Article Synopsis
- - Chylopericardium is a rare condition resulting from lymphatic disruption, often arising from trauma or surgeries like coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG); it leads to fluid accumulation in the pericardial cavity.
- - A 62-year-old man developed severe symptoms one week post-CABG, revealing chylous fluid in the pericardial space, which resulted in cardiac tamponade and ultimately led to his death despite aggressive medical interventions.
- - The case highlights the rarity and complexity of diagnosing post-operative chylopericardium, emphasizing the necessity for prompt recognition and treatment strategies to manage such critical complications.
Background: Periorbital hyperpigmentation (POH) is a common cosmetic problem with a negative impact on the patient's self-confidence, leading to a decrease in the quality of life. Current treatments include topical agents and mesotherapy, but research remains limited.
Aims: Due to the undesirable effect of the available treatments, the present study was designed to compare the effectiveness of platelet-rich plasma (PRP) injection and intradermal injection of tranexamic acid plus vitamin C mesotherapy as a therapeutic method to treat POH.
Introduction: Alopecia areata (AA) is a common, non-scarring, autoimmune hair loss disorder, varying in severity from small round hairless patches to the total loss of scalp or body hair. As steroid pulse therapy outcomes for AA vary, this study aimed to review the related literature regarding the efficacy, relapse rates, side effects, and prognostic factors associated with the response to different pulse corticosteroid treatments.
Methods: We performed a literature search on August 29, 2022, to provide an overview of the efficacy of pulse steroid therapy in patients with AA.
