Antibiotics that are contraindicated during pregnancy and for what reasons.
Multiple myeloma points of interest :
• Bone punched out lesion...> due to osteoclasts activating factor, and
osteoblasts differentiation inhibitor.
• When light chains get converted into amyloid, they cause nephrotic
syndrome.
• Proteinaceous tubular casts in urine (light chains), tubular basement
membrane calcinosis, and acute renal failure.
• Normocytic anemia, rouleaux formation, quantitative platelets defect.
• Most common cause of death is infection (St.pneumonia, and H.influenza)
The image above shows the rectum and anus. The external sphincter is at the bottom and the internal shpincter is shown by the pectinate line at the top.
In this figure
A represents an internal hemorrhoid,
B represents an external prolapsed hemorrhoid,
C is a mixed hemorrhoid (both internal and external),
D is a thrombosed hemorrhoid and
E is an external hemorrhoid.

Multiple endocrinal neoplasias are shown with such simplicity in this diagram that i found at Wikipedia.
The diagram illustrates MEN 1 (also known as Werner’s) , MEN 2A (Sipple’s) and MEN 2B.
To remember… have the diagram in mind and remember PPP, PMP , MMP. You’ ll never forget .
MEN 1 is P,P,P (3P)
MEN 2A is PMP
MEN 2B is MMP

Rocker Bottom Feet may appear as a phenotypic characteristic of Trisomy 18 (Edwards Syndrome
or in Trisomy 13 (Patau’s Syndrom) or in Trisomy 9.Rocker Bottom Feet takes its name from the curved feet of
Rocking Chair (Rocker Chair).
In Trisomy 18 (edwards syndrome) rocking bottom feet are accompanied by
Microganathia, flexion defect in 3rd and 4th fingers , prominent occiput and Congenital heart disease.
Whereas in Trisomy 13 (Patau’s Synrome) rocking bottom feet are associated with
Polydactyly, Micropthlamia,cleft lip and palate.
(While in both trisomy 18 and trisomy 13 there is mental retardation as common feature)
This defect of feet occurs because TALUS is VERTICALLY Long and it makes the Calcaneus very Prominent.
This diagram shows Foot bones anatomy. The talus bone demonstrated here (in diagram) will get large in Vertical way in Rocking Bottom Feet.

Dear Reader, you must have seen logos similar to the above one along the names of hospitals or medical schools. Logos at your doctor’s clinic may be, where a Snake coils up around a rod . Such logos are full of meanings. There are many Mythical stories behind how and what gave rise to such a symbolization of Medical worlds.
The stories seem very real ,wherever you get to read one. Ancient days , Ancient Healers, Spiritual influences on both the healers and the sufferers they healed …these logos ,in fact, symbolize those ancient times.
SNAKE's venom was used in medicinal practice to cure diseases . Many a times its diluted form given for oral intake, many a times applied to wounds. It must have worked in those old times,of course with certain species of snakes’ venom. Snake also symbolized the 'precious extracts from herbs' - such that , it was as hard to get those extracts like finding the right snake and getting its venom ,saving from its fangs !
That Snake is called the SERPENT in medical logos.
The ROD around which snakes are rising and coiling up, represents the ROD that ancient healers held with them. You must have seen in photos/movies that ancient days are symbolized such that the well reputed personalities always hold a ROD with them, back then that heavy wooden ROD was considered authority/knowledge /and symbolized a person with Sacred Healing Powers.
& the WINGS which are in some medical logos symbolize that we are always flying higher , and higher, soaring to new heights of healing powers, with our medicine(the serpent) and the ROD(sacred knowledge).
