this experience was pretty clearly not one of his bad dreams, but Orin, #71, was in deep denial about its not being a dream. The stilted amplified voice that came periodically through the small screen or vent above him, demanding to know Where Is the Master Buried, was surreal and bizarre and inexplicable enough to Orin to make him grateful: it was the sort of surreal disorienting nightmarish incomprehensible but vehement demand that often gets made in really bad dreams. Plus the bizarre anxiety of not being able to get the adoring Subject to acknowledge anything he said through the glass. He remembered being young on the playground and telling Maura Duffy to look down her shirt and spell attic. A voice that sounded like his own brainvoice with an echo said to never try and pull a weight that exceeds you. The harsh sound he heard up close was the tape around his unshaved mouth getting ripped off him so quick he hardly felt it. He heard conversing people in the hall passing the open door and stopping for a second to look in, but still conversing. It occurred to him if he died everybody would still exist and go home and eat and X their wife and go to sleep. A conversing voice at the door laughed and told somebody else it was getting harder these days to tell the homosexuals from the people who beat up homosexuals.

About half of respondents use single-donor platelets, about 10% use platelets pooled from 2 to 3 donors, and about 25% use apheresis-prepared platelets. Pooling donors results in more donor exposures, and the volume reduction needed after pooling reduces platelet viability. Between 60% and 70% of respondents use only irradiated platelets for all neonatal platelet transfusions. Newborn nurseries in Colorado, New Mexico, and Utah, 4000 to 5500 feet above sea level, have reported much higher reference ranges for blood neutrophil concentrations during the first 3 days after birth than nurseries at or near sea level. Figure 12-13 shows the reference ranges for high-altitude and sea-level centers superimposed. Reference ranges are shown for blood neutrophil counts during the first 3 days after birth. The dark-gray scale indicates the reference range for counts obtained from neonates near sea-level (identified as Manroe). The black dots represent 14 healthy term neonates in Utah who would have been termed "neutrophilic" according to the Manroe chart but were seen to be well within the high-altitude reference ranges. Perhaps the opposite is also true; neonates at sea level could have the diagnosis of neutrophilia missed if the reference range for high-altitude centers is used. The infant is small for gestational age with asymmetric growth retardation; birth weight is below 5th percentile, length is at the 20th percentile, and the occipital-frontal circumference falls at the 40th percentile. It is important to consider that the hypotension, metabolic acidosis, and respiratory distress accompanying the neutropenia and left shift are manifestations of sepsis. Which of the following steps would be appropriate for evaluating the neutropenia in this neonate? The pathologist reports that the neutrophil concentration on the blood film is indeed low, that the rare neutrophils present appear mature and morphologically normal, and that the other leukocytes and the erythrocytes and platelets also appear normal. She never had a diagnosis of neutropenia or an autoimmune disorder, and her two previous children were healthy with no known medical problems. Can you construct a reasonable differential diagnosis for this variety of neonatal neutropenia? Although this could be one of the subtypes of severe congenital neutropenia, those are extremely rare. Given that the patient is not ill and has no left shift, this is not the neutropenia of overwhelming sepsis. The antibodies bind to fetal neutrophils, which express an antigen inherited from the father that is absent in the mother. These maternal immunoglobulin G antibodies can result in severe neutropenia before and after birth. One such outstanding laboratory is the American Red Cross North Central Blood Services in St. We generally do so if the neutropenia is severe (<500/L) for several days, if it is in the range of 500 to 999/L for approximately 1 week, or if the patient has a bacterial infection. A dose of 10 g/kg given subcutaneously once daily for about 3 days will usually result in an absolute neutrophil count greater than 1000/L. Subsequent doses may be needed to keep the absolute neutrophil count above 1000/L. The duration of the condition roughly corresponds to the disappearance of maternal antineutrophil antibody from the neonate, which sometimes takes up to 2 months or so. These mutations each produce a gene product that folds into an incorrect three-dimensional shape. The abnormal neutrophil elastase protein accumulates in neutrophils and damages or kills these cells before they are fully mature. The phenotype of Kostmann syndrome is similar to that of severe congenital neutropenia type 1 but is more clinically heterogenous. Expected values, also called reference ranges, for eosinophil counts on the day of birth are a function of gestational age, increasing gradually through the second and third trimesters. The 95th percentile value (the highest expected limit) at 34 weeks is about 1100/L. Reference ranges are shown for eosinophil counts of neonates on the day of birth, according to gestational age. Reference ranges for blood concentrations of eosinophils and monocytes during the neonatal period defined from over 63,000 records in a multihospital health-care system. Although the eosinophil count has increased significantly from that measured on the day of birth, the value is within the expected range.

