Myocardial bridging is defined as segmental engulfment of a major epicardial coronary artery by myocardial fibers, causing a systolic narrowing or milking effect of the coronary arterial segment. During systole, the intramuscular part of coronary artery is compressed by contraction of overbridging ventricular muscle, therefore blood flow distal to the lesion is impaired and angina pectoris or acute myocardial infarction may occur. We experienced a case of Non-Q myocardial infarction in a 42 years-old female patient with myocardial bridge at the proximal and middle part of left anterior descending coronary artery.

Sea anemone dermatitis, caused by the toxin of sea anemones (member of phylum Cnidaria), is characterized by erythematous papules, wheals, or vesicles, accompanied by pain and itching. A 25-year old woman presented with multiple erythematous papules on her right forearm, after contact with a sea anemone while scuba diving. She took both courses of an acute toxic reaction and a delayed allergic reaction.

Intravascular large cell lymphoma (angiotropic large cell lymphoma) is a rare, multifocal, intravascular neoplasm of lymphoid cells that preferentially involves the vasculature of the skin and central nervous system. We report a 33-year-old man who had asymptomatic purpuric patches on both thighs, left arm, and left flank. A biopsy specimen showed intravascular collections of tumor cells with irregular nuclear contour and prominent nucleoli. These cells were positive for CD45, CD20, but negative for CD3, and CD56. The clinicopathologic features and immunohistochemical profiles were diagnostic of intravasculr large B cell lymphoma.

BACKGROUND: Although scalp whorls and the anterior hairline are important parts for the morphology of the scalp hair pattern, only a few studies on them have been reported. OBJECTIVE: This study was performed to obtain data about the classification and incidence of various scalp whorl patterns, the average heights of the anterior hairlines, and the types of anterior hairlines and their incidence. METHOD: We evaluated the number, direction and location of the parietal scalp whorls, measured the heights of the frontal and temporal hairlines according to the 5 standard lines, and identified the shape of the anterior hairlines in 484 men and 171 women. RESULTS: Of the 655 subjects, 89.6% had single parietal scalp whorls, while 6.9% had double whorls. The single clockwise type was more common than the single counterclockwise types, and the location of single whorls were in the middle, right and left, in decreasing order of frequency. Of the double whorls, cases of the same direction were more common than those of opposite directions. The average height of the anterior hairline was higher in men than women. For the classification of the anterior hairline, the linear type was the most common in men and the round type more common in women. CONCLUSION: We describe the present results as a guideline for the further study of hair-related abnormalities and also for the esthetic design of hair transplantations.

Adenomatoid hyperplasia of the minor salivary glands is a rare clinicopathologic entity with an unknown etiology. The clinical features of the lesion are nodular, non-painful swellings, and the histologic features are aggregates of normal-appearing, salivary gland tissue, in excess of what would be anticipated for the anatomic site. This tumor is of significance because of its clinical resemblance to salivary gland tumors. Although this lesion may occur at any site on the oral mucosa, the labial mucosa is known to be the least common site. We herein report a rare case of adenomatous hyperplasia of the minor salivary glands located on the lower labial mucosa.

STUDY DESIGN: A prospective study. PURPOSE: To assess postoperative changes in cerebral glucose metabolism in anxiety patients with lumbar spinal stenosis (SS). OVERVIEW OF LITERATURE: Although an association between preoperative anxiety and abnormal cerebral glucose metabolism may exist, only a limited number of studies using F-18 fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography (FDG PET) have evaluated preoperative to postoperative changes in cerebral glucose metabolism in SS patients in detail. METHODS: The present study was designed to assess preoperative to postoperative changes in cerebral glucose metabolism in anxiety patients with SS. F-18 FDG PET with statistical parametric mapping analyses was used to compare preoperative and postoperative regional brain glucose metabolism in 18 SS patients. RESULTS: F-18 FDG PET scans showed postoperative activation of several brain clusters in gray matter. These included left parahippocampus, left cerebellar tonsil, left inferior semi-lunar lobule, and right cerebellar tonsil. Areas that were deactivated postoperatively were the right insula, left fusiform gyrus, left orbitofrontal cortex, left inferior frontal gyrus, left middle frontal gyrus, left precuneus, and left inferior frontal gyrus. CONCLUSIONS: SS patients with preoperative anxiety showed altered cerebral glucose metabolism at postoperative follow-up.
