The skin is a large and sophisticated organ populated by innate and adaptive immune effector cells. These immune cells provide a critical first line of defense against pathogens, but genetic and environmental factors can lead to inappropriate signaling that may manifest as hypersensitivity. The most common cutaneous allergic disorders in children include atopic dermatitis, urticaria/angioedema, and contact dermatitis. In this review, we will briefly review these conditions, with a focus on recent developments in our understanding of the diagnosis and management of these disorders.

Osteosarcoma, although the most common malignant bone tumor in long bones, represents only 5-8% of head and neck tumors, making it uncommon for clinicians. Conventional biopsy techniques can complicate diagnosis due to varying tissue representation in surrounding areas. This article discusses a case involving a 19-year-old female who presented with facial swelling and a rapidly growing intraoral mass.

This study developed a self-healing, anti-corrosive coating based on a novel nanocomposite formulation of 8-hydroxyquinoline-5-sulfonic acid-zinc doped polyaniline (HQZn-PA) incorporated into an epoxy matrix. The chemical composition and surface morphology of the synthesized nanocomposite were thoroughly characterized using Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction, nuclear magnetic resonance, and scanning electron microscopy. Electrochemical impedance spectroscopy and potentiodynamic polarization tests confirmed the outstanding corrosion resistance and self-healing efficiency of the coating.

The fast degradation rate of implants of AZ 31 alloy in the physiological body fluid is a critical problem for orthopaedic applications. The surface modification of AZ 31 can regulate fast degradation by depositing a biocompatible composite coating. Herein, chitosan/ iron-doped bioactive glass (Fe-doped BG) particles were deposited on AZ 31 via electrophoretic deposition (EPD) at optimized parameters (electric field 15 V/cm with 5 min as deposition time).