Treatment Expectant: small/dead calcified cyst Medical: Albendazol/mebendazol for 2- 4 weeks for multilocular disease or patients unfit for surgery. Mixed stone (90%): cholesterol is the major component with others like calcium bilirubinate. Pathogenesis: Three important factors implicated in pathogenesis of cholelithiasis are: 1. When bile salt is deficient or when the cholesterol level is in excess in relation to the bile salt, the bile formed is supersaturated or lithogenic 2. Infection: causes increased mucus plug formation and scarring which form a nidus for stone formation. Also many bacteria deconjugate billirubin which will combine with calcium to form insoluble calcium bilirubinate. Clinical Presentation Most (90%) patients with gall stone diseases are asymptomatic. Symptomatic patients present with: History: Right upper quadrant colicky pain (biliary colicky) Dyspepsia, fatty food intolerance, flatulence, abnormal post prandial bloating Symptoms of acute cholecystitis or other complications Physical examination: · · right upper quadrant tenderness Risk factors can be identified 190 Complications of Gall bladder stone 1.

Another rare form of acute cholecystitis which occurs in absence of stone is called acalculous cholecystitis. Pathogenesis Direct pressure of calculus on the mucosa results in ischemia, necrosis, and ulceration with swelling edema and impairment of venous return. This process increases and extends the extent of inflammation and favors bacterial multiplication.

To discuss the common types of abdominal wall hernias To enumerate the risk factors To describe the clinical features of different abdominal wall hernias To discuss the complications of abdominal wall hernias To describe the modalities of treatment To emphasize the importance of early diagnosis & intervention Introduction Abdominal wall hernias are common surgical problems encountered in all levels of health care facilities. Adequate knowledge to reach to the correct diagnosis and appropriate management plan help the care provider to prevent serious complications which could be fatal. General consideration Definitions ­ Hernia is a protrusion of a viscus through an opening in the wall of the cavity Important terminologies Hernial sac - is an out pouch of the peritoneum. It has four parts: mouth, neck, body and fundus Content- Is a viscus or any other organ inside a sac. Here strangulation of the bowel can occur with out intestinal obstruction Sliding hernia- when an extra peritoneal structure form part of the wall of the sac 198 Risk factors for abdominal wall Hernia development Increased intra abdominal pressure resulting from: Chronic cough Straining at urination or defecation Heavy wt lifting Abdominal distension Weakened abdominal wall Advanced age Malnutrition Congenital defect ­ ppv Trauma/surgery Clinical features History - Lump which varies in size - Pain, local aching, discomfort - Factors predisposing to increased intra abdominal pressure - Symptoms of int. Lump ­ reducible, cough impulse with bowel sound May be reduced when patient is lying and increases in size when patient is coughing or straining Relation of the lump with the common references ­ pubic tubercle, inguinal ligament Signs of obstruction ­ tense, tender, irreducible with absent cough impulse Signs of strangulation ­ more tenderness, with warm indurated, and inflamed overlying skin. Strangulation is a surgical emergency Risk of obstruction and strangulation is very high in femoral hernia, paraumblical hernia and indirect inguinal hernia with narrow neck 199 Principles of management Spontaneous resolution is unlikely the risks of irreducibility, obstruction and strangulation increase with time. So surgical intervention is needed in most cases Surgical treatment for abdominal wall hernias 1. Herniotomy - removal of the sac and closure of the neck: Done only in infants and children 2. Obstruction and strangulation this is one of the causes of intestinal obstruction (acute abdomen). Treatment options Non operative treatment: Gentle reduction (Taxis) can be indicated in obstructed hernia in infants but not advisable in adults due to the risk of mass reduction. The external ring lies just above the pubic crest and tubercle Contents of inguinal canal In male: Spermatic vessels, Vas deference, Ileo inguinal nerve, Genito femoral nerve In female: Round ligament Anatomy of femoral canal Is a narrow rigid space bounded by: Inguinal ligament, superiorly Pectineal part of inguinal ligament posterior Lacunar part of inguinal ligament medially, femoral vein laterally the narrow rigid space makes this types of hernia more prone to obstruction and strangulation. Inguinal hernia accounts for 80% of all external abdominal wall hernia commonest is all ages and sexes 20 x more common is males than women more common on right side Classification 1.

