Hemodynamic studies in 226 patients with erysipelas of the lower limbs with employment of tetrapolar rheography revealed a marked reduction in the intensity of regional blood flow correlated with the disease severity. Circulation recovery in the affected limb takes place as late as 3 months after the discharge from hospital in primary and secondary erysipelas, but deficient circulation persisted in recurrent disease. This grounds prognostic significance of the rheography. A positive trend in hemodynamic indices was registered upon UV-irradiated autoblood reinfusions which also decreased the relapses frequency.

Anaphylaxis to cow's milk protein in a probiotic not detected by the electronic medical record.
JPGN Rep

Allergy Partners of NJ Ocean New Jersey USA.
A 13-year-old female with a history of congenital left lower leg lymphedema, multiple food allergies, including an immunoglobulin E mediated severe cow's milk allergy, and well-controlled moderate persistent asthma was hospitalized with left lower leg erysipelas and Group A Streptococcus septicemia. While hospitalized, immediately after exposure to cow's milk protein as an inactive ingredient within a probiotic, she developed anaphylaxis with respiratory failure requiring intubation. This is only the third reported case of anaphylaxis due to a probiotic.

Clifford Hospital, Guangzhou University of Chinese Medicine, Guangzhou, China.
Article Synopsis
- - This study investigates the adverse drug events (ADEs) linked to TNF-α inhibitors (TNFis) used in rheumatoid arthritis (RA) patients, pulling data from the FDA's reporting system to enhance clinical understanding.
- - Four common ADEs among TNFis are identified (pulmonary tuberculosis, infections, hypersensitivity, and herpes zoster), but each TNFi also has unique ADEs: Adalimumab has the highest with 63 unique events, while etanercept has 180 unique ADEs.
- - The research highlights the need for careful medication selection by clinicians, especially for RA patients with existing malignancies, due to the variety of common and unique ADEs linked to different TNFis.
The impact of obesity on chronic oedema/lymphoedema of the leg - an international multicenter cross-sectional study (LIMPRINT).
Int J Obes (Lond)
September 2024
Department of Dermato-Venereology & Wound Healing Centre, Bispebjerg Hospital, Copenhagen University Hospital, Copenhagen, Denmark.
Article Synopsis
- Obesity and chronic oedema/lymphoedema are related conditions, with this study exploring how increased weight affects chronic oedema in patients with leg swelling.
- The study surveyed 7,397 patients across 38 centers in nine countries, revealing that heavier patients experienced more severe stages of chronic oedema compared to those with normal weight.
- Ten independent factors were linked to increased weight, including diabetes and decreased mobility, suggesting that obesity worsens chronic oedema control and decreases overall quality of life.

Article Synopsis
- Secondary lymphoedema (SL) is a common complication of cancer treatment, requiring careful diagnosis through techniques like MR lymphography and ICG lymphography for effective management.
- The systematic review highlights the superiority of complex physical decongestion therapy (CPE) over other methods and demonstrates the positive outcomes of (super)microsurgical techniques in reducing symptoms and improving quality of life.
- Ongoing conservative therapy and regular re-evaluation are crucial for patients with SL, particularly those at high risk or experiencing worsening symptoms.
