Predisposing factors for recurrent skin ulcers in leprosy.
This study was designed to determine the factors associated with recurrence of leprosy ulcers. Between April and August 1992, 55 consecutive leprosy patients admitted with skin ulcers were studied. Factors predisposing to recurrence, e.g. patient's age, disease duration, ulcer site, ulcer depth and physical deformity (taking into account neuromuscular and skeletal damage) were evaluated. Ulcer ...
متن کاملLangerhans Cells in Skin Lesions of Leprosy
Background: Langerhans cells are important in the pathogenesis of leprosy. A recent study reported that these cells were almost absent in the epidermis overlying lepromatous lesions. Objective: To investigate a possible relationship between the number of Langerhans cells and the histopathologic spectrum of lesions in patients with leprosy. Methods: An immunohistochemical staining for S100 prot...
متن کاملPredisposing factors of recurrent embolization in cardiogenic cerebral embolism.
To elucidate the pathophysiology of intracardiac thrombus formation, serial two-dimensional echocardiographic examinations were performed on 30 consecutive patients with acute cardiogenic cerebral embolism in parallel with measurement of hematocrit and plasma levels of antithrombin III. The data from groups of patients with and without newly formed or enlarged thrombi were compared. Intracardia...
متن کاملPredisposing Factors Associated With Chronic and Recurrent Rhinosinusitis in Childhood
PURPOSE There is currently no information regarding predisposing factors for chronic and recurrent rhinosinusitis (RS), although these are considered to be multifactorial in origin, and allergic diseases contribute to their pathogenesis. We evaluated the predisposing factors that may be associated with chronic and recurrent RS. METHODS In this prospective study, we examined patients with RS y...
متن کاملLeprosy patients: neurotrophic factors and axonal markers in skin lesions.
Neurotrophins are growth factors with crucial roles in neural pathophysiology. These mediators functionally modulate nociceptive fibers, and changes in neurotrophins expression have been correlated with early loss of nociception in leprosy. This study investigated the expression of NGF, BDNF, and NT3 in dermal nerves of leprosy patients. Characterization of Remak bundles was achieved by p75(NTR...