Intralipid is then discontinued and Omegaven is initiated at 1 g/kg/day by continuous infusion over 24 hours/day. Duration of Treatment Omegaven (Fresenius Kabi, Germany) is an intravenous fish oil-based lipid emulsion rich in omega-3 fatty acids. The presence of phytosterols and high omega-6 to omega-3 fatty acids in the conventional soy-based lipid emulsion (Intralipid) is thought to be an important factor. Following the initiation of Omegaven the level of conjugated bilirubin is usually noted to increase over the first week followed by a gradual decline resulting in complete resolution over a period of about 7 ± 2 weeks. The use of Omegaven has so far proven to be safe with no known shortterm side effects. Essential fatty acid deficiency and increased risk of bleeding, though theoretical concerns have not been described with the use of Omegaven. Omegaven (Omega-3 Fatty Acids rich Lipid Emulsion) Patients are considered to have resolved cholestasis when the conjugated bilirubin is < 2 mg/dL, which typically requires 610 weeks of therapy. Omegaven is continued until enteral nutrition is tolerated at 80 mL/kg/day, even if cholestasis resolves sooner. Under some circumstances, Omegaven may be continued for conjugated hyperbilirubinemia even after full enteral nutrition is attained if the infant otherwise has an ongoing need for intravenous access. Conjugated bilirubin and serum triglycerides are measured once a week thereafter until discontinuation of Omegaven. This consultation will help determine if the infant is a candidate for transplantation of the liver and/or intestine. Not all spitting is due to reflux and the differential diagnosis can include gastrointestinal anatomic abnormalities, metabolic disorders, or renal dysfunction. In addition, attempt non-pharmacologic approaches, such as positioning and, if appropriate, changes to the duration and rate of the feeding. Transpyloric feedings or fundoplication may need to be considered in the most severe cases to prevent long-term sequelae. Recognizing Underlying End-Stage Liver Disease Premature infants with hepatomegaly, splenomegaly, elevated liver panel indices, or evidence of liver functional impairments may have an underlying liver disease and should be considered for Liver Team consultation. In these infants, the Liver Team should be consulted as early as Guidelines for Acute Care of the Neonate, Edition 26, 2018­19 161 Section 11-Gastroenterology Section of Neonatology, Department of Pediatrics, Baylor College of Medicine Section Ranitidine (Zantac) a H2 receptor antagonist (oral and intravenous forms available). Fish oil-based lipid emulsions in the treatment of parenteral nutrition-associated liver disease: An ongoing positive experience. Erythromycin for the prevention and treatment of feeding intolerance in preterm infants. Guidelines for evaluation and treatment of gastroesophageal reflux in infants and children: Recommendations of the North American Society for Pediatric Gastroenterology and Nutrition. Metoclopramide (Reglan) - a prokinetic agent that has been used, although data do not support efficacy in infants. The use of this agent in our population is strongly discouraged under all circumstances. Erythromycin Erythromycin has been used as a prokinetic agent to treat feeding intolerance and reflux in infants. There is insufficient evidence to recommend the use of Erythromycin to treat feeding intolerance in preterm infants as shown in a metaanalysis of 10 randomized controlled studies evaluating the efficacy of erythromycin in the prevention and treatment of feeding intolerance in preterm infants. Erythromycin Dosing for Infants - Erythromycin ethylsuccinate orally 5 to 10 mg/kg/dose every 6 hours; start at lower dose and assess for efficacy. Caution should be used with prolonged use due to the possibility of developing pyloric stenosis. Parenteral nutrient goals Initiation Nutrient Needs* Energy Protein Fat Glucose Calcium kcal/kg g/kg g/kg mg/kg minute mmol/kg 42 - 57 2-3 0. Differentiation is made between high-risk, extremely or very low birth weight infants, and healthy preterm infants as needed. Providing amino acids and lipids as soon as possible will reverse a negative nitrogen balance and improve glucose homeostasis. Infuse parenteral nutrition at an appropriate volume based on body weight and clinical condition. Parenteral nutrition should be ordered to include phosphorus within the first 24 hours of life.

