S-100 protein (38) is a 20-kDa calcium-binding protein composed of two subunits, S-lOOa and S-IOOP, which are differentially expressed by individual human tissues. For example, S-100(a,a) is found in myocardial and skeletal muscle cells S-100(a,P) is found in glial cells, melanocytes, chondrocytes, and adnexal glands of the skin and S-100(P,P) is found in Schwann cells and Fangerhans cells of the skin (39). There are currently monoclonal antibodies... 

Also used in posttraumatic and postoperative pain, inflammation and swelling e.g. following dental or orthopaedic surgery, painful and/or inflammatory conditions in gynaecology e.g. primary dysmenorrhoea or adnexitis, in severe painful inflammatory infections of the ear, nose or throat e.g. pharyngotonsillitis, otitis etc. 

Yi Mu Cao specifically treats stagnation of blood in the Lower-Jiao and is often used as deputy to treat gynecological disorders, such as dysmenorrhea, amenorrhea and irregular menstruation. It is used frequently to clear heat and remove congealed blood from the Lower-Jiao, thus it is often used in acute and chronic infections and inflammations in that region, such as cervicitis and adnexitis.

A 25-year-old woman, Miss AK, presents at a walk-in centre with pelvic pain, specifically lower abdominal and post-coital bleeding. On examination the patient has mild fever and adnexal tenderness. Sexual history reveals a recent change of partner. Endocervical swabs are taken with initiation of immediate antibiotic treatment. Miss AK is told to return to surgery for review within 2 days if she is not getting better.

Adnation Attachment of one organ to another by its whole length. A term used in botany to describe the gills of agarics (mnshrooms and toadstools) see also Adnexed and Sinuate). 

The eyelid and adnexal tissues should be carefully examined for the presence of pimcture wounds, tramna, or infectious lesions of the skin. Facial tenderness, nasal discharge, and malodorous breath are signs of paranasal sinusitis. Focal medial canthal tenderness and tearing may indicate acute dacryocystitis. 

As previously stated,//, influenzae is no longer a major cause of cellulitis in children. However, when present, the condition is characterized by significant fever, leukocytosis, and unilateral hyperemia and edema of the eyelids. There is a sharply demarcated dark purple discoloration of the eyelid skin and adnexal area. Mild conjunctival hyperemia and chemosis may also occur. Unless the patient has received antibiotics, blood cultures are the most effective means of establishing the diagnosis. If meningeal signs are present, a lumbar puncture should be performed, because 12% to 25% of patients with Haemophilus preseptal or orbital cellulitis have concomitant meningitis.

Evaporative dysfunction is caused by a reduction in the lipid layer of the tear film. Most often, this condition is caused by MGD or blepharitis. MGD is traditionally conceptualized as a triad of meibomianitis (stagnated secretions within the meibomian glands), meibomian seborrhea (overabundance of meibomian secretions into the tear film), and seborrheic blepharitis (oily debris visible on the eyelashes and ocular adnexal surfeces). Additionally, we have become increasingly aware of the influence of male hormones, or androgens, on the health of the meibomian glands. Clinically significant androgen deficiency, which naturally occurs in women of menopausal age and men in... 

This chapter provides practical imormation regarding common corneal conditions that may require treatment. By nature of its anatomic proximity to and integration with other ocular and adnexal strnctnres, corneal abnormalities may result from diseases primary to the eyelids, conjunctiva, lacrimal system, episclera, and other tissues. The details of these conditions are not emphasized in this chapter thus the reader should refer to other appropriate chapters for this imormation. 

Perihepatitis acuta gonorrhoica Of special relevance is a fibrinous inflammation of the subphrenic space without abscess formation, occurring as a sequel of gonorrhoeal adnexitis in women. It is also called the Fitz-Hugh-Curtis syndrome (A.H. Curtis, 1932 T. Fitz-Hugh, 1934),... 

Poljrvidone storage disease can easily be diagnosed by its histopathological features. Skin biopsy specimens show a variable number of characteristic blue-gray vacuolated cells around blood vessels and adnexal structures, and stain positively with mucicarmine, colloidal iron, and alkaline Congo red and negatively with periodic acid Schiff and Alcian blue. 

Gills are olive brown to blackish purple brown in color, with the edges often remaining white, gill spacing is quite crowded gill attachment is either roughly linear or mostly adnexed up to 3. 5 mm wide attached at the stem only, fully detached later on. 

Topical instillation is the principal route of ophthalmic drug delivery in the horse. It is used in the treatment of adnexal diseases, such as blepharitis and mebomiaiutis, and diseases of the ocular surfaces, such as conjunctivitis, superficial keratitis and comeal ulceration. Depending upon their physicochemical formulation, some drugs traverse the intact conjimctival and comeal epithelial barrier. This results in therapeutic levels within the comeal stroma and anterior chamber, facilitating the topical treatment of comeal stromal...

This route should be used in the treatment of adnexal and anterior segment disease.
