Challenges in early diagnosis of primary cutaneous CD8+ aggressive epidermotropic cytotoxic T-cell lymphoma: a case series of four patients.

Background: Primary cutaneous aggressive epidermotropic CD8+ cytotoxic T-cell lymphoma (AECTCL) is a rare and aggressive lymphoma characterised by ulcerated lesions and a poor prognosis.

Objectives: To present a case series of four previously misdiagnosed AECTCL patients and discuss the importance of early diagnosis.

Materials And Methods: All patients in this study were identified from the database of the Dermatology Department of the Medical School of Bezmialem Vakif University, based on clinical and histopathological diagnosis of AECTCL between 2010 and 2018.

Which dermatology patients attend to Dermatology Outpatient Clinics during the SARS-CoV-2 outbreak in Turkey and what happened to them?

Coronavirus disease, first emerged in Wuhan, rapidly spread all over the world since December 2019. There are concerns about elective dermatology appointments and its results. Herein, we aimed to find out which type of dermatologic patients attended to dermatology outpatient clinic.

The relationship between pruritus and clinical variables in patients with psoriasis.

Background:: Pruritus is the most commonly occurring subjective symptom of dermatological disease. Published data on both prevalence and intensity of pruritus in psoriasis is limited.

Objective:: In this study we aimed to investigate the prevalence of pruritus and its relation with psoriasis area severity index, body mass index and presence of systemic disease in patients with psoriasis.

The relationship between severity of disease and vitamin D levels in children with atopic dermatitis.

Introduction: Atopic dermatitis (AD) is a chronic relapsing inflammatory skin disorder. Vitamin D is a liposoluble vitamin synthesized mainly in the skin. Vitamin D has several effects on the skin.

The relationship between body mass index, waist circumference and psoriatic arthritis in the Turkish population.

Introduction: Psoriasis is a chronic, immune-mediated inflammatory disease predominantly affecting the skin, with a complex aetiology. Recently it has been suggested that the chronic inflammation of psoriasis may cause metabolic and vascular disorders. The relationship between obesity and psoriatic arthritis (PsA) is not clear, and there are insufficient prospective studies addressing this subject.

Solitary Eccrine Syringofibroadenoma and Successful Treatment with Cryotherapy.

First described in 1963, eccrine syringofibroadenoma (ESFA) is a rare benign tumor that proliferates with differentiation toward ductal eccrine structures. There are many clinical presentations, including plaques, papules, verrucous plaques, keratotic tumors, and solitary tumors. The age of onset varies, with presentation between 16 and 80 years; however, solitary lesions are seen most commonly in the seventh and eighth decades.

Association of Pre-miRNA-499 rs3746444 and Pre-miRNA-146a rs2910164 Polymorphisms and Susceptibility to Behcet's Disease.

MiRNAs and NFKB1 are well-known immune response and inflammation regulators. MiRNA gene polymorphisms may affect miRNA biogenesis and function and, may thus, lead to changes in the expression of hundreds of genes such as NFKB1. The aim of this study was to investigate the association of Behcet's disease (BD) with NFKB1 rs28362491, pre-miRNA-146a rs2910164, and pre-miRNA-499 rs3746444 polymorphisms, as well as the analysis of their single and combined effects on its susceptibility in a Turkish population.

Atrial conduction abnormalities in patients with psoriasis vulgaris.

Background: Psoriasis vulgaris is one of the most common chronic inflammatory skin disorders. Patients with psoriasis are at risk of developing atrial fibrillation (AF). The electromechanical delay (EMD) is the time interval from the onset of the P wave on surface electrocardiography (ECG) to the beginning of the A wave.

Non-dipping nocturnal blood pressure in psoriasis vulgaris.

Background: Psoriasis vulgaris is one of the most prevalent chronic, inflammatory skin disorders. Patients with psoriasis carry an excess risk of hypertension and adverse cardiovascular (CV) events. Blood pressure (BP) has a circadian rhythm characterised with lower values at night.

Electrocardiographic P-wave characteristics in patients with psoriasis vulgaris.

Purpose: Psoriasis vulgaris is one of the most common skin disorders. Patients with psoriasis carry an excessive risk of atrial fibrillation (AF). The differences between the maximum (Pmax) and the minimum (Pmin) P-wave duration on ECG are defined as P-wave dispersion (PWD).
