ABSTRACT Background Poikiloderma of Civatte is a benign skin condition characterized by reticulate erythema and hyperpigmentation in sun‐exposed areas, predominantly on the neck, cheeks, chest. Chronic UV exposure leads to vascular proliferation red cell extravasation resulting hemosiderin melanin deposition. While many light‐based modalities have been utilized treat disorder, significant vascularity makes it ideally suited for treatment with lasers. Objective This study aims evaluate safety...
Epidermolysis bullosa-pyloric atresia (EB-PA) is an autosomal recessive genodermatosis most commonly caused by mutations in the ITGB4 gene, which encodes a subunit of hemidesmosomal α6β4 integrin. Patients with EB-PA present as infants combinations skin blistering and fragility, pyloric atresia, ureteral renal abnormalities. Ureteral abnormalities are not required for diagnosis, but may include dysplastic kidneys, obstructive uropathy, bladder agenesis, or collection system duplications.
Abstract Introduction : The Juvéderm family of dermal fillers are injectable, long‐lasting, homogenous, monophasic, monodensified hyaluronic acid which cross‐linked with varying amounts 1,4‐butanediol‐diglycidyl‐ether (BBDE). Several formulations exist, including the original Ultra® and Ultra Plus®, newer Voluma® XC. Differences in product line stem from (HA) concentration, gel hardness (G star (G*)), elastic properties prime (G′)), amount molecular cross‐linking (BBDE percentage),...
Abstract Introduction Sculptra® is an injectable biostimulatory soft tissue filler containing microparticles of poly‐L‐lactic acid (PLLA) that FDA‐approved for the correction HIV‐associated facial lipoatrophy and nasolabial fold contour deficiencies other wrinkles in immunocompetent patients. Injectable PLLA has been shown to provide gradual improvement cutaneous thickness by inciting a subclinical inflammatory response stimulates increased collagen deposition dermis, with results lasting up...
Without pathognomonic skin lesions or muscle weakness, early DM may be misdiagnosed as a disorder of hyperpigmentation. A 38-year-old male presented with one-year history progressive hyperpigmented patches on the face and neck. Outside biopsy was thought to consistent EDP, which patient’s identical twin brother had recently been diagnosed. Later exam notable for progression erythematous slightly scaly macules face, faint pink thin plaques bilateral extensor forearms retroauricular creases,...
