The Presence and Severity of Inferior Turbinate Hypertrophy in Patients with Hypertrophic Scars.

Objectives: This study aimed to investigate the presence and severity of inferior turbinate hypertrophy (ITH) in patients with hypertrophic scars (HTS).

Methods: This case-control study was conducted with patients diagnosed with HTS during dermatologic examination and a control group without HTS. An otolaryngologist evaluated the presence and severity of inferior turbinate hypertrophy by anterior rhinoscopy.

Dermoscopic monitoring of pediatric melanocytic nevi regarding pattern and diameter changes.

Background: Childhood and adolescence are dynamic period in terms of nevogenesis, and the development and growth of new melanocytic nevus are frequently observed. In this study, the aim was to examine the pattern and diameter changes seen in the follow-up of pediatric melanocytic nevus.

Objectives: To describe the pattern and diameter changes seen in the follow-up of pediatric melanocytic.

Antinuclear Antibody Positivity in Patients With Hair Loss After COVID-19 Infection.

Introduction: Hair loss is one of the most common disorders after coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) infection. This study aimed to investigate the relationship between COVID-19-related hair loss and antinuclear antibody (ANA) positivity and patterns.

Methods: ANA positivity and patterns were analyzed in 30 female COVID-19 patients with hair loss complaints and compared in terms of the presence of autoimmunity between patients with and without COVID-19 exhibiting hair loss.

The clinical effect of botulinum toxin on pigmentation.

Background: Botulinum toxin injection is a common cosmetic procedure often used to treat dynamic wrinkles, but it has also been observed to have a lightening effect on the skin. It is thought that this lightening effect develops due to muscle innervation blockage; however, the change in the amount of melanin levels has not been quantified.

Method: Thirty-one patients who presented to the dermatology clinic of a tertiary hospital for botulinum toxin injection for wrinkle treatment were included in the study.

Evaluation of Biopsy Results, Consultations, and Follow-Ups in Pediatric Dermatopathology.

Objective: Since skin diseases may show atypical presentation in children, histopathological evaluation plays a more critical role. The aim of this study is to determine the diagnoses that are finalized after the histopathological evaluation, which departments are frequently consulted, and the methods of follow-up in pediatric dermatology.

Materials And Methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted on pediatric and adolescent patients whose biopsy was taken after evaluation in the pediatric dermatology outpatient clinic for 42 months.

IL-36α and IL-36γ expressions in the differential diagnosis of palmoplantar psoriasis and palmoplantar eczema: A retrospective histopathologic and immunohistochemical study.

Background: Diagnosing hyperkeratotic lesions on the palms and soles is often challenging for both clinicians and pathologists. Interleukin (IL)-36 cytokines play an important role in the pathogenesis of psoriasis.

Methods: We retrospectively re-evaluated hematoxylin-eosin-stained biopsy specimens of 30 patients with clinically diagnosed palmoplantar psoriasis (PP) and 30 patients with palmoplantar eczema (PE), and then performed IL-36α and IL-36γ immunohistochemistry.

Evaluation of the serum magnesium and vitamin D levels and the risk of anxiety in primary hyperhidrosis.

Background: Excessive sweating is considered primary hyperhidrosis if it is triggered by emotional states without any thermogenic or other underlying disease from the eccrine glands. This may be due to dysfunction in the autonomic nervous system.

Aims: To investigate the relationship between Vitamin D and Mg deficiency and the risk of anxiety and depression in patients with primary hyperhidrosis.

Knowledge levels and concerns about oral isotretinoin treatment in the parents of adolescent acne patients.

Oral isotretinoin is frequently used in the treatment of young acne patients. However, knowledge levels and attitudes about this treatment have not been studied in the parents previously. We aimed to investigate the knowledge levels and concerns about oral isotretinoin in the parents of adolescent acne patients.

Hand eczema treatment: Change behaviour with text messaging, a randomized trial.

Background: Irritant contact dermatitis is the most common type of hand eczema. Effective treatment usually involves avoidance of irritants and use of appropriate topical medication. In this study, the effectiveness of using text messaging addressing preventive behaviours and appropriate medication adherence was evaluated.

The investigation of the relationships of demodex density with inflammatory response and oxidative stress in rosacea.

The relationships of demodex density with systemic oxidative stress, inflammatory response, and clinical severity in rosacea are not clear. This study aimed to (a) analyze the levels of systemic oxidative stress, antioxidant capacity, inflammatory parameters, and matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) in systemic circulation in patients with rosacea, (b) identify the relationship between mite density and both oxidative stress and inflammation, and (c) investigate the role of photoaging and sebum secretion in etiopathogenesis. Forty patients with rosacea and 40 age-, sex-, and skin phenotype-matched healthy volunteers were included in the study.

Zosteriform pemphigoid after zoster: Wolf's isotopic response.

The Wolf isotopic response describes the occurrence of a new, unrelated disease that appears at the same location as a previously healed disease. The most common primary skin disorder of this phenomenon is herpes zoster and less frequently, herpes simplex. We report a case of 79-year-old woman who have bullous pemphigoid (BP) with dermatomal distribution that developed at the site of previously healed herpes zoster.
