Human monkeypox disease.

There has been an alarming rise in human monkeypox cases during these past few months in countries where the disease is not endemic. The recent COVID-19 pandemic and the connection of the monkeypox virus with the smallpox-causing variola virus makes it highly likely to be a candidate for another human health emergency. The transmission mode is predominantly via sexual contact, especially among men who have sex with men (MSM); anogenital lesions are the most typical presentation.

Teledermatology and its Current Perspective.

Teledermatology is one of the most important and commonly employed subsets of telemedicine, a special alternative to face-to-face (FTF) doctor--patient consultation that refers to the use of electronic telecommunication tools to facilitate the provision of healthcare between the "seeker" and "provider." It is used for consultation, education, second opinion, and monitoring medical conditions. This article will review basic concepts, the integration of noninvasive imaging technique images, artificial intelligence, and the current ethical and legal issues.

Linear Patch of Alopecia in a Child: Trichoscopy Reveals the Actual Diagnosis.

Linear scleroderma en coup de sabre (LSCS) is a clinical variant of morphea that presents with a linear alopecic patch over the frontal scalp. Linear alopecia areata may present as a close differential in the incipient stages of LSCS in the pediatric population, especially when the binding down and pigmentary changes characteristic of LSCS have not developed. Histopathology may also be noncontributory in such scenarios.

Footwear Contact Dermatitis: A Prospective Cross-Sectional Study of 108 Outpatients from Delhi, India.

Footwear contact dermatitis is a common problem with multifactorial exogenous, as well as endogenous, etiologies. Patch testing is the gold standard for detection of the possible contactants. A cross-sectional study was conducted in 108 outpatients over a period of 18 months.

Oral Mucosal Lesions in a Cross-Sectional Study of 200 Dermatologic Outpatients.

Oral mucosal lesions (OMLs) present with a variety of manifestations, emanating largely from tobacco chewing, smoking, and consumption of alcohol. Evolution of the lesions may be facilitated by poor oral hygiene and restorative dental materials, as well as by trauma, infections, and immune-mediated diseases. Two hundred consecutive patients seen at a pre-eminent dermatologic clinic formed the study group.

Atopic Dermatitis: Clinical Connotations, Especially a Focus on Concomitant Atopic Undertones in Immunocompromised/Susceptible Genetic and Metabolic Disorders.

Atopic dermatitis (AD) is an intriguing clinical entity. Its clinical connotations are varied, the updates of which are required to be done periodically. An attempt to bring its various facets have been made highlighting its clinical features keeping in view the major and the minor criteria to facilitate the diagnosis, differential diagnosis, complications, and associated dermatoses.
