Achard syndrome
Achard syndrome is a syndrome consisting of arachnodactyly, receding lower jaw, and joint laxity limited to the hands and feet.[1] Hypermobility and subluxations of the joints, increased lateral excursion of the patellas and other findings reflect the increased ligament laxity. It is clinically similar to Marfan syndrome.[2]

Diagnosis
Treatment
gollark: Okay, I just managed to implement displaying of... at least what the server is playing on its stream, browsers apparently do some irritating caching stuff.
gollark: So it's kind of hacky, but I *can* hook up the random stuff API to the osmarks.tk MPD server and have it provide song info.
gollark: I can probably make it work by running some stuff off the random stuff API.
gollark: I really need to work out how to display this automatically.
gollark: The webserver logs or osmarks.tk files are interpreted as PCM audio and played back.
