If you notice a rash or spot on your penis, your mind may go straight to the worst-case scenario. Penile cancer or a sexually transmitted infection (STI) may be the first things you think of. Most of the time, an abnormal spot or bump on your penis is not serious. Still, it is important to see your healthcare provider. Here are some of the causes your healthcare provider may look for. This article discusses some of the causes of rashes and spots on the penis, including infectious and non-infectious conditions. Verywell / Emily Roberts Non-Infectious Causes of Spots on the Penis Non-infectious means you cannot get the condition from someone else or pass it on. These conditions tend to be less serious. Still, you should not ignore your condition just because it is non-infectious. Any of these conditions can lead to scarring of the penis. There may be redness, skin cracks, and tender, sore areas. Uncircumcised penises are mor

Retroperitoneal hemorrhage (RPH) following transfemoral arterial access is a dreaded complication needing immediate management. A 70-year-old female with inferior wall myocardial infarction developed hemodynamic instability following transfemoral percutaneous coronary intervention. The evaluation revealed an RPH due to an iatrogenic guidewire-related perforation of the external iliac artery. This was successfully managed with the deployment of a custom, a self-made covered stent. In this report, we describe our method of creating and deploying this self-made stent and discuss potential issues compared to commercially available covered stent systems. Introduction Vascular complications after trans-femoral arterial access (TFA) can range from local or expanding groin hematoma, arterio-venous fistula, and pseudoaneurysm to retroperitoneal hemorrhage (RPH) [1]. RPH is a rare, catastrophic complication following TFA. RPH causes severe lower abdominal and groin pain, hemod

Your skin's health and appearance shifts all the time depending on your environment, lifestyle, and health conditions, among other factors. Sometimes skin problems have an obvious cause, like sunburn or a mosquito bite. But other times rashes or dots appear on your skin that are harder to identify. Petechiae are red, purple, or brown dots on the skin that are generally painless and itch-free. These dots form when your tiniest blood vessels, called capillaries, break and leak blood under the skin. This blood pools under the surface, creating the appearance of spots. Petechiae aren't considered a medical condition on their own. They're often a symptom of another underlying health problem, such as infection, allergic reaction, or autoimmune disease. In this article, we will explore some common potential causes of petechiae, symptoms to watch out for, and when to see a doctor. You can develop petechiae for a number of different reasons, including injuries and infection. In many

Abstract This cross-sectional study aimed to explore the combined effects of depression and obesity on ischemic heart disease and its subtypes. Data from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey 2007–2018 were used. A total of 29,050 participants aged 20 years or older were included in the analyses. Logistic regression models and restricted cubic spline models were applied to evaluate the associations between depression symptom and ischemic heart disease. There were significant correlations between depressive symptoms and ischemic heart disease [OR and 95% CI 2.44 (1.91, 3.10)] and its subtypes: coronary heart disease [2.32 (1.67, 3.23)], heart attack [2.18 (1.71, 2.78)], and angina [2.72 (1.96, 3.79)].The synergistic effects of depression with obesity (BMI ≥ 30) and central obesity (waist ≥ 102/88 cm for men/women) on ischemic heart disease were estimated and expressed using the relative excess risk due to interaction (RERI) and the attributable proportio
