BaroneRocks Goes Live!!!

This blog is dedicated to my medical students, residents, and fellows that I teach at my institutions. Medicine should be fun so why not in cyberspace too!

When diseases strike, they don’t spare the rich and famous.  Because of their popularity, the pathology becomes very memorable. So I like to use “pathology of the stars” to help tattoo the information to your brain.

I'm going to comment on Exam-Relevant topics. If it’s an exam question…. I’ll talk about it. I’m all about points, baby, points!

Pathology of the Stars: Kim Kardashian

Kim Kardashian Diagnosed with Skin Disorder

Video (1 minute)

On an episode of "Keeping up with the Kardashians",  Kim  Kardashian is diagnosed with Psoriasis!  Apparently, her mother also had it as well.

Kim Kard"rash"ian??

What are some common sites?

  • Scalp (flaking scales resemble dandruff)
  • Elbows (No more rubbin' elbows for her!)
  • Knees (No comments please)
  • Buttocks (oh no!)

What is Koebner phenomenon?

Koebner phenomenon describes development of psoriatic lesions in areas that have been scratched or have had local trauma.
