  FATTY LIVER   (Site not responding. Last check: )
Fatty liver is the accumulation of fat in liver cells.
Simple fatty liver is not a disease, since it does not damage the liver, but is a condition that can be identified by taking a sample of liver tissue (liver biopsy) and examining it under a microscope.
Evidence suggests that while fatty liver is usually present in patients with excessive intake of alcohol, fatty liver does not by itself lead up to the development of alcoholic hepatitis or alcoholic cirrhosis.

Fatty tissue is observed in the slightly dilated infundibular region (I) (arrow in a) and in the conspicuous trabeculae of the anterior wall (arrow in b) and inferior wall (solid arrow in c) of the right ventricle (RV).
Fatty tissue is also noted in the right ventricular aspect of the ventricular septum (arrowheads in b and c) and in the apex of the slightly dilated left ventricle (LV) (open arrow in c); the fat in the left ventricle is continuous with the fat in the ventricular septum.
Fatty infiltration is prominent in the subepicardial regions of the right and left ventricular walls (arrows in f and i) and in the subendocardial region of the ventricular septum with continuation to the interventricular sulcus (arrowheads in h).

The dermis and hypodermis connective tissue, which can be compared to a "gel" becomes more fluid with the first few mobilizing maneuvers.
Tissues become transformed, and the result is a thinner dermis and hypodermis.

Fatty change can occur as adaptive change in response to excess mobilization of fats with presentation of an increased load of fatty acids to the tissue.
Given the history that the tissue was obtained from a chronic alcoholic and given the fact that acute and chronic alcohol ingestion is known to cause injury and derangement of hepatocytes, this probably represents fatty degeneration rather than fatty infiltration.
Irreversible injury of tissue with subsequent coagulation necrosis due to marked impairment in blood flow (severe ischemia) or severe reduction in oxygenation (severe hypoxia or anoxia) of the tissue.

Strands of fibrous tissue connect the skin to deeper tissue layers and also separate compartments that contain fat cells.
The researchers concluded: (a) certain characteristics of skin make women more prone than men to develop cellulite; (b) the process is diffuse rather than localized; and (3) there were no significant differences in the appearance or function of the fatty tissue or the regional blood flow between affected and unaffected sites within individuals [2].
The company had claimed that weight could be immediately controlled by without dieting or watching calories by eliminating waste such as fatty tissues, cellulite, toxins, mucus, hardened fecal matter and harmful drug residues [15].

 Breasts-male
True breast tissue in males is typically a small localized lump located immediately under the nipple that is more firm than the surrounding fatty tissue.
For true gynecomastia, the breast tissue is dense and fibrous and therefore difficult to penetrate and remove with a liposuction cannula.
Microcannulas are effective in removing both breast tissue and fatty tissue from the normal male breast.

The breast is made up mainly of lobules (milk-producing glands in women), ducts (tiny tubes that carry the milk from the lobules to the nipple in women), and stroma (fatty tissue and connective tissue surrounding the ducts and lobules, blood vessels, and lymphatic vessels).
As in most tissues of the body, fluids are circulated to and from the breast by 2 main forms of channels.
Because this is glandular tissue, they are called adenocarcinomas, a term applied to cancers of glandular tissue anywhere in the body.

 Lupus-Fatty tissue around heart due to predisone therapy
Extensive infiltration of the heart muscle with fatty tissue could lead to congestive heart failure, but this would not be a common occurrence.
Cessation of therapy with prednisone would likely stop the accumulation of fatty tissue in the heart muscle, but such a change in therapy would have to be carefully weighed against the risk of progression of the lupus.
Regarding the size of your heart, if it is in fact enlarged, this may be due to several causes: hypertension leading to left ventricular hypertrophy, dilated cardiomyopathy, or enlargement of the heart's pumping chamber, which may occur as a result of therapy for lupus, and secondary to valvular leakage which sometimes occurs with lupus itself.

 M. D. Anderson Cancer Center - Autologous Tissue-Based Breast Reconstruction
Autologous tissue-based reconstruction involves the use of a flap, an area of skin and fatty tissue that is removed from a flap donor site and transferred to the chest to reconstruct the missing breast.
Women who have even a small amount of excess tissue in the lower abdomen can feel how similar it is to a breast simply by bending forward and gently massaging that skin between their fingers.
Most important, because autologous tissue does not come from a box on a shelf but from the patient’s own body, the surgery is more complex than implant-based reconstruction and may lead to complications that can render the patient worse off than she was before the breast reconstruction was attempted.

Liposarcomas are malignant tumors that arise from adipocytes.
Fatty tumors of the retroperitoneum or in intramuscular locations should be considered to be potential liposarcomas until proven otherwise.
It must be differentiated from a similar benign tumor, a mammary hamartoma, and the pseudolipoma (a soft tissue mass that may surround a small scirrhous cancer).

 Women Maintaining Younger-Looking Breasts
Maintaining denser breast tissue may be due to changes in childbearing patterns -- women starting their families later or not having children at all -- according to researcher Fred van der Horst, MD. Women who have given birth develop more fatty breast tissue than childless women, the researchers say.
In women with dense breast tissue, only 59% of those who had had cancer were accurately diagnosed by mammography.
Although menopausal hormone therapy may contribute to an increase in breast tissue density, van der Horst says the new breast tissue patterns could not be solely attributed to the women's use of hormones.
