A case of pyogenic granuloma in a 62-year-old hand surgeon secondary to friction blister is reported. He developed a fast growing, hypertrophic inflammatory papule consisting of exceptionally richly vascularized granular tissue. This dusky red lesion was located on the thenar part of the hand. We find no prior report of PG attributed to friction blister.

Friction blisters are common among outdoor enthusiasts, yet their causes remain uncertain. This study aimed to compare foot hydration in long-distance hikers with and without blisters, and to assess variability based on age and sex. An observational case-control study involving 86 hikers was conducted.

Article Synopsis
- Hailey-Hailey disease (HHD) is a rare genetic skin condition causing recurrent vesicles on red, irritated skin, particularly in friction-prone areas, and it significantly affects patients' mental and social well-being.
- There is no standard treatment for HHD, prompting researchers to conduct a systematic review analyzing biologics and small molecule inhibitors as potential therapies for the condition, focusing on 31 patients from 18 studies.
- The review found that treatments like dupilumab and apremilast showed clinical improvement with few serious side effects, but some patients still experienced relapses, indicating the need for further research through larger clinical trials.

Department of Biomedical Sciences, School of Health Sciences, University of West Attica, GR-12243 Athens, Greece.
Article Synopsis
- Skin injuries are common in the sports community, particularly in beach volleyball, and include various types like wounds, bruises, and blisters.
- A study of 785 beach volleyball athletes in Greece aimed to evaluate injury rates, locations, and seasonal patterns while considering factors like age, gender, and training habits.
- Findings indicated significant correlations between injury types and factors such as gender and training duration, highlighting the importance of injury prevention for maintaining health and athletic performance.
Evaluating the in vitro wettability and coefficient of friction of a novel and contemporary reusable silicone hydrogel contact lens materials using an in vitro blink model.

Article Synopsis
- - The study aimed to assess the wettability and friction properties of a new amphiphilic polymeric surfactant (APS) in a silicone hydrogel (SiHy) contact lens material called serafilcon A, comparing it with other reusable SiHy lenses.
- - Over 7 days, serafilcon A showed a significant drop in released APS, with fluorescence indicating a 50% decrease from day 1 to day 7 and increased contact angles, suggesting reduced wettability.
- - Other SiHy lenses maintained stable wettability and friction measurements over time, with only samfilcon A showing changes in contact angle and coefficient of friction after a longer wear period.
