The unitary mammary gland is a synapomorphy of therian mammals and is thought to have evolved from the pilosebaceous organ in the mammalian stem lineage from which the lactogenic patch of monotremes is also derived. One of the key lines of evidence for the homology of the nipple and the lactogenic patch is that marsupials have retained a transient hair associated with developing mammary glands. However, these structures have not been documented since the early 20th-century drawings of Ernst Bresslau.

We investigated the surface orthogonal patterning and bidirectional self-assembly of binary hairy nanoparticles (NPs) constructed by uniformly tethering a single NP with multiple V-shaped AB diblock copolymers using Brownian dynamics simulations in a poor solvent. At low concentration, the chain collapse and microphase separation of binary polymer brushes can lead to the patterning of the NP surface into A- and B-type orthogonal patches with various numbers of domains (valency), = 1-6, that adopt spherical, linear, triangular, tetrahedral, square pyramidal, and pentagonal pyramidal configurations. There is a linear relationship between the valency and the average ratio of NP diameter to the polymers' unperturbed root-mean-square end-to-end distance for the corresponding valency.

We describe a rare case of a 54-year-old female with hairy cell leukemia, who following treatment for neutropenic sepsis, developed an extensive severe maculopapular exanthema with perifollicular hemorrhage. Cladribine, cotrimoxazole, allopurinol, domperidone, amikacin, piperacillin/tazobactam, and meropenem had all been given in the 9 days prior to eruption onset. Three months later, drug patch testing/delayed intradermal testing was positive to cotrimoxazole, trimethoprim, amikacin, piperacillin/tazobactam, and meropenem, with additional evidence of penicillin cross-reactivity.

Pigmented hairy epidermal nevus, also known as Becker's nevus, has a typical description as a unilateral, hairy in appearance, light to dark brown patch with an irregular but clearly defined border. However, the exact aetiopathogenesis is still poorly comprehended. We report the case of a 19-year-old female who presented with asymptomatic brownish-pigmented macular lesions on the right breast that had slowly increased in size over the past three years.
