Article Synopsis
- Extra-facial melasma is a common skin condition with unique clinical features and potential causes, impacting various populations.
- A study involving 90 participants compared extra-facial melasma patients with healthy volunteers, assessing clinical characteristics and conducting biopsies to analyze skin differences.
- Findings indicated that the melasma group was predominantly older women, often post-menopausal, with a notable family history, while histopathological analysis showed increased melanin density and signs of skin damage, although the number of melanocytes did not differ significantly between the groups.
Three-dimensional transesophageal echocardiography (3D TEE) has been used to guide the percutaneous repair of simple atrial septal defects (ASDs). There has been limited experience in using this imaging modality to guide complex ASD repair. In this report, we describe how 3D TEE was used to guide the repair of a complex, multifenestrated ASD.
