MEDICAL POEM
-Alzheimer’s, Alzheimer’s, it’s called the Alzheimer’sConfusion, and memory loss, it’s all about Alzheimer’s

Without a cure, aggressive it is

Plaques and tangles show up on the picture

 

-With no cause known, elderly are affected

Sometimes however, younger are affected

 

-A genetic causation has been advised

With multiple genes, so called devised

 

-Neuro-degeneration it causes ultimately

Withdrawal from society is seen subsequently

 

-Caregivers are devastated, and health budgets drained

But the poor patient is still left rotten and untamed

Professor

Department of Pathology, Index Medical College Hospital and Research Center, Indore, M P, India
RIEDEL’S THYROIDITIS: POEM
Riedel’s thyroiditis is chronic and rare
Structures adjacent also, it does not spare.

Contracted is the gland and hard as stone
With compressive symptoms, patient does morn.

On females between 40-70 it picks
Carcinoma of thyroid it mimics.

Multifocal fibrosclerosis of reason unknown
To fibrosis, widespread the patient is prone.

Fibrocollagenous tissue is dominant
And thyroid parenchyma is not prominent.

Congestion & mucosal regeneration noted have been

Dysplasia to Neoplasia-spectrum entire is seen.

ULCERATIVE COLITIS

Narang S
Professor

Department of Pathology, Index Medical College Hospital and Research Center, Indore, M P, India
ULCERATIVE COLITIS: POEM
Begins in the rectum and backwards it goes

No mercy to any part of colon it shows.

Continuous it is, skip areas without

Ulcerative colitis it is, without a doubt.

Mucosa has ulcers, you should know

Linearity & superficiality they show.

 

Muscle contracted & narrow, problem does pose

Provides it, the appearance of a garden hose.

 

Sometimes it waxes and sometimes wanes

Accordingly active or resolving status it gains.

 

Crypt abscesses are always produced

And goblet cells are markedly reduced.

 

Congestion & mucosal regeneration noted have been

Dysplasia to Neoplasia-spectrum entire is seen.
