Get PDFThis paper aims to understand the struggles and joys of individuals who have dyslexia. Situated in sociological theory, I contend that dyslexia is biological by nature, but socially constructed as a learning disability. This social construction is culturally shaped and bound by values of nonverbal communication which, consequently, is the area in which dyslexics struggle the most. Using a content analysis style of collecting data, I read hundreds of blog posts aiming to understand the experience of dyslexic individuals living in the United States. This article delves into themes of education, upbringing, and individual perceptions of self. I also explore how an accurate diagnosis of dyslexia can improve learning, which often helps promote positive self-esteem. This study explores how to find the gifts of dyslexia to redefine genius for individuals in Western societies
A 10-month-old infant with respiratory distress and hypoxemia

Subsequent investigations including chest CT suggested the diagnosis to be neuroendocrine cell hyperplasia of infancy (NEHI). NEHI is a rare cause of children‘s interstitial lung disease. Childhood interstitial lung disease should be considered in an infant with persistent tachypnea, crepitations, and hypoxemia
A medical student‘s guide to the slit lamp examination
No full textThe slit lamp is an essential tool for the diagnosis of common eye pathology. Despite many eye conditions presenting initially to primary care, medical students do not typically receive formal training with the slit lamp in standard medical education curriculum. This guide provides a consistent, systematic framework that may be used by students and clinicians when approaching a slit lamp examination. Additionally, suggestions intended to optimize examination outcomes are described. It is our hope that this guide serves to enhance medical student comfort and proficiency with eye examinations, be it in an ophthalmology clinic, primary care, or emergency department setting
