BACKGROUND Intramuscular fatty infiltration is generally associated with the accumulation of white adipocytes in skeletal muscle and unfavourable metabolic outcomes. It is, however, still unclear whether intramuscular adipocytes could also acquire a brown-like phenotype. Here, we detected intramuscular expression of brown adipocyte markers during fatty infiltration in an obesity-resistant mouse...

Although anaphylactic shock during the perioperative period is rare, it can be lethal due to severe cardiovascular and respiratory collapse. Midazolam is generally used as premedication for relieving anxiety about the operation, and the danger of anaphylactic shock after intramuscular injection is not widely recognized. We report the first case of anaphylactic shock occurring during the periope...

Sir,?Dr. Adalja's letter on (lie above subject published in the January issue of the Gazette, p. 58, I have read with interest. Ho appears to be a great advocate of intramuscular quinine, for he not onfy used quinine by this route when indicated, but also expresses the opinion that in 85 per cent of cases quinine injection therapy is indicated. One can conceive that the percentage of cases requ...

To the Editor, The Indian Medical Gazette. Sir,?Having read the letter by Dr. D. M. Vasavada in your issue for October 1930 on intravenous quinine, j. am prompted to write to you to emphasise the value o intramuscular injections of quinine in malaria. TllC intramuscular injection is not followed by the fall i11 blood-pressure which occurs with intravenous injeC" lions, the method is easy and sa...

We herein report three cases of alcoholic cirrhosis complicated by deep bleeding. In two of the three cases, intramuscular or retroperitoneal hematomas developed spontaneously. In contrast, in the remaining case, an intramuscular hematoma developed after trauma. In the former two patients, the intramuscular hematomas recurred at other sites during hospitalization. All three patients received co...

Lipomas are the most common type of soft tissue mesenchymal tumors. They are typically located subcutaneously and consist of mature fatty tissue. When they occur under the enclosing fascia, they are called deep-seated lipomas. Infrequently, lipomas can arise inside the muscle and are called intramuscular lipomas. Intramuscular lipomas have been commonly investigated and categorized in the same ...

Sir,?I have seen the correspondence on this subject in two or more numbers of the Gazette, and perhaps I may be permitted to record my experience in it. Some years ago I was in charge of a hospital in a malarious district, and, if my memory serves me right, I had occasion to treat about 740 cases microscopically proved to be malaria in 2 years and 10 months' time. I administered over 3,000 intr...

Sir,?Dr. Soni's letter in your issue of May 1935, page 298, induced me to read once over again my letter and your comments thereon. I find that two very important points seem to have missed both of you, viz, (1) My observations relate only to malaria in Kenya and particularly Nairobi. What holds good here may not hold good elsewhere. (2) Ninety-five per cent of the cases here are subtertian in ...

OBJECTIVE : This paper reports the incidence, origin, course and anatomical relationships of intramuscular Martin-Gruber anastomosis. METHODS : Anatomical dissection of 100 limbs from 50 adults cadavers was performed. The intramuscular Martin-Gruber anastomosis was found in five forearms, three in the right and two in the left side, one was bilateral. All communication were located between th...
