Crimean-Congo hemorrhagic fever (CCHF) is a zoonotic viral disease. We aimed to investigate the cutaneous manifestations of CCHF and reveal their associations with fatality. Two hundred and sixty-nine patients diagnosed with CCHF were assessed. Skin findings were observed in 170 (63.2%) patients. A facial rash was the most common cutaneous finding (n = 82, 30.5%). In severe cases, hemorrhagic cutaneous manifestations (petechiae and ecchymoses) were recognized. A statistically significant correlation was obtained between cutaneous manifestations and fatality, and it was determined that there was a strong positive correlation between fatality and ecchymosis (r = 567, p < 0.001). In addition, a logistic regression analysis was performed, and death occurred 4.69 times more in those with skin signs than in those without. We hypothesize that CCHF patients with ecchymosis are at the highest risk and that cutaneous findings can contribute to the prognosis of CCHF.

Adenoid cystic carcinoma (ACC) is a rare head and neck cancer; even more infrequently, it presents as a primary lesion at other sites. Due to ACC's usual pattern of perineural and perivascular spread, it often manifests in delayed local recurrence and distant metastases. Metastasis to the kidney is very rare with as few as 15 cases reported in the literature.

Backgrounds And Aims: Submental skin laxity (SSL), manifesting as sagging skin and double chin, can significantly affect patients' self-perception and social interactions. While surgical treatments exist, non-invasive methods are increasingly sought for their minimal recovery time. This study assesses the safety and effectiveness of a novel microwave-based device for treating SSL, aiming to provide long-term improvements in skin tightness and appearance.

Introduction: Psoriatic arthritis is a complex disease, and human leukocyte antigens (HLA) are key to its development. Latin America and, specifically, Colombia, has scarce data about patients with psoriatic arthritis.
Objective: To describe the genotypic, allelic and haplotypic frequency of HLA alleles in psoriatic arthritis and associate them with clinical variables.
