A Case of Green Nail Syndrome Diagnosed in the Emergency Department.
Cureus
March 2024
Emergency Medicine, Jefferson Health, Stratford, USA.
Article Synopsis
- Green nail syndrome (GNS) is a rare condition characterized by discoloration of nails (green-yellow, green-blue, or green-brown) due to an infection that produces pigments affecting the nail plate.
- A case study highlights a 34-year-old woman with GNS linked to her use of acrylic nails, with the diagnosis made based on clinical appearance and physical exam findings.
- Treatment with ciprofloxacin led to significant improvement within a week and complete resolution in about eight weeks, underlining the importance of understanding GNS to alleviate patient anxiety and ensure effective treatment.
Clinical Characteristics and Therapeutic Aspects of Blaschko Linear Psoriasis.
Dermatol Ther (Heidelb)
April 2024
Department of Dermatology, Guangdong Provincial People's Hospital (Guangdong Academy of Medical Sciences), Southern Medical University, Guangzhou, 510080, Guangdong, China.
Article Synopsis
- Blaschko linear psoriasis (BLP) presents with skin lesions along specific lines and is categorized into two types based on clinical features; it significantly impacts patients both psychologically and medically.
- Involving 74 patients (61 type I, 13 type II) from multiple sources, the study found BLP more common in males, with earlier onset than traditional psoriasis, and typically unilateral distribution that is mostly asymptomatic.
- The research highlighted BLP's characteristics and treatment responses, noting gender tendencies and suggesting that personalized biologic treatments could be more effective alongside standard therapies.
Trace Element Distribution and Arsenic Speciation in Toenails as Affected by External Contamination and Evaluation of a Cleaning Protocol.
Anal Chem
March 2024
TESLA - Analytical Chemistry, Institute of Chemistry, University of Graz, Graz 8010, Austria.
Trace element concentrations in toenail clippings have increasingly been used to measure trace element exposure in epidemeological research. Conventional methods such as inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS) and high-performance liquid chromatography ICP-MS (HPLC-ICP-MS) are commonly used to measure trace elements and their speciation in toenails. However, the impact of the removal of external contamination on trace element quantification has not been thoroughly studied.

Introduction: Chronic osteomyelitis (Chr OM) may result as a sequel of acute hematogenous infection or following open fractures or orthopedic surgeries. Among various osteoarticular infections, Chr OM is one of the most challenging in terms of treatment. In the present study, we evaluate the outcome of antibiotic cement-coated nails in the treatment of chronic pyogenic osteomyelitis and also discuss the future innovations in field of antibiotic-compatible biomaterials for coating the implants.

Toenails are a common monitoring tool for arsenic exposure, but the risk of external contamination of toenails has cast doubt on its usefulness. The main objective of this study is to investigate the micro-distribution of arsenic through the dorsoventral plane of nail clippings to understand endogenous vs exogenous sources. We used laser-ablation inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry to measure arsenic through a dorsoventral cross-section of the nail plate collected from reference (N = 17) and exposed individuals (N = 35).
