OBJECTIVE This article describes a patient who developed severe subcutaneous emphysema and a persistent air leak after several attempts at needle thoracostomy for what was thought to be a tension pneumothorax. Subcutaneous emphysema was effectively treated with a topical negative pressure wound therapy dressing applied to a typical subfacial "blowhole" incision. This article aims to describe an...

Subcutaneous emphysema is the presence of gas or air in the subcutaneous tissue plane. The term is generally used to describe any soft tissue emphysema of the body wall or limbs, it can result from benign causes, most commonly secondary to trauma or from a life-threatening infection by gas gangrene or necrotising fasciitis. A case of subcutaneous emphysema involving the upper limb resulting fro...

Lipid contents and compositions were measured in 35 pigs from seven genotype-sex groups with large variations in body composition. The animals were slaughtered at 115kg live weight, and the left side was separated into four primal cuts: belly, ham, loin, and shoulder. Samples of adipose tissues were taken from flare fat and from subcutaneous and intermuscular adipose tissues in each of the four...

Three case reports describing the clinicopathological diagnosis and surgical management of subcutaneous lipomas in adult exotic and Nigerian indigenous chicken, as well as deep lipoma in exotic chickens are here presented. Two dead and one live chickens were presented to the Poultry Clinic, Veterinary Teaching Hospital, Ahmadu Bello University, Zaria, Nigeria, on the 15th October, 2016 and 13th...

Introduction Subcutaneous and mediastinal emphysema is a rare complication after tonsillectomy. This case presentation and literature review summarizes the existing literature on this unusual complication. Materials and Methods This study presents a case of a 21-year-old man who developed a cervical subcutaneous emphysema 6 days after tonsillectomy, whereby conservative treatment produced spo...

The modern reader and author need to be aware of possible ambiguities and misunderstandings stemming from different meanings of the word "fascia" because the general meaning of the term can be so vague as to imply little more than some form of connective tissue. "Fascia" encompasses both loose and dense, superficial and deep, and multiple- and single-layered connective tissues. To foster commun...

Development of incisional hernia (IH) is multifactorial but inflammation and abdominal wall ECM (extracellular matrix) disorganization are key pathological events. We investigated if the differential expression fibroblast biomarkers reflects cellular milieu dysregulated in IH tissues. Expression biomarkers, including connective tissue growth factor, alpha-smooth muscle actin (?-SMA), CD34 (clus...

Epidermal” and “Dermal” electrical potential measurements were performed at 3 acupuncture points of the Heart Constrictor and the Triple Heater meridians and 2 acupuncture points of the Lung meridian. Data analysis of these measurements in terms of electrical potential gradient and direction of current flow revealed the results consistent with those obtained from earlier experimental studies as...

However, in human body animation, joint models are often poor simplifications of real joints. They are usually based on classical works in Robotics, where joints are rather idealized and not conceived to deal with many important biological issues. It is not crucial for Animation because the details of joint motion have little influence on global motion, and other animation techniques are able t...
