Abstract
Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is recognised to be a prothrombotic state and an increased risk of venous thrombosis has been documented with IBD. However, reports of superficial venous thrombosis are less common, and there is a degree of uncertainty in the appropriate management of such patients. We report about a 55-year-old lady who presented with a flare of ulcerative colitis when cyclosporine (started for a previous episode of acute severe ulcerative colitis) was stopped. This flare was associated with the appearance of cord-like structures on the right lateral abdominal wall, which were confirmed to be thrombosed veins consistent with Mondor's disease. The patient did not have additional predisposing factors and carcinoma breast was excluded.

Abstract
Superficial thrombophlebitis is one of the most significant complications of superficial vein thrombosis. Rapid imaging and mapping with high resolution is particularly important for accurate diagnosis so as to carry out treatment as soon as possible. Ultrasound imaging technology has been used extensively because of the low-cost, minimal invasiveness, and convenient application in clinical practice. And the ultrasonic couplant is an essential component in ultrasound examination. However, when imaging superficial structures, traditional liquid ultrasonic couplants often produce inadequate results. In this study, we investigate whether a hydrogel membrane can be used to improve the imaging of superficial vessels. To this end, we generated a polyacrylamide-bacterial nanocellulose hydrogel membrane (PAM-BC) that efficiently forms at 60 °C in only 10 min by redox polymerization. With PAM-BC-2.5, it was possible to acquire high resolution intravascular ultrasound images to assess superficial vessels in humans and the superficial vasculature in rats and miniature pigs using various brands of ultrasound instruments. The PAM-BCs represent a new, solid ultrasonic membrane which is suitable for diagnosing disease in superficial vessels.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To describe the association of bodybuilding abdominal exercise with the development of superficial sclerosing thrombophlebitis of the anterolateral thoracoabdominal wall. DESIGN A single case study. SETTING University-affiliated regional community hospital. CASE DESCRIPTION A 54-year-old man presented with an otherwise unremarkable past medical history 4 weeks after the start of left-sided chest discomfort. He had undergone orthopedic surgery of the right shoulder three months earlier. Two months after surgery, he had re-started bodybuilding with thoracoabdominal training. Soon thereafter, he noted a painful induration at the left side of his trunk. Doppler and duplex sonography revealed complete venous occlusion compatible with sclerosing thrombophlebitis leading to a palpable, subcutaneous, cord-like lesion on the left side of his trunk. Physical examination and routine laboratory findings were normal. The lesion spontaneously resolved over a course of 3 months. CONCLUSIONS Mondor's disease of the subcutaneous veins of the chest wall which has been associated with breast or axillary surgery, malignant and systemic diseases can also appear in subjects performing intense thoracoabdominal exercise training. Although it requires only symptomatic therapy, physicians and therapists must be aware of the existence of this disease because, although benign and self-limiting, malignant and systemic diseases need to be ruled out.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Mondor's disease is a rare superficial thrombophlebitis, historically involving the thoracic venous system of women. However, it can occur in both gender and all over the skin. CASE REPORT We report a 40-year-old man with type one diabetes who presented with a thrombosis of the superficial dorsal vein of the penis that he treated as a fungal infection. Treatment with non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs and low molecular weight heparin contributed to a favorable outcome in 2 weeks. CONCLUSION Pathogenesis and treatment of Mondor's disease remain incompletely dominated. Some predisposing factors have been highlighted in the literature. It might be interesting to add diabetes, due to its frequent pelvic problems leading to a potential venous inflammatory trigger.
