Parry-Romberg syndrome is a rare disorder characterized by slowly progressive deterioration of the skin and soft tissues of half of the face.

The syndrome presents with characteristic skeletal, dental, and soft tissue changes in the affected half of the face, with or without neurological signs and symptoms.

The clinical presentation of SCAD depends on the extent and severity of progression of dissection and may present as unstable angina, acute myocardial infarction, ventricular arrhythmias or asymptom. Treatment of SCAD usually includes percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI), bypass graft surgery or medical therapy depending on the range of dissection. 

Treatment of SCAD usually includes percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI), bypass graft surgery or medical therapy depending on the range of dissection. Herein, we report a 70 years-old male diagnosed with dissection in the left anterior descending artery by coronary arteriography. 

Hereditary Spherocytosis and Venous Thrombosis of Atypical Site: A Triple Hematologic Disease?

Hereditary spherocytosis is part of a group of disorders of the erythrocyte membrane such as hereditary stomatocytosis, eliptocytosis and ovalocytosis which mainly manifest as a regenerative hemolytic anemia. Its etiology comes from genetic alterations of membrane and structural proteins which disturb the erythrocyte cohesion and stability. 

We perform the generation of NETs in autologous leukocytes cultures, stimulated with lipopolysaccharide (LPS) or ovalbumin (OVA). We marked of B7-1(CD80) and B7-2(CD86) costimulatory molecules. In LPS and OVA assays CD80 was found colocalized with CD86 in the released NETs at 30 min.

Neutrophil extracellular traps (NETs) have been proposed as vehicles for the sensitization of T cells by decreasing their activation threshold. Polymorphonuclear neutrophils (PMNs) activated in vitro may express molecules normally associated with antigen presenting cells (APCs). 

A case report of a 72-year-old female patient presenting with right-sided abdominal pain and back pain, on which initial abdominal ultrasound revealed a hepatic mass. With the aid of subsequent CT imaging and biopsy, a leiomyosarcoma of the inferior vena cava was found. 

With the aid of subsequent CT imaging and biopsy, a leiomyosarcoma of the inferior vena cava was found. Palliative chemo-radiotherapy was offered to the patient. The literature on leiomyosarcoma, its presentation in the inferior vena cava and the use of diagnostic imaging has been discussed. 

Obesity is a global program that is increasing worldwide and associates with high morbidity and mortality. Increase left ventricular mass is a target organ damage that is related to increase in blood pressure. 

Some evidence suggests that obesity is an independent risk factor for the development of increase left ventricular mass. 

The diagnosis of these injuries at the latter sites is straightforward.

Closed Traumatic Avulsion of Extensor Digitorium Communis and Extensor Indicis Proprius of Index Finger at the Musculotendinous Junction

The patient also complained of slowly increasing abdominal distension and mild abdominal discomfort since past four months.
