The triangle symbol in medical notes typically signifies a change or new information that has been added to the patient's record. It is commonly used to draw attention to important updates or modifications in the patient's condition, treatment plan, or other relevant details. The triangle symbol serves as a visual cue for healthcare providers to quickly identify and review the highlighted information within the medical documentation.
"As a veterinarian we use math daily in various ways. Probably the most common way I use math is to calculate drug dosages for my patients. Since I have patients ranging from 1-200 pounds, there is a wide range of dosages I could use for different medications. For example, if I have a 5 pound Chihuahua that needs a medication that is dosed at 25 mg/kg, I first have to convert weight in pounds to weight in kilograms. (5/2.2=2.27 kg) Then I need to calculate the amount of mgs needed (2.27x25=56.8mg) Then if the medicine is a liquid that comes in a concentration of 100mg/1 ml I have to calculate the amount of liquid needed. (56.8/100=0.57 mls) This is done over and over and over again all day long. We also have certain medications that are dosed according to a body surface area. Other areas we use math and not as obvious to many people. We use it during surgery and radiology as well. In some surgeries we need to make incisions perpendicular to certain body structures or parallel to certain blood vessels. Many orthopedic surgeries are done with specific angles of the bones or joints in mind. In radiology we have to take films at a certain angle of the beam as it enters the patient. With IV fluids and medications, I need to be able to calculate the amount of dehydration is occurring in the patient in order to determine how much fluids need to be given to rehydrate and then maintain hydration. We use math to calculate the amount to food an animal needs to eat. We can calculate the daily metabolic needs of a patient and then figure out how many calories are in the food the dog eats in order to determine how much to feed."
No one really knows what Euclid of Alexandria is like. Most of the documentation about Euclid himself was written after his death by Proclus and Pappus of Alexandria. Very little is known about him, no one even knows the physical appearance of Euclid. According to some of his quotes, Euclid could have been a kind, patient man with a bit of sarcasm. King Ptolemy once asked Euclid if there was an easier way to study math than Elements, to which he then replied, "Sire, there is no royal road to geometry," and sent one of the most powerful kings off to study. On another occasion, a student of his questioned the value of learning geometry, asking, "What do I get by learning these things?" Euclid responded by summoning a slave and replying, "Give him three pence, since he must make a gain of what he learns."
Honey, those Aztecs weren't messing around when it came to building pyramids. It took them anywhere from a few months to several years to construct those bad boys, depending on the size and complexity. So, grab a snack and get comfy, 'cause building a pyramid was definitely a long-term project for those ancient folks.

The process involves positioning the patient on the radiographic table, adjusting the x-ray equipment, and shielding the patient when necessary. The radiologic technologist then takes the x-ray image and ensures it is of diagnostic quality before saving it for review by the radiologist or physician.
