Pyoderma gangrenosum and hairy cell leukemia
Abstract:
Hairy cell leukemia (HCL) is an uncommon hematologic malignancy in which simultaneous cutaneous disturbances of various types have been reported. We report a case of a 62-year-old man with HCL who developed pyoderma gangrenosum (PG) at the site of incision for splenectomy. PG has been reported previously in a patient with HCL. Since splenectomy is important in the treatment of HCL, it is important for the clinician to know that surgical wound dehiscence may not be due to poor technique nor infection, but rather to pathergy.

Water
The polarity of the water molecule and its resulting hydrogen bonding makes water a unique substance with special properties that are intimately tied to the processes of life. Life originally evolved in an aqueous environment, and most of an organism’s cellular chemistry and metabolism occur inside the aqueous contents of the cell’s cytoplasm. Special properties of water are its high heat capacity...
