		<description><![CDATA[
Doctors at the University Hospitals and Medical School of Geneva recently diagnosed a new disease, which they dubbed the &#8220;PlayStation palmar hidradenitis&#8221; in reference to the popular Sony PlayStation video game console. It was found in an otherwise healthy 12 year-old girl who demonstrated painful lesions along the palms of both hands. They were noted [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[In today&#8217;s issue of the New England Journal of Medicine, there is the case of a 13-year old tuba player who was found to have left facial pain and swelling. Palpation of the parotid gland produced foamy secretions from the duct. There were otherwise no signs of an infection. The only laboratory abnormality was an [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The figurative use of the word &#8220;airhead&#8221; originated in the late 1970&#8217;s and signified a simple-minded or stupid person. But what are the characteristics of the literal &#8220;airhead&#8221; (or in medical jargon, pneumocephalus)? Does this person also exhibit similar deficits in cognitive function?
The New England Journal of Medicine recently featured the case of an Argentinian [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[We typically characterize hives as an allergic skin reaction manifested with diffuse swelling, itching, and redness. In an unusual case (with accompanying image) recently reported in the New England Journal of Medicine, a woman developed a reaction of blue hives.
The cause is not as much an enigma as it is atypical. The patient was a [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[My first&#8211;and hopefully, only&#8211;experience as a hospital patient occurred several years ago when I needed a minor surgical procedure performed. Although I would not want to repeat this experience, it was interesting to observe the delivery of medical care from the patient&#8217;s standpoint.
