OK, outside my background but what does this mean for work on gnotobiotic mice? Presumably the same applies. How different can the baselines be in different strains.

Have definitely seen a few of these in #rheumatology as one of the painless lumpy bumpy things that we are asked about. There was a painful one though that spread under the hand flexor retinaculum. Pleased with the name change as the old one just never quite rolled off the tongue.

A right-handed man in his 50s presented with a painless, enlarging nodule destroying his nail. Biopsy confirmed a rare but locally aggressive tumor. What’s your diagnosis? #Dermatology #MedSky

From 2023, a nice discussion of retinal vein occlusions. I might always be on the lookout for #GCA but being clearer on the other options for painless vision loss is valuable.

📢 Listen: scrolling is a distraction from taking action. Pick some concrete way to help large or small every day, & get to it. I asked our public school counselor Fri what she needs in our school’s free food pantry & just bought it. Be a helper.
