Here we describe a cutaneous neonatal myeloid sarcoma (MS) case with a subsequent diagnosis of acute myeloid leukemia (AML) seven days later. Cytogenetic studies were unusual demonstrating a triple copy of KAT6A abnormality and complex 8;14;22 translocation involving the 8p11.2 region.

Allergic contact dermatitis, a Type IV delayed hypersensitivity reaction, can result in dermatologic signs/symptoms for patients/workers. The likelihood of this phenomenon has been estimated/predicted for numerous chemicals/drugs by animal model and human patch testing protocols developed over the last century. Karl Landsteiner initiated testing with guinea pig studies; further studies based on his initial concept were in continual development.

This study aimed to assess skin cancer history, sun protection practices, and skin cancer surveillance measures among Midwestern agricultural workers.
Methods: Individuals that attended the 2020 Sioux Falls Farm Show were asked to complete a 12-question survey on sun exposure, sun protective practices, and skin cancer surveillance.
Percutaneous penetration of chemicals from clothing can result in both acute and chronic toxicities. Although personal protective equipment composed of nonwoven material can provide thorough protection, it is often uncomfortable under normal occupational conditions. Certain everyday textiles are often utilized as protective clothing due to their cost, comfort, and convenience.

Purpose: Percutaneous penetration in man is affected by several factors: chemical properties, skin anatomy variables, and environmental conditions can all modify the quantity of chemical that penetrates through the skin barrier. The amount of chemical or drug that penetrates the cutaneous barrier must be considered due to the local and systemic absorption that may occur. Regional variation in percutaneous absorption is an additional factor to recognize when analysing chemical percutaneous penetration.
View Article and Find Full Text PDFOmega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids (n-3 PUFAs) are associated with a variety of cellular alterations that mitigate cardiovascular disease. However, pinpointing the positive therapeutic effects is challenging due to inconsistent clinical trial results and overly simplistic in vitro studies. Here we aimed to develop realistic models of n-3 PUFA effects on platelet function so that preclinical results can better align with and predict clinical outcomes.
