A heloma durum is a small “pebble-like” callus that causes deep tissue damage. It is not as widespread as a normal callus but is actually shaped like a corn kernel, hence the nickname “corn.” It is generally caused by abnormal pressure areas such as the 5th toe, the bottom of the big toe, and the base of the 2nd toe.

Symptom of underlying bony or biomechanical pathology – often resistance provided by footwear or supporting surface or interdigital. Appears as a circumscribed yellow hardened mass. Most are conical in shape. Removal of overlying hyperkeratosis shows the darker coloured nucleus.

Durum flour is flour created from the endosperm of durum wheat, which is a specific variant of wheat that is not the same as common whole wheat. Durum flour contains a lot of gluten, which is why durum flour is best used for recipes like bread loaves, pizza crust, and pasta.

It is the predominant wheat that grows in the Middle East. Durum in Latin means 'hard', and the species is the hardest of all wheats. This refers to the resistance of the grain to milling, in particular of the starchy endosperm, causing dough made from its flour to be weak or "soft".
