My owl might not have gone to a fancy owl academy in a big ancient oak. But he’s got, you know, he’s got forest wisdom. He’s out there hitting the underbrush killing voles every damn day

If someone has weird neurological symptoms after chiropractic manipulation and it doesn’t seem like an arterial dissection, remember: it could be a CSF leak

Central retinal artery occlusion: local intra-arterial fibrinolysis versus conservative treatment, a multicenter randomized trial - PubMed The author(s) have no proprietary or commercial interest in any materials discussed in this article.

it’s a very stubborn problem. you’d think shooting lytics directly at the blocked artery via invasive catheter would work but that trial was also negative pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/20609991/

These days most aneurysms are treated using minimally invasive, endovascular techniques (platinum coils that thrombose, flow diverting stents, occlusive devices). Ofc these procedures carry their own risks including rupture, and some lesions still require open surgery based on geometry
