Thigh emphysema as a first sign of abdominal disease.
Thigh infection is a rare complication of intra-abdominal sepsis that can present with emphysema. We report a case of infection in the thigh resulting from colonic perforation. A 61-year-old woman with cirrhosis, grade Child B6 and diabetes treated with oral hypoglycemic drugs was referred to the emergency department because of a persistent pain in her left thigh and also for some abdominal dis...
متن کاملThe spirographic "kink". A sign of emphysema.
The significance of the "kink" occurring in the early portion of the forced expiratory spirogram of some patients with obstructed airflow was investigated in 153 patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease or asthma. The kink, which is presumably due to airway collapse, is facilitated by the presence of emphysema, which results in loss of elastic recoil, a positive pleural pressure, hig...

متن کاملThe TERT-CLPTM1L locus for lung cancer predisposes to bronchial obstruction and emphysema.
Clinical studies suggest that bronchial obstruction and emphysema increase susceptibility to lung cancer. We assessed the possibility of a common genetic origin and investigated whether the lung cancer susceptibility locus on chromosome 5p15.33 increases the risk for bronchial obstruction and emphysema. Three variants in the 5p15.33 locus encompassing the TERT and CLPTM1L genes were genotyped i...
