Investigating the Real Effects of Isotretinoin on Enthesopathy in Acne Vulgaris Patients: A Prospective, Controlled Study.

Background: Isotretinoin is frequently used for treating severe, treatment-resistant, and scarring acne. A wide range of musculoskeletal side effects are reported due to isotretinoin, and one of them is enthesopathy.

Objectives: In this study, we used ultrasound to evaluate tendon thickness and the presence of enthesophytes, erosions, calcifications, and bursitis.

The Evaluation of Dermatological Disease Profiles of Neurosurgery Inpatients: A Tertiary Clinic Experience.

Background: Both the skin and neuronal systems originate from the ectoderm. In patients hospitalized for neurosurgery, their skin may be affected by genetic and environmental factors.

Objective: This study researched disease relationships by evaluating the profile of hospitalized neurosurgery patients who consulted with dermatology in a tertiary clinic (Neurosurgery Clinic, Ankara Training and Research Hospital, Ankara).

Evaluation of isotretinoin effects on depression, sleep apnea and sleep quality.

Background: Isotretinoin is used to treat severe acne, treatment-resistant moderate acne, and acne that leads to scarring or psychological distress. It has many side effects and is also associated with depression, sleep apnea, and sleep disturbances.

Objectives: In this study, we aimed to evaluate the effects of isotretinoin on depression, sleep apnea, and sleep quality.

An Evaluation of the Hematological Markers of Systemic Inflammation and Oxidative Stress in Vitiligo: A Case-Control Study.

Introduction Melanocyte dysfunction in vitiligo is considered to be due to genetics, inflammation, and autoimmunity. Research has shown that oxidative stress plays a significant role in triggering these conditions. Currently, there are several markers indicating hematological inflammation and oxidative stress.

Postoperative Pyoderma Gangrenosum Following Carpal Tunnel Surgery: A Case Report and Review of the Literature.

Pyoderma gangrenosum (PG) is a neutrophilic dermatosis characterized by painful ulcerated lesions. Postoperative PG, which typically begins with erythema and severe pain within two weeks after surgery, progresses into ulcerated lesions. It is often misdiagnosed as it resembles necrotizing skin infections, resulting in delayed treatment.

The correlation analysis between alterations of serum vitamin D, IL-33 levels, and clinical improvement after narrow-band UVB treatment in vitiligo patients: A case-control study.

Background: The etiology of vitiligo has not been completely elucidated. Recently, 25-hydroxyvitamin D (25(OH)D) and IL-33 levels were found to be associated with the development of the vitiligo. The aim was to assess relationship between 25(OH)D, IL-33 levels, and clinical improvement after narrow-band UVB treatment in vitiligo.

Clinical, histopathological and immunohistochemical evaluation of ultraviolet A1 treatment in early-stage mycosis fungoides.

Background/purpose: Mycosis fungoides (MF) is the most common variant of cutaneous T-cell lymphomas primarily involving the skin. Early-stage MF is characterised by non-specific skin lesions and non-diagnostic biopsies. While skin-focused treatments, such as PUVA and narrowband UVB (nbUVB), are the most frequently recommended treatments, the UVA1 efficacy has been researched in recent years.

Evaluation of Dermatology Life Quality Index, Depression-Anxiety-Stress Scores of Patients with Genital Dermatoses.

Background: Genital dermatoses contain a group of diseases that affect the skin of the genital area. Genital dermatoses are classified as venereal and nonvenereal. They can affect a patient's life quality and can cause depression, anxiety and stress.

Comparative Evaluation of Dermatological Emergency Consultations in the Coronavirus Pandemic Era: Tertiary Clinic Experience.

Introduction: Due to the increase in COVID-19 patients during the pandemic, the workload of emergency departments has increased. The profile of patients seeking non-COVID medical care has changed significantly because of the pandemic; this includes dermatological emergencies.

Objective: The aim was to evaluate and compare adult dermatological emergency consultations during the COVID-19 period with the pre-pandemic period.

Ustekinumab for the treatment of acrodermatitis continua of Hallopeau refractory to anti-TNF agents.

Acrodermatitis continua of Hallopeau (ACH) is a variant of pustular psoriasis that is often very difficult to treat. Almost all anti-psoriatic agents have been used in the treatment of ACH. Ustekinumab, a fully human monoclonal antibody of the IgG1 class, is directed to the shared p40 subunit of cytokines IL-12 and IL-23.
