Diffuse Symmetrical Sclerodermia

Sclerodermia, Diffuse

Diffuse sclerodermia is a very rare condition. Dr Phineas Abraham, the writer of the article on " Sclerodermia/' in Allbutt and Rolleston's System oj Medicine, in speaking of diffuse sclero' dermia, states that M'Call Anderson had 2 cases in 11,000 disease of the skin, and Crocker 2 in 10,000 cases. In 17,000 general medical cases seen in my hospital practice (8502 in-patients, 863^ out-patient...

Crohn's disease and diffuse symmetrical periostitis.

Although in many textbooks (Lipman and Massie, 1960; MacBryde, 1965; Shulman, 1966) Crohn's disease is listed among the causes of hypertrophic osteoarthropathy an extensive search of the literature has failed to reveal an adequately documented case. We report here a 17-year-old boy who has diffuse Crohn's disease of the small and large intestine associated with marked periosteal new bone format...

Symmetrical Gangrene

Symmetrical gangrene is a condition in which gangrene occurs in all four limbs, the nose and ears at the same time. This is a rare condition and only very few cases have been recorded. A number of conditions can cause symmetrical gangrene. These areas, i.e. the limbs, the ears and the nose, represent the outposts of the cardiovascular system. When the body needs to conserve, it conserves at the...

Synthesis of symmetrical and non-symmetrical diimines from dimedone.

Symmetrical and non-symmetrical diimines derived from dimedone were synthesized by the reaction of their corresponding enaminothiones with primary amines. The synthesized compounds were characterized using micro analytical data and NMR spectroscopy. Theoretical calculations by B3LYP/6-31G(d,p) level of theory show that the enolic form is the most stable within the possible tautomeric forms of t...
