Yesterday, I got lecture on bandage and splint.
Bandage is used on injury without fracture. Splint is for fracture. Both procedures are first aids.
Bandage shouldn't be too tight but not too loose, either. A pen can be inserted in well-fitted bandage.
Splint should pass both proximal and distal joints. However, if the fracture is on femur, the outer splint extends from malleolus lateralis (outer ankle) to axilla (armpit) and the inner splint extends from malleolus medialis (inner ankle) to inguinal.
Note: due to poor internet connection, I can't put picture in this post.

Friday Lecture Note: Macrosomia
The first subject I study this semester is pediatrics. In schedule, I have to study it for 3 weeks which are technically 2 weeks of lecture and a week of other things.
I once said that I would share what I learn so here we go.
In group discussion, we talked about neonate. What is neonate? Neonate or newborn is a baby who is 4 weeks old or younger. Normal newborn weighs 2500 to 4000 grams. However, if the mother has diabetes, her child can be heavier. The condition of newborn with excessive birth weight is called macrosomia. How can it happen? If a mother's blood glucose level is high, then the fetus blood glucose level will be high, too. Fetus' pancreas produce more insulin to respond to high glucose level. Insulin in fetus also function as growth hormone. Thus, fetus becomes bigger for his age. Macrosomia can be prevented if a mother control her blood glucose level.

Friday Lecture Note
Today's assignment in Blogging 101 is to create a posting feature. I decide to create "Friday Lecture Note" and I will start next Friday since I'm still on a holiday.
In Friday Lecture Note, I will share what I learn from Monday to Friday in medical school. I may share lecture note, discussion note, or practicum note. If you have question or think that I share wrong information, feel free to ask or tell me because I don't want people to be confused or get wrong medical information.
