Schwannoma commonly arises from Schwann cells of the neural sheath, and is rare in the groin region. Here, we describe a vaginal schwannoma incidentally detected by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in a patient with thigh pain. A 43-year-old woman presented with thigh pain with burning and tingling sensations in the medial aspect of her left thigh. MRI revealed a mass lesion of heterogeneous intensity 5.2 × 5.7 cm in the left vaginal wall. The mass was resected and histology revealed schwannoma.

Examining Changes in Pain Sensitivity Following 8 Minutes of Cycling at Varying Exercise Intensities.

Int J Exerc Sci

December 2024

Rehabilitation and Modulation of Pain (RAMP) Lab, Institute of Exercise Physiology and Rehabilitation Science, University of Central Florida, Orlando, FL, USA.

This study assessed the effect of an eight-minute cycling intervention using varying intensities on exercise-induced hypoalgesia (EIH). The main objective of this study was to examine the effect of varying intensities on pressure pain threshold (PPT) and heat pain threshold (HPT) at the thigh and forearm, tested pre- and post-cycling intervention. Healthy male participants ( = 16) performed a graded exercise test on a cycle ergometer to establish their peak power output (PPO).

Management of hidradenitis suppurativa in the inpatient setting: a clinical guide.

Arch Dermatol Res

January 2025

Dr Philip Frost Department of Dermatology and Cutaneous Surgery, University of Miami Miller School of Medicine, 1600 NW 10th Ave RMSB 2023A, Miami, FL, USA.

Hidradenitis suppurativa (HS) is a chronic inflammatory disease that affects the axilla, inframammary folds, buttocks, inner thighs, and anogenital regions. Patients with moderate to severe HS often seek care in the emergency department and may require hospitalization; however, the lack of clear admission criteria and management guidelines presents significant challenges. To address these issues, we conducted a clinical review aimed at hospitalists and consulting dermatologists considering hospital admission for patients experiencing severe HS flares.
