      Lenses

      A lens is a custom view of Connexions content. You can think of it as a fancy kind of list that will let you see Connexions through the eyes of organizations and people you trust.

      What is in a lens?

      Lens makers point to Connexions materials (modules and collections), creating a guide that includes their own comments and descriptive tags about the content.

      Who can create a lens?

      Any individual Connexions member, a community, or a respected organization.

1. Keratosis palmaris et plantaris

A heredofamilial ectodermal defect transmitted as a mendelian dominant, affecting all races, and appearing in both sexes with about equal frequency. Hyperkeratosis of the palms and soles characterize this disorder, but involvement of the gums and tongue—especially to the extent exhibited by this patient—has not been described heretofore. Moreover, the degree of keratosis of his feet (image below) is remarkable, perhaps unique.
