Blood supply of the spinal cord

"ثلث بثنين، ثلثين بواحد"

ثلثين الـ spinal cord يغذيهن شريان واحد هو الـ anterior spinal
ثلث الـ spinal cord تغذيه شرايين ثنين هنّ الـ posterior spinal

الثلثين هاي هنّ الـ anterior المسؤولات عن الـ motor function وبما أنّ شريان واحد هو اللي يوصل الدم لهذا الجزء من الحبل الشوكي، معناها أنّه معرّض للـ ischemia أكثر من الثلث الـ posterior

Myasthenia gravis has a bimodal age-related onset, with onset in the second or third decades more common in women and onset in the sixth or seventh decades more common in men.

With a complete rotator cuff tear, after the pain subsides, the clinical picture becomes unmistakable: active abduction is impossible and attempting it produces a characteristic shrug; but passive abduction is full and once the arm has been lifted above a right angle the patient can keep it up by using the deltoid (the ‘abduction paradox’); when they lower it sideways it suddenly drops (the ‘drop arm sign’).
