Currently, ulcerative sexually transmitted infections, including syphilis, herpes simplex virus (HSV), lymphogranuloma venereum (LGV), chancroid, donovanosis and, more recently, monkeypox (MPOX), represent a growing challenge for health care professionals. The incidence of syphilis and LGV has increased in recent years in Spain. Additionally, HSV, syphilis and chancroid can also increase the risk of HIV acquisition and transmission.

Article Synopsis
- Chancroid is a sexually transmitted infection that causes painful genital ulcers and is now linked to non-sexually transmitted skin ulcers in children, particularly in areas where yaws is common.! -
- The review analyzes the differences between genital and cutaneous ulcer strains, their clinical features, diagnosis, and treatment, while highlighting the decline of genital ulcers compared to the persistence of skin ulcers.! -
- Effective management strategies include targeted treatment for at-risk populations and addressing environmental factors to eliminate cutaneous ulcers in children, with a focus on hygiene and identifying additional infection reservoirs.!

Article Synopsis
- - This study investigates the relationship between male body height and socioeconomic factors like medical care, nutrition, and hygiene, while also considering the impact of regional health conditions during early childhood (ages 1 to 7).
- - Researchers analyzed data from historical statistical references from the early 20th century, focusing on conscripts born between 1906 and 1909, using a method called St. Nicolas House Analysis (SNHA).
- - Findings indicate a link between final male body height and certain diseases (influenza, dysentery, venereal diseases) but not childhood morbidity. However, other growth measures like BMI and weight showed associations with diseases affecting children, suggesting that poor living conditions significantly influenced health outcomes.
