Infantile Hemangioma With Aggressive, Early-Onset Ulceration, and Kasabach-Merritt-Like Phenomenon in a Newborn.

Infantile hemangiomas (IH) are the most common benign tumors of infancy and progress through recognized stages of evolution including early proliferation, plateau, and involution. Ulceration is a common complication of IHs typically observed during the early proliferative stage characterized by rapid growth. In rare cases, ulceration is the primary clinical manifestation of IHs.

Psoriatic Presentation of Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV).

Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) is a potentially life-threatening single-stranded RNA lentivirus that attacks the body's immune system by infecting CD4 T lymphocytes. If untreated, HIV infection can progress to acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS). With the US prevalence of around 12.

Congenital bullous syphilis in a newborn: A novel approach to diagnosis using immunohistochemical staining on a blister roof.

We describe a rare presentation of congenital bullous syphilis in a premature neonate born with extensive skin desquamation. The newborn was noted to have diffuse erythema with widespread, superficial skin desquamation in addition to plantar bullae and erosions, and an absence of mucosal involvement. Immunohistochemical syphilis diagnostic staining was performed on a blister roof, highlighting a novel diagnostic approach for congenital bullous syphilis.

Diagnosis of Mycosis Fungoides after Dupilumab Treatment for Atopic Dermatitis.

A 46-year-old woman with a medical history of pseudoxanthoma elasticum presented with atopic dermatitis (AD) refractory to topical therapies (topical steroids, tacrolimus, and calcitriol), phototherapy, and excimer laser. Dupilumab was recommended, with resolution of most of her cutaneous infection.

Congenital onychodysplasia of the ring finger presenting as a bifid nail.

Congenital onychodysplasia, or Iso-Kikuchi syndrome, is classically defined as a congenital nail abnormality of one or both index fingers that is often associated with a bone abnormality in the affected finger. We report an unusual case of a 6-year-old girl who presented with an S-shaped, bifid nail of the left ring finger that had been present since birth. X-ray findings were used to confirm a diagnosis of congenital onychodysplasia of the ring finger.

Diagnosis and treatment of low-risk superficial basal cell carcinoma in a single visit.

Introduction: Surgical excision remains the most commonly utilized treatment for superficial basal cell carcinoma (sBCC). In the era of cost containment of healthcare, the rising incidence of BCC and the high cost of excision require a continuous search for efficient and cost-effective management.

Objective: Examine the feasibility of the diagnosis and treatment of low-risk sBCC in a single visit.

Feasibility study of speech recognition for gathering information needs.

Automated speech recognition (ASR) is used in many areas of medicine today. However, not many studies have evaluated the usefulness of ASR applications for capturing clinician information needs in noisy environments. We evaluated 72 ASR transcribed clinician-generated questions and assessed them for semantic and syntactic errors.
