The lateral portion was partially dissected facilitate anchoring. gently exposed then pulled out...

It is difficult to differentiate acute skin failure (ASF) from pressure ulcer (PU). ASF defined as unavoidable injury resulting hypoperfusion caused by severe dysfunction of another organ system. We describe a case mistaken PU that resulted in legal dispute. A 74-year-old male patient was admitted our intensive care unit with sepsis due bacterial pneumonia. Despite the use air cushions and regular position changes, ulcerations occurred over his occiput, back, buttock, elbow, ankle. After...

Accuracy, simplicity, and cost‐effectiveness are the most important criteria for a genotyping method SNPs compatible with clinical use. One developed SNP genotyping, ligase‐based discrimination, is considered simplest diagnosis. However, multiplex assays using this limited by detection method. Although CE has been introduced as an alternative to error prone microarray‐based detection, design process assay procedure complicated because of DNA size‐dependent separation principle. In study, we...

Extramammary Paget disease (EMPD) is an uncommon malignant neoplasm that occurs in areas containing apocrine glands, and the vulva most commonly involved site. Wide surgical excision with subsequent defect reconstruction widely accepted as first-line treatment for EMPD. More recently, radiation has been considered appropriate primary or adjuvant treatment. In effort to replace wide avoid unfavorable aesthetic results sexual dysfunction, we decided excise tumor minimally add treatment.A...

The recently known analgesic action mechanisms of nefopam (NFP) are similar to those anticonvulsants and antidepressants in neuropathic pain treatment. It is difficult prescribe high doses oral drugs without titration due adverse effects. Unfortunately, there few available intravenous analgesics for the immediate management acute flare-ups chronic pain. aim this study was determine additional effects NFP its during medications among inpatients with postherpetic neuralgia (PHN).Eighty PHN...

Eccrine poroma is a common benign cutaneous tumor that originates in an intraepidermal eccrine duct. This exhibits acral distribution (sole, palm), and rarely encountered the head neck area. In fact postauricular area has only been reported. A 55-year-old female visited our hospital with main complaint of mass first developed left about year previously. The was painless, soft, protruding, domed, dark red color, had slowly enlarged (at presentation it measured 1×1 cm). Excisional biopsy...

Aberrant DNA methylation is a potential diagnostic marker for complex diseases, such as cancer. With the increase in number of genes known to exhibit disease-associated aberrant methylation, need accurate multiplex assays quantifying has increased. Methylation-specific ligation-dependent probe amplification (MS-MLPA) one method that been highlighted this context. However, two limitations make custom design MS-MLPA impractical: long probes containing stuffer sequences and reliance on only...

With advances in diagnostic technology, radiologic methods have been used more frequently, and physical examination may be neglected. The authors report a case of pediatric medial orbital trapdoor fracture which the surgery was delayed because computed tomography (CT) findings did not indicate bone displacement, incarceration rectus muscle, or soft tissue herniation. A healthy 6-year-old boy admitted to emergency room for right eyebrow laceration. We could check eyeball movement diplopia,...

A simple and precise diagnostic method for spinal muscular atrophy (SMA) using high-resolution CE-based single-strand conformation polymorphism (CE-SSCP) was developed in this study. SMA is a common genetic disorder caused by an abnormality the relative copy numbers of SMN1 its centromeric SMN2, which differ only two nucleotides, namely at exons 7 8. Therefore, discrimination differences sequence as well their quantities crucial diagnosis SMA. Multiplex ligation-dependent probe amplification...

An 88-year-old man presented with a left temporal pulsatile mass that developed after blunt trauma. Based on suspicion of hematoma, needle aspiration was performed the removal approximately 15 mL blood. No evident improvement noted, and active arterial bleeding observed at puncture site. Doppler ultrasonography revealed “yin-yang” sign, diagnosed as pseudoaneurysm superficial artery. Under general anesthesia, artery ligated removed. Superficial is rare facial tumor generally occurs Due to...

None of the reports delayed infection mentioned a latent period exceeding 13 months. we report an that developed 18 months after implantation absorbable plate. A 16-year-old adolescent girl had undergone reduction and fixation with plate for Lefort I zygomaticomaxillary complex fractures prior at our hospital. In her most recent hospital visit as outpatient, abscess was observed in periocular area. Computed tomography revealed sinusitis above infraorbital rim. Wound culture yielded...

The double eyelid operation is the most common cosmetic procedure conducted in Asians. However, epicanthal fold presents a conundrum that limits results of surgery. Despite not being pathologic condition, numerous procedures have been developed and introduced to address this issue, but these techniques potential disadvantages include an unnatural ciliary position lower lids prominent scarring.A total 156 patients who underwent with medial epicanthoplasty using modified skin redraping method...

Rationale: Extramammary Paget’s disease (EMPD) is a rare skin cancer that commonly occurs in sites rich apocrine glands, such as perineum, vulva, axilla, scrotum, and penis. On the other hand, condyloma acuminatum (CA; also referred to anogenital warts) common benign neoplasm caused by human papillomavirus. Few cases of coexistent EMPD CA have been reported because rarity condition. Patient concerns diagnosis: A 72-year-old man with genital mass, which appeared be composed multiple...

Fournier’s gangrene is a necrotizing fasciitis encountered in the scrotal and perineal region which progresses rapidly to life-threatening state. Treatment options are dependent on origin of disease lesion extent depth. We report our experience case treated by colostomy vacuum assisted closure (VAC).
