Effectiveness of Local Glucocorticoid Infiltration Versus Traditional Gauze Bandaging for the Treatment of Onychocryptosis: A Randomized Controlled Trial.
Healthcare (Basel)
October 2024
Department of Nursing, University of Valencia, Menéndez y Pelayo Av. 19, 46010 Valencia, Spain.
Background/objectives: Local intralesional corticosteroid injections into the periungual fold are used to treat patients with onychocryptosis, but their short- or medium-term effects are unknown. The goal was to compare the efficacy of this treatment in stages IIa, IIb, and III of the condition with a common conservative method such as gauze bandaging.
Methods: A two-arm randomized trial with 40 patients with stage IIa, IIb, and III onychocryptosis equally assigned into two treatment groups-control (spiculotomy and application of gauze bandaging) and experimental group (spiculotomy and infiltration of corticosteroid)-was performed.
Article Synopsis
- A 47-year-old woman with a history of drug-resistant epilepsy was admitted to the emergency department due to sudden shortness of breath and chest pain, revealing low oxygen levels and signs of pulmonary issues.
- Imaging tests showed cystic lung lesions consistent with lymphangioleiomyomatosis and a collapsed lung, which was treated with a chest tube.
- Further examinations identified skin and kidney tumors related to angiomyolipoma, confirmed through biopsy, and genetic testing led to a diagnosis that prompted treatment with everolimus and dexamethasone.
A Comparative Study of the Efficacy of Intralesional Measles Mumps Rubella (MMR) Vaccine and Auto Implantation for the Treatment of Periungual and Palmoplantar Warts: A Randomized Controlled Trial.
Indian Dermatol Online J
August 2024
Department of Dermatology, Dr. Sampurnanand Medical College, Jodhpur, Rajasthan, India.
Article Synopsis
- Warts, caused by human papillomavirus (HPV), can be treated using immunotherapy methods like the intralesional MMR vaccine and auto implantation to stimulate the immune system, leading to effective wart removal.
- A study involving 160 patients compared the two methods, with one group receiving the MMR vaccine and the other undergoing auto implantation.
- Results showed that the MMR vaccine had a higher success rate (86% excellent response) compared to auto implantation (71%), with both methods yielding low recurrence rates and minimal side effects.
Delayed Complete Clearance of Recalcitrant Warts Due to Intralesional Measles, Mumps, and Rubella: Case Report and Review.

Department of Dermatology, Fakeeh University Hospital, Dubai, ARE.
Warts are a prevalent skin condition that can affect people of any age. They are caused by the human papillomavirus (HPV), a double-stranded DNA virus that can cause benign and malignant lesions and remains latent in the host cells, leading to recurrences. Although warts are benign and spontaneous clearance has been reported over the years, they often cause disfigurement, tend to koebnerize, and can be transmitted to others, making adequate and timely treatment important.

August 2024
Department of Clinical Sciences and Community Health, University of Milan, Milan, Italy.
Article Synopsis
- Pyogenic granuloma (PG) is a benign growth on the skin or mucosa that appears as a painful red nodule and can lead to complications like bleeding and infections.
- Its exact cause is not well understood, but multiple lesions can arise from systemic conditions or certain medications, including cancer treatments and hormone therapies.
- A specific case involves a 21-year-old woman with juvenile systemic lupus erythematosus who developed multiple PGs during treatment with belimumab, suggesting that PG can be induced by rheumatologic medications.
