nt patient care based on pragmatic clinical trials. The use of data science in this context is becoming increasingly feasible in part thanks to the swift developments in OSS.
Healthcare is quickly becoming data-dependent, and data science is a discipline that holds the promise of contributing to the development of personalized medicine, although nephrology still lags behind in this process. The key idea is to ensure that data will guide medical decisions based on individual patient characteristics rather than on averages over a whole population usually based on randomized controlled trials that excluded kidney disease patients. Furthermore, there is increasing interest in obtaining data about the effectiveness of available treatments in current patient care based on pragmatic clinical trials. The use of data science in this context is becoming increasingly feasible in part thanks to the swift developments in OSS.
Vismodegib is the first-in-class inhibitor of the sonic hedgehog pathway useful in the treatment of locally advanced or metastatic basal cell carcinoma (BCC) that is not amenable to surgery and radiation therapy. Common adverse events of vismodegib, probably mechanism related, include alopecia (58%) as a reversible side effect.

We report 2 cases of patients receiving vismodegib for the treatment of locally advanced BCCs that developed alopecia during treatment and describe clinical, dermoscopic, and reflectance confocal microscopy (RCM) features of this adverse event.

Alopecia is one of the most distressing adverse events leading to vismodegib discontinuations. To our knowledge, these are the first descriptions of RCM dermoscopy in vismodegib-induced alopecia. Trichoscopy and confocal microscopy are essential to monitoring vismodegib hair loss and the response to the treatment.

Frontal fibrosing alopecia (FFA) is a lymphocytic primary cicatricial alopecia typically involving the frontotemporal hairline. It may be associated with the presence of facial papules (FP) that clinically appear as noninflammatory, monomorphic, white-yellowish papules. Lichen planus pigmentosus (LPPigm) is characterized by the presence of asymptomatic grayish pigmented macules, predominantly in sun-exposed and flexural areas.

A 58-year-old, Caucasian, phototype III woman presented with a symmetrical, band-like, frontotemporal alopecia with regression of the hairline; bilateral eyebrow loss; diffuse, symmetrical hyperpigmentation of the face; and some asymptomatic, flesh-colored, monomorphic papules on the chin. Based on clinical, dermoscopic, and histological findings, the diagnosis of FFA associated with FP and LPPigm was established.

The peculiarity of our report is represented by the triple association of FFA, FP, and LPPigm in a Caucasian skin type III woman, as it has been rarely reported. Clinicians should be aware of this association also in subjects with phototype ≤III, as its recognition may be useful for diagnostic and prognostic purposes the observation of LPPigm of the face may suggest to check for early FFA, and in case of FFA associated with FP, a poorer FFA prognosis may likely be expected.

Although not completely understood, its etiopathogenesis seems to be multifactorial, including association with metabolic syndrome (MetS). Despite being commonly seen in patients with MetS, obesity per se as a possible related factor for AKN has yet to be studied. The aim of this study was to evaluate the relationship between obesity and AKN in a series of patients. Eight male patients, with a median age of 38 years (range 15-48), were included. Overweight/obesity was found in 8/8 (100%), with median BMI of 32.2 (range 27.7-43.85 kg/m2), including 2 patients with class 3 obesity. We hypothesize adipose tissue accumulation in the nape, the only moving part of the scalp, leads to redundant skin folds, more friction, and inflammation, triggering AKN. This paper highlights the possible relationship between AKN and overweight/obesity, hypothesizing a mechanism for their contribution to the etiopathogenesis of this scalp disorder. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first study focused specifically in this association. https://www.selleckchem.com/products/xl413-bms-863233.html While general physicians should pay attention to the appearing of AKN in overweight/obese patients, dermatologists must be aware that AKN patients should be assessed beyond the skin.Schwannoma is a tumor of schwann cell proliferation which presents as a solitary, soft, skin-colored dermal or subcutaneous papulo-nodule most commonly on the flexor part of extremities and head and neck areas. Here, we report a case of nail unit schwannoma, which is a rare tumor of the nail apparatus with only 4 other prior reports in the literature. This case illustrates the importance of including subungual schwannoma in the clinical differential diagnosis of subungual soft tissue tumors. We include a literature review which catalogs and summarizes the current knowledge regarding this unusual nail unit neoplasm.
Hidradenitis suppurativa (HS) is an inflammatory skin disease, which usually occurs after puberty. Even if the pathogenesis of HS is still unproven, numerous studies hypothesized that the disease is triggered by genetic and environmental factors, with hormones playing a central role. Mayer-Rokitansky-Küster-Hauser (MRKH) syndrome is a congenital malformation in which a failure of Müllerian duct development results in absent uterus and fallopian tubes and malformations of the vagina.

