I want to take back ‘Retard’. Because I want it to apply to things that are infuriatingly stupid, instead of it being used as a derogatory term towards special needs people.
Much further back… Abraham Lincoln was a Republican. The party was founded on anti- slavery. The current party has nothing to do with the original party.
Incidental finding of a superior lumbar hernia (Grynfeltt-Lesshaft hernia). In this case, only a lobule of retroperitoneal fat is herniating through the defect, but organs can also herniate through.
Continuing the theme of things extending into spaces they don’t belong in, this is an incidental finding of an inguinal hernia that contains a small portion of the bladder. The patient got the CT for other reasons....
[LEFT]: This patient had one of the longer cerebellar tonsillar herniations I’ve seen. The tonsil is peg-like in shape and extends quite far below the foramen magnum to the level of the C2 posterior arch. As a result, there is crowding at the foramen magnum that is enough to impede CSF flow, resulting in hydrocephalus with...
[LEFT]: The midbrain has a deep interpeduncular cistern, and the superior cerebellar peduncles are very prominent and elongated, making the brainstem at this level look like a molar tooth. This is a classic finding in Joubert syndrome....
Hi. Try to match the outline of the humerus to that on the radiograph. Then the big bright mass to the right of the humerus (going by the picture) is the cancer. Now see if you can make out the rough outline of it on the radiograph.
The cloudiness you’re seeing is calcification within the tumor. Specifically, the outward “tendrils” (as someone else called it) exploding out from the margin of the humerus is really aggressive periosteal reaction, which I’ve posted a few examples before already: one, two.
The tumor here is growing from the bone and destroying it. The normal bone cells are trying to repair by making more bone. If faster the tumor destroys and grows, the less smooth the repaired bone can look.
Postcontrast imaging of 2 patients with glioblastoma. These tumors are notorious for spreading along the white matter tracts - in this case the transverse fibers of the corpus callosum, given them a classic “butterfly” appearance.
I think while the general communities have made it, a lot of niche communities failed to attract enough population to keep on generating more content. As an example, just search for the “Imaginary” series of landscape art communities on the Fediverse (eg. ImaginaryVistas). Many of them don’t have any recent posts or 1 post per days or weeks. That’s not enough to keep people invested. Even the largest digital art community is still mostly carried by 1 person.
The Lord said that the “VCR shall be saved” with the knife technique, but in the following paragraph, it was not the VCR that was saved, but the man that was saved. The VCR was not saved!

Should the instances that responded to you be refederrated? I’m pretty sure I saw some of them on lemmy.world’s block list. I think it would be sad for these small servers to not realize they are, in fact, not connected to the greater fediverse. On the other hand, if you’re an admin, and you don’t know what you’re doing to the point of not knowing your server was infected by hundreds of thousands of bots, maybe it’s too dangerous to refed.
It’s usually barium sulfate, which can have a more viscous consistency that makes it go down a little slower and allows it to stick to things to outline them. But yes, regular iodine contrast can also be used.
