Chinese boy Xiao Feng 'gives birth' to twin brother after doctors find foetus growing in his stomach
______________________________
A two-year-old Chinese boy had surgery to "give birth" to his twin brother, after stunned doctors discovered his parasitic twin brother's foetus inside his stomach.

Xiao Feng, from Huaxi, China was taken to hospital after his stomach became so enlarged he was having difficulty breathing. X-Rays and MRI scans revealed Feng was carrying the undeveloped foetus of his twin inside his swollen stomach.

Shocked doctors diagnosed Feng as "pregnant" and rushed him into emergency surgery, where he was forced to "give birth" as doctors removed the dead twin foetus, reported the Inquisitr.
The foetus was 20cm wide and had developed a spine, fingers and toes. It had grown so much that it was taking up almost two-thirds of the boy’s stomach, doctors said.

The rare case of conjoined twins, known as cryptodidymus, is the case is extremely rare and possibly unprecedented in medicine, the Inquisitr reports. Conjoined twins form when the fertilised egg fails to separate completely.

Sweet's syndrome

Sweet's syndrome

Sweet's syndrome — also known as acute febrile neutrophilic dermatosis — is a rare skin condition marked by fever and painful skin lesions that appear mainly on your arms, neck, face and back.

The exact cause of Sweet's syndrome isn't always known. In some people, it's triggered by an infection, illness or certain medications. Sweet's syndrome can also occur with some types of cancer.

The most common treatment for Sweet's syndrome is corticosteroid pills, such as prednisone. Signs and symptoms often disappear just a few days after treatment begins, but recurrence is common.

Sweet's syndrome is marked by an abrupt eruption of small red bumps on your arms, neck, face or back — often after a fever or upper respiratory infection. The bumps grow quickly in size, spreading into painful clusters up to an inch or so in diameter.

FACTS ABOUT YOUR BRAIN

4 WEIRD FACTS ABOUT YOUR BRAIN
medicinenopain.blogspot.com
1. Scientists say the higher your I.Q, the more you dream.

2.The brain is much more active at night than during the day.
When you turn off, your brain turns on. Scientists don’t yet know why this is but you can thank the hard work of your brain while you sleep for all those pleasant dreams.

3. 80% of the brain is water.

4. The brain itself cannot feel pain. While the brain might be the pain center when you cut your finger or burn yourself, the brain itself does not have pain receptors and cannot feel pain. That doesn’t mean your head can’t hurt. The brain is surrounded by loads of tissues, nerves and blood vessels that are plenty receptive to pain and can give you a pounding headache

hemorrhage and hemorrhagic disorders

hemorrhage

hemorrhagic disorders

excessive bleeding can result from deficiency of one of the many different blood clotting factors.

the hemorrhagic disorders are:

1- hemorrhagic disorders due to abnormalities of blood platelets:

thrombocytopenia ( thrombocytopenic purpura)

this is a disease characterized by a very low level of platelets i.e. below 50.000\cubicm

there is tendency of spontaneous bleeding from many small capillaries ,usually beneath the skin from mucous membranes and internal organs .

the skin shows many small , purplish spots giving the disease the name thrombocytopenic purpura .

types:

a-idiopathic thrombocytopenia   the cause is unknown

b-secondary thrombocytopenia    occurs in association with aplasia of the bone marrow e.g.  exposure to X rays ,radioactive substances ,neoplastic deposits ,very severe fevers and drug sensitivity.

thrombasthenia

it is a state in which the platelets are normal in quantity but defective in function which may result in a bleeding tendency

it may be primary or secondary e.g. in severe uremia and exposure to certain drugs as aspirin
