Aim: Studies on pediatric skin diseases in Turkey are not yet sufficient. It was aimed to characterize the prevalence of skin diseases, age and gender distribution in children living in the Erzincan region.
Material And Methods: 10,115 children aged 0-16 years who reached to our outpatient clinic between 01.11.2014 and 30.11.2016 were included in the study. The frequency, age and gender distribution of the skin diseases were examined. The cases were divided into 4 groups; infantile period (0-2 years), preschool period (3-5 years), school period (6-11 years) and adolescence period (12-16 years). Skin diseases were categorized in 10 groups. A total of 148 skin diseases were identified.
Results: 5376 of the patients were female (%53.14) and 4739 were male (%46.86). The most common disease groups are; infectious diseases (24.62%), eczema (21.95%), acne&follicular diseases (18.45%) and allergic skin diseases (11.02%). The most common diseases were acne vulgaris (17.82%), warts (10.03%) and irritant contact dermatitis (9.42%). The most common skin diseases in regard of different age groups are; contact dermatitis in the 0-2 years and 3-5 years age groups, warts in the 6-11 years age group, and acne vulgaris in 12-16 years age group.
Conclusion: Most common diseases in our study are diseases that can be reduced by preventive health care and health education programs. There is a need for broad-based epidemiological studies in this area to establish preventive health care policies and to develop education programs.

Single cell studies have transformed our understanding of cellular heterogeneity in disease but the need for fresh starting material can be an obstacle, especially in the context of international multicenter studies and archived tissue. We developed a protocol to obtain high-quality cells and nuclei from dissected human skeletal muscle archived in the preservative Allprotect® Tissue Reagent. After fluorescent imaging microscopy confirmed intact nuclei, we performed four protocol variations that compared sequencing metrics between cells and nuclei enriched by either filtering or flow cytometry sorting.

A man in his 60s suffered from refractory, biopsy-proven subacute cutaneous lupus erythematosus that required chronic, moderate dose steroids to manage. His rash was accompanied by arthralgias and negative autoantibody testing. His subacute lupus erythematosus (SCLE) was responsive to tofacitinib, but thrombotic complications limited the use of this medication.

Pediatric antibiotic labels are common, and unnecessary antibiotic avoidance is associated with negative personal and public health outcomes; as a result, there is an increasing emphasis on the importance of pediatric antibiotic allergy evaluations. Different testing strategies have been advised, including skin testing and challenge testing with varied doses and duration. Established consensus testing protocols are lacking.

Ichthyoses are a heterogeneous group of diseases sharing symptoms and a common etiopathogenic mechanism. Clinically, these diseases are characterized by the presence of erythema and variable degrees of skin thickening and desquamation. Although the affected area, severity, and molecular substrate are very variable, they are all signs of a disruption of the barrier formed during epidermal differentiation.

Background: The goal of this study was to examine autonomic nervous system function by measuring heart rate (HR), heart rate variability (HRV), skin conductance levels (SCL), and peripheral skin temperature (ST) in response to and during recovery from psychosocial stressors in patients with functional somatic syndromes (FSS; fibromyalgia and/or chronic fatigue syndrome), stress-related syndromes (SRS; overstrain or burn-out), and healthy controls (HC).
Methods: Patients with FSS (n = 26), patients with SRS (n = 59), and HC (n = 30) went through a standardized psychosocial stress test consisting of a resting phase (120 s), the STROOP color word task (120 s), a mental arithmetic task (120 s) and a stress talk (120 s), each followed by a 120 s recovery period. HR, HRV, SCL, and ST were monitored continuously.
