Scleredema Diabeticorum (SD) is a rare condition characterized by diffuse, symmetrical induration along with non-pitted swelling mostly on the upper back as a result of mucin being deposited in the dermis. It can also involve posterior neck, shoulders, and scalp. We report a case of 48 years old female patient from Pakistan, with uncontrolled diabetes mellites type 2 for the last 15 years, presenting with thickened skin at the back of the neck resulting in difficulty in neck and shoulder movements.

The development of nanotechnology has significantly impacted the improvement of photocatalytic performance of ZnO NPs. In this study synthesis of pure ZnO and Ag-ZnO nanoparticles via a co-precipitation method at varying Ag concentrations (1 %, 2 %, 3 %, 4 % and 6 %) to enhance their photo catalytic efficacy. X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis estimates crystallite size which decreased by increasing Ag concentration, ranging from 30.