If fluoroscopy is available, along with adequately trained clinicians, neurolysis of the celiac plexus may be used to reduce the amount of opioids and augment pain control in hepatic and pancreatic cancer. Why it is so difficult for the patient with visceral pain to identify exactly the spot that hurts? Visceral afferent fibers (pain-conducting C fibers) converge on the spinal level at the dorsal horn. Therefore, discrimination of pain and exact localization of the source of pain is impossible for the patient. A patient with pancreatic cancer would never tell the doctor that his pancreas hurts, but instead will report "pain in the upper part of the belly" radiating around to his back in a bandlike fashion. The nociceptive pain conducting afferent nerve fibers of some of the visceral organs meet sympathetic efferent fibers before reaching the spinal cord in knots called nerve plexuses. From here, the pain-conducting fibers continue via the preganglionic splanchnic nerves to the spinal cord (T5­T12). This situation allows an interesting therapeutic option: interruption of the nociceptive pathway with a neurolytic block at the site of the celiac plexus. This is one of the few remaining "neurodestructive" therapeutic options still considered useful today. Nerve destruction at other locations has been shown to cause more disadvantages than benefits to the patient, such as anesthesia dolorosa (pain in the location of nerve deafferentation). Why are some people reluctant to use morphine or other opioids in patients with gastrointestinal cancer? From early studies, we know that one of the undesired effects of morphine is the induction of spasticity at the sphincter of Oddi and bile duct. This opioid side effect is mediated through the cholinergic action of opioids as well as through direct interaction of the opioids with mu-opioid receptors. Recent studies have not confirmed these findings, and so morphine can be used without reservations. Generally, pain of the intra-abdominal organs originates from the stimulation of terminal nerve endings, and is referred to as visceral-somatic pain, as opposed to pain from nerve lesions, which is called neuropathic pain. The pain characteristic most often reported by the patient is that it is not well localized. Patients typically describe the pain as generally "dull" or "pressing," but sometimes "colicky. For colon and pelvic organ cancers, the target is the myenteric plexus, and for bladder and rectosigmoid cancers, the hypogastric plexus is the target. However, these techniques should only be used by experienced therapists-book knowledge is definitely insufficient. The indication for a neurolytic block in pancreatic cancer is well recognized because of the rapid progression of the disease and its insufficient sensitivity to radiotherapy and chemotherapy. From the literature, we know that up to 85% of patients do benefit from a neurolytic block. Although serious side effects from neurolysis of the celiac plexus are rare, the facts have to be explained to the patient, and an informed consent form should be signed. It is estimated that worldwide 1 in 8 individuals suffer, at least from time to time, from constipation. Regional differences in prevalence have been described in North and Latin America as well as in the Pacific region, where the prevalence is approximately double compared to the rest of the world. In advanced stages of abdominal cancer, especially in palliative treatment situations, incidences are higher than 60%. In gastrointestinal cancer, pain is frequent, but what other symptoms cause the patient suffering? Actually, the complaint with the highest prevalence is fatigue, followed by anorexia. Unfortunately, constipation may often be considered unimportant by the therapist, and therefore overlooked or ignored. In fact, constipation may be a frequent cause of anorexia, nausea, and abdominal pain. Therefore, constipation must be checked for on a regular basis, and attempts should be made to relieve or at least reduce it.

