Ocular Manifestations of Patients With Cutaneous Rosacea With and Without Demodex Infection.

Rosacea is a chronic progressive disease that causes inflammation on the skin and the ocular surface. This study aimed to evaluate the effects of Demodex mites on clinical findings associated with rosacea. Sixty patients who were newly diagnosed with rosacea in the dermatology outpatient clinic underwent superficial skin biopsy to determine the density of Demodex species.

Evaluation of serum insulin-like growth factor-1, insulin, glucose levels in patients with adolescent and post-adolescent acne.

Objectives: There are many endogenous and exogenous factors that cause acne formation. This study aimed to determine whether the acne severity in patients with various age ranges is associated with serum insulin-like growth factor, insulin, and glucose and to identify how much they affect the acne severity.

Materials And Methods: In this case-control prospective study, 44 patients with acne vulgaris and 44 age- and gender-matched control subjects without acne were evaluated.

Dermoscopic Findings of Rosacea and Demodicosis.

Background: Rosacea is a common chronic inflammatory disorder affecting the facial skin.

Objectives: Dermoscopy is a noninvasive procedure that is commonly used for the diagnosis of dermatological diseases. This article aims to determine the clinical and dermoscopic manifestations of the rosacea patients and the presence of the accompanying .

The change of causative pathogens in toenail onychomycosis.

Background: Toenail dystrophies are among the most common diseases in adulthood. Onychomycosis is one of the most frequently observed infectious diseases of the nail.

Aim: The aim of this study was to determine the prevalence of fungal agents in the etiology of nail dystrophies such as discoloration, thickening, subungual hyperkeratosis, and onycholysis in toenails and to emphasize the importance of diagnosis by other laboratory confirmation tests since various nail diseases may mimic onychomycosis.

Evaluation of food consumption in patients with acne vulgaris and its relationship with acne severity.

Background: Acne vulgaris is one of the chronic skin diseases with bacterial and perifollicular inflammation in its etiology. In recent years, numerous studies have been conducted on hormones and food consumption, which are thought to affect this inflammation.

Aims: In this study, how effective various possible factors such as food consumption habits and anthropometric measurement are in the etiology and severity of acne was investigated in patients with acne.

Efficacy of Omalizumab in Patients with Chronic Spontaneous Urticaria and Its Association with Serum IgE Levels and Eosinophil Count.

Chronic spontaneous urticaria can be treated with several drugs such as antihistamines, leukotriene antagonists, cyclosporine, doxepin, hydroxychloroquine, colchicine, and corticosteroids. However, treatment-resistant urticaria significantly reduces quality of life. In recent years, omalizumab has been considered to be an effective treatment option in treatment-resistant cases.

The Measurement of Serum Tumor Necrosis Factor-alpha Levels in Patients with Lichen Planus.

Background: Lichen planus is a common mucocutaneous inflammatory skin disease with a multifactorial etiology. Cytokines have a key role in its pathogenesis. In our study, we aimed to investigate the relationship between the disease severity and levels of the tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-α) cytokine which was considered as a primary cytokine that initiates the cytotoxicity.

Inflamed bilateral linear atrophoderma of Moulin in an adult woman: a case report.

Linear atrophoderma of Moulin (LAM) is a rare dermatosis characterized by a hyperpigmented atrophoderma that follows Blaschko's lines, with onset usually occurring during childhood and adolescence. LAM is an etiologically unknown form of dermal atrophy. It is generally characterized by oval or round atrophic, nonsclerotic, hyperpigmented patches following Blaschko's lines.

The measurement of serum TNF-α levels in patients with lichen planus.

Background: Lichen planus is a common mucocutaneous inflammatory skin disease with a multifactorial etiology. Cytokines play a key role in lichen planus pathogenesis. This study investigates the relationship between disease severity and levels of tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α), which is considered a primary cytokine that initiates cytotoxicity.
