Tropical myositis: an underdiagnosed entity?
Tropical myositis is a condition characterised by the presence of suppurative lesions within skeletal muscles. There has been little agreement regarding the terminology various names used include purulent tropical myositis, tropical pyornyositis, tropical skeletal muscle abscess, spontaneous bacterial myositis or epidemic abscess. The earliest anecdotal reports of patients presenting both skele...
متن کاملTropical pyomyositis (myositis tropicans): current perspective.
Tropical pyomyositis, a disease often seen in tropical countries, is characterised by suppuration within skeletal muscles, manifesting as single or multiple abscesses. The most common organism implicated is Staphylococcus aureus. In 20%-50% of cases there is a history of trauma to the affected muscles. Commonly involved muscles are quadriceps, glutei, pectoralis major, serratus anterior, biceps...
متن کاملUltrastructural studies on mitochondrial swelling.
Mitochondrial swelling induced by valinomycin, calcium chloride and P(i) was studied after potassium permanganate fixation in suspension. Valinomycin induces a rapid K(+) influx, increase of the matrix space and out-folding of the cristae, with good preservation of the matrix material. This swelling is reversible but the cristae do not completely re-form and have a blebbed appearance. On repeat...
متن کاملUltrastructural Studies on Human Myeloma Plasmacytes1
Myeloma plasmacytes were studied in six untreated pa tients to obtain more information on the nuclear ultrastruc tural abnormalities in these cells. Asynchrony of nucleolar, nuclear, and cytoplasmic maturation was frequently ob served in pleomorphic myeloma plasmacytes. Immature and mature myeloma plasmacytes of two patients contained intranuclear rodlets which consisted of fine filaments ar ra...
متن کاملUltrastructural Studies of Beef Heart Mitochondria
The relationships between membranes and intramembrane compartments of isolated heart mitochondria are inadequately defined to express the induced morphological changes associated with the structural organization. The inner membrane and matrix are the major structural entities which undergo transformation upon alteration of metabolism or incubation conditions. To better express these morphologic...
