Multifocal Nodular Fatty Infiltration of the Liver: A Case Report of a Challenging Diagnostic Problem.

Background: Fatty infiltration of the liver usually has a diffuse pattern, but in very rare cases it presents as multiple focal lesions of the liver, mimicking metastases. A correct diagnosis is crucial to address prognosis and eventual treatment.

Case Report: We present the case of a completely fit and asymptomatic patient referred for multiple bilateral liver metastases of unknown origin.

Extensive vulval oedema secondary to severe pelvic infection.

A 17-year-old female developed a complex pelvic abscess a few weeks post-surgical abortion. Despite surgical drainage, a debilitating infection induced a low albumen. The resulting pelvic oedema caused gross vulval oedema that was difficult to manage.

Exercise training for claudicants: changes in blood flow, cardiorespiratory status, metabolic functions, blood rheology and lipid profile.

Objective: Exercise training improves the walking distance of claudicants. The aim of this study was to investigate factors associated with the improvement in the maximum walking distance (MWD) in respect to cardiovascular, respiratory and metabolic adaptations.

Methods: Forty claudicants were studied.

Cavernous haemangioma of the nasal bones: an alternative management option.

The authors present a case of bilateral cavernous haemangiomas affecting the posterior ends of both inferior turbinates of the nose. The condition was treated by angiographically controlled embolization. Review of the literature back to 1967 has revealed no other report of embolization being used specifically for this condition.
