Study Notes
Performance on Game Day
- Performance in practice should equal performance on game day.
- Focusing on the present moment, avoiding distractions from anxiety, fear, or regret, improves focus.
- Fear, more specifically fear of perceived threat to ego and self-esteem (fear of embarrassment, or exposure as a fraud), underlies test anxiety.
Variations and Adaptability
- The "Sly Man" method of optimizing mental performance:
- Engage in activities (listening to music, dancing) solely for the experience without trying to derive meaning or analyze them.
- Focus on the present moment, minimizing daydreaming and absent-mindedness.
- Study for the purpose of studying, avoiding "getting through the material" mentality.
- Treat studying like reading a novel, for pleasure.
- Sleep is for pussies. Optimize sleep, and if possible, steal an hour during the day for focused study sessions.
- Never procrastinate studying.
- Premeditate potential problems/interruptions, to avoid procrastination
Resources for Studying
- Essentials: Crack the Core Vol 1, Crack the Core Vol 2, Physics War Machine, Crack the Core Case Companion, and Combat Ready - Q&A book.
- Strongly recommended: TitanRadiology.com and RadiologyRonin.com courses.
- Supplemental: Google images.
- Recommended Q bank: Author's TitanRadiology Q bank; multiple commercial Q banks also suggested.
Scalp Trauma
-
Three scalp hematoma subtypes: caput succedaneum, cephalohematoma, and subgaleal hemorrhage.
-
Caput succedaneum:
- Location: subcutaneous (superficial to the aponeurosis)
- Suture lines: not limited by suture lines.
- Trivia: covers a wider area than cephalohematoma; potentially life threatening (rapid blood loss); resolves within a few weeks, and often not seen until hours or days after delivery.
-
Cephalohematoma:
- Location: under the periosteum (skin of the bone).
- Suture lines: limited by suture lines (won't cross sutures). Outer border may calcify.
- Trivia: resolves within a few days; requires no intervention.
-
Subgaleal Hemorrhage:
- Location: deep to the aponeurosis (between the aponeurosis and periosteum).
- Suture lines: not limited by suture lines.
- Trivia: potentially life-threatening (rapid blood loss); can get super infected (E.Coli); can cause skull osteomyelitis; resolves within a few weeks.
-
Look High, Look Low for specific injury subtypes:
- Look High: thrombosed cortical vein at the vertex.
- Look Low: retroclival hematoma (thin hyperdense sliver in the pre-pontine region).
- Look Lower: edema within cervical soft tissues
Brain - Select Topics
- Brain tumors, cord tumors, and other pediatric neurological pathologies are discussed in Volume 2.
- Congenital heart, GU, GYN, and MSK topics are in other chapters.
- Enlarged extra-axial fluid spaces: these are considered enlarged if >5mm.
- BESSI (benign enlargement of the subarachnoid space in infancy) - Cortical veins adjacent to the inner table. It’s the most common cause of macrocephaly. Typically presents around month 2 or 3. Has a strong male predominance. Typically resolves after 2 years. Increased risk of subdural bleed (spontaneous or trauma).
- Subdural hygroma: usually displaced, or asymmetric in size, cortical veins, often not seen. Also related to extra-axial fluid.
