Skin and skin structure infections (SSSIs), also referred to as skin and soft tissue infections (SSTIs), [1] or acute bacterial skin and skin structure infections (ABSSSIs), [2] are infections of skin and associated soft tissues (such as loose connective tissue and mucous membranes).
Acute periostitis is due to infection, characterized by diffuse formation of pus, severe pain, and constitutional symptoms, and usually results in necrosis.It can be caused by excessive physical activity as well, as in the case of medial tibial stress syndrome (also referred to as tibial periostalgia, soleus periostalgia, or shin splints).
Early recognition of this injury is crucial for survival. Infants who have experienced a difficult operative delivery or are suspected to have a SGH require ongoing monitoring including frequent vital signs (minimally every hour), and serial measurements of hematocrits and their occipital frontal circumference, which increases 1 cm with each 40 mL of blood deposited into the subgaleal space.
Examples of periosteal reactive bone in selected specimens of Triceratops. A periosteal reaction can result from a large number of causes, including injury and chronic irritation due to a medical condition such as hypertrophic osteopathy, bone healing in response to fracture, chronic stress injuries, subperiosteal hematomas, osteomyelitis, and cancer of the bone.
Post-acute infection syndromes (PAISs) or post-infectious syndromes are medical conditions characterized by symptoms attributed to a prior infection. While it is commonly assumed that people either recover or die from infections, long-term symptoms—or sequelae —are a possible outcome as well. [ 1 ]
Diagnosis is generally based on the symptoms, with medical imaging done to rule out other possible causes. [2] Shin splints are generally treated by rest followed by a gradual return to exercise over a period of weeks. [1] [2] [3] Other measures such as nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), cold packs, physical therapy, and compression ...
Its effect on the skin (causing for instance pachydermia) is very limited. [1] [7] The fruste form occurs in only 6% of the cases and is the opposite of the incomplete form. Minor skeletal changes are found, and mostly cutaneous symptoms are observed with limited periostosis. [1] [7] The cause of these differentiating pathologies is still ...
Perthes lesion is a variant of Bankart lesion, presenting as an anterior glenohumeral injury that occurs when the scapular periosteum remains intact but is stripped medially and the anterior labrum is avulsed from the glenoid but remains partially attached to the scapula by intact periosteum.
