The morbidly obese patient, although at risk for many perioperative complications of radical surgery, paradoxically presents the opportunity for wide excision of abdominal soft-tissue infections. This report describes the successful radical surgical management of bacterial panniculitis of the
OBJECTIVE
To report a case of infective panniculitis in a morbidly obese, pregnant woman, which was successfully treated with daptomycin.
METHODS
A 34-year-old, 27-week pregnant, morbidly obese woman with a history of skin/soft-tissue infections and diabetes mellitus, presented with panniculitis.
Sixty-one percent of Americans are overweight, and 20% are considered obese. The number of obese adults has doubled since 1960, and the number of overweight teenagers has tripled. In many overweight people, skin and wound conditions develop over the abdominal area, largely because of the
Chronic inflammation accompanies obesity and limits subcutaneous white adipose tissue (WAT) expandability, accelerating the development of insulin resistance and type 2 diabetes mellitus. MicroRNAs (miRNAs) influence expression of many metabolic genes in fat cells, but physiological roles in WAT
Obese women with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) have more inflammation in their subcutaneous white adipose tissue (sWAT) than age-and-BMI similar obese women with normal glucose tolerance (NGT). We aimed to investigate whether WAT fatty acids and/or oxylipins are associated with the enhanced
The worldwide epidemic of overweight and obesity has led to an increase in associated metabolic comorbidities. Obesity induces chronic low-grade inflammation in white adipose tissue (WAT). However, the function and regulation of both innate and adaptive immune cells in human WAT under conditions of
Inflammation and oxidative stress are interrelated during obesity and contribute to the development of insulin resistance; and exercise training represents a key component in the management of these conditions. Black African women despite high gluteal subcutaneous adipose tissue (SAT) A 32-year-old woman underwent jejunoileal bypass surgery for morbid obesity. Her postoperative course was marked with many of the complications of this type of surgery. In addition, tender, erythematous nodules developed on her legs and abdomen that were grossly and microscopically consistent with
A 39-year-old obese female patient with borderline diabetes mellitus who developed multiple, tender, and hard nodules on the lower abdominal wall is described. The histological features were characterized by mixed panniculitis, showing massive eosinophilic infiltration and fibrosis in the septae and
BACKGROUND
The term lipomembranous panniculitis refers to a chronic inflammation of the subcutaneous cell tissue, probably representing a non-specific type of ischemic necrosis of the fatty tissue, common to several complaints. It is characterized by painful sclerotic subcutaneous deposits, located
Among the cutaneous manifestations of hyperparathyroidism, cases of panniculitis with calcification of the adipose tissue and necrosis of the skin have recently been reported, the mechanism incriminated being calciphylaxis, as defined by Selye on the basis of experiments. Experimental calciphylaxis
OBJECTIVE
To evaluate the sonographic findings of mesenteric panniculitis (MP) and correlate them with CT findings.
METHODS
We retrospectively evaluated the clinical, CT, and sonographic findings in 26 cases of MP in our hospital between January 1997 and July 2003. We also reviewed the sonographic
BACKGROUND
Many patients who qualify for obesity surgery have a moderate to large panniculus (grade 1-5). They can benefit from panniculectomy done concurrently with gastric bypass (GBP) or subsequently after significant weight reduction, usually 18 months after the GBP.
METHODS
Over the last 8
