Subungual Ganglion Cyst Mimicking Glomus Tumor

Subungual masses accompanying nail deformity are of common occurrence and uniquely confirmed by histopathologic examination postoperatively. Although glomus tumor is most frequently diagnosed with its specific clinical triad, other rarer diagnoses have also been reported. Though ganglion cysts are predominantly found around the distal phalangeal joint as a mucous cyst and myxoid cyst, they might also appear as a subungual mass accompanied by nail deformity thereby mimicking the glomus tumor. A 54-year-old woman visited our outpatient clinic with nail deformity and pain on the tip of the right thumb. She had a history of nail root injury on her right thumb which occurred 3 months back at a nail shop. Physical examination revealed a convex point with tenderness on the right thumbnail. Doppler ultrasonography revealed the presence of 0.43×0.26×0.53 cm3 sized non-specific cystic lesion with hypoechogenicity and no abnormal vascularity. Complete excision of the cyst was performed and histopathology revealed a ganglion cyst. Subungual ganglion cyst is rarely occurred and known to be usually asymptomatic. Herein, we report a case of ganglion cyst of subungual area which was mistakenly diagnosed as a glomus tumor preoperatively.

Decomposition of indoor VOC pollutants using non-thermal plasma with gas recycling

Volatile organic compounds in the indoor environment of small businesses (painting workshops, hair salons, nail shops, printing shops, laundries etc.) may result in adverse health effects for both workers and customers. Similarly, VOCs identified in these small businesses are included in the list of ozone precursors that harm the environment. We used a non-thermal plasma reactor with gas recycling to study the decomposition of dilute concentrations of VOCs in air. The non-thermal plasma reactor was a surface dielectric barrier discharge (surface DBD) type, and the target gases were methyl ethyl ketone, toluene and n-hexane at concentrations of 20, 50 and 100 ppmv. Highest decomposition efficiency (97%) was achieved by treating n-hexane at 20 ppmv. Gas recycling had an almost negligible effect during pollutant treatment at varying recycling rates (0-50%). Increasing the input energy resulted in higher decomposition efficiency, but had an inverse effect on the energy yield of the system. Concentrations of CO2 and ozone increased linearly with the increase of energy input in the system. Consumption of ozone for other applications, such as water treatment or coupling the DBD system with an appropriate catalyst, may address this concern.
