Hey, this is Médicos. Is perfection, Alice. So, in the previous video, we have discussed paroxysmal nocturnal hemoglobinuria. Today, there is a nice mnemonic for that. Okay, this mnemonic is kind of religious, or religion related.
So, in ancient Judaism, pigs are deemed unclean. Okay. Next, let's go to traditional Christianity. A young man who developed nocturnal emissions overnight should not go to church the next morning. Nocturnal emissions, don't go to church next day.
Okay, let's go to the church. In ancient Greek, the word for church is ecclesia. Ecclesia means a congregation or a church. And, of course, you know that the Church believes in the ancient five books of Moses, known as the Torah in the Old Testament. What does this have to do with PNH? Let's see. Okay.
The pig is the PIG-A gene. The pig has two ears for CD55 and CD59. Those are missing in paroxysmal nocturnal hemoglobinuria. A very reliable test is called the HAM test. This is more reliable than the sucrose hemolysis test. So, the HAM test is nice. Next, let's go to nocturnal. Instead of nocturnal emissions, let's write paroxysmal nocturnal hemoglobinuria. And now to church, or ecclesia. So, we have a collision map, a cohesive map. And, the church believes in the five books of Moses. A collision map is an antibody to C5 complement. Wow, that's nice.
So, remember, in ancient tradition, when you get nocturnal emissions, you are not clean and you shouldn't go to church next day. And in nocturnal hemoglobinuria, you should get a CO-map. Okay, we're not promoting nor criticizing any religion. It is just a mnemonic to help you remember. It has worked for me. If it doesn't work for you, then forget it. And see you soon. Stay safe and study hard. Médicos is perfection, analysts.
