Article Synopsis
- Psoriatic disease is often overlooked, so researchers created the Psorcast app, which uses smartphone sensors to let patients self-measure their skin and joint symptoms.
- During the study, nearly half of the 104 participants had psoriatic arthritis, and the app showed a strong correlation with traditional physician assessments for skin involvement.
- The app’s results are promising, but more research with larger groups is needed before it can be used more widely in clinical practice, and the technology is open-source for public access.
Introduction: Amyloidosis is a group of diseases characterized by extracellular deposits of abnormal insoluble proteins in different tissues. Amyloidoma is a localized tumoral deposit of amyloid in the absence of systemic amyloidosis, and it has been described in different anatomic sites. We report two cases of amyloidoma in the nail unit and provide insights into this recently described entity.

Macular arteritis (MA) has a striking discordance between the clinical presentation of hyperpigmented macules and the histopathologic findings of a lymphocytic arteritis with intraluminal hyalinized fibrin ring and thrombosis. It has been proposed that MA represents the chronic, indolent, lymphocytic form of the neutrophil-predominant cutaneous polyarteritis nodosa. MA usually affects middle-aged women asymptomatically on the legs.
