Saponification is the process of the human body partly or completely turning to soap. The fatty tissue and the liquid from putrefaction gradually form into adipocere, which is also known as grave wax. This process can happen to embalmed and non-embalmed bodies. It is most common with those who are overweight. The photograph above is of “The Soap Lady” who is housed at the Mutter Museum. She is entirely composed of grave wax.

Work has had a few squamous cell carcinomas come in recently and I wanted to share just how pretty these can look, even when they are inflamed like this one is.
This invasive neoplasm typically consists of islands and trabeculae of keratinising (keratin-producing) stratified squamous epithelium. They can range from well differentiated like in this case, to more poorly differentiated and difficult to diagnose. The presence of keratin pearls (pictured in the top left and bottom right photos) is a huge help in diagnosing these neoplasms.

In a study in the journal Science Advances, the researchers validated the accuracy of the blood test that identifies key biomarkers of osteoarthritis.
They showed that it predicted development of the disease, as well as its progression, which was demonstrated in their earlier work.
The research advances the utility of a blood test that would be superior to current diagnostic tools that often don’t identify the disease until it has caused structural damage to the joint.

Love this old coyote skull. He lost several teeth while he was alive but he still has a lovely smile. <3

27.08.2023 | I've spent most of this morning creating more reels for my Instagram. As much as I love doing it, I forgot how time consuming editing videos can be! Now, it's time for me to finish off one of my upcoming Notion templates (it's a travel planner, like the ULTIMATE travel planner) and do some revision ahead of my upcoming clinical placement starting this Tuesday. Hope you're all having a great day.

Time for another appreciation post for sarcomas because I came across a mother of one the other day:
1 - a relatively normal cancer cell with a prominent nucleolus (dark dot in the middle of the slightly lighter oval)
2 - a cancer cell showing an increased cell size and a large nucleolus
3 - a cancer cell who decided to become a beast with significant karyomegaly and a huge nucleolus
1 - a relatively normal cancer cell
2 - a super large beast with four nucleoli
1 - a normal sized cancer cell
2 - a cancer cell with two large nuclei of varying sizes (so a binucleated cell with karyomegaly)
3 - a cancer cell with karyomegaly and a large nucleolus
4 - me on an average monday
