In the previous few videos, we have talked about Hodgkin's lymphoma, how to diagnose it, how to treat it. Today, we'll talk about a mnemonic, how to memorize Hodgkin's lymphoma. So let's get into it.
[Music]
Actually, I have two mnemonics for you. So let's start with the first one. Hodgkin's disease has a bimodal age distribution, and you have the cells that are CD 15 positive and CD 30 positive. So what's the mnemonic? 15 times 2 equals 30; is the bimodal distribution. 15 and 30 are the cluster of differentiation. The Reed-Sternberg cell is CD 15 positive and CD 30 positive. The Reed-Sternberg cell has the characteristic owl eye appearance, and the owl has two eyes. So you have x - 4 bimodal distribution and 4 two eyes.
The second mnemonic: Just try the word Hodgkin's.
H for HIV. What other virus? Correct, Epstein-Barr virus.
O for the owl eye of the Reed-Sternberg.
D for mediastinum or mediastinal lymphadenopathy.
G for contagious spread.
K for kidney, especially in a nephrotic syndrome such as minimal change disease.
I for nodal enlargement, which is localized and painless.
N for secondary amyloidosis that has the AA protein.
Here you have it, Hodgkin's. Thank you so much for watching. This is Medicals; it's perfect nails. Don't forget to subscribe, and I'll see you soon. Be safe, stay happy, and please study hard.
