Blue toe syndrome treated with sympathectomy in a patient with acute renal failure caused by cholesterol embolization

Blue toe syndrome is the most frequent manifestation of tissue ischemia caused by cholesterol embolization (CE), which can lead to amputation of affected lower extremities, if severe. However, any effective treatment is lacking. We experienced a case of spontaneously presenting blue toe syndrome and concomitant acute renal failure in a patient with multiple atherosclerotic risk factors. CE was ...

A 77-year-old woman with sudden onset of blue discolouration of right third toe.

We report on a 77-year-old woman with a history of peripheral vascular disease who presented with an acute-onset tender blue toe and deteriorating renal function. A clinical diagnosis of blue toe syndrome was made but the patient deteriorated rapidly and died. This case illustrates the rapidly devastating nature and fatality of blue toe syndrome. There is no effective treatment for this condition.

Photophysical and Photocatalytic Properties of Novel M 2 BiNbO 7 ( M = In and Ga )

Os óxidos M 2 BiNbO 7 (M = In e Ga) foram sintetizados através de reações no estado sólido, e suas propriedades estruturais e fotocatalíticas, investigadas. Os resultados indicaram que estes compostos cristalizam na estrutura do tipo pirocloro, no sistema cúbico, grupo espacial Fd-3m. Os valores estimados dos “band gaps” dos óxidos In 2 BiNbO 7 e Ga 2 BiNbO 7 são 2,52(5) e 2,57(8) eV, respectiv...

Blues in Two Different Spanish-Speaking Populations

Several studies investigating color discrimination across languages have shown a facilitation effect in groups that employ more than one term to refer to a given color. While Uruguayans use “azul” to refer to dark blue and “celeste” for light blue, Spaniards use “azul” for dark blue and the compound terms “azul celeste” or “azul claro” for light blue.
