The esophagus also has a marked absence of peristalsis[rx]. In less than 50% of patients, the lower esophageal sphincter is hypertensive.[rx] This condition causes a functional

Impact Abrasions result from a swift blow and require considerable force. Patterned abrasions resulting from blows, collisions, and run-over, etc. are examples of impact abrasions. An abrasion is a partial thickness wound caused by damage to the skin and can be superficial involving only the epidermis to deep, involving the deep dermis. Abrasions usually involve minimal bleeding.[rx] Mild abrasions, also known as grazes or scrapes,

Pressure Abrasions result from prolonged compression of the epidermis. The force required to produce pressure abrasion is, however, minimal. E.g., the use of rough material for hanging produces a ligature mark that is an imprint of the material used. An abrasion is a partial thickness wound caused by damage to the skin and can be superficial involving only the epidermis to

These are most commonly seen in cases of road traffic accidents as well as in sports falls. Grazed abrasions are caused by the dragging of the body against a rough surface, resulting in the scrapping of the

Linear or Scratch Abrasions are caused by tangential forces resulting in denuding of the epidermis. Linear abrasions are the simplest of injuries and tend to heal by primary intention, without any sequelae. Linear abrasions have significant medicolegal importance, especially when seen over the neck, inner thighs, and genitalia. Linear or semicircular injuries are classically seen

Hirsuties Coronae Glandis/Pearly Penile Papules, also known as papillomatosis corona penis, corona capillitii, hirsuties coronae glandis, papillae coronis glands, and hirsutoid papillomas, are benign lesions of the penis.[rx][rx][rx] Pearly penile papules (PPP) are painless and benign lesions that present in rows around the corona of the glans penis in late adolescence or early adulthood. Although

What Is Penis Cancer?/Penis Cancer is an uncommon malignancy, but when diagnosed is psychologically devastating to the patient and can pose a difficult challenge to the treating urologist. Patients with this condition tend to delay seeking medical attention. This delay is associated with embarrassment, guilt, fear, and denial of the patient. Patients often attempt to

Penis Cancer is an uncommon malignancy, but when diagnosed is psychologically devastating to the patient and can pose a difficult challenge to the treating urologist. Patients with this condition tend to delay seeking medical attention. This delay is associated with embarrassment, guilt, fear, and denial of the patient. Patients often attempt to self-medicate with lotions
