Multiple eruptive dermatofibromas (MEDF) is a rare dermatological condition characterized by the sudden appearance of multiple benign skin lesions, often associated with systemic or autoimmune conditions. This case series describes three female patients with MEDF, highlighting their distinct clinical features and systemic associations. Diagnoses were confirmed through consistent histopathological findings, demonstrating the importance of integrating clinical, dermoscopic, and histopathological evaluations in diagnosing MEDF. The differential diagnosis included other dermatological conditions with overlapping features, which were excluded based on clinical and pathological findings. This report emphasizes the potential role of immune dysregulation and genetic predisposition in MEDF pathogenesis. It underscores the need for further research to understand its mechanisms better, improve diagnostic accuracy, and establish standardized management approaches.

Although SARS-CoV-2 primarily targets the upper respiratory system, its evolving clinical profile has revealed a diverse range of manifestations across multiple organ systems. Emerging evidence increasingly highlights various skin manifestations associated with the virus. This report details the case of a patient who developed a rapidly progressive urticarial dermatosis, characterized by both urticarial and erythema multiforme-like features, five weeks after a SARS-CoV-2 infection.

Ceftriaxone is a widely used third-generation cephalosporin antibiotic known for its efficacy and safety. However, hypersensitivity reactions, including rare cases of generalized bullous fixed drug eruption (GBFDE), have been reported. We present the case of a 68-year-old female with a history of multiple comorbidities who developed a generalized bullous drug eruption two days after initiating intravenous ceftriaxone for a suspected respiratory infection.

Grazing shapes rangelands globally, but it is difficult to study. Acoustic monitoring enables grazing to be described in terms of jaw movements, which are fundamental to how herbivores interact with their foraging environment. In an observational study on Mediterranean herbaceous rangeland, 10 beef cattle cows were monitored continuously over multiple days in two seasons.

Case Study of a Broken Instrument in a Primary Tooth and Literature Review.

Children (Basel)

January 2025

Department of Pediatric Dentistry, Graduate School of Biomedical and Health Sciences, Hiroshima University, 1-2-3 Kasumi, Minami-ku, Hiroshima 734-8553, Japan.

Background: Root canal treatment is an important element of dental treatment, and broken instruments are one cause of endodontic treatment failure. Broken instruments are rarely reported in primary teeth because of their inherently wider and relatively straighter root canals. We describe a case of a patient with a broken instrument in a primary tooth and reviewed the literature across three databases.
