Acute monoarthritis associated with lipid liquid crystals.
We describe three women with unexplained acute monoarthritis and birefringent lipid spherules or lipid liquid crystals in their synovial fluid. Synovial fluid aspirated within 24 hours of onset showed leucocyte counts ranging from 10 X 10(9) to 46 X 10(9)/1 with 91-95% polymorphonuclear cells. Numerous positively birefringent 2-6 micron microspherules were seen inside and outside polymorphonucl...
متن کاملEdible liquid marbles and capsules covered with lipid crystals.
Liquid marbles are water droplets covered with solid particles. Here we show a method for the preparation of edible liquid marbles and capsules covered with fatty acid crystals and triacylglycerol crystals. We prepared liquid marbles using a simple method; namely, a water droplet was rolled on lipid crystals in petri dishes. The resulting marbles were converted to capsules covered with a lipid ...
متن کاملAcute Monoarthritis: Diagnosis in Adults.
Acute monoarthritis can be the initial manifestation of many joint disorders. The most common diagnoses in the primary care setting are osteoarthritis, gout, and trauma. It is important to understand the prevalence of specific etiologies and to use the appropriate diagnostic modalities. A delay in diagnosis and treatment, particularly in septic arthritis, can have catastrophic results including...
متن کاملTopology with Liquid Crystals
With lasers or electron beams, it is now possible to mold a variety of soft and hard materials into different shapes with new properties and functionalities. These techniques also provide some of the few ways to generate topological shapes from mathematics, like knots and vortices, in a real-world system. In Physical Review Letters, Bryan Gin-ge Chen of the University of Pennsylvania (now at Le...
متن کاملParabolic focal conics and polygonal textures in lipid liquid crystals
2014 Polygonal defect arrays in lipid liquid crystals prepared from dipalmitoyl-, dimyristoyl-, and dilaurylphosphatidylcholine with various concentrations of water have been observed and characterized using optical microscopy. These arrays appear similar to the polygonal arrays previously observed in thermotropic smectic and cholesteric liquid crystals. The parabolic focal conic model proposed...
