Saliva Revival

Distinct subsets of cells of the immune system called macrophages in the salivary gland are differently-affected by radiation therapy for head and neck cancers – targeting specific macrophage populations holds promise for repair of chronic dry mouth caused by radiation injury

I think it's funny how many body parts have a "make rocks" malfunction.

i really think that some doctors need to be mauled by wild animals what do you MEAN didnt believe theres glands under your tongue!!! how many millions of years ago did he go to medical school!!! im so mad for you right now

i think some doctors just get like disillusioned or whatever but its NO excuse for them to not know that there are salivary glands under the tongue or other very normal things to know. and then be v rude and dismissive about very normal concerns. but maybe the doctor did know what was going on and just wanted me out of the clinic asap.

but also ive had to point out like rlly normal anatomical things to doctors lately im wondering if walk in clinics are just hiring randos off indeed at this point LMAO

#i joke but i mean they might as well be :') #dude wasnt even old he had to be like MAYBE 40. he was just. IDK . doctors r confusing i dont understand their logic #i still cant believe he thought salivary glands were ONLY in the cheeks #whatd be think was under the tongue? #he pointed to a picture of a ranula (very OBVIOUSLY not what i have bc i have sharp hard rock in my gland and a ranula is like- #-saliva filled sac beneath the floor of ur mouth that becomes super big.) and he asked if thats what i have #i pointed to the small rock. then to the picture. and said that they were different. it was a salivary stone #he didnt believe me??? #like im not claiming to have severe disease i just want this thing to be removed . it takes like 30 seconds . #but doctors here refuse to do work. even if the work involves doing 5 seconds of paperwork to send me to a specialist. #iim so sorry for ranting BFNSSHSHS its just like... so frustrating..! im sure doctors in the US are the same as well #everyones disillusioned with their careers now capitalism evil etc but jfc doctors shuold Still care for ppl or QUIT if they rlly cant omg

so i was proctoring an exam this morning for the class i'm TAing, & for course timing reasons the instructors want us to have the exam grading done by tomorrow which is really irritating but can be made workable & i had planned for it

except

i proctor the extended time & low-distractions exam section, which happens in a different building than the other exam proctoring due to sufficiently-large-and-quiet classroom availability

and an hour into the exam, the building we were in had its second hazardous chemical spill evacuation in two days

meaning i was now in charge of a group of students who had abandoned their exams and reference materials in the now locked and possibly hazardous classroom, which would be inaccessible for an unknown amount of time (yesterday's spill took ~4 hours to resolve and reopen the building), but who all have other classes after this one, many immediately after, and still somehow needed to take an hour and fifteen minutes' worth of exam with as few disruptions as possible given the circumstances

i got the other TAs to step out of proctoring to help me book another room (in the building where i work, all the way across campus) and get them all set up with new exams and printed references (not really adequate since they couldn't review and elaborate on their earlier answers) and the original building reopened after like 40 minutes, which given how long it took to set everything up was not that long after they restarted with the new exams, so fortunately i could go sprint back across campus to bring them their partially complete exams. and then arrange to proctor additional later time for the 3 who had absolute hard stops before they would get their full exam time, and of course the three of them had incompatible schedules so each one needed separate proctoring, and the other TAs offered to help but still needed me to set them up in the room and help get the students building access because last-minute exam-compatible rooms are a nontrivial thing to find. so anyway i did all that and also regular proctoring shit like answering all the student questions and such and of course tracking the timing of each event so i could make sure no one got shortchanged on exam time since that was the whole point of them being in that group in the first place. and now i still have to get at least 80% of my grading done before i sleep. and i'm so tired

also the room we found for the second half of the original exam was directly next to the office of a faculty member who brings a teenage australian shepherd puppy to work every day. so i had to dispatch one of my co-TAs to go pet the dog so his barking would not render our exam setup ADA noncompliant.

#last minute logistics wrangling is DISPROPORTIONATELY TIRING. #i am TIRED. i don't WANT to grade this question about drosophila salivary glands. drosophila salivary glands are OVERRATED #'oooh my polytene chromosomes have such distinctively informative bands' shut up. #box opener

grilled cheese and hard cider is such a godly combination. I'm going to start referring to it as nectar and ambrosia

#sometimes when i drink things with a low abv like beer and cider it makes my salivary glands hurt a lot tho. which sucks

Stupid drosophila larvae just ruining my life left anf right

#g's random musings #the fact that this shit isnt happening is just making my anxiety worse #cant even isolate a mf salivary gland #how the fuck am i gonna do research in bio

Went to the dentist for the first time in 10ish years, she told me how I have 0 cavities and absolutely beautiful teeth (I know). I was planning on getting my cyst removed tomorrow, because that’s when the oral surgeon is in. IT POPPED TONIGHT WHILE I WAS EATING PEANUT BUTTER AND CHOCOLATE.

#my cyst is called a ranula #and it’s basically the salivary gland gets trauma and fills with mucous #and the dentist told me she was in awe with mine #she’s never seen one nearly as big and said she hoped that she’d be free when I had my appointment so she would be able to see the surgeon #drain it #so guess how much mucous was just in my mouth #and guess how big of a hole I have in my mouth now? #I’m still going to the appointment to make sure everything’s cleared out and I don’t need sutures but I’m so relieved #the amount of pressure I had #it went into my throat and neck and into my cheeks and ears that’s how bad it was #i feel like a new person

No you see I’m technically a fan of 500k The Grand Unified Theory of Shen Qingqiu by 00janeblonde instead of mxtx’s scum villain as on my 4th reread it has overridden the original in my brain and when i insert query “svsss” in my brain that is the only thing that comes up in the search results 

#so slow burn it's basically gen and world-building which means my ace little brain grew salivary glands just to salivate over it #svsss #fic rec #a lot on how the peaks work #unwinding sqqs teaching process and his role as a mentor scholar and artist #as well as building on the relationships between all the peak lords #good reading for a rainy night when you have much time to spare + capacity for a lot of slice of life with a side of plot

Sorry to my job and every single responsibility in my life but my mouth hurts and everything is on pause until my mouth stops hurting

#I have another salivary gland stone #it feels like a tennis ball of knives is under my tongue #I spent most of today finding an appointment and now I just have to make it one more day of agony #I am at any given moment ten seconds away from a full blown toddler meltdown
