An asymptomatic diffuse palatal mass
An 82 year-old African-American woman presented for evaluation of “itchiness and tingling” of the palate and a poorly fitting maxillary denture of two months history. Her medical history was significant for hypertension, hyperlipidemia, atrial fibrillation, gout, gastroesophageal reflux disease and a history of left breast ductal carcinoma in-situ (status-post excision and radiation therapy in 2008). Her medications included diltiazem, pravastatin, allopurinol, colchicine, and omeprazole and she had no known drug allergies.

Voodoo Medicine: Time To Stop
The world's most celebrated athlete standing on the podium in Rio in honor of receiving yet another gold medal has something important in common with your lazy uncle throwing back a cold one in his Barcalounger. Yes, swimming powerhouse Michael Phelps, purple-spotted from cupping therapy, and your slovenly relative with a beer gut both share a bond -- a weakness in succumbing to the allure of voodoo medicine. Modern-day snake oil salesmen hawking quick cures and TV doctors peddling the latest diet miracle with blatantly ridiculous claims are everywhere on the tube, social media, the supermarket and old-fashioned billboards...

What Are Some of the Classes of Environmental Pollutants Affecting Children?
Discussion Children are particularly susceptible to heavy metals in the environment and while arsenic is not regarded as a heavy metal by chemists (it is a semi-metal) it is often lumped in with mercury and lead because all have similar toxic affects. Elemental arsenic is not toxic itself, but inorganic and organic compounds are toxic. Inorganic compounds are particularly toxic because they are highly lipid soluble. Arsenic sources include water, air, marine animals, and fossil fuels. Fruits, vegetables, milk and rice can also be contaminated. As rice plants grow they can absorb more arsenic than some other grains. The Ame...

Spring health cheat sheet
The beginning of spring often brings warm weather and hours of outdoor fun, and many common winter infections recede. Unfortunately, spring weather can bring its own health challenges. As soon as the trees and flowers bloom, flowers bud and the grass grows, susceptible children will start to display symptoms of seasonal allergies. Seasonal allergies cause sneezing, runny nose and itchy red eyes and can trigger flares of asthma and eczema. As children spend more time outdoors, parents also need to watch for exposure to ticks, poison ivy and excess sun. Read on for the parents’ guide to spring health. Seasonal allergies: ...

Eosinophils in cancer: favourable or unfavourable?
Abstract Eosinophils are granulocytic leukocytes residing in blood and tissues in the lung, breast, gastrointestinal and reproductive systems. Eosinophilia is uncommon in healthy individuals, however, it is associated with allergies, helminth infections and some inflammatory states. Eosinophilia has also been observed in cancer, including colorectal, breast, ovarian, cervical, oral squamous, Hodgkin's lymphoma and prostate cancer. Whether an increase in eosinophils leads to a favourable or unfavourable prognosis still remains controversial and depends on many factors including the type of cancer. Eosinophil infilt...

Why Would I Be Low in Vitamin D?
My doctors and I test blood levels of vitamin D on everyone we see in our clinic. When the results come in, two things happen: 1. Pretty much everyone is low in vitamin D. 2. Pretty much everyone is shocked that they are low in vitamin D. Why worry about vitamin D? It's important. Multiple studies have shown that people with low levels of Vitamin D have the following: • Weaker bones [1] • Higher mortality rate [2] • More allergies and asthma [3] • Greater risk of cancer [4] • Higher risk of diabetes [5] • Greater risk of heart attacks [6] • Higher rates of MS [7] • Higher risk of infections [8] • More me...

5 Scary Symptoms That Are Usually Harmless
SPECIAL FROM Next Avenue By Linda Melone After 50, aches, pains and the occasional muscle twinge become a fact of life. But some symptoms that may seem frightening or serious turn out to be far less than they appear. While you should always see a doctor if you experience something out of the ordinary, these signs generally are more smoke than fire: A Bloody Nose Nosebleeds can be particularly frightening due to the suddenness in which they occur and the sometimes large amount of blood involved. “People worry that it’s internal bleeding, but almost every time it’s not,” says Dr. Carlo Reyes, emergency room...

Evaluation of micronuclear frequencies in both circulating lymphocytes and buccal epithelial cells of patients with oral lichen planus and oral lichenoid contact reactions
ConclusionsMN scores do not distinguish OLP from OLCR when using buccal smears but significant differences were observed in peripheral lymphocytes. OLP and OLCR both demonstrated significantly higher MN frequencies in both buccal and circulating lymphocytes cells, compared with healthy controls. MN assesment in both buccal epithelial cells and circulating lymphocytes may serve as a potential biomarker tool for evaluating any cancer risk in OLP and OLCR.This article is protected by copyright.
