Hypomelanosis of Ito is a rare neuroectodermal syndrome characterized by specific cutaneous lesions and frequent musculoskeletal or visceral involvement. We report on a child with an original nephritis with major segmental abnormalities of the glomerular basement membrane. Such an association might not be fortuitous and glomerular involvement might be underestimated in hypomelanosis of Ito.

Purpose: To define the clinical entity of "isolated canalicular pseudoepitheliomatous hyperplasia."

Chronic ingestion of foods containing elevated levels of beta carotene, a common dietary staple endemic in West Africa, may promote the development of yellow to orange hyperpigmentation of the oral mucosa and skin. This benign condition, known as carotenemia or hypercarotenemia, has received little attention in the general dental literature. The aim of this case report is to increase awareness of this phenomenon by describing the clinical presentation of a patient from Nigeria with conspicuous yellow discoloration of the floor of the mouth and soft palatal mucosa.

Zebrafish have the ability, to a certain extent, to distinguish between different types of stimuli, including distinguishing between videos of conspecifics and non-conspecifics, a skill known as stimulus discrimination. In this study, we investigated the effects of oxytocin on this ability in albino and non-albino zebrafish models, focusing on the correlations between albinism, sensory deficiencies, and socio-emotional behaviors. Our hypothesis is based on the premise that oxytocin influences socio-emotional behaviors in zebrafish, with varying effects depending on phenotype (albino vs.

Melanocyte (MC) death represents the basic pathological change of vitiligo. Kaempferol (Kae) is one of the main active ingredients of Tribulus terrestris, which is a commonly used Chinese medicine in the treatment of vitiligo. However, it remains unclear whether Kae can improve MC death, and hence relevant mechanisms need to be further explored.
