Fibrotic changes

Idiopathic sclerosing mesenteritis (ISM) is an extremely rare condition in which mesenteric adipose tissue undergoes necrotic and fibrotic changes. It is also known as “retractile mesenteritis”, “mesenteric panniculitis” or “fat necrosis of the mesentery”.

Some patients with interstitial pneumonia with autoimmune features (IPAF) showed a progressive course despite therapy. This study aimed to evaluate whether serial changes in the serum levels of surfactant protein-A (SP-A) and Krebs von den Lungen-6 (KL-6) can predict disease progression.

Frozen shoulder is a common yet poorly understood musculoskeletal condition, which for many, is associated with substantial and protracted morbidity. Understanding the pathology associated with this condition may help to improve management.

Histologic observations support two mechanisms for permanent hair reduction: miniaturization of coarse hair follicles to vellus-like hair follicles, and destruction of the hair follicle with gran- ulomatous degeneration, leaving a fibrotic remnant. Clinically, both of these mechanisms produced reduction in hair. The study design used a fixed set of fluence-pulse-width combinations in each patient, regard- less of skin type. If skin type and color had been matched to appropriate fluences, the inci- dence of side effects could have been reduced. Epidermal damage was seen in 6% of cases.

Histological assessment showed that independently of the etiological factor involved, changes of the mucosa refer both to the gingival epithelium and the lamina propria (Banita et al., 2008, 2011). There is now general agreement that all gingival overgrowth lesions contain fibrotic or expanded connective tissue with various levels of inflammation and an enlarged gingival epithelium. As soon as plaque accumulates adjacent to the gingival margin, inflammatory cells infiltrate in the subjacent connective tissue and initiate its destruction.
