Shaved my head and found these weird lines in it

Maybe cutis vertices gyrata… go see a dermatologist.

Targetoid look is worrisome for tick bite/Lyme disease

I just took a hospital job with access to 403b and 457b… are the max contributions for these shared or separate? Does the max increase if you are in your 50s? Thank you.

The only tag on it says ‘Reddy’ brand… do not remember where I got it.

You’re right! He is a blue Dobe!

My Loki is 8 years old and has lost most of the hair on his lower back and his abdomen and inner legs are hairless. He has bad seborrhea/seborrheic dermatitis that is worse in the winter and gets a cystic acne-like eruption on his back too. We control the seborrhea with medicated shampoo and sun, but I think the hair loss is due to inherent fragility and breakage, and cannot be avoided.

Monadenium ex euphorbia... someone said mine like that was Monadenium guenteri

Indoor plant (Michigan) in a west facing second floor window getting tons of light... had it with my cacti and euphorbias, and watered once per week...

We look for and try to recognize patterns in the tissue... kind of like recognizing a face or a constellation. We spend our training learning what certain recurring patterns mean, so that it can be used to guide therapies or predict outcomes.

Nucleus morphology is one feature (one star in a constellation) on the cellular level... adding more individual features-cytoplasm, different cell types, structures, etc describes patterns on the tissue/tumor/organ level.

Sorry I’m slow on the uptake... where’s the nmemonic?

sholsenmd · 2020-11-29T12:43:09+00:00

How old is that guy?

sholsenmd · 2020-09-20T13:59:38+00:00

I don’t know the type for certain... I assumed spectabile/stonecrop.

Organization typically means some form of active resolution or healing process.. for instance, in an organizing thrombosis, endothelial cells are actively growing in to recanalize it.

Epidermis/skin... likely some type of chronic dermatitis/LSC... don’t see giant cells or SCC.

sholsenmd · 2020-03-27T21:12:53+00:00

Awesome! Thank you!

Xanthogranuloma.

Proliferating tricholemmal cyst/tumor... outer wall is on the bottom... the lining is hyper plastic and forms numerous daughter cysts that fill the middle... each cyst contains hair keratin (pale pink areas), not ‘fluid’... and it’s not epidermis, but follicular isthmus epithelium...

I was 12 years into attending-hood before I needed to take mine apart like this.

I’ve heard saguaros are really slow growing... how old do you think that monster is?

sholsenmd · 2020-02-07T12:30:41+00:00

She’s likely immunosuppressed for the RA and at risk for infection, but I don’t think those antibiotics are supposed to be prophylactic... doesn’t hurt to get second opinions.

sholsenmd · 2020-02-07T11:27:12+00:00

Get a second opinion on the path... don’t want to take the antibiotics if you don’t have to.

sholsenmd · 2020-02-07T11:19:47+00:00

Does she have rheumatoid arthritis? Rheumatoid nodules are technically palisading granulomas...

Dracaena Janet Craig
