  • Everything You've Ever Wanted to Know About Warts

    There are several different types of warts, but they all come from the same virus: the human papillomavirus, or HPV. However, there are over 150 strains of HPV, some of which are linked to genital warts and cervical cancer. Put another way, all warts are 'cousins' of each other. According to Allure, plantar warts grow on the soles of the feet. Flat warts grow on sun-exposed parts of the body, most often the face and hands. Filiform warts are more alarming because they emerge in clumps on the face and can alarmingly resemble bushes' Warts are treated by freezing with liquid nitrogen, treated topically with salicylic acid, electrically zapped, or removed surgically.

  • Hiding In Plain Sight? Scientists Discover Body Part No One Knew Existed

    The late, great French biologist Louis Pasteur once said, 'Chance favors the prepared mind.' A group of Dutch cancer scientists says they've discovered a pair of salivary glands that absolutely no one had ever noticed before. CNN reports the glands are hidden away in the skull, where the nasal cavity and the throat meet. The cancer researchers first came across the body part during a scan designed to look for tumorous growths. The 'unknown entity' cannot be seen on X-rays, or in ultrasound, MRI scans, or PET scans. Rather, the glands can only be seen in a new, highly advanced type of scan called PSMA PET/CT The scientists, from the Netherlands Cancer Institute, propose naming them 'tubarial glands.'
