Published: January 2013

Hidrocystomas are rare cystic lesions that form benign tumours of the sweat glands. In this report, a clinical case of multiple apocrine hidrocystomas on both the upper and lower eyelids, and on both the malar regions has been discussed. These lesions are less likely than the eccrine lesions to occur at the periorbital region.

Surgical Outcomes for Nonmelanoma Skin Cancer of the Head and Neck.

Ann Plast Surg

January 2025

Department of Plastic Surgery, First Affiliated Hospital of Kunming Medical University, Kunming City, Yunnan Province, China.

Objectives: There is no consensus on elective lymphatic dissection of the parotid and neck for nonmelanoma skin cancer (NMSC) due to challenges in detecting occult spread to these regions. This study aimed to summarize clinical data and evaluate correlations between risk factors, nodular metastasis, and the need for elective parotidectomy in patients with cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma (CSCC), Merkel cell carcinoma (MCC), and apocrine carcinoma (AC) of the head and neck, all with clear surgical margins and negative imaging results for regional metastases.

Study Design: We retrospectively reviewed 166 patients with CSCC, one with MCC, and one with AC of the head and neck, all treated surgically between September 2006 and July 2022.

Deep cutaneous wounds, which are difficult to heal and specifically occur on dynamic body surfaces, remain a substantial healthcare challenge in clinical practice because of multiple underlying factors, including excessive reactive oxygen species, potential bacterial infection, and extensive degradation of the extracellular matrix (ECM) which further leads to the progressive deterioration of the wound microenvironment. Any available individual wound therapy, such as antibiotic-loaded cotton gauze, cannot address all these issues. Engineering an advanced multifunctional wound dressing is the current need to promote the overall healing process of such wounds.

Hormones control normal breast development and function. They also impinge on breast cancer (BC) development and disease progression in direct and indirect ways. The major ovarian hormones, estrogens and progesterone, have long been established as key regulators of mammary gland development in rodents and linked to human disease.

Pathophysiological Significance of α-Synuclein in Sympathetic Nerves: In Vivo Observations.

Neurology

February 2025

From the Autonomic Medicine Section, Clinical Neurosciences Program, Division of Intramural Research, National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke, NIH, Bethesda, MD.

Background And Objectives: Lewy body diseases (LBDs) such as Parkinson disease (PD) feature increased deposition of α-synuclein (α-syn) in cutaneous sympathetic noradrenergic nerves. The pathophysiologic significance of sympathetic intraneuronal α-syn is unclear. We reviewed data about immunoreactive α-syn, tyrosine hydroxylase (TH, a marker of catecholaminergic fibers), and the sympathetic neurotransmitter norepinephrine (NE) in skin biopsies from control participants and patients with PD, the related LBD pure autonomic failure (PAF), the non-LBD synucleinopathy multiple system atrophy (MSA), or neurologic postacute sequelae of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (neuro-PASC).
