Treatment of Steroid-Induced Lipoatrophy Following Transverse Abdominis Plane Block With Serial Intralesional Isotonic Saline Injections: A Case Report.

A transverse abdominis plane (TAP) block is one option in the management of chronic groin pain after inguinal hernia repair. Steroid-induced lipoatrophy following local injection is an infrequent complication of this procedure, but can be distressing to patients when it does occur. A 36-year-old male patient of ours sustained this rare procedural complication and underwent successful reversal of the lipoatrophy through serial intralesional isotonic saline injections.

Ros-NET: A deep convolutional neural network for automatic identification of rosacea lesions.

Background: Rosacea is one of the most common cutaneous disorder characterized primarily by facial flushing, erythema, papules, pustules, telangiectases, and nasal swelling. Diagnosis of rosacea is principally done by a physical examination and a consistent patient history. However, qualitative human assessment is often subjective and suffers from a relatively high intra- and inter-observer variability in evaluating patient outcomes.

Porphyria cutanea tarda in a child following multi-agent chemotherapy.

Porphyria cutanea tarda (PCT) is a blistering skin disorder that occurs most commonly in middle-aged individuals. It is caused by decreased uroporphyrinogen decarboxylase (UROD) activity, which results in elevated levels of uroporphyrinogen. Occurrence remains very rare in children with some sources quoting as few as 50 reports of childhood cases.

Warfarin-induced Venous Limb Gangrene.

Warfarin is a commonly used anticoagulant that has been associated with several significant cutaneous side effects, most notably warfarin-induced skin necrosis. A lesser known adverse reaction to warfarin is warfarin-induced venous limb gangrene. Both cutaneous adverse effects share the same pathophysiology, but are clinically quite different.
