INTRODUCTION Subcutaneous sarcoidosis is a rare manifestation of systemic sarcoidosis in which firm asymptomaticto-tender subcutaneous nodules develop secondary to sarcoidal granulomas involving the panniculus. Sarcoidosis implies systemic disease, but subcutaneous lesions may present with absent or mild systemic involvement. Here we report 3 cases of isolated subcutaneous nodules with sarcoida...

INTRODUCTION Using traditional experimental methodologies [1,2,3], the skin has to be separated from the subcutaneous tissues in order to determine the tissues’ viscoelastic properties. Thus, the complex collagen fiber network in soft tissue could be damaged when the skin is separated from the subcutaneous tissue. Therefore, the viscoelastic properties of the skin and subcutaneous tissues measu...

Cytology of cutaneous and subcutaneous masses represents an opportunity to screen potential surgical cases and determine an etiologic agent or rule out potential neoplasia. This session will focus on common non-neoplastic and neoplastic tumors that present to practitioners. Helpful hints are given how to best diagnose the conditions. Cytodiagnostic groups for cutaneous and subcutaneous tissues ...

Subcutaneous fat necrosis of the newborn is an unusual form of panniculitis, with few cases described in medical literature. The disease affects newborns at term or post-term, with normal general health. We describe two cases of newborns affected by the disease. One of them already had lesions since birth. Also, we discuss the use of puncture for diagnostic assistance.

We present a case of a gentleman in his 70s with extensive subcutaneous emphysema. Usually self-limiting, subcutaneous emphysema around the thoracic inlet can rarely lead to airway and cardiovascular compromise by compression of structures in the neck. This patient presented with a large pneumothorax on a background of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). This was initially treated wit...

Indian Journal of Critical Care Medicine ¦ Volume 21 ¦ Issue 9 ¦ September 2017 618 Some evidence suggests that lung‐protective mechanical ventilation (MV) with low‐tidal volume ventilation (LTVV) in addition to positive end‐expiratory pressure (PEEP) could prevent PGD‐induced hypoxemia in the recipients of LT. Nevertheless, these suggestions require further validation in prospective clinical s...

Background: Methanol is a highly toxic alcohol and causes such severe side effects as CNS depression, blindness, acute renal failure and even death. Methods: Patients were three male referrals (aged 29-56 years) to the poisoning center at Taleghani Hospital, Urmia, Iran, in 2020. They had unknowingly ingested methanol. Their chief problems were bilateral blindness and metabolic acidosis. Upon ...
