High Intensity Focused Ultrasound ablation therapy for fibroids and adenomyoma has been increasingly applied in Gynecology. It is now considered a safe surgery with effectiveness compatible to open or laparoscopic myomectomy. However, further minimize its potential risks of skin burn the buttocks nerve injury, this paper studied temperature changes as monitored by infrared thermography an attem...

Skin necrosis is a rare complication of warfarin therapy that occurs between the third and 10th days of treatment. The pathogenesis of warfarin-induced skin necrosis is attributable to the emergence of a transient hypercoagulable state. The condition most commonly involves skin areas with abundant subcutaneous adipose tissue such as the breasts, buttocks, abdomen, thighs, and the extremities. W...

Massive weight loss (MWL) patients have unique and severe gluteal deformities that demand alternative body contouring solutions because they are rarely candidates for gluteal implants. Techniques for autologous gluteal augmentation (AGA) with circumferential body lift (CBL) are offered as a solution to this problem. Experience with these techniques will allow surgeons to extend AGA to other aes...

HIV-associated lipodystrophy includes both clinical as well as metabolic alterations. The most prominent clinical sign is a loss of subcutaneous fat (lipoatrophy) in the face (periorbital, temporal), limbs and buttocks. Peripheral fat loss can be accompanied by an accumulation of visceral fat. Truncal fat increases initially after therapy and then remains stable resulting in relative central ad...

Sir, Erythrokeratodermia variabilis (EKV) is a rare autosomal dominant genodermatosis which is characterized by the coexistence of hyperkeratotic plaques and transient erythematous patches. Irregular, variably shaped erythematous macular patches may enlarge or regress over time. Concurrently, there are persistent, well-demarcated, geographic, hyperkeratotic plaques which are distributed on the ...

Liposarcomas constitute approximately 15% of all sarcomas among the mesenchymal neoplasms. They usually arise in the lower extremities or in the retroperitoneum but have been reported in sites such as abdomen, vulva and buttocks. Primary mediastinal liposarcomas are rare with less than 100 cases reported worldwide so far. We present an interesting case of primary myxoid LPS of the posterior med...

BACKGROUND Regardless of diet and exercise, genetics plays an important part in creating puckering skin or dimples, which are difficult to hide at any age. The demand for a nonsurgical, noninvasive treatment of cellulite has inspired some manufacturers to invest in a new age of sophisticated devices and treatment therapies to repair the skin and improve contours. Although many of these new choi...

Fifty seven children with dermatitis herpetiformis, 18 from Finland and 39 from Hungary, were studied. Diagnostic criteria included the finding of granular IgA deposits in the skin of all patients. The mean age at onset of the rash was 7-2 years and favoured sites were the elbows, knees, and buttocks. Symptoms suggesting small intestinal disease were rare but in 35 (61%) of the children subtota...

Prurigo is a condition of nodular cutaneous lesions that itch intensely. Prurigo lesions are divided into acute, subacute and chronic forms that itch intensely. Subacute prurigo (SP) clinically presents as excoriated papules mostly in a symmetrical distribution on the extensor surfaces of the extremities, neck, lower trunk, and buttocks. It tends to occur in middle-aged patients, especially in ...
