Indian Journal of Dermatology, Venereology and Leprology
|February 18, 2017
Summary
This report details a rare case of linear scleroderma, a connective tissue disease, presenting with unilateral Raynaud
Area of Science:
- Dermatology
- Rheumatology
- Connective Tissue Diseases
Background:
- Linear scleroderma is a localized form of scleroderma.
- Raynaud's phenomenon involves blood vessel spasms in extremities.
Observation:
- A specific case of linear scleroderma was observed.
- The patient exhibited unilateral Raynaud's phenomenon.
Findings:
- The case highlights a co-occurrence of linear scleroderma and unilateral Raynaud's phenomenon.
- This presentation is uncommon in clinical literature.
Implications:
- Understanding this association may improve diagnostic approaches.
- Further research is warranted into the pathophysiology of this combined presentation.
- This case contributes to the spectrum of scleroderma manifestations.

Disorders of the Autonomic Nervous System
1.8K
The autonomic nervous system (ANS) is an intricate network of nerves that controls functions such as the regulation of heart rate, digestion, and blood pressure regulation. When this system malfunctions, it can lead to various disorders that affect multiple bodily functions. One common feature of many autonomic disorders is the involvement of smooth blood vessels, which play a crucial role in regulating blood flow throughout the body.

Rheumatic Heart Disease I: Introduction
699
Rheumatic heart disease or RHD is a chronic condition that results from rheumatic fever, causing permanent damage to the heart valves.Etiology and Risk FactorsIt primarily arises from rheumatic fever, an inflammatory disease that can develop after untreated or inadequately treated group A streptococcal (GAS) pharyngitis. Streptococcus spreads through direct contact with oral or respiratory secretions. While the bacteria are the causative agents, factors like malnutrition, overcrowding, poor...

Peripheral Arterial Disease II: Clinical Manifestations and Diagnostic Evaluation
564
Clinical manifestationsPeripheral Arterial Disease (PAD) manifests through a range of symptoms, from the characteristic intermittent claudication to atypical presentations and severe complications in advanced stages. Intermittent claudication, a hallmark symptom of PAD, presents as exercise-induced muscle pain that typically resolves within minutes of rest. This pain is reproducible and stems from inadequate blood flow, leading to the accumulation of lactic acid produced during anaerobic...

Atherosclerosis I: Introduction
1.7K
Atherosclerosis is a progressive disorder characterized by the buildup of plaques on the arterial inner wall, causing them to narrow and harden over time. These plaques comprise lipids, calcium, blood components, carbohydrates, and fibrous tissue. The process primarily affects the intima of large and medium-sized arteries, reducing blood flow in any artery.Etiology and risk factorsThe cause of atherosclerosis is multifactorial, involving a complex interplay among endothelial injury, lipid...

Atherosclerosis II: Clinical Manifestations and Diagnostic Tests
675
Atherosclerosis is a progressive disorder that leads to the thickening and narrowing of arterial walls due to plaque buildup. This condition can cause various symptoms depending on the arteries affected:Coronary Artery Disease (CAD): This condition affects the coronary arteries and may lead to chest pain (angina), shortness of breath (dyspnea), heart attacks, and other heart disease symptoms.Cerebrovascular Disease: This affects blood flow to the brain, causing transient ischemic attacks (TIAs)...

Cardiomyopathy IV: Restrictive Cardiomyopathy
694
Restrictive cardiomyopathy (RCM) is a rare heart muscle disease characterized by impaired ventricular filling due to stiffened ventricular walls, leading to significant diastolic dysfunction.EtiologyRestrictive cardiomyopathy can arise from both inherited and acquired diseases, many of which are systemic. It is categorized into four main types: infiltrative, storage, non-infiltrative, and endomyocardial diseases.Infiltrative diseases, such as amyloidosis, lead to RCM by depositing amyloid...
