AI Article Synopsis
- - A 66-year-old man developed hyperkeratotic plaques on his left cheek and temple after a recent herpes zoster infection in the trigeminal nerve area.
- - A shave biopsy confirmed the condition as postherpetic hyperkeratosis, highlighting a unique case of Wolf’s postherpetic isotopic response.
- - The case aims to raise awareness about this uncommon complication of herpes zoster and the crucial role of vaccination in preventing such postinfection issues.
Article Abstract
A 66-year-old man with a recent history of herpes zoster in the second division of the trigeminal nerve presented with hyperkeratotic plaques along his left cheek and temple. A shave biopsy was found to be consistent with postherpetic hyperkeratosis. This case represents a unique presentation of Wolf's postherpetic isotopic response: a new skin disorder emerging at the site of a previously healed herpetic, predominantly zoster, infection. We aim to increase awareness of an unusual complication of herpes zoster and the importance of appropriate vaccination to help protect patients from these potential postinfection effects.

Lipomas are benign soft tissue tumors composed of mature adipocytes, commonly found in subcutaneous tissues. Despite their prevalence in various body regions, they are relatively rare in the oral and maxillofacial regions. This study retrospectively analyzed the clinical and imaging characteristics, as well as the treatment outcomes of 57 patients diagnosed with lipoma.

Background: Noninvasive mechanical ventilation (NIMV), when in synchronized intermittent mandatory ventilation, continuous positive airway pressure, or patient-triggered ventilation modes, is known to be a cause of facial, nasal, head, and skin pressure injuries in preterm infants.
Objective: The objective of this study is to examine the efficacy of using a checklist with preterm infants under nasal NIMV in preventing facial, nasal, and head pressure injuries.
Method: The study was conducted quasi-experimentally on preterm infants under NIMV.
