Subcutaneous scalp nodule as the presenting symptom of systemic light-chain amyloidosis

Dermatology Practical & Conceptual, 2018
We present a case of subcutaneous nodular amyloidosis mimicking a pilar cyst. Further evaluation led to the diagnosis of malignant systemic light-chain amyloidosis. The epidemiology and histopathological features of light-chain amyloidosis with cutaneous

A Case of Systemic Amyloidosis Diagnosed After Excision of a Cutaneous Tumour of the Buttocks

JEADV Clinical Practice, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT A 72‐year‐old Japanese man was referred to our hospital with two tumours on the buttocks. Two solitary, 2.5 × 1.5 cm‐sized, dark brown, well‐demarcated elevated plaques were observed, one on each side of the gluteal cleft, and dermoscopic examination showed comedo‐like openings, multiple milia‐like cysts, and a cerebriform pattern with ...

Charting the course of Sjögren's disease: A historical analysis of scientific progress

European Journal of Oral Sciences, EarlyView.
Abstract Sjögren's disease (SjD) bears the name of the Swedish ophthalmologist Henrik Sjögren. His 1933 doctoral thesis on keratoconjunctivitis sicca ignited interest, yet much remains under debate. SjD is an autoimmune disorder that primarily affects the exocrine glands, particularly the salivary and lacrimal glands, leading to a dryness of the eyes ...

Constrictions and shear stress are key determinants of amyloidogenic light chain (AL) amyloidosis

The FEBS Journal, EarlyView.
In this study, we investigate how flow constrictions and shear stress trigger cardiac antibody light chain (AL) fibril formation and deposition. We mimic the mechanical forces exerted by the heart and the microvasculature network using a mini‐peristaltic pump setup and a grid‐type microchannel network, respectively.

Role of FibroScan in evaluating hepatic involvement in systemic amyloidosis: a single‐centre prospective pilot study

Internal Medicine Journal, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Amyloidosis encompasses a group of diseases characterised by extracellular deposition of misfolded protein fibrils, potentially leading to organ dysfunction. Liver involvement occurs via direct amyloid infiltration, common in immunoglobulin light chain (AL) amyloidosis, or congestive hepatopathy, more typical in transthyretin (ATTR)

Feasibility, Safety, and Efficacy of Pulsed Field Ablation for Ventricular Arrhythmias: Insights From a Large Health System Registry in the United States

Journal of Cardiovascular Electrophysiology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Pulsed field ablation (PFA) is an emerging non‐thermal ablation modality with proven safety in atrial arrhythmia ablation. However, data on its performance for ventricular arrhythmias (VA) remain limited. Objective To evaluate the feasibility, safety, and efficacy of PFA for complex VA in a multicenter real‐world US registry ...
