BACKGROUND Infected non-unions of the supracondylar region of the femur are uncommon. Even though hardware removal is a common procedure, it may lead to complications, including neurovascular injury, refracture, worsening pain or recurrence of deformity. CASE PRESENTATION We report on a male who developed subcutaneous emphysema of the leg after hardware removal and bone allografting for an in...

Several transplantaDitmouse and rat tumors were injured in a reproducible manner by implanting a length of cotton thread in their substance. Normal tissues, including liver, spleen, kidney, and subcutaneous connective tissue, were treated similarly. At the end of 1 week tissues containing thread were removed for histologie study. Consistent ly, the inflammatory response to the foreign body with...

OBJECTIVES In the attempt to overcome increasing glycopeptide- and methicillin-resistant soft tissue infections, daptomycin is presently considered as an attractive alternative to the class of glycopeptides. However, daptomycin dosing and its ability to penetrate into inflamed target tissues are still a matter of controversy. Thus, in the present investigation, we set out to evaluate daptomycin...

The presented system for non-contact examination of tissue perfusion is one the tools complex human body tissues (skin, subcutaneous) and their mutual interactions, including blood flow activity under various external stimuli. In our system, optical radiation, with wavelengths 525 nm, 625 940 was used to investigate properties skin tissue. Our work presents that it possible obtain comprehensive...

An analysis has shown that problem during endoprosthetics for external hernias not been completely solved. Among all postoperative such hernias, seroma, infiltration prolonged exudation are most common, less often ligature fistula,...

1. A cotton wick probe has been used to measure the pressure in subcutaneous interstitial tissues of man. 2. The probe was inserted with minimal trauma into a plane of natural dissection at the level of the deep fascia in three sites: dorsum of the hand and foot, and the forearm. 3. The pressure was subatmospheric on every occasion (mean pressure : hand, -3-015SD 0.50 cmH,O; foot, -3.545SD 1-74...

Paracentesis is a common procedure used in the diagnostic evaluation of peritoneal fluid as well as the therapeutic removal of high-volume ascites. Although generally regarded as a safe procedure, complications may arise from arterial injury, including hematomas and pseudoaneurysms. Transcatheter embolization and surgery are first-line interventions for injuries refractory to conservative manag...

Introduction JLS is a chronic, autoimmune disease, characterized by skin and subcutaneous tissues fibrosis, which can extend to underlying tissues up to muscle and bone. JLS can cause a poor quality of life and psychosocial and behavioural problems in affected children particularly when severe deformities such as face asymmetry, joint contractures, and growth disturbances of limbs develop. To d...

OBJECTIVE This study was conducted to determine whether nitric oxide (NO), a potent vasodilator and inhibitor of thrombus formation, is involved in the formation and maintenance of adhesions. METHODS Skin, subcutaneous tissues, peritoneum and adhesions were collected from surgical patients and total RNA was isolated. Quantitative reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (QRT-PCR) was p...
