Trichodysplasia spinulosa in a renal transplant patient: A case report of successful treatment.

Trichodysplasia spinulosa is a rare cutaneous disease caused by the trichodysplasia spinulosa-associated polyomavirus. It occurs more frequently in immunocompromised patients, particularly in solid organ transplants. A few successful treatments have been described in the literature.

Toxic epidermal necrolysis associated with pembrolizumab.

Introduction: Stevens-Johnson syndrome and toxic epidermal necrolysis are severe cutaneous drug eruptions characterized by epidermal detachment. Pembrolizumab is a monoclonal antibody that binds to the programmed death-1 receptor, and it has been associated with numerous cutaneous adverse side-effects, including Stevens-Johnson syndrome.

Case Report: We describe a 63-year-old male with metastatic lung adenocarcinoma who developed a rapidly progressing maculopapular rash three days after a first dose of pembrolizumab.

Lateral trunk displacement and stability during sit-to-stand transfer in relation to foot placement in patients with hemiparesis.

Background: In hemiparetic individuals, sit-to-stand (STS) transfer is characterized by asymmetric weight-bearing and altered trunk kinematics that can be improved by positioning the affected foot behind the nonaffected one.

Objective: To examine the influence of frontal trunk kinematics on medio-lateral displacements of the center of pressure (CP) during STS performed with the feet placed in 2 different positions, as well as relationships between these parameters, medio-lateral stability, and clinical scores of the participants.

Methods: Eighteen patients with chronic stroke and 15 control individuals were evaluated during sit-to-stand transfers either in spontaneous foot position or with their affected or dominant foot placed behind, respectively.

Interactions between foot placement, trunk frontal position, weight-bearing and knee moment asymmetry at seat-off during rising from a chair in healthy controls and persons with hemiparesis.

Objective: To assess the interaction of foot placement, trunk frontal position, weight-bearing and knee moment asymmetry at seat-off when rising from a chair.

Design: Cross-sectional study.

Subjects: Seventeen subjects with hemiparesis and 15 healthy controls.
