is kept alive on ICU for a prolonged period before death, it is possible that the amniotic fluid emboli may have resorbed by the time of autopsy. • Fetal anucleate squamous cells, lanugo hairs and meconium (mucin with bile breakdown pigment) can be seen in pulmonary arterial branches on haematoxylin and eosin staining, usually numerous foci per section. The lanugo hairs will also polarise

(a complication of rapid re-feeding treatment). * Neurological — cognitive impairment, seizures (rarely). * Renal — kidney stones and acute or chronic kidney disease (chronic volume depletion can lead to the development of kidney disease). * Dental — erosion of tooth enamel from vomiting. * Dermatological — dry skin, alopecia, lanugo hair (fine, white hairs), and chilblains. * Obstetric and gynaecological

the feature of the local skin, and the number of lanugo and terminal hair. H&E staining was performed to determine the degree of pathological damage to the skin. ELISA was performed to detect levels of interleukin-6 (IL-6), tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) and interferon-γ (IFN-γ) in mice serum. Flow cytometry was carried out to analyze the CD4CD25FOXP3, CD4 and CD8 of skin tissue. And the levels of CD4

components of cows, horses, and dogs were used. Animal remedies were mostly used for healing furuncles, scrofula, frostbite, hernia, and lanugo. The most diversely used mineral remedy was salt. Karelians and Russians are very disproportionally represented in the literature due to the lack of interest in the folk medicine of Russians in Karelia, in contrast to that of Karelians. The disparity does not allow

will reveal fetal squamous cells and hair (lanugo) in the maternal pulmonary circulation.In the future, the measurement of complement, which may be activated following AFE, or the fetal antigen sialyl-Tn may help to diagnose the condition. However, no one test can confirm or disprove the diagnosis of AFE[6].ManagementAlthough the diagnosis of AFE may be confused with other causes of collapse, effective

of intestinal epithelial cells, lanugo, mucus, and intestinal secretions (eg, bile. Water is the major liquid constituent, comprising 85-95% of meconium; the remaining 5-15% of ingredients consists of solid constituents, primarily intestinal secretions, mucosal cells, and solid elements of swallowed amniotic fluid, such as proteins and lipids.Meconium is sterile and does not contain bacteria, which

, spironolactone, or flutamide. [7] Whether choosing to treat medically or with any of the aforementioned methods of hair removal, patients must understand that treatment is long-term and must be continued to maintain low levels of visible hair.HypertrichosisA hair growth pattern in a nonandrogen-dependent pattern is termed hypertrichosis and may involve vellus, terminal, or lanugo type hair. This may

describes the identification via whole-exome sequencing of five different mutations in the gene LSS in three unrelated families with unexplained, potentially autosomal-recessive HS. Affected individuals showed sparse to absent lanugo-like scalp hair, sparse and brittle eyebrows, and sparse eyelashes and body hair. LSS encodes lanosterol synthase (LSS), which is a key enzyme in the cholesterol biosynthetic

A Mutation in INSR in a Child Presenting with Severe Acanthosis Nigricans Rabson-Mendenhall syndrome (RMS) is an autosomal recessive disorder due to mutations in the insulin receptor gene (INSR) which is mapped to 19p13.2. RMS is characterized by acanthosis nigricans, generalized lanugo, tooth and nail dysplasia, high nasal bridge, and growth retardation. A 5-year-old female patient was referred due to acanthosis nigricans and generalized lanugo. On her physical examination, severe acanthosis nigricans of the neck, axillae, the external genitalia and antecubital regions, generalized lanugo, mildly decreased subcutaneous fat, dysmorphic facial features, and polydactyly on her left hand were noted. Insulin resistance and impaired glucose tolerance were found. Sequence analysis of the INSR

section at thirty-three weeks of gestation and expired within one hour of birth. Postmortem examination exhibited numerous features associated with Trisomy 18 including lanugo on the torso and arms, micrognathia, microstomia, left low-set ear with small flat pinna, closed ear canal, clenched fists with overlapping fingers, rocker-bottom feet, narrow pelvis, large right diaphragmatic hernia and left

, and six sittings were completed for every patient. Hair loss reduced with evidence of new hair growth. Digital image analysis showed an overall improvement in hair density and quality as lanugo-like hair became thicker, normal hair. An improvement in hair density, quality and thickness on trichoscopy was noted. Our data suggest that PRP injections have therapeutic effect on male pattern hair loss

for at least an hour after birth due to the physiological benefits for both infant and mother. There is limited research into the underlying mechanism behind the physiological benefits of touch, either in-utero or post-partum; however, it is hypothesised that foetal movements cause the amniotic fluid to elicit movement of lanugo (fine hair), which activates specific nerve fibres - C-Tactile afferents (CTs

ringed seals may be at risk of developing health and reproductive problems. According to mass balance calculations, the pups are exposed to considerable amounts (μg/d) of mercury during gestation, although lactation is their main exposure route. In lanugo pups, Hg concentrates in the hair, and molting serves as a main detoxification route. For other age groups, demethylation followed by the formation
