Chondromyxoid Fibroma of the Lateral Malleolus: A Case Report

Chondromyxoid fibromas account for <1% of primary bone neoplasms. We report one such case occurring in the distal fibula of a 27-year-old woman. The patient underwent curettage, followed by phenolisation, insertion of a Steinmann pin, and cementation. This treatment reduced morbidity, restored stability, and enabled rapid functional recovery. There was no recurrence after 2 years

Pial microvascular responses induced by transient bilateral common carotid artery occlusion in Zucker rats

This study was aimed to assess the in vivo geometric and functional characteristics of lean Zucker (ZL) and obese Zucker rat (ZO) pial microvascular networks and to evaluate the vascular responses to cerebral hypoperfusion-reperfusion. Rat pial microcirculation was observed by fluorescence microscopy through a closed cranial window. Bilateral common carotid artery occlusion (BCCAO) lasted 30 min and reperfusion 60 min. Arterioles were classified according to Strahler's ordering scheme. Arteriolar diameter was determined by computer assisted-method as well as permeability increase, leukocyte adhesion and perfused capillary length. Neuronal damage was evaluated by TTC staining. ZO rats did not show order 5 vessels; ZO pial arterioles showed high asymmetry in the largest vessels and reduced number of branchings compared with those detected in ZL and Wistar rats. BCCAO and reperfusion caused more severe microvascular damages in ZO compared with ZL and Wistar rats. Vascular responses to acetylcholine and papaverine in ZO rats were significantly reduced compared with Wistar and ZL rats under baseline condition and at the end of reperfusion. Moreover, ZO rats showed more pronounced lesion in the cortex and striatum. Obesity and hyperglycemia could increase vascular remodeling in cerebral networks, with elevated risk of adverse outcome after brain hypoperfusion-reperfusion

Questo libro raccoglie l’esito di una call, lanciata nell’autunno del 2016, promossa da un gruppo di ricercatori del Dottorato in Paesaggi della Città Contemporanea. Politiche, tecniche e studi visuali, afferenti al Dipartimento di Architettura dell’Università Roma Tre. L’invito, rivolto a studiosi, progettisti, fotografi e artisti in diversi ambiti, è di indagare i caratteri delle molteplici manifestazioni con cui le compresenze – le forme di abitare la città e costruire gli spazi urbani che includono differenti e plurali intenzionalità, spontanee, predisposte o suggerite – si compiono nei luoghi delle città contemporanee e sollecitano l’incontro tra corpi, comportamenti, spazi, tempi e culture differenti. Il libro contiene i contributi selezionati, con una ricca varietà di casi e di riflessioni, rivolti sia a pratiche informali sia a progetti autoriali, a edifici e spazi aperti, esperienze didattiche, di ricerca teorica o applicata, in grado di offrire spunti di riflessione per rispondere ad alcune domande di cui proponiamo l’urgenza

Ossification of the Interosseous Membrane of the Leg in a Football Player: Case Report and Review of the Literature

Introduction. We report a case of ossification of the interosseous membrane (OIM) of the leg in a football player who had no history of severe local traumas. A review of the literature of the OIM of the leg in athletes was also carried out. Case Report. A 38-year-old Caucasian male patient complained of pain on lateral aspect of the leg when playing football. Pain progressively worsened until he had to stop the sporting activity. Radiographs, and then CT and MRI, showed OIM in the middle third of the left leg. MRI showed inflammation of tibia periosteum and bone adjacent to the ossification, which was then excised. Two months after surgery the patient returned to play football. Conclusion. A thorough analysis of the literature revealed three types of OIM of the leg in athletes. Type I usually occurs after a syndesmosis ankle sprain, Type II appears to result from a tibia fracture, and Type III, of which only one fully recorded case has been published, is probably caused, as in our patient, by repetitive minor traumas to the leg. Awareness of the existence of Type III OIM can avoid erroneous diagnoses leading to useless investigations and treatments
