Acrodermatitis enteropathica is a rare and distinct form of zinc deficiency with a requirement of life-long zinc supplementation and inherited in a recessive manner. Transient nutritional zinc deficiency is also a well known condition mimicking acrodermatitis enteropathica like skin changes in preterm and term infants who are generally breastfed with a low level of zinc containing milk. Here, a 4-month-old male, term and fully breastfed acrodermatitis enteropathica case without hypozincemia and with maternal milk of low zinc level is presented.

- The study investigates the relationship between erythrocyte deformability and thrombosis risk in Behcet's disease, focusing on untreated patients with active disease.
- It employs a method to measure erythrocyte deformability using filtration techniques, revealing that patients with Behcet's disease have significantly lower deformability indices compared to control subjects.
- The findings suggest that oxidative damage may impair erythrocyte deformability, contributing to the increased thrombosis risk associated with Behcet's disease.
Article Synopsis
- Treatment of ingrown toenails with 10% sodium hydroxide is effective for both diabetic and non-diabetic patients, despite potential complications in diabetic individuals.
- A study involved 30 diabetic patients and 30 non-diabetic patients, examining healing and recurrence rates after the chemical treatment.
- Results showed no significant differences in healing, pain, infections, or recurrences between the two groups, confirming the treatment's safety and effectiveness for those with diabetes.
Etanercept does not have an apoptosis-inducing effect on psoriatic keratinocytes.

Background: Tumor necrosis factor-alpha is the key inflammatory cytokine in psoriasis vulgaris triggering abnormal differentiation and proliferation of keratinocytes. Etanercept as an antitumor necrosis factor-alpha agent is widely used for the treatment of psoriasis vulgaris.
Objectives: To find out whether etanercept has an apoptotic effect on psoriatic keratinocytes.
Objectives: Partial nail avulsion with phenol matricectomy is one of the most widely performed procedures for the treatment of ingrowing nails. We compared phenol applications of different durations with respect to efficacy and safety.
Methods: The study included 148 ingrowing nails (grade 2-3) of 110 patients (54 males, 56 females).
Treatment of acrodermatitis continua of Hallopeau (ACH) is known to be difficult. A 24-year-old man presented with an 11-year history of recurrent flares of painful pustular and scaly lesions on the distal portion of his fingers and toes, with persistent nail dystrophy. Based on the clinical and histopathological findings, ACH was diagnosed.

Objective: To assess the efficacy and safety of retreatment with pimecrolimus in SD patients.
Methods: A total of 45 patients who had been treated previously with pimecrolimus 1% cream were retreated with the same agent using the same treatment protocol after the disease reoccurred.
Background: Pimecrolimus was found to be effective for the treatment of seborrheic dermatitis in several studies and its off-label use is increasing gradually.
Objectives: This study was conducted to obtain more detailed information concerning the daily use of pimecrolimus in seborrheic dermatitis and it also aims to contribute to data for the future construction of guidelines.
Methods: A total of 52 patients with seborrheic dermatitis enrolled in the study.
