Large prepatellar glomangioma: A case report.

Introduction: Glomangiomas are rare, benign tumors derived from the glomus body, typically presenting with the classic triad of pain, tenderness to palpation, and hypersensitivity to cold. Most commonly they present as a solitary lesion in the extremities, especially subungual, but they may present elsewhere.

Presentation Of Case: We describe the case of a large (64mm×59mm×41mm) glomangioma on the anteroinferior aspect of a healthy 49 year old male's knee.

Loss of cardiac tetralinoleoyl cardiolipin in human and experimental heart failure.

The mitochondrial phospholipid cardiolipin is required for optimal mitochondrial respiration. In this study, cardiolipin molecular species and cytochrome oxidase (COx) activity were studied in interfibrillar (IF) and subsarcolemmal (SSL) cardiac mitochondria from Spontaneously Hypertensive Heart Failure (SHHF) and Sprague-Dawley (SD) rats throughout their natural life span. Fisher Brown Norway (FBN) and young aortic-constricted SHHF rats were also studied to investigate cardiolipin alterations in aging versus pathology.
