Anencephaly is the absence of a major portion of the brain, skull, and scalp that occurs during embryonic development. It is a cephalic disorder that results from a neural tube defect that occurs when the rostral (head) end of the neural tube fails to close, usually between the 23rd and 26th day following conception.

Zaporozhye front. A soldier, moving in an armored car, ran into a mine. On x-ray, a foreign body of metallic density in the chest is determined.
A military surgeon competently removed a foreign body from the chest of a Russian soldier. It turned out to be a frame from the seat. The fighter was treated, recovered and has already returned to duty

Here's some gross shit they took out of my friends head.
My friend went to the dermatologist to get these bumps on his head removed, and the doctor removed three grayish-looking, firm sacks.
Usually you can just pop these like a pimple, but cysts are usually much deeper in the skin, and have a higher chance of returning compared to regular acne. If you don't remove the smooth sac that contains the irritation, then they just come back to cause you more pain. Your best bet is to get professional medical care and get these little bastards removed by a doctor.
Anyways. Here's some educational shit about cysts.
General information: Pilar cysts, sometimes referred to as trichilemmal cysts or wens, are common growths that form from hair follicles; they are most often found on the scalp. Pilar cysts are smooth and mobile, meaning they can be moved slightly under the skin. They are filled with keratin (a protein component found in hair, nails, and skin). They are usually painless but can be tender. There may be one or a few pilar cysts. Very rarely, pilar cysts can become cancerous, but a biopsy is usually preformed to test for any possible cancerous cells.
Treatment: Basically you're given a local anesthesia (usually injected around the site) and the doctor will cut around or over the cysts. This is the best way to get rid of any discomforting bumps. You are given stitches if the cyst size is big enough, otherwise you are usually just bandaged up and sent home. Another form or treatment is oral antibiotics, but this is usually done when the cyst(s) have became infected. Or a warm towel over the cyst to shrink the size down.
At risk: Most commonly affects 5%-10% of the population with hereditary genetic ls being the most common cause in middle-aged women.
Symptoms: Pilar cysts are usually found on the scalp. They appear as smooth, movable, skin-colored nodules (solid, raised bumps that are firm to the touch) under the skin. There can be more than one in an area, and they can become quite large. Occasionally, they are tender to the touch. Pilar cysts may rupture on their own or if injured, usually causing intense irritation.

Patient is 58 years old, had a cesarean birth many years ago, and had HPV. The first photo shows the uterus and fallopian tubes after a radical hysterectomy/bilateral salpingo oopherectomy. Stage II means the cancer has spread in the immediate vicinity, and you can see the vaginal involvement as well as the tumor on the cervix. Radical hysterectomies are performed on people with cervical cancer or endometrial cancer that has spread to the cervix. A radical hysterectomy removes the uterus, cervix, top part of the vagina, ovaries, fallopian tubes, lymph nodes, lymph channels, and tissue in the pelvic cavity that surrounds the cervix.
