Hundreds of diseases impact the body’s connective tissue. Some connective tissue disorders result from an infection, such as cellulitis, while environmental factors may cause others. Injuries or scarring after trauma can also cause connective tissue disorders. Others, such asEhlers-Danlos syndromeandM...
A wide variety of quite different diseases are discussed in this chapter. Their one unifying feature is abnormalities of the dermis, both quantitative, such as atrophy or hypertrophy, and qualitative with abnormal collagen, elastin, fibroblasts and ground substance. At the same time such disorders t...

Background The association between connective tissue diseases (CTDs), including rheumatoid arthritis (RA), systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), and scleroderma, and complications following aesthetic surgery is under-investigated. We hypothesized that the risk of complications following aesthetic surgery was ...
