We present a case of a nine-year-old boy who presented with a one-year history of an itchy rash on his legs associated with peripheral eosinophilia. The rash initially started as an annular plaque and developed raised borders with central hyperpigmentation.

Current treatments for chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), a common respiratory condition, include oxygen therapy and steroids for temporary relief. In this study, we established a rat model of cigarette smoke (CS)-induced COPD and investigated the benefits of a hydrogen-oxygen generator in this model. CS-exposed rats were treated using either a hydrogen-oxygen generator or a steroid.

Article Synopsis
  • - Neutrophilic figurate erythema (NFE) is a rare skin condition that resembles erythema annulare centrifugum (EAC) but is characterized by a neutrophil-dominated inflammatory response in the skin.
  • - A case study of a 32-year-old military male showed a chronic skin rash that started five years ago, resistant to multiple antifungal treatments, with no identifiable triggers or improvement post-deployment.
  • - Diagnosis of NFE can be challenging due to its rarity, with only 15 known cases, and it may require specific treatment focusing on anti-neutrophil therapy rather than standard antifungal options.