Stice slammed the kitchen door and went off daily to sell crop insurance while Mrs. Struck keeps both elbows on the table at all times and utensils in his clenched fists like a parody of a man eating. Axford, who lost to Tall Paul Shaw in straight sets and if he loses to him again tomorrow goes down to #5-A, stares stonily into space, his motions less like somebody eating than like somebody miming eating. My big sister ran away from home, and the rest of us were traumatized around it, this switch to powdered, which is unmistakable if you know what to look for. With supper they can choose milk or else cranberry juice, that most carbcaloric of juices, which froths redly in its own clear dispenser by the salad bar. The milk dispenser stands alone against the west wall, a big huge 24-liter three-bagger, the milk inserted in ovaloid mammarial bags into its refrigerated cabinet of brushed steel, with three receptacles for tumblers and three levers for controlled dispensing. The best thing about satiation and slowing down on the eating is leaning back and feeling autolysis start in on what you ate and tending to your teeth while you gaze around the airy room at crowds and clumps of kids, observing behaviors and pathologies with a clear and sated head. The littler kids running in tight circles trying to follow the shadow of the ceiling fan. Troeltsch has run his thick finger around the inside of the tumbler and is holding the digit out at different guys around the table. Last week a grounds-crew lawnmower sitting clean and silent and somehow menacing in the middle of the dawn kitchen gave Mrs. Clarke the fantods and resulted in Eggplant Parmesan for two suppers in a row, which sent shock waves. Unmentioned is the fact that Schacht and Tall Paul Shaw at lunch went over the whole part of the north wall the black girls said they found the squeegees on and could find neither nails nor holes from nails, as in no visible means of attachment. A terrible kind of community energy in the whole dining hall, a kind of anxious sound-carpet under the surf of voices and the tinkle of flatware, and the Darkness is at some vague center of this energy, somehow, you can feel. Forehead purply crumpled, Slice stares hard at his salad and tries to block input from his phenomenal peripheral vision. Millicent Kent returning for what Struck counts as Fourths, and Stice blocks the sight out. The afternoon just past was a glory, scrubbed and cool and windless, cloud-free, the sun a disk, the sky a dome, soaked in light, even the northern horizons bellclear against a faint green-yellow cast. The girls are having to hold hands against the grade, walking sideways and digging heavily in at each step. A girl with bangs rises and tings her tumbler with a spoon to make an announcement; nobody pays any attention. This was after the girl Orin had been wildly in love with and Himself had compulsively used in films had been disfigured.

Stice is one of those athletes whose body you know is an unearned divine gift because its conjunction with his face is so incongruous. He resembles a poorly spliced photo, some superhuman cardboard persona with a hole for your human face. The facial scrunching that attends concentration adds crevices and seams and an uneven flush to the bulldog face. His cheeks are ballooned with food as he stares at the perched cherry tomato, trying to respect this object with all his might. Freer is wearing the leather vest with no shirt under, which is what he favors after weights have pumped his torso full of air.

