The arginine test is highly useful in the evaluation of short-stature children and adolescents. Extravasation of arginine can cause full-thickness skin necrosis that requires serious surgical intervention with aesthetic and functional sequellea. The authors describe a case of distal forearm skin necrosis caused by arginine extravasation that was treated by wide debridement and a combination of groin flap and later with split-thickness skin graft. The authors emphasize the need for early and active management of arginine extravasation injuries.

Depending on the depth of a burn, management ranges from local wound care to surgical intervention. When presented with deep-partial thickness and full-thickness burns, autologous skin grafting has been the mainstay of management to prevent scarring and promote healing.

Objectives: Diabetes mellitus is a chronic disease that has become more prevalent worldwide because of lifestyle changes. It leads to serious complications, including increased atherosclerosis, protein glycosylation, endothelial dysfunction, and vascular denervation. These complications impair neovascularization and wound healing, resulting in delayed recovery from injuries and an elevated risk of infections.

The crosstalk between different cell death pathways-such as apoptosis, necroptosis, and neutrophil extracellular trap (NETosis), plays a pivotal role in the pathogenesis of SLE, influencing both cutaneous and cardiac manifestations. Cutaneous lupus erythematosus (CLE) is one of the most common early signs of SLE, affecting up to 80% of patients.
