BACKGROUND
The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of local arnica and mucopolysaccharide polysulfate treatment on the regression of postoperative edema and ecchymosis in patients who have undergone open technique rhinoplasty.
METHODS
One hundred eight patients were included in the
The acid mucopolysaccharides of brain tissues are disclosed by their metachromatic staining with toluidine blue following saponification with potassium hydroxide, presumably as a result of the liberation of acid groups previously esterified. Earlier histochemical studies had disclosed the presence
The concept of the presence of mucopolysaccharides forming an interstitial ground substance in central nervous tissues is revived. The biochemical reports of both neutral and acid mucopolysaccharides in both gray and white matter of the normal brain are reviewed. The earlier histochemical reports
BACKGROUND
There are several types of dressings which may be utilized after facial laser resurfacing. Laser surgeons favoring the open type of dressing have used the Aquaphor original formula to reduce the loss of moisture from laser resurfaced skin. The objective of this study was to compare the
The presence of a ground substance in brain provides a mechanism by which edema localized to one region of the white matter might occur without spreading diffusely into the adjacent tissues. The most common such localization is the sparing of the arcuate white matter when the deeper white matter is
This study reports a case of type VII mucopolysaccharidosis (beta-glucuronidase deficiency) presenting as lethal hydrops fetalis. Skin fibroblast cultures established postmortem revealed deficient beta-glucuronidase activity. Mucopolysaccharides were stored in various cells of the brain, heart,
BACKGROUND
Dominantly inherited cystoid macular edema was described as a clinically distinct form of macular dystrophy with an onset at approximately age 30 years with slow progression over the ensuing decades. This is the first report of the light and electron microscopic findings in two donor eyes
BACKGROUND
At least 20 inborn errors of metabolism may cause hydrops fetalis. Most of these are lysosomal storage diseases. The study proposes a diagnostic flowchart for prenatal diagnosis of non-immune hydrops fetalis.
METHODS
This study contains a series of 75 non-immune hydrops fetalis
Three cases of palpebral edema associated with Graves' disease are described. These patients had unilateral edema and minimal erythema of the upper eyelid. Notable was that, histologically, dermal edema and dilation of lymphatic vessels were observed, but deposition of mucopolysaccharides was not.
Results with a diffusor enzyme (thiomucasi) in the medical management of oedema in 29 subjects are presented. This substance was used on the assumption that interstitial mucopolysaccharides trap water by means of a polymerisation-depolymerisation process, so that its release necessitates rupture of
In the systemic mucopolysaccharidoses (MPS) in animals, corneal clouding resulted from storage of glycosaminoglycans (GAG) in stromal keratocytes. The corneal epithelium was normal (MPS VI and VII) or minimally affected (MPS I), and stromal edema was not a feature even though the corneal endothelium
