2/4. The value of serological tests for syphilis in atypical genital ulcer disease.A 45-year-old heterosexual man presented with phimosis three weeks after arriving in this country from india. Examination under anaesthesia and circumcision revealed a large ulcer on the ventral aspect of the penis around the fraenum. Histopathological examination of a biopsy taken from the ulcer revealed granulation tissue with inflammatory cell infiltrate. Specific and non-specific serological tests for syphilis carried out four weeks after the initial presentation showed high titres. The importance of serological tests for syphilis in genital ulcer disease, especially in atypical presentations, is discussed.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 0.16666666666667keywords = anaesthesia (Clic here for more details about this article) |
3/4. Defect of the ala nasi following trigeminal denervation. Case report.Trophic ulceration of the nose is a rare complication occurring in patients with trigeminal anaesthesia. The etiology is not clear, but self-inflicted injuries to an anaesthetic region are considered to play an important part. The authors' experience with three cases indicates that substitution with skin from the affected area of the face will not give a lasting result. It seems probable that only skin with an intact nerve supply can provide a permanent replacement for skin lost in the dystrophic process. This means that a local flap innervated from a non-affected part of the face would offer the best possibility of a permanent cover for these defects.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 0.16666666666667keywords = anaesthesia (Clic here for more details about this article) |
