Behçet's disease (BD) is a systemic inflammatory disorder characterized mainly by recurrent oral and genital ulcers eye involvement. Although the pathogenesis remains poorly understood, variety of studies have demonstrated that genetic predisposition major factor in susceptibility. Peculiar geographical distribution BD along ancient Silk Road has been regarded as evidence supporting influence. The observed aggregation families patients with also supportive for component its etiology. HLA-B51...

Pediculosis capitis is an endemic parasitosis affecting many countries of the world. The aim this study was to investigate incidence head lice infestation in Mersin, Turkey.A total 5318 elementary schoolchildren, aged 8-16 years, were examined for presence Pediculus capitis. If any evidence detected, such as live or dead eggs, nits, child considered be infected. following details recorded each child: age, sex, family size, monthly income, number siblings, parents' education, absence social...

Purpose: Rosacea might be related to an increased activity of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and deficient function the antioxidant system. Glutathione S‐transferases (GSTs) play a primer role in cellular defense against electrophilic chemical radical species. We hypothesized that ROS or decreased potential, possibly induced by GST gene polymorphism, have pathogenic rosacea. Methods: The study group consisted 45 patients with rosacea 100 control subjects. DNA samples were isolated from blood...

Abstract Background As deep nasolabial folds (NLF) are associated with facial aging, there is an increasing demand for esthetic correction filler injections. Understanding the anatomy of angular artery (AA) and (FA) around NLF region essential ensuring safety dermal injections into NLF. The purpose this study was to provide detailed vascular anatomical information on course depth AA FA using Doppler ultrasound live cases. Methods observed from origin level adjacent mandible corpus end its...

Idiopathic guttate hypomelanosis (IGH) is a common but often unrecognized skin disease with obscure etiopathogenesis. As the lesions mostly develop on exposed parts of extremities, ultraviolet has been hypothesized to induce these lesions. However, previous statistical studies did not confirm any association between and IGH. We describe 72‐year‐old woman mycosis fungoides in whom widespread IGH occurred during narrow band B (UVB) therapy. The lesion development trunk following UVB therapy...

Abstract Background Since steatocystoma multiplex is an uncommon disorder, its treatment has not been discussed in detail the textbooks and surgical excision most commonly mentioned method. In this article, we describe a very simple technique, which was developed by modifying previous reports. Methods A 29‐year‐old woman, diagnosed clinically histologically as multiplex, treated with modified technique. We punctured cysts under local anesthesia sharp‐tipped cautery point evacuated contents...

Chemical matricectomy is performed mainly by 2 agents, phenol and sodium hydroxide. with has a low recurrence rate good cosmetic results, but it produces extensive tissue destruction can result in drainage delayed healing time. These adverse effects have brought forward the use of chemical agents such as hydroxide trichloroacetic acid for matricectomy.This prospective study aimed to evaluate efficacy partial nail avulsion selective cauterization matrix using 90% bichloracetic (BCA) treatment...

Hyaluronic acid (HA) injection is a popular nonsurgical, rejuvenating procedure to treat glabellar frown lines, which has devastating complications such as blindness and skin necrosis due the arterial occlusion of supratrochlear artery (STA). Therefore, when injecting into knowledge STA's depth plane necessary prevent possible adverse events. The aim this study was identify depths STA in area lines order maximize safety during filler injections.Supratrochlear measurements were performed at...

Knife-inflicted, deeply penetrating head and neck trauma is an uncommon life-threatening injury a challenging problem. An examination of the neurovascular systemic physical status first requirement decision as to which approach adopt for removal blade critical importance. Here we report rare case pre-auricular stab wound with knife lodged in extracranial infratemporal fossa. Radiological investigations showed that had entered from temporomandibular joint become through anterior margin...

Purpose To report a case of lichen planus-lupus erythematosus overlap syndrome with eyelid involvement. Lichen planus and lupus infrequently coexist in the same patients. Ocular involvement has rarely been reported for both diseases. Case Report We describe Histopathologic immunofluorescent studies were done on buccal, lip, left conjunctival, malar, auricular scalp lesions. The immunopathologic features conjunctiva, buccal mucosa lip consistent planus, while those lesions favoured...

Abstract We present a hypertensive child with co‐existence of polyarteritis nodosa, anti‐phospholipid antibodies (a PL ), methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase ( MTHFR ) mutation and increased lipoprotein level. Elevated renin, aldosterone levels, micro‐aneurysms, occlusion thrombosis at left right renal artery were found. Anti‐hypertensive agents, prednisolone pulse cyclophosphamide therapy started stent was inserted in the artery. Two months later, brain magnetic resonance imaging/magnetic...

A 32‐year‐old mentally retarded woman was admitted to hospital with recurrent ulcers on her legs, which appeared for the first time at 8 years of age. Apart from lower respiratory tract infections and chronic otitis media, personal history unremarkable. Her parents were second‐degree relatives. The family showed no similar disease or mental retardation. Physical examination revealed that patient had an unusual facial appearance, a high‐arched palate; she multiple tooth caries ( Fig. 1 )....

Erythema ab igne is a localized, cutaneous condition, consisting of reticulate hyperpigmentation, dusky erythema, epidermal atrophy, and telangiectasia, all the result repeated exposures to heat. We describe patient with bullous form erythema igne: bullae crusts within localized area reticular, brown, macular pigmentation on lateral side left leg, an that had close exposure electrical heater over previous 3 months. believe igne, something rarely reported in literature, should be considered...

Abstract Background Patients frequently request the removal of benign, papular and dome‐shaped nevi for cosmetic or functional reasons. Total excision is probably most widely used method removal. Aim To introduce round technique treatment on face. Methods In a prospective study, 36 all types were removed by technique. The lesions circumscribed with number 15 scalpel blade, 2 mm beyond limits, incision to full depth dermis, cutting horizontally at maximum circular incision. Histologic...

Long pulse 1,064-nm neodymium-doped yttrium aluminum garnet (Nd:YAG) laser is a very versatile due to its deep penetration and absorption by hemoglobin, melanin, water, which has gained increasing popularity over recent years for the treatment of leg veins permanent hair removal as well skin rejuvenation. The long-pulse Nd:YAG was appointed choice 0.5-3.0 mm deoxygenated, unsightly veins. Hair another application long lasers, decreased light melanin at 1,064 nm reduces risk pigmentary side...

A 23‐year‐old white female patient presented with a 3‐year history of pruritic rash on the trunk, extensor surfaces extremities, back, abdomen, and glutea. There was no family any similar dermatological disease. Dermatological examination revealed generalized rough, mildly keratotic, symmetrical dome‐shaped papules, involving dorsal both lower upper back glutea ( Fig. 1 ). Physical normal.
