Surgical Management of Chronic Morel-Lavallée Lesion with Minimal Cosmetic Scarring: A Case Report.

Introduction: Morel-Lavallée lesion (MLL) is a closed degloving injury that occurs after traumatic damage to soft tissue, leading to the formation of an encapsulated serosanguinous collection of fluid. Although some MLLs resolve spontaneously, chronic MLLs present with a significant risk of infection and may impede patients' quality of life. Chronic lesions require surgical intervention to evacuate and debride the hematoma, often resulting in severe cosmetic damage postoperatively.

Left Ventricular Twist and Untwist in Patients Undergoing Elective Percutaneous Coronary Intervention.

Background: Left ventricular (LV) twist and untwist plays important roles in physiological adaptation and development of clinically relevant cardiac diseases.

Aims: To assess LV twist and untwist in patients undergoing elective percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) by two-dimensional (2D) speckle tracking echocardiography (STE).

Subjects And Methods: Fifty patients who had stable angina pectoris and/or abnormal result from noninvasive stress tests were enrolled after undergoing elective PCI.

Hematological effect of benzene exposure with emphasis of muconic acid as a biomarker.

Human exposure to benzene in work environment is a global occupational health problem. It is established that benzene requires to be metabolized to induce its effects. Benzene has been associated with various hematotoxins and carcinogens.

Genotoxic effect of occupational exposure to cadmium.

Many studies proved the genotoxic effect of cadmium (Cd) exposure and highlighted the importance of the cytogenetic studies as a sensitive and effective means for early detection of Cd-induced mutagenicity. The relationship between occupational exposure to Cd and increased risk of cancer, particularly lung cancer, has been explored in number of epidemiological studies. The aim of this study is to assess the role of chromosomal abnormalities and sister chromatid exchange as sensitive indicators for the genotoxicity of occupational exposure to Cd.
