Ocular involvement in scleroderma.
Thirty-eight patients with scleroderma (progressive systemic sclerosis) without renal failure were subjected to detailed clinical ophthalmic assessment. Abnormalities were frequent. However, many of these, including lens opacities, vitreous frosting, and arteriosclerotic changes, were considered to be age-related, and there were various incidental changes. Posterior subcapsular lens opacities i...
متن کاملCharacterization of Torsional Stiffness in Harmonic Drive
Primarily for aerospace applications, harmonic drives (HD’s) are high-ratio, compact torque transmission systems. This mechanical transmission employs a continuous deflection wave along a non-rigid gear, the socalled ‘flexspline’, to allow gradual engagement of gear teeth. A harmonic drive also contains a wave-generator (a ball-bearing assembly with a rigid elliptical inner-race) and a circular...
متن کاملMyocardial involvement in generalized scleroderma.
Generalized scleroderma is no longer considered strictly a dermatosis, but rather a disease of the connective tissue of various organs and systems. The pathological changes characterizing scleroderma have been thoroughly described and reviewed by Beerman.4 Of recent years, numerous investigators”34’679’2’4’16’7’922 have emphasized the frequency of myocardial and pericardial involvement in gener...
متن کاملCutaneous scleroderma in association with carcinoid syndrome.
A case of scleroderma in a woman with carcinoid syndrome is described and the similarities between our case and those in the literature are reviewed. The carcinoid tumours were all of midgut origin and liver metastases were present. All subsequently developed fibrotic heart disease and none had clinical features or autoantibodies suggestive of systemic sclerosis. The association between carcino...
متن کاملBrain involvement in scleroderma: two autopsy cases.
BACKGROUND Neuropathological data are very scarce in systemic sclerosis and fail to demonstrate primary changes in the brains of such patients. CASE DESCRIPTIONS A 41-year-old woman with CREST syndrome developed signs of dementia after an episode of severe dehydration and died two months later of septic shock. A 63-year-old woman with CREST syndrome and a history of two unexplained transient ...
