Article Synopsis
- The incidence and mortality rates of cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma (cSCC) are increasing, highlighting the urgent need for better prevention methods.
- Topical treatments like calcipotriol and 5-fluorouracil (5-FU) can eliminate actinic keratosis (AK) lesions, but their exact mechanisms weren't clear until recent research.
- A study shows that type 2 immunity, specifically the interaction between thymic stromal lymphopoietin (TSLP) and Th2 cells, is crucial for eliminating premalignant cells and could be targeted for cSCC prevention.
Dr. Irwin M. Braverman has advanced our understanding of cutaneous manifestations of autoimmune connective tissue diseases (AI-CTD).

In particular, the skin immune microenvironment is arranged spatially and temporally, such that imbalances in the immune milieu are indicative of disease. Spatial transcriptomic platforms are helping to provide additional insights into aberrant inflammation in tissues that are not captured by tissue processing required for single-cell RNA sequencing.

- - Takayasu arteritis is an uncommon disease that affects the aorta and its branches, often leading to serious cardiovascular issues.
- - A case study is presented about a teenage athlete who experienced coronary arteritis and pyoderma gangrenosum, making her the youngest known patient with this condition.
- - The patient underwent immune modulation and a procedure to improve blood flow to the heart, but faced complications like restenosis and cardiac arrest, ultimately needing a coronary artery bypass graft.
Article Synopsis
- - Spiradenocylindroma is a rare benign skin tumor that has characteristics similar to two other tumors, spiradenoma and cylindroma, and it usually appears on the head and neck.
- - The article focuses on the case of a 65-year-old woman who had a left adnexal mass, which was found to be a spiradenocylindroma after ultrasonography, MRI, and surgery.
- - The findings emphasize how difficult it can be to diagnose spiradenocylindroma, particularly when it appears in unusual locations, like within an ovarian teratoma.
