Emergency evacuation low-pressure suction for the management of extravasation injuries - a case report.

Background: Extravasation is the movement of fluid outside its conduit into the extracellular tissue, possibly leading to a local inflammatory reaction, compartment syndrome, tissue necrosis, and full thickness skin loss at the affected area. To prevent these complications, early recognition, referral and treatment of an extravasation injury is of utter importance.

Case Report: We present a case, illustrating an extravasation injury into the breast managed by a renovated surgical technique - emergency evacuation low-pressure suction (EELS).

Anatomical variations of the upper thoracic sympathetic chain: a review.

Abstract Objectives: The objective of this study is to provide a thorough overview of the anatomical variations of the upper thoracic sympathetic trunk to improve clinical results of upper thoracic sympathectomy. In addition, this study strives for standardization of future studies regarding the anatomy of the upper thoracic sympathetic chain.

Methods: The Web of Science, PubMed and Google Scholar databases were searched using keywords, alone or combined, regarding the anatomy of the thoracic sympathetic chain.

Association between excessive daytime sleepiness and severe hypoglycemia in people with type 2 diabetes: the Edinburgh Type 2 Diabetes Study.

Objective: Sleep-disordered breathing and sleepiness cause metabolic, cognitive, and behavioral disturbance. Sleep-disordered breathing is common in type 2 diabetes, a condition that requires adherence to complex dietary, behavioral, and drug treatment regimens. Hypoglycemia is an important side effect of treatment, causing physical and psychological harm and limiting ability to achieve optimal glycemic control.

Metabolic parameters associated with arterial stiffness in older adults with Type 2 diabetes: the Edinburgh Type 2 diabetes study.

Objective: Increased arterial stiffness, as measured by pulse wave velocity (PWV), is associated with increased cardiovascular risk in the general population. Few studies have examined factors associated with increased PWV in people with Type 2 diabetes. The aim of this study was to determine whether there was a link between PWV and clinical variables associated with central obesity, in men and women with Type 2 diabetes.

Prevalence of and risk factors for hepatic steatosis and nonalcoholic Fatty liver disease in people with type 2 diabetes: the Edinburgh Type 2 Diabetes Study.

Objective: Type 2 diabetes is an established risk factor for development of hepatic steatosis and nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). We aimed to determine the prevalence and clinical correlates of these conditions in a large cohort of people with type 2 diabetes.

Research Design And Methods: A total of 939 participants, aged 61-76 years, from the Edinburgh Type 2 Diabetes Study (ET2DS)-a large, randomly selected population of people with type 2 diabetes-underwent liver ultrasonography.
