    I knew teratomas were weird, but I never knew they could contain EYES.

    Also they can be highly specialised ("monodermal teratoma") into thyroid tissue ("struma ovarii") and cause hyperthyroidism. Neato!

    Was watching a documentary there recently on "fetus in fetu". Check it out.

    I was doing the exact same stuff yesterday. I wouldn't class myself as squeamish, but teratomas freak the crap out of me. The idea of teeth growing inside my private parts doesn't sit well.
    What I learned today (so far): SLE patients have an increased risk of both nephrotic and nephritic syndromes. Nephritic is the most common for them, and it's most likely to be diffuse proliferative glomerulonephritis (wire-looping capillaries with granular sub-endothelial IC deposition). The most common nephrotic is membranous nephropathy (thickened BM, granular sub-epithelial IC deposition with a spike+dome appearance on EM).

    I also learned that starting threads like this one is a good idea for me.

    After the kidney disease discussion, I read up on some of them and it really helped with an exam today. :)

    I learned that I'm hyper-flexible, putting me at an increased risk of joint dislocation or ligament tear! Also hyperflexibleness (hyperflexia?) is common in redheads (I'm not a red-head though!)

    Today I learned that approximately 25% of medical students become clinically depressed at some stage in their 3rd and 4th year (of a 4 year course). Not something I really wanted to hear as I enter 3rd year!

    I suppose it's the amount of stress and the fact that you spend much of your time being ignored by medical staff....There should be more focus on the area of depression and medical students however few will talk openly about their experience of depression.
