Erythrodermic psoriasis

Erythrodermic psoriasis

Erythrodermic psoriasis is an uncommon, aggressive, inflammatory form of psoriasis. Symptoms include a peeling rash across the entire surface of the body. The rash can itch or burn intensely, and it spreads quickly. Erythrodermic psoriasis is one of the most severe types of psoriasis. If complications develop, it can be life-threatening. The condition most often affects people who already have unstable plaque psoriasis. It can also occur at the onset of an episode of plaque psoriasis or alongside another rare type of psoriasis called von Zumbusch pustular psoriasis.

Neurosurgery

This operation includes cortical surface mapping (motor cortex mapping). This allows neurosurgeons to choose a much safer corridor to remove a lesions or anything else that is near the motor cortex. The primary motor cortex is the Brodmann area 4.

Von hippel lindau syndrome

Von hippel lindau syndrome

Von Hippel-Lindau syndrome is an inherited disorder characterized by the formation of tumors and fluid-filled sacs (cysts) in many different parts of the body. Tumors may be either noncancerous or cancerous and most frequently appear during young adulthood; however, the signs and symptoms of von Hippel-Lindau syndrome can occur throughout life. Tumors called hemangioblastomas are characteristic of von Hippel-Lindau syndrome. These growths are made of newly formed blood vessels. Although they are typically noncancerous, they can cause serious or life-threatening complications. Hemangioblastomas that develop in the brain and spinal cord can cause headaches, vomiting, weakness, and a loss of muscle coordination (ataxia). Hemangioblastomas can also occur in the light-sensitive tissue that lines the back of the eye (the retina). These tumors, which are also called retinal angiomas, may cause vision loss. People with von Hippel-Lindau syndrome commonly develop cysts in the kidneys, pancreas, and genital tract. They are also at an increased risk of developing a type of kidney cancer called clear cell renal cell carcinoma and a type of pancreatic cancer called a pancreatic neuroendocrine tumor. Von Hippel-Lindau syndrome is associated with a type of tumor called a pheochromocytoma, which most commonly occurs in the adrenal glands (small hormone-producing glands located on top of each kidney). Pheochromocytomas are usually noncancerous. They may cause no symptoms, but in some cases they are associated with headaches, panic attacks, excess sweating, or dangerously high blood pressure that may not respond to medication. Pheochromocytomas are particularly dangerous in times of stress or trauma, such as when undergoing surgery or in an accident, or during pregnancy. About 10 percent of people with von Hippel-Lindau syndrome develop endolymphatic sac tumors, which are noncancerous tumors in the inner ear. These growths can cause hearing loss in one or both ears, as well as ringing in the ears (tinnitus) and problems with balance. Without treatment, these tumors can cause sudden profound deafness. Noncancerous tumors may also develop in the liver and lungs in people with von Hippel-Lindau syndrome. These tumors do not appear to cause any signs or symptoms.

Rare caze 🙏🏻

An AMAZING case of a lithopedion (stone baby) that was inside his mother’s pelvis for 40 years!! We present the case of a 77-year-old woman with an incidental diagnosis of a lithopedion, which had been retained in her left pelvis for presumably 40 years. This extremely rare phenomenon is called Lithopedion, which means "stone baby". It consists of an ectopic abdominal pregnancy in which the fetus dies but cannot be reabsorbed by the mother's body, which then coats it in a calcium-rich substance. That fetus was too big to be reabsorbed by the body, and subsequently calcified on the outside as part of a maternal foreign body reaction, shielding the mother's body from the dead tissue of the fetus and preventing infection. It is not unusual for a stone baby to remain undiagnosed for decades.

3D Heart ♥

A giant step for mankind - 3D printed human heart!!! For the first time in recorded history, Israeli scientists at Tel Aviv University have created a working, vascularized engineered heart using human cells by printing it in 3D — a stunning achievement that could change the world of medicine by ending the reliance on donated organs. The world’s first “printed heart” was made with actual human biological material, although only about the size of a rabbit’s heart, making it too small for a human. But the achievement demonstrates the potential for being able to 3D print full-sized organs one day. This is the first time anyone anywhere has successfully engineered and printed an entire heart replete with cells, blood vessels, ventricles and chambers. To create the 3D printed heart, a biopsy of fatty tissue was taken from patients. The cellular and a-cellular materials of the tissue were then separated. While the cells were reprogrammed to become pluripotent stem cells, the extracellular matrix (ECM), a three-dimensional network of extracellular macromolecules such as collagen and glycoproteins, were processed into a personalized hydrogel that served as the printing “ink.” After being mixed with the hydrogel, the cells were efficiently differentiated to cardiac or endothelial cells to create patient-specific, immune-compatible cardiac patches with blood vessels and, subsequently, an entire heart. The researchers are now planning on culturing the printed hearts in the lab and “teaching them to behave” like hearts. They then plan to transplant the 3D-printed heart in animal models. Heart transplants are the only form of treatment for people with end-stage heart failure and many sick people die while waiting for a transplant, which can take six months or more.

Health VS MM bone marrow

Health VS MM bone marrow

Multiple myeloma( MM) is a cancer that forms in plasma cells ( type of WBC). Plasna cells help us to fight against infection by making antibodies. MM causes plasma cells to accumulate in bone marrow, where they crowd healthy blood cells

Conjunctival papilloma

Conjunctival papilloma

Papillomas can be benign or malignant and can be found in numerous anatomical locations (eg, skin, conjunctiva, cervix, breast duct). Specifically, conjunctival papillomas are benign squamous epithelial tumors with a minimal propensity toward malignancy. Conjunctival papillomas are categorized into infectious (viral), squamous cell, limbal, and inverted (histological description) based on appearance, location, patient's age, propensity to recur after excision, and histopathology. They demonstrate an exophytic growth pattern. Interestingly, inverted papillomas exhibit exophytic and endophytic growth patterns.

I remember walking into a comparative Anatomy and Physiology class Junior year of HS. It was an interesting time to be honest. From learning each chapter, we compared our anatomy and functions to every animal we dissected. When it came to our final dissection, it was a fetal pig. I was one of the only students to properly remove the brain from the cranial cavity and we observed the views including the optic chiasma. After our many hardships of tests and studying, preparing to put it all together, we wrote positive messages to the fetal pigs. We wrote, "Thank you for donating your body to science and helping us understand more about the way we live. Hope you enjoy heaven where nothing can hurt you." Memories forever made with the class.

By shining red light, it is absorbed by Hb in veins but not by skin, so they appear dark!! Infrared component is also used.

Leonine facies

Leonine facies is a facies that resembles that of a lion. It is seen in multiple conditions and has been classically described for Lepromatous leprosy as well as Paget's disease of bone. It is a dermatological symptom, with characteristic facial features that are visible on presentation, and is useful for focusing on differential diagnosis.
