Subcutaneous fat necrosis of the newborn (SCFNN) is a rare benign inflammatory disorder of the adipose tissue but may be complicated by hypercalcemia or less frequently, hypocalcemia, resulting in morbidity and mortality. Here we report the case of a neonate with subcutaneous fat necrosis who
A 59-year-old man presented with painful subcutaneous nodules on the anterior surfaces of the legs. He had received oral antibiotics and supportive care for presumed cellulitis and thrombophlebitis, but had minimal improvement. Five months earlier, he had undergone pancreaticoduodenectomy for acinar
The purpose of this study was to describe the anemia of inflammatory disease (AID) in cats with naturally-occurring inflammatory diseases, such as abscesses (n = 12), pyothorax (n = 6), and fat necrosis (n = 3). Exclusion criteria were positive FeLV/FIV tests, neoplasia, nephro-, hepato- or
Serum concentrations of free fatty acids (FFA) were assayed in 20 patients with acute necrotizing pancreatitis (ANP). Pancreatic and peripancreatic fat necrosis was verified on operation and/or by contrast-enhanced computed tomography. For comparison, 20 patients with acute edematous pancreatitis
The multisystem involvement in acute pancreatitis (AP) is a reflection of the pancreatic gland's capacity to produce a number of potent vasoactive peptides, hormones, and enzymes. The various prognostic criteria are early evaluations of these metabolic derangements. The pathogenesis of hypocalcemia,
Fat necrosis and arthritis occur in some individuals with pancreatitis. The intraarticular free fatty acid concentration was found to be markedly elevated in 2 patients with this pancreatitic arthritis syndrome. Injection of free fatty acids into rabbit knees reproduced the inflammatory synovial
A closed duodenal loop was created by the obstruction of the duodenum on either side of the common bile duct. Acute haemorrhagic pancreatitis developed within 24 h with interlobular oedema, marked acinar cell necrosis, intra-abdominal fat necrosis and ascites. Plasma amylase activity was greatly
Lipolytic enzymes may play a role in the pathogenesis of acute pancreatitis. Therefore, the effects of a lipase inhibitor, THL (tetrahydrolipstatin), a protease inhibitor, FUT (nafamostat mesilate), and albumin under different conditions in rats were investigated. (a) Isolated pancreatic acini were
Proteolytic enzymes, lipase, kinins, and other active peptides liberated from the inflamed pancreas convert inflammation of the pancreas, a single-organ disease of the retroperitoneum, to a multisystem disease. Adult respiratory distress syndrome, in addition to being secondary to microvascular
BACKGROUND
Optimal surgical outcomes are dependent on an appreciation of comorbid conditions that may handicap results. The purpose of this retrospective analysis was to delineate risk factors for complications after autologous breast reconstruction.
METHODS
An institutional database was constructed
