π¦ May 15 - June 15 is #TouretteAwarenessMonth
π― A time to educate and support those affected by Tourette Syndrome (TS) - a neurodevelopmental condition that impacts people of all ages.
Understanding Tourette Syndrome
π― TS is characterized by tics - involuntary movements or sounds that can range from mild to severe:
Motor tics: Sudden movements (eye blinking, head jerking)
Vocal tics: Unintentional sounds or words (throat clearing, phrases)
π― What We Know About Causes, while the exact cause remains unknown:
Strong genetic component (often runs in families)
Environmental factors may influence development
π― Show Your Support
The teal awareness shirt symbolizes solidarity with the TS community.
π Understanding leads to acceptance. Share to spread awareness!

What force mechanism leads to the fracture in the image?
Anonymous Quiz
23%
Flexion compression
13%
Pure axial load
33%
Flexion distraction
7%
Shear
23%
Extension distraction
Answer:
β C: Flexion distraction
This image demonstrates a three column pure
bony injury, often referred to as a Chance fracture
after the physician G.Q. Chance in 1948. It is caused
by a flexion distraction force mechanism where
the axis of rotation is anterior to the vertebral body.
βοΈ Chance Fracture (flexion-distraction injury)
Flexion-distraction injuries result from pulling forces that lead to damage in the posterior and middle portions of the spine. These injuries often feature fractures through the posterior bones, and it's common for the posterior ligamentous complex to also be affected. Chance fractures are a well-known example caused by flexion-distraction forces. Such an injury can happen when the upper body's weight shifts forward while the torso remains anchored, creating tension across the spine. In these cases, the vertebral body is usually affected by flexion forces, whereas the posterior spinal structures are damaged by distraction forces.
π―Treatment:
Chance fractures can be treated conservatively or surgically. In patients with purely bony injuries and no neurological deficits, non-surgical management with a cast or TLSO is usually effective, allowing natural healing. Neurological symptoms or ligamentous damage, however, are indications for surgeryβmost commonly long-segment posterior fixation with pedicle screws, with or without interbody fusion. Spinal decompression may be needed in some cases.
Fracture reduction is typically done on a Risser table via hyperextension, followed by a custom plaster or fiberglass orthosis worn for 8β12 weeks. Compliance can be challenging due to discomfort, but union rates are high. Rehabilitation is crucial for regaining strength and mobility.
Obese or large patients may not tolerate conservative treatment and are better suited for surgery. Minimally invasive pedicle screw techniques have reduced the risks associated with open procedures.

π§ June 8 is World Brain Tumor Day π
π― A day to raise global awareness about brain and central nervous system (CNS) tumorsβa rare but life-altering group of over 130 tumor types affecting both the brain and spine.
π― CNS tumors may be benign or cancerous, but both can disrupt vital brain functions. Some originate in the brain, while others spread from cancers elsewhere in the body.
π Early diagnosis and timely treatmentβoften including surgery, radiotherapy, or chemotherapyβcan significantly improve outcomes and preserve quality of life.
π Common symptoms may include:
βͺοΈ Seizures
βͺοΈ Vision or hearing changes
βͺοΈ Memory loss or behavior changes
𧩠The impact of brain tumors extends far beyond the individual.

π June is Myasthenia Gravis Awareness Month πͺπ§
π― Myasthenia Gravis (MG)βfrom Greek and Latin meaning βgrave muscular weaknessββis a chronic autoimmune neuromuscular disorder that causes fluctuating muscle weakness, especially after activity.
π― MG affects around 20 in every 100,000 people globally, though the true number may be higher due to undiagnosed mild cases.
π― This condition commonly impacts muscles that control:
π Eye movement and blinking
π Facial expressions
π£ Chewing, swallowing, and speech
πͺ Arm and leg movement
Symptoms often worsen with activity and improve with rest. While there is no cure, treatments can significantly improve quality of life and daily function.
π The teal ribbon represents MG awareness and support.

π― Migraine is a complex neurological disorderβnot just a headache. It affects over 1 billion people worldwide and is the leading cause of years lived with disability in those under 50.
π§ Migraine often causes intense throbbing pain, typically on one side of the head, and is frequently accompanied by nausea, vomiting, and extreme sensitivity to light and sound. Attacks can last hours to days, often disrupting daily life.
π― Despite its impact:
πΉ Up to 50% of cases remain undiagnosed or undertreated
πΉ Fewer than half of people with migraine seek medical help
π§ͺ Letβs raise awareness and reduce the stigma.

π June is MdDS Awareness Month π§
π― Mal de DΓ©barquement Syndrome (MdDS) is a rare and often misunderstood neurological condition that causes persistent sensations of rocking, swaying, or bobbingβtypically after passive motion events like cruises, flights, or car travel.
π§ Unlike motion sickness, MdDS symptoms improve with movement and worsen at restβan unusual feature that can help in diagnosis.
π While anyone can develop MdDS, about 85% of cases occur in women aged 30β60, and it's more common among those with a history of migraines.
π Though the exact cause is unclear and thereβs no definitive cure, symptoms may resolve on their own or be managed with tailored treatments. Each patientβs journey is unique.
π― Use #MdDSAwareness to support.

π£ June is Aphasia Awareness Month π§
π― Aphasia is a communication disorder that affects speaking, understanding, reading, and writingβmost often caused by a stroke or brain injury.
πΉ Nearly 40% of stroke survivors experience aphasia shortly after the event.
πΉ In rare cases, it develops gradually as Primary Progressive Aphasia (PPA).
π― Aphasia can range from mild word-finding difficulties to profound challenges that make communication nearly impossible. It may affect the ability to name objects, form sentences, or readβoften impairing multiple areas of communication at once.
π¬ Aphasia can profoundly impact independence, employment, and relationships, yet public awareness remains low.
Help us change that.
