Atherosclerosis is a very common form of arteriosclerosis in which deposits of fatty plaques (atheromas) are formed within the lining of the large and medium sized arteries. The great medical importance of atherosclerosis is due to its predilection for coronary, cerebral, and peripheral arteries. Its complications are the major cause of death in the united states; death classified as resulting from coronary artery disease represent 33 % of deaths from all causes, and cerebral vascular disease is the third most common cause of death in the United State after heart disease and cancer.

Pityriasis Rosea, An Erythematosquamous DermatosisPityriasis Rosea is an erythematosquamous dermatosis. It is often misdiagnosesd as mycosis. Questioning of patients often reveals that they have worn new articles of clothing, unwashed, some days or weeks before the onset of the condition. One wonders, however, whether one would not get much the same answers from any patient questioned in the same way. Pityriasis rosea generally begins insidiously with a nummular primary lesion (primary plaque), often at the side of the trunk. The lesion may, however, occur on other parts of the body. Each has a diameter of about 1 to 5 cm, is red, scaling, with a tendency to form annuli by healing of the center with brownish discoloration (pseudoatrophy). |

The Knowledge About InsulinLocal reactions to insulin injections are uncommon, when they do occur they are more likely to be due to sensitivity to the added preservatives (metacresol, phenol or methylhydroxybenzoate) than to the insulin. A trial of insulin with a different preservative may solve this problem. Formal identification of the preservative is possible using preservative-only preparations available from the manufacturers. Cold-sensitivity urticaria should also be considered if the patient develops a local reaction on using a vial directly from the refrigerator. |
