[photo] Geographic tongue

A 61-year-old man was referred for treatment of painless white lesions on his tongue that had appeared 1 month earlier. He had been treated with topical and systemic antifungal drugs for presumed oral candidiasis, but the lesions remained unchanged. The patient reported that a similar episode 1 year earlier had resolved spontaneously. Lingual examination revealed multiple erythematous patches with an annular, well-demarcated white border. A diagnosis of geographic tongue was made. Geographic tongue (benign migratory glossitis) is a benign inflammatory condition that affects approximately 2% of the world’s population. The classic manifestation is a maplike distribution of erythema caused by atrophy of the filiform papillae of the tongue, surrounded by a white hyperkeratotic rim. The lesions typically resolve spontaneously without sequelae but can develop quickly in other areas of the tongue.

Man tries to extract a lodged fish bone with a spoon [photo]

A 50-year-old man presented to the emergency department with marked dysphagia, dyspnea, and paroxysmal cough. He had swallowed a spoon while trying to extract a fish bone that was stuck in his throat. The presence and position of the spoon were verified in two radiographs (Panels A and B). With the patient under general anesthesia and with the aid of a laryngoscope, the end of the tablespoon was grabbed with forceps and safely extracted. No fish bone was detected on evaluation with esophagogastroduodenoscopy. The spoon was 19 cm in overall length, and the bowl of the spoon was 6.5 cm by 4 cm by 0.5 cm in its largest dimensions.

White tongue - NEJM

“A 55-year-old male nonsmoker with multiple myeloma refractory to chemotherapy was admitted to the hospital for autologous stem-cell transplantation. Palifermin was to be administered before and after the transplantation. On completion of the 3-day infusion of palifermin before transplantation, an asymptomatic, white, adherent plaque developed, coating the tongue. Culture revealed normal oral flora, without candida. Oral mucositis did not develop, and the white plaque faded, without treatment, over a 1-week period and did not recur during the post-transplantation administration of palifermin. The patient was discharged 2 weeks after the successful transplantation. Palifermin, a recombinant keratinocyte growth factor, is used for the prevention of oral mucosal injury induced by cytotoxic therapy in patients undergoing hematopoietic stem-cell transplantation. Palifermin stimulates the proliferation and differentiation of epithelial cells. The white tongue is commonly observed in patients treated with palifermin and most likely reflects transient, protective mucosal thickening.“

Nutrition labels should replace grams with “sugar cubes” [photo]

Would you eat 16 sugar cubes?  Probably not.  But that’s how much you’re consuming when you drink a bottle Coke.  A label reads “39 grams of sugar” in your soda but what does that much sugar look like?

“We’ve used regular sugar cubes (4 grams of sugar each) to show how the sugars in your favorite foods literally stack up, gram for gram.  Compare foods, find out where sugar is hiding, and see how much of the sweet stuff you’re really eating.“

You’ll find sugar content of foods in these categories:

• Beverages
• Breakfast foods
• Candy
• Cookies
• Deserts
• Fruits
• Sauces
• Shakes & Smoothies
• Snacks
• Vegetables

Definitely check out this informative website!

Man inhales seed–grows fir tree in his lungs [news/photo]

Do you remember the TV show Fact or Fiction (I think that was the name of it)?  Well I think this story should have been included in it.

Artyom Sidorkin was complaining of strong chest pains along with coughing up blood.  Doctors found a tumor in one of his lungs and took a biopsy to see if it was cancerous.  They were amazed to find a 5-cm fir tree!  The needles were poking the capillaries.  Physicians suggested the bud was inhaled, which started to grow in his body.

Ski jump toilet stalls [photo]

I would love to relieve myself in one of these stalls!  I just can’t afford the trip to Japan.  For a better effect, make sure to see the full screen picture at the source page.  Even better–right click as use it as desktop wallpaper!!!

Just align your feet on the painted skis on the floor and imagine you are barreling down the mountain bare-assed on a rocket full of feces…The only problem is that you will have to book a flight to Japan to enjoy the benefits. These stalls have been built in various ski resort bathrooms there a part of a promotion for Coca-Cola’s Georgia Max Coffee.
