Post splenectomy there is higher risk of which encapsulated organisms?
decreased IgM-decreased complement activation-decreased opsonization=increased susceptibility to encapsulated organisms
SHiNE SKiS Streptococcus pneumoniaie Haemophilus influenza type B Neisseria meningitidis E. Coli Salmonella spp Kleibsella pneumoniaie Group b Streptococcus
Para aortic Lymph Node
testes, ovaries, kidneys, uterus are area of body drained
Para TOKUt
Superior Mesenteric Lymph Node
Lower duodenum, jejunum, ileum, colon to splenic flexure
Superior DJ Ill messed up some colons and commas
Inferior Mesenteric Lymph Node
Colon from splenic flexure to upper rectum
Internal Iliac Lymph Node
Lower rectum to anal canal (above pectinate line), bladder, vagina (middle third), prostate
The Internist’s Silly dilemna: To read the LR annals (lower rectum to anal canal) which are above and beyond boring (above the pectinate line), or read the Blogs (Bladder) or watch the Vast Videos (Vagina) or listen to news from the Press (prostate)?
Superficial inguinal
Anal canal (below pectinate line), skin below umbilicus (except popliteal territory and glans of the penis), scrotum
The Superficial inguinal (superficial ingeniero) looked to cool off his inguinal skin regions before working on his projects, so he put: A C down below on his Skin below umbilicus & Scrotum
