Blepharospasm is a condition characterized by uncontrollable, forcible closure of the
eyelids caused by a progressive dysfunction of the nerve that controls muscles around the
eye. It is more than just blinking often.
Blepharitis is an inflammation of the eyelids, due to infection, usually accompanied by
crusts or scales on the eyelid margin. You can see the inflammation on the
edges of the eyelids called blepharitis in the picture.

Bone Marrow is the inner, spongy substance in the center of the bone that produces all
of the red blood cells and platelets and most of the white blood cells.
There are three special types of cells that are found only in the bone.
These cell names all start with OSTEO because that is the Greek word for bone.

A bone scan is a nuclear scanning test that identifies new areas of bone growth or
breakdown. It can be done to evaluate damage to the bones, to detect cancer that has
spread (metastasized) to the bones, and to monitor conditions that can affect the bones
(including infection and trauma).

Blood clots are a solid
mass of blood. Its function is to develop at the site of wounds to stop
blood loss. However, clots may form inappropriately within the blood
vessels, for example if the blood is flowing too slowly. Blood clots
within blood vessels can block the blood supply to certain parts of the
body.
A brain tumor is any growth of abnormal cells or uncontrolled proliferation of cells in
the brain. Primary brain tumors involve any such growth that originates in the brain,
rather than spreading to the brain from another part of the body. 
-
Breast abscess, a fairly common form of abscess, occurs in the tissue of the breast;
this is seen most often in post-partum women and in nursing mothers. Most of these
abscesses are due to an invasion of the breast tissue by skin organisms which either enter
via some minute crack in the nipple or work their way down through the breast duct system.
A breast abscess manifests itself as a warm tender swelling, sometimes accompanied by
chills or fever. It may respond to local compresses and antibiotics by mouth. If it does
not, the swelling will continue and may become fluctuant (soft), at which point an
incision to produce drainage may be necessary. Once drainage is established, the abscess
empties itself and healing generally occurs without incident.
-
Cancer is a class of diseases characterized by uncontrolled cell division and the
ability of these cells to invade other tissues, either by direct growth into adjacent
tissue (invasion) or by migration of cells to distant sites (metastasis). This unregulated
growth is caused by damage to DNA, resulting in mutations to vital genes that control cell
division, among other functions. One or more of these mutations, which can be inherited or
acquired, can lead to uncontrolled cell division and tumor formation. Tumor
(swelling in Latin) refers to any abnormal mass of tissue, but may be either
malignant (cancerous) or benign (noncancerous). Only malignant tumors are capable of
invading other tissues or metastasizing.
It is important to become familiar with the moles on your skin because, in rare cases,
they can become cancerous. Monitoring your moles and other pigmented patches, such as
freckles and age or liver spots, is an important first step in reducing your risk of skin
cancer especially malignant melanoma, which may begin in or near a mole or other
dark spot on the skin. Melanoma also can arise in areas of normal pigmentation.

The brown recluse spider lives throughout the Southern half of the United States. There
are ten different species, six of which are confirmed to be poisonous. The spiders are tan
to brown and most species exhibit a violin-shaped marking on the dorsum of the
cephalothorax. They tend to live in dark dry spaces such as attics, closets and wood
piles, and generally they are not aggressive but rather bite when forced to.
The bite generally causes some mild stinging or burning and ulcerative necrosis may
follow within several hours to several weeks. As seen in the picture
below initial lesion may be red, edematous or
blanched and may later may develop a blue-gray halo around the puncture.

Bursa pain is caused by bursitis. Bursa are small sacks of oil that
are located between tendons and bones near joints. Inflammation due to
trauma or other source can cause significant pain especially when body
movement causes a tendon or muscle to move across them.

A carcinoid is a slow-growing type of tumor usually found in the gastrointestinal system (most often
in the appendix), and sometimes in the lungs or other sites. Carcinoid tumors may spread
to the liver or other sites in the body, and they may secrete substances such as serotonin
or prostaglandins, causing carcinoid syndrome.
A type of cancer that develops from tissues covering or lining organs or glands of the
body, such as skin, colon, lung, or breast. Most of the cancers are carcinomas.
Bursitis is an inflammation of a bursa. A bursa is a fluid
filled sack that pads areas where tendons rub over bone.
In the knee there are several bursae that can cause bursitis of the
knee. . The image below will show you the 4 bursa listed below.

The butterfly rash of lupus is typically painless and does not itch. Along with
inflammation in other organs, the butterfly rash of lupus can be precipitated or worsened
by exposure to sunlight, a condition called photosensitivity. The photosensitivity can be
accompanied by a worsening of inflammation throughout the body, causing a
flare of the disease.

The cecum (also spelled caecum), the first portion of the large bowel, situated in the
lower right quadrant of the abdomen.
The cecum receives fecal material from the small bowel (ileum) which opens into it. The
appendix is attached to the cecum.
The word cecum comes from the Latin caecus meaning
blind. This refers to the fact that the bottom of the cecum is a blind pouch
(a cul de sac) leading nowhere.

Orbital Cellulitis most often presents with symptoms similar to preseptal
cellulites
such as red and swollen eyelids, but also includes pain, blurred or double vision, fever,
headache, and a red eye. The examining physician may find proptosis (forward displacement
of the eye), an abnormal pupil reaction, restricted movement of the eye, and swelling of
the optic nerve. A CT scan confirms the diagnosis and may further be necessary to rule-out
a foreign body in the orbit (eye socket).
Preseptal Cellulitis is an infectious condition of the eyelids which typically presents
with tender and red eyelids, unilateral or bilateral, and perhaps a mild fever. In severe
cases, the eyelids may be so tensely swollen that the eye may not open. There is no pain
with eye movement, however.
-
Face cellulitis is a bacterial skin infection which occur on the face especially the cheek or periorbital or orbital
tissues, although other areas such as the neck may be affected, which may be produced by
spread of an infection from nearby or distant foci. It is characterized by a bluish or
purplish red, tender, poorly demarcated area of indurated cellulitis with an edematous
border, and often accompanied by fever, local pain, and bacteremia.
-
Cellulitis is a spreading infection of the skin that usually begins as a small area of
tenderness, swelling, and redness on the skin. As this red area begins to spread, the
person may develop a fever, sometimes with chills and sweats, and swollen lymph nodes
(swollen glands) near the area of infected skin.

The skin normally has many types of bacteria living on it, but intact skin is an
effective barrier that keeps these bacteria from entering and growing within the body.
When there is a break in the skin, however, bacteria can enter the body and grow there,
causing infection and inflammation. The skin tissues in the infected area become red, hot,
irritated and painful.
Unlike impetigo, which is a very superficial skin infection, cellulitis refers to an
infection involving the skin's deeper layers; the dermis and subcutaneous tissue. The main
bacteria involved in cellulitis is Staphylococcus (staph), the same bacteria
that causes many cases of impetigo. Occasionally, other bacteria may cause cellulitis as
well.
