Re: Work Place Explosion
Nope, decerebrate is hands down and pronated, hands up and in is decorticate.  |

Re: Work Place Explosion
How much real life experience do you have with this? It does not go neatly like the textbook illustrations. In theory, decorticate positioning is caused by injury rostral to the red nucleus. But those distinctions were made before we had live brain imaging to see the lesions in real time. In reality, lesions in many different parts of the brain can cause decorticate, decerebrate, or both. Clinical experience will tell you that in cases of severe brain trauma, generally decerebrate positioning develops first and decorticate later. Exactly why is unknown. Given the angle of incidence of the injury and the short distance he flew, it is unlikely the severe brain trauma was caused by his fall to the back of the head instead of the blow to the front. Therefore, years of clinical experience lead me to conclude that the bones of thus guy's nose and surrounding regions took an unplanned vacation into his forebrain. Whatever positioning occurs secondary to this injury is, by definition, decerebrate. Life isn't like nifty textbook diagrams. Try looking at a cell through a microscope. |

Re: Work Place Explosion
Why would you weld on top of a flammable container? People like this should be dead because they're too stupid to live.
