Sweet syndrome with osseous and splenic involvement: A case report.

Sweet syndrome is an uncommon inflammatory skin condition. Here we present a case of Sweet syndrome in a young woman with rare extracutaneous manifestations, including bone and splenic fluid collections, with marked improvement following treatment with systemic corticosteroids. The patient was subsequently diagnosed with Crohn's disease which can be seen in the setting of Sweet syndrome.

Ureterosciatic hernia with concomitant Amyand hernia: Case report and review of the literature.

Ureterosciatic hernias are extremely rare, with fewer than 40 cases reported in the literature. We present a case of a patient with concurrent right ureterosciatic hernia (Lindbom hernia), ipsilateral bladder hernia, and appendix-containing inguinal hernia (Amyand hernia). These findings were discovered incidentally on imaging and the patient had no associated symptoms.

Preparation and characterization of novel magnetic nano-in-microparticles for site-specific pulmonary drug delivery.

We propose the use of novel inhalable nano-in-microparticles (NIMs) for site-specific pulmonary drug delivery. Conventional lung cancer therapy has failed to achieve therapeutic drug concentrations at tumor sites without causing adverse effects in healthy tissue. To increase targeted drug delivery near lung tumors, we have prepared and characterized a magnetically responsive dry powder vehicle containing doxorubicin.
