The light and electron microscopic myopathologic and dermatopathologic features in one patient with the partial (localized) type of lipodystrophy are described. The myopathologic changes involve both the contractile elements and the intracellular organelles, especially mitochondria that show
OBJECTIVE
In the past few years there has been great interest in potential interventions for the body shape abnormalities in HIV-infected individuals that have been termed the HIV-associated lipodystrophy syndrome. This review examines the studies that have focused on the effects of recombinant
Tesamorelin (Egrifta™) is a synthetic analog of human growth hormone-releasing hormone (also known as growth hormone-releasing factor) that stimulates the synthesis and release of endogenous growth hormone. It is the first and, so far, only treatment indicated for the reduction of excess abdominal
OBJECTIVE
To report a case of choroidal neovascularization (CNV) associated with acquired partial lipodystrophy (PLD).
METHODS
A 55-year-old woman with a known history of PLD presented with acute onset visual loss affecting her right eye and underwent investigations to diagnose the underlying
HIV-related lipodystrophy and facial lipo-atrophy are well-described problems stigmatizing many HIV patients. As these patients often require large volumes of filler material, a more permanent solution is necessary. Before the popularization of lipofilling, synthetic permanent fillers have mostly
BACKGROUND
Lipodystrophy is a side-effect associated with treatment for human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) and is found chiefly on the face (disappearance of buccal fat pads) and is detrimental to self-esteem.
METHODS
This was a retrospective study in HIV-positive patients with facial lipoatrophy
BACKGROUND
We present a rare case involving severe hypertrophy of the labia majora. This 39-year-old married woman developed a clinically noticeable bilateral lipodystrophy of her labia majora following the administration of chronic antiretroviral therapy. Different combination drug regimens that
Lipodystrophy, almost exclusively seen in female patients, causes psychological problems at an early age. In later life, additional complaints are heavy painful legs, edema, and varicose veins. Nearly all patients suffer from alimentary adiposity. Dermolipectomies in general are not advisable
METHODS
A 54 year old male, who consulted for acute inflammatory palpebral edema. The patient has HIV infection (on antiretroviral treatment) and an associated facial lipodystrophy that was filled with polyalkylimide in both frontotemporal regions one year before. MRI revealed subcutaneous abscesses
A 38-year-old female was admitted to our hospital because of dyspnea. The diagnosis of total lipodystrophy was made by following findings: (1) gaunt appearance; (2) insulin-resistant diabetes mellitus; (3) hyperlipidemia; (4) fatty liver. Chest X-ray demonstrated cardiomegaly, pulmonary edema and
Gynoid lipodystrophy, also known as cellulite, is a common multifactorial entity that affects millions of women around the world. There have been few scientific articles dealing with its physiology and treatment in the past few years, and vascular changes seem to play an important role in its
The histopathological, immunohistochemical and electron microscopic findings in eight patients with polycystic lipomembranous osteodysplasia and sclerosing leukoencephalopathy (PLO-SL) are described. This autosomally recessively inherited disease is first manifested by multiple bone cysts, which are
Magnetic resonance imaging has the advantages of multiplanar capability and high degree of tissue differentiation. It is useful for assessing the extent of soft-tissue abnormalities, such as vascular malformations, inflammatory and infectious processes, muscle disorders, and limb hypertrophy.
BACKGROUND
The lipodystrophy syndrome is characterized by selective loss of subcutaneous fat on the face and extremities (lipoatrophy) and/or accumulation of fat around the neck, abdomen, and thorax (lipohypertrophy). The aim of this study has been to assess the impact of polymethylmethacrylate
OBJECTIVE
Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) was performed to evaluate soft tissue changes after nerve root and epidural injections in lumbar spine in patients with radiculopathy.
METHODS
Patients underwent a multiple-shot injection protocol to nerve root/epidural space. The MRI protocol included
