Key Clinical Message: The modified nail folding approach, a new surgical technique, has been shown to be safe and effective for the treatment of subungual glomus tumors, providing clinicians with a new treatment option for patients with this condition.
Abstract: Glomus tumors (GTs) are rare benign tumors that originate from the glomus body in the skin of the fingertips, toes, and nail beds. GTs are more prevalent in women than in men and can occur sporadically or as part of an inherited condition known as multiple GTs. The exact cause of GTs is unknown, but it is believed that mutations in the cells of the glomus body contribute to their development. In this study, we present the efficacy of a novel surgical technique called the modified nail folding approach for treating subungual GTs. We report a case series involving 17 patients who underwent the nail folding approach for surgical removal of subungual GTs. The primary objective of this article is to provide evidence supporting the safety and effectiveness of this technique. Additionally, we aim to introduce clinicians to a new, secure, and efficient treatment option for patients with subungual GTs.

Chronic occupational paronychia secondary to digital pilonidal sinus from dog grooming.

Objectives Pilonidal sinus is a recognized occupational condition sometimes seen in barbers and pet groomers, and it involves most commonly interdigital spaces. We present a previously unreported case of chronic paronychia with two separate digital pilonidal sinuses resulting from multiple embedded hair fragments in the eponychium of a dog groomer, who had been repeatedly treated with antibiotics with no success and ended up to surgical treatment. The objective of this study is to remind readers of this rare but possible occupational disease, particularly among employees working with hair, and to emphasize the importance of preventive measures to prevent its occurrence.

Radio-Tartaglia syndrome (RATARS) (MIM#619312) is a genetic disorder caused by heterozygous truncating variants of SPEN on chromosome 1p36. This syndrome is extremely rare, with only 34 cases reported to date. RATARS is characterized by developmental delay, hypotonia, and intellectual disability.

Article Synopsis
- Down syndrome (DS) is a common condition caused by an extra chromosome 21, leading to various health issues, including skin problems that are often overlooked by healthcare providers.
- This study examined 100 individuals with DS and 100 matched controls to identify skin conditions prevalent in DS and highlighted the need for routine skin evaluations during health check-ups.
- Results showed a high occurrence of skin-related issues in the DS group, such as dry skin and hair thinning, and indicated significant differences in the presence of certain skin infections and conditions compared to the control group.

Article Synopsis
- Psoriasis is a chronic skin disease driven by genetics, but there's limited research on how its genetic risk impacts patient experiences, especially across different ethnic backgrounds.
- This study analyzed data from 607 psoriasis patients to create a Polygenic Risk Score (PRS) based on genetic markers, exploring how these scores relate to various clinical factors like age of onset and response to treatment.
- Findings revealed that genetic factors differ in their impact on psoriasis symptoms and comorbidities, with certain associations being more pronounced in specific ethnic groups, indicating that both HLA and non-HLA genes play unique roles in the disease's expression.
