Ischemic colitis and malignant atrophic papulosis.

A 37-year old male with a history of idiopathic nephrotic syndrome, hypertension, severe headaches and transient ischemic attacks developed ischemic colitis with stricture formation of the spelnic flexure. Eschemic changes were secondary to vascular lesions involving the middle colic artery and mulitple smaller arteries and arterioles. The vascular lesion is localized to the intimal layer with proliferation of spindle-shaped cells indentical to the gastrointestinal lesion of malignant atrophic papulosis (Degos' disease). The patient had no skin biopsy, or history of skin lesions. This case represents ischemic colitis in a patient with malignant atrophic papulosis with either absent or unrecognized skin lesions.

Violence and Latino youth: prevention and methodological issues.

Latino communities bear a disproportionate share of violence-related morbidity and mortality, yet little attention has been given to ethnic-cultural differences and their implications for violence prevention research and health promotion efforts. To date, much of what is known about violence among Latinos is based on regional homicide studies. Little formal data exist that assess and substantiate what is known about Latino cultures and their implications for the study of all aspects of violence, particularly prevention. This paper presents an overview of the scope of homicide and intentional injuries in Latino communities, reviews risk factors for intentional injuries, and discusses the implications of ethnic-specific factors for violence prevention and research efforts. Data collection and methodological issues and their implications for violence prevention research and health promotion efforts among Latino populations are specifically addressed.
