Eighty-one these (69%) had involvement. This was mild 40%, moderate 25%...
Robust evidence of the association insulin resistance and metabolic syndrome with acne in male patients is lacking.To assess prevalence 20 years or older acne.We performed a cross-sectional study 100 age-matched controls without from dermatology outpatient department tertiary care institute. Postadolescent were recruited only to negate effects physiologic that are seen at time puberty adolescence. Twenty-five included each 4 individual severity groups according Global Acne Grading System age...
Abstract Background Paraneoplastic pemphigus (PNP), also called paraneoplastic autoimmune multiorgan syndrome (PAMS), is a rare disease with mucocutaneous and multi‐organ involvement. PNP/PAMS typically associated lymphoproliferative or haematological malignancies, less frequently solid malignancies. The mortality rate of elevated owing to the increased risk severe infections disease‐associated complications, such as bronchiolitis obliterans. Objectives These guidelines summarize...

The majority of species within the genus Malassezia are lipophilic yeasts that colonize skin warm-blooded animals. Two species, globosa and restricta, implicated in causation seborrheic dermatitis/dandruff (SD/D). During our survey SD/D cases, we isolated several noticed vast variations a few lipid-dependent species. Variations observed phenotypic characteristics (colony morphology, absence catalase activity, growth at 37°C, precipitation surrounding wells containing Tween 20 or Cremophor...
