One in two adults in the U.S. now has high blood pressure or is at risk of developing it.” That single line, pulled from the American Heart Association (AHA), should make us pause. Half of the adult population. And yet, despite decades of treatment advances, nearly half of those with hypertension still don’t have it under control.

Sebaceous Cyst
🔹 A sebaceous cyst is a slow-growing, non-cancerous lump beneath the skin, usually filled with a soft, cheese-like material made up of sebum (oil), dead skin cells, and keratin.
🔹 Commonly found on the scalp, face, neck, back, or torso, it occurs when a sebaceous gland or hair follicle becomes blocked.

📌 Causes of Sebaceous Cyst
🔹 Blocked sebaceous (oil) glands
🔹 Trauma or injury to the skin
🔹 Swollen hair follicles
🔹 Genetic conditions (like Gardner's syndrome or steatocystoma multiplex)

📌 Characteristics
🔹 Round, smooth, and movable under the skin
🔹 Usually painless unless infected
🔹 Skin over it may appear normal or slightly red
🔹 Ranges in size from a few millimeters to several centimeters
🔹 May have a small blackhead-like opening (pore) on top

📌 Symptoms of Infected Sebaceous Cyst
🔹 Pain, redness, and swelling
🔹 Warmth over the lump
🔹 Pus or foul-smelling drainage
🔹 Tenderness or pressure pain
🔹 Fever (in severe cases)

📌 Treatment Options
🔹 Observation – if it's small, painless, and not growing
🔹 Incision and drainage – for quick relief (but cyst may return)
🔹 Complete surgical removal – to prevent recurrence
🔹 Antibiotics – if infection is present
🔹 Laser excision – for cosmetic or sensitive areas

📌 Benefits of Early Removal
🔹 Prevents infection and abscess formation
🔹 Reduces scarring and discomfort
🔹 Eliminates cosmetic concerns
🔹 Avoids rupture and skin irritation

📌 Precautions & Aftercare
🔹 Do not squeeze or pop the cyst – may worsen infection
🔹 Keep the area clean and dry
🔹 Follow post-surgical wound care instructions
🔹 Monitor for signs of recurrence
🔹 Seek medical help if cyst grows rapidly or becomes painful

That seemingly random ache? The persistent fatigue you just can't shake? Our bodies are constantly communicating, sending out subtle signals about our internal state. Yet, in our fast-paced lives, we often dismiss these whispers, attributing them to stress or simply "getting older." What if I told you that overlooking these seemingly minor symptoms could be a critical misstep, potentially masking significant health issues? We're not talking about overt disease here, but the silent, often overlooked cues that, once understood, offer profound insights into your well-being.

Oxygen flow meters are a relatively simple device that consists of a tube through which gas passes. As the gas moves through the tube, it lifts the indicator until the pressure of the gas is equal to the pressure above the indicator. A numbered scale allows the caregiver to determine the flow rate of oxygen.

A triple lumen catheter is a type of central venous catheter (CVC) with three separate lumens or channels. These lumens allow for multiple infusions, blood draws, or pressure monitoring to be performed simultaneously, making it a versatile tool in critical care and other situations where multiple intravenous lines are needed.

Craniotome
🔹 A craniotome is a specialized surgical instrument used to cut and remove a portion of the skull (bone flap) during a craniotomy — a procedure performed to access the brain.
🔹 It allows precise, smooth, and safe bone cutting while protecting the underlying brain tissue.

📌 Uses of a Craniotome
🔹 Craniotomy for brain surgery – tumors, hemorrhage, trauma, aneurysms
🔹 Evacuation of blood clots – such as subdural or epidural hematomas
🔹 Decompression – to relieve pressure in traumatic brain injury
🔹 Brain biopsy or monitoring device insertion
🔹 Treatment of hydrocephalus or infection

📌 Components of a Craniotome System
🔹 Motorized drill – handheld unit powered electrically or pneumatically
🔹 Cutting blade attachment – performs the bone cutting
🔹 Dural guard/footplate – protects the dura mater and brain underneath
🔹 Craniotome console – controls speed and power (in advanced systems)
🔹 Craniotome burr hole bit – used to create initial entry points in the skull

📌 How It Works
1.Burr holes are drilled at the edges of the area to be removed
2 The craniotome blade is inserted between the holes and advanced along a planned path
3.The footplate (guard) slides between the skull and dura to prevent injury
4.A bone flap is cut and lifted, exposing the brain

After surgery, the bone flap is replaced and fixed with plates or wires

📌 Benefits
🔹 Fast and precise bone cutting
🔹 Reduces risk of injury to brain and dura
🔹 Minimizes bone dust and trauma
🔹 Enhances surgeon control and visibility
🔹 Speeds up critical brain access in emergencies

📌 Precautions
🔹 Must be used by trained neurosurgeons
🔹 Requires sterile technique to prevent infection
🔹 Dural tears or bleeding can occur if not handled properly
🔹 Regular equipment maintenance is essential for safety and accuracy
