Paraffinoma confirmed by infrared spectrophotometry.

Magnetic resonance imaging of penile paraffinoma: case report

BACKGROUND Penile paraffinoma is a well-known delayed complication of paraffin oil injection into the penis for penile girth augmentation but its MRI features have not been previously described. CASE PRESENTATION A 35-year-old Ukraine man presented with erectile dysfunction, voiding difficulty and an irregular, hard and painful penile mass that had progressively grown over the last year. He r...

To cite: Majedah S, Hanafiah M, Awang MK. BMJ Case Rep Published online: [please include Day Month Year] doi:10.1136/ bcr-2014-205448 DESCRIPTION We demonstrate the MRI of a penis of a 36-year-old man who presented with a 3-week history of progressive penile swelling and reduced stream of passing urine. He claimed to have undergone penile subcutaneous tissue paraffin injection 4 years prior to ...

Portable Refrigerant Identification by Near Infrared Spectrophotometry

Diffuse lung disease caused by cotton fibre inhalation but distinct from byssinosis.

A 66 year old man had inhaled cotton fibre for 50 years at his workplace. He did not have any respiratory symptoms. Chest CT scans revealed diffuse centrilobular and peribronchovascular interstitial thickening. Lung biopsy specimens confirmed the presence of string-like foreign bodies as well as granulomas and fibrosis in the peribronchial region. Infrared spectrophotometry confirmed that the f...

Design of a Near Infrared Spectrophotometry Brain Imaging System

Measuring brain activity is at task generally left for EEG or fMRI. However, there is a lesser known imaging technique known as near infrared spectrophotometry, in which near infrared light is shown into the patients head to measure changes in oxygenation that directly relate to brain activity. This paper describes a low-cost, wireless, portable near infrared spectrophotometry system that is ab...
