rapy to replace bound albumin might alleviate some of the symptoms leading to sepsis and that clinical trials to test this postulation should be initiated as a matter of urgency.Traction alopecia (TA) is an underreported scarring alopecia in children and adolescents. TA occurs from chronic tensile forces on the hair and can be caused by different hairstyles that pull the hair tightly, such as regularly wearing braids, ponytails, cornrows, dreadlocks, and weaves, or by treating hair with rollers, hair extensions, or chemical relaxers.Syringoma is an adnexal tumor typically observed on the periorbital region and readily diagnosed by clinical examination. Eruptive syringoma is a rare variant that is commonly confused with mastocytosis and lichen planus clinically. The diagnosis is generally confirmed by typical histopathological features. Herein, we report two eruptive syringoma cases along with the dermoscopic features. Through our dermoscopic evaluation before skin biopsy, we detected features also reminding that of maculopapular mastocytosis as reticular light brown lines, structureless light-brown areas, and reticular vessels. Additionally, as an additional pattern, shiny white dots were observed in the vulvar variant.
Complex regional pain syndrome (CRPS) is characterized by chronic pain out of proportion to injury following trauma. CRPS most commonly results after crush-type injury to the hand and may be associated with various cutaneous symptoms believed to be driven by vasomotor instability. Existing reports in the literature have employed a range of methodologies to describe and evaluate cutaneous and vascular changes in CRPS, though there exists no current gold standard for diagnosis.

Here, we report a 71-year-old male with a 10-year history of CRPS who presented with abnormal capillaries on onychoscopy, demonstrating a "lightning-storm" pattern.

Previous studies have shown increased blood flow to the cutis in the early stage of CRPS, yet diminished cutaneous flow during the later stages. However, one study showed increased nail capillary diameter in patients with later stage CRPS. Due to a variety of reported clinical characteristics and a nonspecific clinic presentation, both the recognition and diagnosis of CRPS is difficult. Nail fold capillaroscopy may be a useful and accessible tool for evaluating patients with CRPS.

Our clinical diagnosis was retronychia, an often misinterpreted condition, which must be suspected in cases of persistent paronychia, especially in the setting of trauma. The nail plate avulsion revealed a subungual tumor, which was surgically excised. Histopathology in combination with immunohistochemistry revealed features suggestive of SAFM. The follow-up examination of the patient showed no recurrence 9 months after the surgery.Steatocystoma multiplex (SM) is an autosomal dominant disorder developing in adolescence or early adult age. The occurrence of multiple asymptomatic cutaneous cysts on the axillae, groin, trunk, and limbs characterizes the disease. SM is associated with a missense mutation in the keratin 17 gene (KRT17), a gene encoding for a type I intermediate filament (keratin 17 [K17]), mainly expressed in the epithelial appendages (hair follicles and sebaceous glands). Here, we report a case of appearance of multiple steatocystomas in a psoriatic patient during ustekinumab treatment, an interleukin (IL)-12/IL-23 inhibitor. Our hypothesis is that ustekinumab could have unmasked a potential genetic predisposition to SM by reducing the expression of interferon-γ and IL-17/IL-22 and consequently acting on the K17 pathway.
Onychomycosis is a chronic nail fungal infection resulting in nail damage and a decreased quality of life. Chemical avulsion of the nail with urea and bifonazole -removes fungally infected debris, increasing antifungal treatment efficacy and penetration. Previous clinical ob-servations describe patients who applied their urea and -bifonazole ointment less frequently, achieving earlier nail removal. In this study, we analyzed the relationship between duration of urea and bifonazole application and time to nail avulsion.

χ
tests, multiple regression analysis, and ANOVA were performed to analyze the similarities between treatment regimens (daily, every 3 days, or once a week), association of regimens or patient characteristics to nail removal, and compare time to nail removal between each regimen, respectively.

Daily application of ointment and sealing resulted in an average length of time (±SD) to nail removal of 18.7 days (±6.8 days); once every 3 days resulted in nail removal at 12.7 days (±6.2 days) and once per week at 11 days (±4.46 days) (
< 0.001). Age was the only patient factor that affected duration to nail removal.

Once weekly application of ointment with sealing for a 1-week duration is associated with a decrease in time to complete chemical avulsion of the nail by approximately 1 week.

Some clinical features have been associated with the progression and remission of alopecia areata (AA). We aim to determine possible prognostic factors in Mexican patients with AA.

This prospective study of a 1-year follow-up included Mexican patients with a clinical diagnosis of AA. We evaluated disease activity with the SALT score at the first visit and 1-year follow-up; progression, no progression, and remission were defined according to score changes. We used multiple linear regression model to detect factors associated with progression and remission.

One hundred and four patients concluded the study. Ninety-seven patients (93.3%) had patchy AA. Fifteen patients showed disease progression and 89 no progression, of which 35 patients had remission. Body hair involvement was related to disease progression and adherence to treatment with disease remission and progression.

Body hair involvement is related to poor prognosis. https://www.selleckchem.com/products/lenalidomide-s1029.html Adherence to treatment is a modifiable prognostic factor associated with the course of AA in Mexican patients.