In the right hypochondriac region there exists a greater variety of organs than in the left; and disease is also more frequent on the right side. Affections of the liver will consequently implicate a greater number of organs than affections of the spleen on the left side, for the spleen is comparatively isolated from the more important blood vessels and other organs. The external surface of the liver, P, lies in contact with the diaphragm, N, the costal cartilages, M, and the upper and lateral parts of the abdominal parietes; and when the liver becomes the seat of abscess, this, according to its situation, will point and burst either into the thorax above, or through the side between or beneath the false ribs, M. The hepatic abscess has been known to discharge itself through the stomach, the duodenum, T, and the transverse colon, facts which are readily explained on seeing the close relationship which these parts hold to the under surface of the liver. When the liver is inflamed, we account for the gastric irritation, either from the inflammation having extended to the neighbouring stomach, or by this latter organ being affected by "reflex action. When large biliary concretions form in S, the gallbladder, or in the hepatic duct, Nature, failing in her efforts to discharge them through the common bile-duct, into the duodenum, T, sets up inflammation and ulcerative absorption, by aid of which processes they make a passage for themselves through some adjacent part of the intestine, either the duodenum or the transverse colon. In these processes the gall-bladder, which contains the calculus, becomes soldered by effused lymph to the neighbouring part of the intestinal tube, into which the stone is to be discharged, and thus its escape into the peritoneal sac is prevented. When the hepatic abscess points externally towards M, the like process isolates the matter from the cavities of the chest and abdomen. In wounds of any part of the intestine, whether of X, the caecum, W, the sigmoid flexure of the colon, or Z, the small bowel, if sufficient time be allowed for Nature to establish the adhesive inflammation, she does so, and thus fortifies the peritoneal sac against an escape of the intestinal matter into it by soldering the orifice of the wounded intestine to the external opening. The stomach has been removed, to show the looping anastomosis of these vessels around the superior and inferior borders of the stomach. The inferior vena cava about to enter its notch in the posterior thick part of the liver, to receive the hepatic veins. The gall-bladder, communicating by its duct with the hepatic duct, which is lying upon the vena portae, and by the side of the hepatic artery. The mesentery supporting the numerous looping branches of the superior mesenteric artery. The arterial system of vessels assumes, in all cases, somewhat of the character of the forms upon which they are distributed, or of the organs which they supply. This mode of distribution becomes the more apparent, according as we rise from particulars to take a view of the whole. With the same ease that any piece of the osseous fabric, taken separately, may be known, so may any one artery, taken apart from the rest, be distinguished as to the place which it occupied, and the organs which it supplied in the economy. The vascular skeleton, whether taken as a whole or in parts, exhibits characteristics as apparent as are those of the osseous skeleton itself. The main bloodvessel, A B C, of the trunk of the body, possesses character, sui generis, just as the vertebral column itself manifests. The main arteries of the head or limbs are as readily distinguishable, the one from the other, as are the osseous fabrics of the head and limbs. But evidently the arterial system of vessels conforms most strictly with the general design of the osseous skeleton. In Plate 25, viewed as a whole, we find that as the vertebral column stands central to the osseous skeleton, so does the aorta, A B C, take the centre of the arterial skeleton. As the ribs jut symmetrically from either side of the vertebral column, so do the intercostal arteries follow them from their own points of origin in the aorta. The one side of the osseous system is not more like the other than is the system of vessels on one side like that of the other. And in addition to this fact of a similarity of sides in the vascular as in the osseous skeleton, I also remark that both extremities of the aorta divide into branches which are similar to one another above and below, thereby conforming exactly with the upper and lower limbs, which manifest unmistakable points of analogy. The branches which spring from the aortic arch above are destined to supply the head and upper limbs. They are, H, the innominate artery, and I K, the left common carotid and subclavian arteries. The branches which spring from the other extremity of the aorta are disposed for the support of the pelvis and lower limbs; they are the right and left common iliac arteries, L M. These vessels exhibit, at both ends of the main aortic trunk, a remarkable analogy; and as the knowledge of this fact may serve to lighten the dry and weary detail of descriptive anatomy, at the same time that it points directly to views of practical import, I may be allowed briefly to remark upon it as follows:-The vessels which spring from both ends of the aorta, as seen in Plate 25, are represented in what is called their normal character-that is, while three vessels, H I K, spring separately from the aortic arch above, only two vessels, L and M, arise from the aorta below. Let the anatomist now recall to mind the "peculiarities" which at times appear amongst the vessels, H I K, above, and he will find that some of them absolutely correspond to the normal arrangement of the vessels, L M, below. And if he will consider the "peculiarities" which occur to the normal order of the vessels, L M, below, he will find that some of these correspond exactly to the normal order of the vessels above.
