Keratolytic winter erythema with facial involvement: a novel presentation.

Clin Exp Dermatol

Dermatology Department, Worthing and Southlands NHS Trust, UK.

Published: March 2009

We present a 23-year-old woman with a diagnosis of keratolytic winter erythema (erythrokeratolysis hiemalis), who developed facial lesions following a traumatic experience. This rare genodermatosis usually affects the palms and soles, and appears as mild erythema and annular scaling. The limbs and trunk can rarely be affected. To our knowledge, this is the first reported case of facial involvement.

Apolygus lucorum (Hemiptera, Insecta), cosmopolitan true bug, is a major pest of the Chinese jujube (Ziziphus jujuba). To propose control measures of A. lucorum, we investigated the molecular mechanisms of resistance in two varieties of jujube (wild jujube and winter jujube) with different sensitivities to this pest.

This study investigated the effects of exogenous salicylic acid (SA) treatment (0, control; 3 mmol L) on the antioxidant and hormone levels of winter jujube during shelf life (20 d) at 4 °C. The results showed that 3 mmol L SA treatment preferably maintained firmness, color, titratable acidity, and total soluble solids, and effectively reduced the respiratory intensity and TSS/TA value (13.08%) of the fruit.

Cucumber ( L.) is one of the most popular cultivated vegetable crops but it is intrinsically sensitive to cold stress due to its thermophilic nature. To explore the molecular mechanism of plant response to low temperature (LT) and the mitigation effect of exogenous nitric oxide (NO) on LT stress in cucumber, transcriptome changes in cucumber leaves were compared.

Keratolytic Winter Erythema: An Update.

Dermatopathology (Basel)

June 2019

Division of Anatomical Pathology, School of Pathology, Faculty of Health Sciences, University of the Witwatersrand, Johannesburg, South Africa.

Keratolytic winter erythema (KWE) is a rare autosomal dominant keratoderma affecting primarily the palms and soles, manifesting with recurrent waves of erythema followed by epidermal peeling. The condition is so named in view of its anecdotal worsening during the winter months. It is highly penetrant but shows considerable individual clinical variability, waning and reappearing throughout the life course.
