Morquio syndrome is when the metabolism does not have enough or is missing a substance. These molecules are called glycosaminoglycans.

Ekbom Syndrome (ES) is the somatic delusion of an infestation of parasites or inanimate particles in or on the body, where no evidence of an infestation is found. Those afflicted often report sensations of small crawling, biting, or burrowing insects on or in their skin, or thread-like fibers stuck in their flesh. Persons with ES often have both visual and tactile hallucinations that support their fixed belief of an infestation. It is not unusual for persons with ES to consult several non-mental health professionals such as exterminators, or dermatologists which delays treatment for many. ES clients with pets frequently believe that their pet is also infested and may repeatedly visit their veterinarian seeking assistance. Additionally, ES sufferers may resort to using dangerous chemicals, and pesticides while trying to rid themselves of their infestation. These noxious chemicals can exacerbate the itching sensations the ES client attributes to the infestation, creating a cyclical problem. People with ES may try to excise the delusional bugs and flay areas of their skin. Obviously, this skin picking can make ES clients vulnerable to secondary infection in the open self-inflicted wounds. Often ES sufferers may keep bits of the skin or scabs in containers, or try to take photographs attempting to prove the existence of the offending parasitic

“...at the beginning of the malady, certain swelling either in the groin or under the armpits… waxed to the bigness of a common apple, others to the size of an egg, some more & some less, & these the vulgarly named plague - boils.” Giovanni Boccaccio (History.com Staff)

As the Port Pirie smelter continues to produce refined lead, copper, and gold, amongst other metals, concern has been raised regarding the emissions and their immediate effect on the population and the surrounding environment (Zinifex Limited, 2007).

In 2005, my husband was forced to retire from a job at Georgia Pacific. This was a job that he had been working at for thirty-three years. The muscles in his arms were tearing for no reason that we knew of and he was having some other health problems. It was very upsetting to both of us not knowing the outcome about his health and now no income as well. We had seen many doctors on many different occasions. We kept hitting a dead end. Finally, we were able to see a new doctor, a neurologist, and after examining my husband, he immediately said to my husband, "you have McArdle 's disease." It was a term that I was not familiar with at all. My heart dropped and I was not sure what we were up against. Understanding the limitations of a person with McArdle 's disease is the best way to live with it.

The commandments were meant to show the Israelites their need for God and their inability to live perfect lives by themselves. God wanted them to be aware of their own sinful natures and their need to depend on Him for their salvation. These commandments were also framed in the negative because “God has come in order to test you and in order that they fear of Him may remain with you”.

The hit TLC show Toddlers and Tiaras welcome viewers behind the scenes of the competitive world of child beauty pageants, showing viewers the glitz and glam of the pageant world.

Children beauty pageants are extremely exploitive and detrimental to a child’s overall well being, damaging self-esteem and health.

Headache = Tumor. Cough = Tuberculosis. Mole = Skin Cancer. Such is the thought process of a hypochodriac. As defined in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual-IV (DSM-IV), hypochondriasis is an unrealistic interpretation of one's bodily sensations as abnormal, leading to the fear and belief that one has a serious disease (1). This preoccupation with having a serious medical condition is one of the somatoform disorders and may be considered more as a symptom than a disease. In fact, hypochondriacal symptoms often appear as a part of other mental disorders, including forms of depression or schizophrenia (2). For this reason, a close investigation of hypochondriacal behavior is necessary to
