Background  Buccal fat pad is known as anatomic structure in between the masticatory muscles that separate these muscles from each other and surrounding bone. Ease of access, through the intraoral route makes it suitable choice for obtaining adipose derived stem cells. Methods  Intraoral incisions for getting access to the buccal fat of pad are; Retromolar incision, incision in medial of pt...

abstract fat necrosis secondary to pancreatitis can be either mild and self limited or create severe organ damage, but may rarely lead to abdominal opancreatic pseudotumor. we report a case of fat necrosis secondary to pancreatitis which clinically simulates transverse colon cancer.

BACKGROUND Intrauterine growth retardation due to maternal under-nutrition increases susceptibility to obesity and insulin resistance. We reported earlier in the offspring of mineral or vitamin restricted rat dams, a high body fat percentage and decreased insulin secretion to glucose challenge. This study determined whether or not central adiposity and altered adipocytokine profile were associa...

BACKGROUND Many methods have been proposed for the correction of sunken upper eyelids. These methods include surgical treatments, such as micro-fat, dermofat, or fascia-fat grafts, or the use of alloplastic materials. Here, we present our experience of sunken upper eyelid correction involving the simple addition of anchoring the central fat pad to the medial fat pad during upper blepharoplasty....

Accurate and precise techniques that identify the quantity and distribution of adipose tissue in vivo are critical for investigations of adipose development, obesity, or diabetes. Here, we tested whether in vivo micro-computed tomography (microCT) can be used to provide information on the distribution of total, subcutaneous and visceral fat volume in the mouse. Ninety C57BL/6J mice (weight rang...

Hoffa's syndrome involves inflammation of the infrapatellar fat pad secondary to direct trauma or microtrauma. Alternative sources of inflammation of Hoffa's fat pad include synovial processes such as pigmented villonodular synovitis (PVNS) and osteochondromatosis. Recently, a few cases of inflammation of Hoffa's fat pad secondary to human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) have been described. Our c...
