enlarged posterior cranial fossa with absent cerebellar vermis replaced by midline cyst — dandy-walker malformation = 

neurofibromas, schwannomas, gliomas, and pheochromocytomas (nf-1 = tumor suppressor)

mass crosses corpus callosum + high csf protein

cerebellopontine angle (good prognosis with resection)

t. pallidum/neurosyphilis (tabes dorsalis of dorsal column)

lewy bodies

head of caudate atrophy

neurofibrillary tangles + apo e4 = chrom 19, sorl = 11

perivascular lymphocytes + demyelination

fall and hemorrhage in gyrus rectus

benign (vertebrae don't close over cord)

lemon sign/banana sign (folate deficit)

occiput doesn't form = brain herniation (increased afp)

obstruct csf flow = hydrocephalus

linear parasagittal infarct

hemorrhage into basal ganglia

berry aneurysm --> subarachnoid hemorrhage

temporal lobe lesion

thiamine deficiency (periaqueductal gray)

in pons/midbrain from herniation --> edema + uncal herniation damaging small perforating vessels

cerebellar tonsil herniation through posterior fossa

biphasic synchronous sharp-wave complexes

meningomyelocele, cerebellar tonsil displaced down, medulla displaced from posterior fossa into foramen magnum, midbrain tectum is tenting

lose anterior horn cells (like als) --> "floppy baby"

taenia solium/pork tapeworm) = form cysts within subarachnoid space and cortex (non-enhanching lesions) --> can block csf = hydrocephalus

ring-enhancing lesion (most common in hiv)  

b. burgdorferi causes erythema migrans, pericarditis, and neuro symptoms

go to grey-white junctions

inside ventricles (well circumscribed) --> can cause obstructive hydrocephalus

sodium imbalance (siadh complication)

Don't listen to anybody. Nobody knows the magic bullet. If they did, they'd sell it and make a fortune. Follow your gut. Follow your instincts. Every once in a while, take a chance.

That attitude toward women as objects may have worked for the late Sixties, but it doesn't do so now.

If your attitude toward the world is good, you will obtain good results. If your attitude is excellent, excellent will your results.

I'm not exactly a guy who makes new friends easily.

You can't blame movies for embracing spectacle; filmmakers since D.W. Griffith and Cecil B. De Mille have loved spectacle, and spectacle is something that movies convey like no other medium, especially in a digital age.

I mean, I hate to gloat, but I'm extremely satisfied with my position in life and the way things have worked out for me.

I will say that when I first came out to the States to work on 'Jericho,' that was the only time that I've ever been frightened about a job, because in America they tell stories over such a long time, and I was petrified that I'd get bored.

When I had jobs, I was always doing manual jobs because I couldn't think. I worked at the docks, unloading trucks, and did ridiculous jobs.

Monogamy is a way of getting the versions of ourselves down to the minimum.

In Irish law, busking is considered vagrancy - you can be arrested for it. It's risky asking people for money in public. So it's not like it's a high-art job. And people who do it as a high-art job make very little money.

I was a single dad in New York City, raising a child and pursuing a career.

I would more appropriately define mastery as the technical ability possible within the constraints of your particular existence.

In 49 countries around the world, including all of Europe, people have the opportunity of knowing whether or not they are eating food which contains genetically engineered ingredients. In the United States, we don't.

I can't talk about my singing. I'm inside it. How can you describe something you're inside of?

A bitter spirit will keep you from being a better person.

I live between Europe, America and Asia.

It's my impression that I've done every job that I've been asked to do.

So much of a stand-up's life is doing live radio and having to be funny and quick on the spot with these strangers, and sort of surgical in terms of how funny I can be in three minutes.

When an accident or a crime happens, there's a period of time before the yellow tape goes up, before the official response becomes formalized. That allows the nightcrawlers to get very close.