A 38-year-old Caucasian female referred at our outpatient clinic affected by HS. Before the appearance of HS manifestations, the patient referred to a gynecologist due to difficulties in getting pregnant. The sonographic findings were consistent with MRKH syndrome. An ovarian stimulation for in vitro fertilization was started. However, after 3 months the patient showed the first HS onset. link2 After the hormonal treatment ended, a combined treatment with rifampicin and clindamycin was started, showing a great clinical improvement at week 10.

HS usually appears after puberty, exhibits premenstrual flare, improves in pregnancy, and worsens postpartum, which indicates a role of hormones and particularly of androgens in its pathophysiology. Contrasting data are reported in the literature. Our case wants to strengthen the idea that hormones could play an important role, probably with other endogenous or exogenous factors. Multidisciplinary investigations will clarify which part is played by each factor in the pathogenesis of HS.

Multiple autoimmune pathologies have been reported in patients with FFA. Despite the fact that FFA etiology remains unknown, there has been described an association with autoimmune disorders probably caused by an altered activity of cytotoxic CD8 T lymphocytes. Moreover, other autoimmune pathologies develop TH1 and TH17 response. Genetics could be responsible, in part, for the role of multiple simultaneous autoimmune disorders. Herein, we describe a case of a female patient with vitiligo, lichen sclerosus, and autoimmune hypothyroidism who developed a pruritic band-like recession of the frontal hairline. link3 More research is needed in this area since autoimmune events in these patients may not be a mere coincidence.
Scalp inflammation is commonly associated with scalp psoriasis or seborrheic dermatitis. It can aggravate the progression of androgenetic alopecia and cause troublesome itching and burning. Here, we evaluate the efficacy of a shampoo containing 0.075% broad-spectrum cannabidiol in 50 subjects with mild to moderate scalp psoriasis or seborrheic dermatitis.

Inflammation was assessed by evaluating the density of twisted/glomerular or arborizing vessels by trichoscopy using a 6-point scale at baseline and day 14. Symptoms of itching/burning sensation, clinical evaluation of erythema/scaling, overall tolerability, and subject satisfaction were evaluated using 10-point scales.

There were significant reductions in arborizing vessel/twisted capillary inflammation and scaling by day 14. Severity scores reduced from 2.3 ± 0.1, 2.6 ± 0.1, and 3.6 ± 0.1, respectively, to 0.5 ± 0.05, 0.8 ± 0.05, and 0.6 ± 0.05 (all
< 0.0001). Symptom scores of itching and burning also reduced significantly from 6.9 ± 0.1 to 4.5 ± 0.1 to 1.5 ± 0.05 and 1.0 ± 0.05 (both
< 0.0001). Severity of erythema and scaling was also significantly reduced from 5.5 ± 0.1 and 7.0 ± 0.1, respectively, to 1.3 ± 0.05 and 1.6 ± 0.05 (both
< 0.0001). Tolerability and subject satisfaction were both excellent. There were no significant differences in treatment effect, tolerability, or subject satisfaction between men and women.

Replacing current shampooing practices with a broad-spectrum cannabidiol-containing shampoo significantly reduces both severity and symptoms of scalp inflammation within 2 weeks, with excellent tolerability and treatment satisfaction in subjects with mild to moderate scalp psoriasis or seborrheic dermatitis.

Transverse overcurvature of the nail (TON) represents one of the main reasons for dermatological consultations due to nail conditions. Association between TON and subungual hyperkeratosis is common and simulates onychomycosis, constituting a difficult differential diagnosis by clinical features. Many cases are treated in daily practice with antifungal therapy even without mycological confirmation. The aim of this study was to determine the prevalence of onychomycosis among patients with TON associated with subungual hyperkeratosis.

All subjects with clinical diagnosis of TON and subungual hyperkeratosis were subjected to a thorough clinical history, detailed clinical examination, digital photography, and collection of nail clipping and subungual debris for histopathological and microbiological examination (direct microscopy).

Sixty-five samples were collected from 62 female (95.4%) and 3 male (4.6%) participants. Age range was between 34 and 83 years (mean age, 61.2 years). Twenty-eight samples were positive for onychomycosis, giving a 43.
