@DocPriyamMD What would you suggest, Dr.? And one more question, if itching is also felt in these patches, what does it imply?

Since last 3-4 months, I have been observing patients and their attendants much more closely. Whether I’m in the OPD, the wards, or the ICU, I have noticed a pattern that is honestly alarming. People come in for a simple cough, an Urinary infection or just to accompany a sick relative but I’m seeing Acanthosis Nigricans almost everywhere. It’s that dark, velvety hyperpigmentation on the neck or armpits. Most people dismiss it as dirt or a tan, but clinically, it’s a massive red flag. It’s one of the earliest signs of Insulin Resistance, signaling that your body is struggling to handle sugar long before your lab reports actually turn Diabetic. I see it in healthy young adults and even in children. If you or someone in your family has this, don’t ignore it. It’s not at all a skin problem or hygiene issue...it’s a lifestyle warning. Cut the junk, fix the sleep, and start moving! P.S: Images are from the public domain.

@DocPriyamMD Thanks 😊

@amythfromassam Ok will do that

Eric Dane was diagnosed with ALS (Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis) in April 2025. In less than a year, he went from a beloved screen icon to a fierce advocate for others battling the same condition. RIP. I can see many comments asking what is ALS, let me explain to you in layman terms without fancy neurology jargons Imagine your body is a high-tech car. Your brain is the driver, and your muscles are the engine. Usually, the driver sends signals through wires (nerves) to make the engine move. In ALS, those wires called motor neurons start to fray and snap! The Brain is fine: The "driver" is still alert and conscious. The Muscles are fine: The "engine" is capable of working. The Connection is dead: Because the "wires" are broken, the signal never reaches the muscle. If you don't use a muscle, it eventually withers away (atrophy).. Unlike many other diseases, ALS usually doesn’t affect your mind, memory, or senses. You can still see, hear, and think perfectly, but you are slowly "locked in" a body that no longer responds. As we saw with Eric Dane, the progression can be shockingly fast. Most patients lose the ability to walk, talk, eat, and eventually breathe within 3 to 5 years

@DocPriyamMD Dr., kindly elaborate on this challenge, if possible in a detailed post.

The "Ice Bucket Challenge" years ago actually funded the discovery of new genes. Every time we talk about it, we get closer to a cure.

@begoniARCIIae 🤍🍀

Talks done — now it's time to focus on annotating Philippine Herbarium specimens at BO. Back to the collections!

@begoniARCIIae Happy Lunar Year! 🤍

Back to twerk, work rather! 🫣 Happy Lunar New Year everyone! 🥳🥳🥳

Do you remember when you joined X? I do! #MyXAnniversary

@begoniARCIIae Happy Valentine's Day to all of you!

This Valentine's Day, I was given the incredible opportunity to embrace the largest banana in the world, Musa ingens, growing in the tropical montane forests of New Guinea's Arfak Mountains Regency in West Papua. A majestic moment, officially checked off the bucket list.

@Konpai_099 Waah, Baruah, waah! 👏👏👏

Assam plays Game of Thrones: one side sees foreign dragons at the gates, the other sees corrupt dragons in the castle. When the dust settles, who claims the Iron Throne - the reigning King or the Crown Prince?

@begoniARCIIae 🤍

2 chapters down, 1 more to go (Darwinian shortfall). 😵‍💫

@DocPriyamMD When some are obsessed with magical properties of camel urine, you're shedding light on another. Well, thanks for sharing.

In the Himba tribe of Namibia, a child’s birth is not marked by the day they enter the world, nor even by conception. It begins much earlier, on the day the child is first imagined... When a woman decides she wants a child, she sits beneath a tree and listens. In the stillness, she hears the song of the child who wishes to be born. She carries that melody back to the man who will be the father and teaches it to him. When they come together to conceive, they sing the child’s song, inviting the spirit into life. During pregnancy, the mother shares the song with midwives and elders. And when the baby is born, the community gathers, singing the child’s song to welcome them into the world. As the child grows, everyone learns the melody. If the child stumbles or is hurt, someone sings their song to lift them up. If they succeed or pass through rites of passage, the song is sung to honor them. There is another moment when the song is sung. If a person commits a crime or acts against the community, they are brought to the center of the village. The people form a circle around them—not to punish, but to remind. They sing the person’s song, calling them back to who they truly are. For the Himba, correction comes not through shame, but through love. To remember your song is to remember your essence and to live in harmony with others. And when age has taken its toll, and a man lies ready to die, the villagers gather once more. They sing his song one final time, carrying him out of this world with the same melody that first invited him in. © Reddit #drthehistories
