Introduction: Endothelial damage is associated with acute and long-term coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) complications. Proximal nailfold capillaries and nail beds give important clues to microvascular changes associated with endothelial dysfunction.
Objective: We aimed to use dermoscopy to examine the proximal nailfold capillaries and nail bed of COVID-19 patients and identify microvascular changes.
Article Synopsis
- Chronic spontaneous urticaria (CSU) shows varied patient responses to the treatment with omalizumab, highlighting the need for predictive factors for treatment efficacy.
- A study from 2015-2022 at Pamukkale University examined clinical characteristics and several biomarkers (like eosinophils, total IgE) to see how they relate to treatment success.
- Results indicated that patients with total IgE levels ≤ 30 IU/L had a significantly lower response rate, and non-responders had higher systemic inflammation markers compared to responders, suggesting potential predictors for treatment outcomes.
Introduction: Dermoscopy has become widespread in the diagnosis of inflammatory skin diseases. Cutaneous vasculitis (CV) is characterized by inflammation of vessels, and a rapid and reliable technique is required for the diagnosis.
Objectives: We aimed to define CV dermoscopic features and increase the diagnostic accuracy of dermoscopy with machine learning (ML) methods.
Unlabelled: The aim of the study was to investigate the use of elastography for cervical cancer diagnostics.
Materials And Methods: The ultrasonic study with use of sonoelastography involved 87 patients with cervical pathology (cervicitis, n = 11; dysplasia, n = 14; cervical cancer, n = 62).
Results: At non-malignant pathology elastic types of elastograms prevailed while the tumors were characterized by images of stiff type formations.
