The Sunflower

She is so happy under the morning sun
Petals so bright and joyful
Shining in the sunlight so beautiful
She dances in the wind ecstatic
Gets a shower in the drizzling rain
And they keep looking at each other…….


Time flew and it was soon dark
All alone, she is filled with sorrow
The water drops on her leaves like tears
Looks as if she will cry
For her love has gone away……..

Happy Friendship Day!

"When we honestly ask ourselves which person in our lives mean the most to us, we often find that it is those who, instead of giving advice, solutions, or cures, have
chosen rather to share our pain and touch our wounds with a warm and tender hand. The friend who can be silent
with us in a moment of despair or confusion, who can stay with us in an hour of grief and bereavement, who can
tolerate not knowing, not curing, not healing and face with us the reality of our powerlessness, that is a friend who cares."
— Henri J.M. Nouwen (The Road to
Daybreak: A Spiritual Journey)

HAPPY FRIENDSHIP DAY! TO ALL MY BUDDIES!

Christmas and Medicine...Merry Christmas to all! #medtweeps #christmas

Christmas is in the air! I was just wondering how Christmas relates to medicine...Sounds crazy!! But I ended up getting this, an eponymously named disease, clinical signs, radiological signs, a connection to toxicology and few other interesting stuff which is related to Christmas.....Post any further additions to the list in comments..

Christmas disease- aka hemophilia B...Is a blood clotting disorder caused by a mutation of the Factor IX gene, leading to a deficiency of Factor IX(Christmas factor). It is the less common form of haemophilia, rarer than haemophilia A. It has nothing to do with Christmas though, it is called Christmas disease after Stephen Christmas, the first patient described with this disease.

Christmas tree pattern- Seen in Pityriasis Rosea a scaling dermatological disorder, characterized by often widespread papulosquamous, hyperpigmented, scaling lesions that develop a "Christmas tree" pattern on the back.

Christmas tree deformity- A radiological sign seen sometimes in Intestinal atresia..In over 10% of patients with intestinal atresia the mesentery is absent, and the superior mesenteric artery cannot be identified beyond the origin of the right colic and ileocolic arteries. The ileum coils around one of these two arteries, giving rise to the so-called Christmas tree deformity on contrast radiographs.

CO toxicity from leaking electric Christmas tree lights -CO toxicity has also been reported as a result of inhaling methyl chloride vapor, which is a component of paint stripping solutions, or from leaking "bubble" electric Christmas tree lights

Tropical Sporotrichosis is common in those involved in Christmas tree farming- Sporotrichosis is a subacute or chronic subcutaneous infection caused by the fungus Sporothrix schenckii.Diagnosis should be considered when a cutaneous lesion is found on a patient involved with Christmas tree farming, landscaping, rose gardening, berry picking, baling of hay, and in veterinarians.
