Follicular unit extraction hair transplant automation: options in overcoming challenges of the latest technology in hair restoration with the goal of avoiding the line scar.

Follicular unit extraction (FUE) provides many advantages over the strip surgical method of harvesting hair grafts for hair restoration. However, FUE also has its shortcomings because it is a more time intensive approach that results in increased costs and is technically a more challenging technique of hair transplantation. In this manuscript, we seek to share approaches used at our center to help minimize and/or improve on some of the challenges of FUE.

Erythema multiforme vs. DRESS syndrome associated with the combined use of lamotrigine and cyclobenzaprine: a case report.

Lamotrigine is FDA-approved as a maintenance treatment of bipolar disorder, but its common off-label uses include bipolar depression and antidepressant augmentation in patients with major depressive disorder. Among other adverse effects, cutaneous reactions, particularly erythema multiforme, are cited as concerns during treatment with this medication. In order to minimize the risk of cutaneous side effect, efforts have been made to identify factors associated with a higher rate of lamotrigine-induced rash.
