Review
Pathogenesis of edema is in depth considered based on Starling's rule on capillary fluid dynamics. Edema can be divided into 4 types based on the mechanisms causing edema: increased capillary hydrostatic pressure, decreased plasma oncotic pressure, enhanced hydraulic permeability of capillary walls, and lymphatic obstruction. Each of the types can be further divided into generalized and local forms. Edema, defined as the expansion of interstitial fluid compartment, is initiated by imbalance of Starling forces across capillary walls between plasma and interstitium, but is maintained by enhanced sodium reabsorption from renal tubules.

A colony of frogs experienced excessive mortality due to glomerulonephritis. The presenting symptom in all cases was bloating due to hydrocoelom and anasarca. Mycobacteria sp was suspected to be a source of chronic antigenic stimulation that resulted in the glomerulonephritis. The prognosis was grave once symptoms appeared. Histopathology from some of the affected frogs is described, and mycobacterial disease in amphibians is discussed.

Lower extremity edema is a common complaint of patients across all medical specialties. This is a wide group of conditions, ranging from relatively minor conditions such as false swelling in lipedema to life-threatening conditions such as heart failure and nephrotic syndrome. The most common cause of chronic edema is chronic venous disease. High-quality differential diagnosis aims to determine the etiology of edema and initiate targeted treatment.

The pulmonary hypoplasia and anasarca syndrome (PHA) is a congenital lethal disorder, which until now has been reported in cattle and sheep. PHA is characterized by extensive subcutaneous fetal edema combined with hypoplasia or aplasia of the lungs and dysplasia of the lymphatic system. PHA is assumed to be of genetic etiology. This study presents the occurrence of PHA in two different cattle breeds and their genetic causation. Two PHA cases from one sire were observed in Slovenian Cika cattle. Under the assumption of monogenic inheritance, genome-wide homozygosity mapping scaled down the critical regions to 3% of the bovine genome including a 43.6 Mb-sized segment on chromosome 6. Whole-genome sequencing of one case, variant filtering against controls and genotyping of a larger cohort of Cika cattle led to the detection of a likely pathogenic protein-changing variant perfectly associated with the disease: a missense variant on chromosome 6 in ADAMTS3 (NM_001192797.1: c.1222C>T), which affects an evolutionary conserved residue (NP_001179726.1: p.(His408Tyr)). A single PHA case was found in Danish Holstein cattle and was whole-genome sequenced along with its parents. However, as there was no plausible private protein-changing variant, mining for structural variation revealed a likely pathogenic trisomy of the entire chromosome 20. The identified ADAMTS3 associated missense variant and the trisomy 20 are two different genetic causes, which shows a compelling genetic heterogeneity for bovine PHA.

A 54-year-old African-American man presented with 2 years of progressively worsening dyspnea and anasarca. Over the past 6 months he gained 30 lbs with worsening lower extremity, abdominal wall, and scrotal edema. A recent workup for cardiac, renal, and liver disease, including two-dimensional echocardiogram, liver and renal function tests, and abdominal ultrasound, was unremarkable. He reported a 15-pack year history of smoking and quit 3 years ago. Chest radiograph at that time revealed bilateral pleural effusions that were both reportedly milky in appearance when drained by thoracenteses.

Review
Approaching the patient with unilateral leg swelling presents a challenge to the physician in ambulatory practice. Contributing to the difficulty is the lack of studies that have assessed a population of patients presenting with unilateral leg swelling. The purpose of this article is to discuss unilateral leg swelling with respect to the chronicity of the presentation and the most common differential diagnoses based on a review of the current literature and personal clinical experience.
