OBJECTIVE
Gynecomastia-like changes of the female breast are only sparsely reported and are not well defined in the literature to our knowledge. Our objectives were to determine the incidence, clinical presentation, mammographic findings, and the medical background of patients with these
1 61-year-old man had osteosclerotic myeloma that was localized in the eleventh thoracic vertebral body and associated with sensorimotor polyneuropathy, skin hyperipigmentation, edema, hypertrichosis, gynecomastia, and white nails. Cases of osteosclerotic myeloma with and without polyneuropathy in
Bumetanide and furosemide were compared for efficacy in reducing edema due to congestive heart failure in 28 patients (21 receiving bumetanide and seven receiving furosemide) in a long-term study for periods from one week to 18 months. In both groups the patients showed decreases in body weight,
Bumetanide was compared with furosemide in a total of 43 outpatients with edema due to renal disease, selected from three clinics following a uniform protocol. By random selection, 31 patients received 1 to 10 mg/day bumetanide, and 12 received 40 to 400 mg/day furosemide for at least six months.
To analyze and compare prospectively the curative effects between mammotome-assisted minimally invasive resection (MAMIR) and traditional open surgery (TOS) for gynecomastia in Chinese male patients, a total of 60 patients suffering from grade I and II gynecomastia, evaluated by automated
Hepatic cirrhosis is frequently listed as a cause of gynecomastia. We found previously that in hospitalized men the prevalence of gynecomastia was correlated with body mass index and with age. The mean body mass index and the prevalence of gynecomastia in the cirrhotic subjects (nonedematous) did
BACKGROUND
Laser-assisted liposuction (LAL) is currently widely used to reduce localized fat. A novel Nd:YAG laser that uses a wavelength of 1,444 nm, which is better absorbed by fat, has recently been introduced. In this study, we investigated the efficacy of 1,444-nm Nd:YAG LAL for the treatment
The aim of this study is to introduce the endoscopic subcutaneous mastectomy without skin excision as the standard surgical technique for grade IIB and III gynecomastia. Endoscopic subcutaneous mastectomy was performed successfully in 125 breasts of 65 patients with Simon's grade IIB and III
BACKGROUND
Lipolysis using laser is currently widely used for reducing localized fat. A 1064 nm neodynium-doped yttrium aluminum garnet (Nd:YAG) laser lipolysis was investigated in this study to evaluate its efficacy and safety in the treatment of gynecomastia.
METHODS
Five male patients diagnosed
Growth hormone (GH) has been used for more than 40 years. GH improves height velocity in many conditions associated with impaired growth and corrects metabolic deficits attributable to GH deficiency (GHD). Many studies and surveillance programs exist to collect efficacy and safety data. GH has been
A rare case of Crow-Fukase syndrome was reported, which developed 7 years following myelopathy of unknown origin. In September 1983, a 31-year-old man came to our department for progressive gait disturbance and numbness in both lower extremities. Examination on admission showed hyperreflexia with
BACKGROUND
Few studies have addressed anti-androgenic therapy using oral spironolactone for acne in Asians. Obtaining this race-specific information is important because Westerners and Asians respond differently to hormone therapy. This study aimed to examine the efficacy and safety of oral
OBJECTIVE
The aim of this paper was to report the first case of Kennedy disease misdiagnosed as polyneuropathy, organomegaly, endocrinopathy, monoclonal gammopathy, and skin changes (POEMS) syndrome.
METHODS
A 58-year-old Chinese man presented with limb numbness, progressive limb proximal weakness,
A 54-year-old man of Persian origin presented to our department with a 1-year history of ulcers on the right leg that had been unresponsive to numerous topical treatments, accompanied by lymphedema of the right leg. Medical history included hypergonadotropic hypogonadism, which had not been further
The patient was a 70-year-old male with complaint of macrohematuria at the first visit to our clinic on June 10, 1986. At that time, cystoscopy revealed a thumb sized papillary tumor and a rice sized non papillary tumor, and the biopsy specimen was pathologically diagnosed as undifferentiated
