radiologysigns:

Shepherd’s crook deformity - refers to a distinctive abnormal contour of the proximal femur in the setting of fibrous dysplasia. As the bone deforms the angle made between the neck of the femur and the femoral shaft decreases (coxa vara) and the bone becomes rounded simulating the appearance of a shepherd’s crook, a stick with a C-shaped end carried by shepherd’s particularly common in biblical times.

If you’re 27 or younger, you’ve never experienced a colder-than-average month

With the average temperature on Earth in October becoming the 332nd consecutive month at a higher-than-normal mark, we’re defining the new normal for a whole generation.

And that’s not a “new normal” that we should be okay with. Because a warming Earth with frequent droughts and supercharged storms could make Hurricane Sandy look like an afternoon sprinkle.

Mathematical Pick-Up Lines

I wish I was your derivative so I could lie tangent to your curves.

How can I know so many hundreds of digits of pi and not the 7 digits of your phone number?

I wish I was your second derivative so I could investigate your concavities.

You and I would add up better than a Riemann sum.

I need a little help with my Calculus, can you integrate my natural log?

I am equivalent to the Empty Set when you are not with me.

I don’t like my current girlfriend. Mind if I do a you-substitution?

I can figure out the square root of any number in less than 10 seconds. What? You don’t believe me? Well, then, let’s try it with your phone number.

Hey…nice asymptote.

I don’t know if you’re in my range, but I’d sure like to take you back to my domain.

If i were a function you would be my asymptote - i always tend towards you.

I wish i was your problem set, because then i’d be really hard, and you’d be doing me on the desk.

My love is like an exponential curve. it’s unbounded.

You’ve got more curves than a triple integral.

Honey, you’re sweeter than pi.

radiologysigns:

Insular ribbon sign - refers to loss of the normal insular cortex grey-white differentiation and is one of the earliest imaging sign of middle cerebral artery territory infarction. The insular cortex is located along the Sylvian fissure overlying the external capsule where a ‘ribbon’ of normal cortex should be appreciable (red arrows). In the setting of MCA infarction, cytotoxic oedema leads to hypoattenuation such that the normal insular ribbon is no longer visible (blue arrows).

The left image shows a very early infarct (within the first few hours) while the right image shows a more established infarct (greater than 4 hours old).

The Oldest Known Recording, Restored in the Digital Age

Hearing the voices of dead people might make you feel a little odd, but give this a listen.

In 1878, writer Thomas Mason sat down in front of one of Thomas Edison’s just-invented phonograph recorders, and captured himself playing cornet, laughing, and even the first recorded screw-up (trying to read a line from “Old Mother Hubbard”.

According to writings, Edison had recorded himself the year before, just after he invented the device, reading “Mary Had A Little Lamb”. This recording has since disappeared, making Mason’s the oldest known playable copy.

Except it wasn’t really “playable”. The metallic drum had deteriorated so badly that it couldn’t be played mechanically, so Lawrence Berkeley scientists had to develop a way to digitally scan the grooves and convert them into real sound.

Check out Rebecca J. Rosen’s article at The Atlantic to find out more about the history of this recording and to hear more samples, and check out the research project’s site to find out how they did it. So. Cool.

It’s nice to know that, for as long as people have been laying sound to records, they’ve been messing up. No one’s perfect, even the pioneers of sound! At least we can laugh with them, right along with the recording.
