Herein, a 28-year-old man with hoarseness, skin and oral lesions is presented. At the time of admission, the patient had an erythematous plaque on his chin near his lower lip and an erythematous-violaceous plaque on his palate near the opening of the pharynx and 20 kg weight lost in last one year. The biopsy of his skin lesions by hematoxylin and eosin staining revealed an infiltration of the d...

RATIONALE Abdominal cocoon and peritoneal loose body are both rare abdominal diseases. PATIENT CONCERNS The patient reported in this case was a 47-year-old man who suffered from abdominal pain and distension for 3 days. DIAGNOSIS X-ray, computed tomography, and magnetic resonance imaging revealed multiple peritoneal loose body and small bowel obstruction, characterized by a total encapsulat...

BACKGROUND: Difficulty of reconstruction of the eyelids arises from the need to reconstruct different supporting and covering structures in a single operation. Defects in the anterior lamella of the eyelids can be readily repaired with skin grafts or flaps but posterior lamellar reconstruction needs more complex applications. METHODS: We performed posterior lamellar eyelid reconstruction with p...

The changes of intracutaneous pressure in the limbs of mice and human beings have been followed during and after periods of venous obstruction with almost unhindered arterial flow. During the first 30 minutes of obstruction the interstitial pressure in the tense skin of the lower legs of mice, a pressure which is slightly higher than that in the loose skin of the ears, backs, and thighs (21), r...

Efforts to prevent worms include maintaining good body hygiene, environmental and clean food drink, wearing footwear, defecating in the toilet, personal hygiene such as cutting nails washing hands before eating. The skin is place where germs enter body, loose soil (sand, humus) for growth of worm larvae. Cleaning long dirty fingernails causes accumulation dirt disease germs. Clean snacks are pa...

INTRODUCTION A peritoneal loose body is a rare finding and is sometimes founded incidentally during laparotomy or autopsy. A giant peritoneal loose body, measuring more than 50mm, is very rare, and only a few cases of laparoscopic extraction of these giant bodies have been reported in the literature. PRESENTATION OF CASE A 70-year-old man presented for evaluation of urinary frequency. He had ...

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to demonstrate loose silk seton actually acts as a slow cutting seton contrary to the idea of simply drainage. Besides, to show the effect of loose seton on patient’s incontinence is mostly proportional to the degree of division of the sphincter muscle. Design: Fifty patients with high transsphincteric fistulas were treated with loose seton technique. We m...

We have determined the mass function of loose groups of galaxies in the Las Campanas Redshift Survey. Loose groups of galaxies in the LCRS range in mass from M ∼ 10 12 M ⊙ to 10 15 M ⊙. We find that the sample is complete for masses in the interval 8 · 10 13 − 8 · 10 14 M ⊙. In this interval the mass function of LCRS loose groups is close to that found by Girardi et al. (1998). Comparison of th...

Data fragmentation has been proposed as a solution for protecting the confidentiality of sensitive associations when publishing data at external servers. To enrich the utility of the published fragments, a recent approach has put forward the idea of complementing them with loose associations, a sanitized form of the sensitive associations broken by fragmentation. The original proposal considers...
