Lesional skin of patients with discoid lupus erythematosus (DLE) contains macrophages, whose polarization has yet to be investigated. To test our hypothesis that M1 macrophages would increased in DLE skin, we examined transcriptome alterations immune cell gene expression and macrophage features normal by using histochemical approaches. Gene RNA from lesional control was compared microarrays quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR). Both groups were analyzed for CD163...
We prospectively compared subtalar arthroereisis with lateral column calcaneal lengthening for the treatment of painful flatfeet. Twenty-four feet (mean age patients 12.8 years) were treated. Kinematic motion analysis, pedobarometry, and radiography performed, Oxford Ankle-Foot Questionnaire Children was administered each patient before surgery at 1-year follow-up. found statistically significant improvements in both groups, no difference their outcomes. Both groups showed significantly...

Introduction: Teledermatology, defined as the use of remote imaging technologies to provide dermatologic healthcare services individuals in a distant setting, has grown considerably popularity since its widespread implementation during COVID-19 pandemic. Teledermoscopy employs smartphone dermatoscope attachment paired with camera visualize colors and microstructures within epidermis superficial dermis that cannot be seen naked eye ABCD criteria alone. Methods: Our retrospective observational...
ABSTRACT The phenomenon of drug craving among adolescents with substance use disorders has been largely overlooked by addiction researchers. This study was designed to: (1) assess polysubstance (SUDs); and (2) examine the association between personality traits SUDs. Craving found to be a multidimensional that demonstrated some degree consistency across substances (in this case, marijuana alcohol). Selected were associated distinct components craving; for example, adolescent users who...
Abstract Background Morphea is an autoimmune, sclerosing skin disorder. Despite the recent emphasis on immune dysregulation in morphea, role of autoantibodies morphea pathogenesis or utility as biomarkers are poorly defined. Methods Autoantigen microarray was used to profile from serum participants Adults and Children (MAC) cohort. Clinical demographic features patients with myelin basic protein (MBP) were compared those without. MBP immunohistochemistry staining subsequently performed...
