Evaluation of Interstitium by Lymphatic Uptake Method in Chronic Bilateral Lower Extremity Edema
Authors: Sule Ceylan and Necati YilmazObjective Symmetrical bilateral lower extremity edema (BLEE) needs to be treated effectively. Finding the cause of this condition increases the success of treatment. Fluid increase in the interstitial space (FIIS) is always present as a cause or a result. Subcutaneously administered nanocolloid is transported by uptake by lymphatic pre-collectors, and this uptake takes place in the interstitium. We aimed to evaluate the interstitiu Read More

Calcific Tendinopathy Atypically Located Outside the Rotator Cuff: A Systematic Review
Authors: Federica Delbello, Paolo Spinnato and Maria Pilar Aparisi GomezBackground and Purpose Calcific tendinopathy is a common cause of painful shoulder easily identified with ultrasound or conventional radiography. Although the rotator cuff is by far the most common location of the disease and diagnostic or treatment strategies are well known in clinical practice, a lack of awareness characterizes the assessment of the other sites affected by this condition; consequently, the risk of undere Read More

A Rare Cause of Obstructive Jaundice and Pancreatitis; Lemmel's Syndrome
Authors: Serdar Aslan and Ramazan Orkun ÖnderIntroduction Lemmel’s syndrome is defined as obstructive jaundice due to a PDD in the absence of choledocholithiasis or a neoplasm. The most common cause is the presence of PDD which arise within 2-3 cm from the ampulla of Vater. Currently, there are very few case reports of this condition, which was first named in 1934 after Dr. Gerhard Lemmel. Case Presentation A 74-year-old female patient presented to the e Read More
