Remission of extensive intrahepatic metastasis by C-arm computed tomography guided chemoembolization in uveal melanomaEmail this article to a colleague.

Discuss or comment on this article.
As soon as uveal melanoma has metastasized to the liver, response rates to systemic chemotherapy are low. It can be improved by development of special locoregional procedures. A 24-year-old woman suffered from inoperable hepatic metastases which grew to life-endangering size despite both systemic chemotherapy with gemc-itabine/treosulfan and conventional intrahepatic chemoembolization with fotemustine and starch particles. We subsequently performed two angiographic C-arm CT-guided, superselective chemoembolizations of the hepatic arteries feeding the tumor, using cisplatin, starch microspheres and ethiodized oil. Following...

Please cite this paper as: The mineralocorticoid receptor as a novel player in skin biology: beyond the renal horizon? Experimental Dermatology 2009.Abstract: The mineralocorticoid receptor (MR) and its ligand aldosterone regulate renal sodium reabsorption and blood pressure and much knowledge has been accumulated in MR physiopathology, cellular and molecular targets. In contrast, our understanding of this hormonal system in non-classical targets (heart, blood vessels, neurons, keratinocytes[hellip]) is limited, particularly in the mammalian skin. We review here the few available data that point on MR in the skin and that ...

Leprosy is usually well-controlled by multidrug therapy (MDT). However, in case of noncompliance or leprosy reactions, it may present a therapeutically challenge. A 33-year-old Brazilian woman with lepromatous leprosy was treated with MDT for one year, but then discontinued therapy because she wanted to have children. Eight weeks after stopping her medications, she developed a severe and recalcitrant erythema (nodosum) leprosum (ENL) which presented histologically with thrombosed small veins and neutrophilic inflammation in fat septa, but without arteritis. During her pregnancy and ensuing lactation period, glucocorticoids...

Background Despite its nature as a systemic vasculitis, renal involvement is known to occur infrequently in Behçet's Disease (BD).Objectives Our aim was to investigate proteinuria, microhematuria and microalbuminuria in 24-h urine and evaluate subclinical or symptomatic renal involvement in BD patients.Methods Two hundred and eleven patients who fulfilled the International Behçet's Disease criteria were included in the study. After urine analysis, five of 12 patients who were found to have proteinuria underwent renal biopsy, while 199 patients without proteinuria were investigated for microalbuminuria (MA).Results A tota...

Conclusion Treatment with 0.1% tacrolimus ointment rather than a standard topical corticosteroid ointment regimen was associated with clinically significant, incremental improvement in QoL, sustained over a 6-month period. A within-trial cost-utility estimate based on study medication cost alone suggests that tacrolimus ointment is highly cost-effective given existing willingness-to-pay thresholds.

Conclusions Despite awareness of the benefits of sunscreen, adherence is low, even in this population, for whom adherence was knowingly monitored.

The use of ubiquitous communications technology, such as text messaging, may have implications for large-scale public health initiatives.

Conclusions Elevated D-dimer level is highly specific for VMs (pure, combined, or syndromic), and therefore this easy and inexpensive biomarker test should become part of the clinical evaluation of vascular anomalies. It can detect hidden VMs and help differentiate glomuvenous malformation (normal D-dimer levels) from other multifocal venous lesions. Elevated D-dimer level also differentiates a VM from a lymphatic malformation. Moreover, slow-flow Klippel-Trenaunay syndrome (capillaro-lymphatico-venous malformation with limb hypertrophy) can be distinguished from fast-flow Parkes Weber syndrome (capillary malformatio...
