This week, we're sharing another USMLE® Step 1-style practice question to test your knowledge of medical topics.

Today's question revolves around a 51-year-old woman coming to the clinic for an assessment of a tongue lesion. She states it is occasionally painful and has impacted her ability to eat.

The patient's history is significant for active IV drug use and homelessness. She was recently hospitalized and treated for Pneumocystis pneumonia six months ago. She takes no medications and has not visited a primary care physician in over ten years.

Vitals are within normal limits. Physical examination reveals a thin woman with temporal wasting and minimal muscle mass. Oral examination reveals a white lesion on the lateral margin of the tongue with “feathery” projections.

The lesion is not easily scraped away with a tongue depressor. There are track marks and scars present in the bilateral antecubital fossa. The rest of the physical examination is noncontributory.

The pathogen implicated in this patient’s tongue lesion is also associated with which of the following diseases?

Happy ! To celebrate, we'll be reviewing anatomy and clinical correlates head to toe all month long. Whether you're a medical student or someone who has a cervix, knowledge of the female reproductive system is vital for everyone to learn – let's dive into the anatomy of the cervix today!

The cervix is one of two main parts of the uterus. It's a narrow cylinder found between the bladder and the re**um that forms the lower third of the uterus.

It has two openings: the internal os, which opens into the uterine cavity; and the external os, which opens into the va**na.

The inner part of the cervix is referred to as the cervical canal. During delivery, the fetus descends through the cervical canal and the va**na, which together form the birth canal.
