OBJECTIVE
To examine the association between magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) features of distal phalanx (DP) disease and the progression of nail pathology in psoriatic arthritis (PsA).
METHODS
Clinical nail assessment and hand MRI scans were done on 34 patients with PsA. Twenty patients had repeat
OBJECTIVE
Thyroid disorders are associated with a wide variety of skin disorders that respond to treatment of hormone imbalance in most cases and thus are of vital importance to dermatologists. This study aimed to evaluate skin findings associated with autoimmune and nonautoimmune thyroid disease
BACKGROUND
Yellow nail syndrome (YNS) is a combination of specific nail dystrophy (yellowish or green nails, transverse ridging, increased curvature with "a hump" and distal onycholysis), lymphoedema and respiratory tract involvement (mainly bronchial hyper-responsiveness, recurrent pneumonia,
BACKGROUND
Paclitaxel and trastuzumab are new treatments for patients with metastatic breast cancer.
METHODS
We describe here a 40-year-old female patient with metastatic breast cancer who developed a photosensitive rash 1 month after initiation of paclitaxel and trastuzumab therapy. The eruption
BACKGROUND
Mitoxantrone/prednisone ameliorates symptoms in hormone refractory prostate cancer (HRPC) but has no effect on survival. Docetaxel (Taxotere)/estramustine improves response but with significant toxicity. We reasoned that a sequential administration of the two regimens could be a viable
Docetaxel-induced skin reactions include hypersensitivity, edema, skin toxicity with erythrodysesthesia syndrome, infusion site reactions, alopecia, nail onycholysis, nail pigmentation, photosensitivity, scleroderma, and others, for example, stomatitis and paresthesias. However, of all reported
Docetaxel can cause skin reactions such as hypersensitivity, edema, and erythrodysesthesia syndrome as well as side effects involving the skin, including alopecia, nail onycholysis, nail pigmentation, photosensitivity, scleroderma, and paresthesia. In this case report, a patient was admitted to the
Temsirolimus belongs to the mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR) inhibitors, targeted therapies for which indications are booming in oncology. While their tolerance is usually good, mucocutaneous toxicity is the most common, including stomatitis, rashes, edemas, pruritus, dry skin and nail
Photosensitivity may be phototoxic or photoallergic. Phototoxicity is much more common. There are 2 types of phototoxicity: photodynamic, which requires oxygen, and nonphotodynamic, which does not. Reactions induced by porphyrin molecules, coal tar derivatives, and many drugs are photodynamic. The
The pathophysiologic significance of increased levels of lipoxygenase compounds in psoriatic lesions was assessed in a double-blind randomized clinical study with the 5-lipoxygenase inhibitor, benoxaprofen. Forty patients with psoriasis vulgaris were treated with 600 mg of oral benoxaprofen daily or
