  • Familial Hyperinsulinism Due to HNF4A Deficiency and Benign Premature Adrenarche: a Case Report
    Case Report Familial Hyperinsulinism due to HNF4A Deficiency and Benign Premature Adrenarche: A Case Report Edward Compton,1 David H. Geller,2 Alaina P. Vidmar MD.3 Abstract Background: Familial Hyperinsulinism due to HNF4A deficiency (FHI-HNF4A) is a form of diazoxide-sensitive, diffuse hyperinsulinism, characterized by transient or persistent hyperinsulinemic hypoglycemia, and a propensity to develop Maturity-Onset Diabetes of the Young type 1 (MODY1). The association between FHI-HNF4A deficiency and benign premature adrenarche (BPA) is unknown. The Case: We report the case of a 5-year-old girl with FHI-HNF4A, controlled on diazoxide, who presented with BPA and Tanner stage 3 pubic hair associated with body odor and acne. Work-up revealed elevated dehydroepiandrosterone sulfate (DHEAS), elevated free testosterone, and advanced bone age. Insulin levels were elevated in the setting of normal fasting blood glucose. We discuss the possible hormonal underpinnings of hyperandrogenism. Conclusion: Though the underlying pathophysiology of this phenotype is unclear, a possible synergistic mechanism exists between insulin-induced hyperandrogenism and HNF4A deficiency leading to a transient decrease of SHBG and thus increased free testosterone levels. Further investigation is required to determine the association between HNF4A dysfunction and BPA. Key Words: Hyperinsulinism; Congenital Hyperinsulinism; Adrenarche; HNF4A; Hyperandrogenism (Source: MeSH-NLM). Introduction Congenital hyperinsulinism (CHI) is due to a variety of etiologies that Highlights: result in dysregulated insulin release from pancreatic β-cells. There are Familial Hyperinsulinism due to HNF4A deficiency (FHI-HNF4A) is a two histological variants of CHI, focal and diffuse, which differ in the form of diazoxide-sensitive; diffuse hyperinsulinism, characterized by extent of pancreatic involvement.

JANNIGER, M.D. University of Medicine and Dentistry at New Jersey-New Jersey Medical School, Newark, New Jersey Seborrheic dermatitis affects the scalp, central face, and anterior chest. In adolescents and adults, it often presents as scalp scaling (dandruff). Seborrheic dermatitis also may cause mild to marked erythema of the nasolabial fold, often with scaling. Stress can cause flare-ups. The scales are greasy, not dry, as commonly thought. An uncommon generalized form in infants may be linked to immunodeficiencies. Topical therapy primarily consists of antifungal agents and low-potency steroids. New topical calcineurin inhibitors (immunomodulators) sometimes are administered. (Am Fam Physician 2006;74:125-30.

  • Therapeutic Use of Botulinum Neurotoxins in Dermatology: Systematic Review
    toxins Review Therapeutic Use of Botulinum Neurotoxins in Dermatology: Systematic Review Emanuela Martina †, Federico Diotallevi †, Giulia Radi †, Anna Campanati * and Annamaria Offidani Dermatological Clinic, Department of Clinical and Molecular Sciences, Polytechnic Marche University, 60020 Ancona, Italy; [email protected] (E.M.); [email protected] (F.D.); [email protected] (G.R.); annamaria.offi[email protected] (A.O.) * Correspondence: [email protected] † These authors equally contributed to the manuscript. Abstract: Botulinum toxin is a superfamily of neurotoxins produced by the bacterium Clostridium Botulinum with well-established efficacy and safety profile in focal idiopathic hyperhidrosis. Recently, botulinum toxins have also been used in many other skin diseases, in off label regimen. The objective of this manuscript is to review and analyze the main therapeutic applications of botulinum toxins in skin diseases. A systematic review of the published data was conducted, following Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analysis (PRISMA) guidelines. Botulinum toxins present several label and off-label indications of interest for dermatologists. The best-reported evidence concerns focal idiopathic hyperhidrosis, Raynaud phenomenon, suppurative hidradenitis, Hailey–Hailey disease, epidermolysis bullosa simplex Weber–Cockayne type, Darier’s disease, pachyonychia congenita, aquagenic keratoderma, alopecia, psoriasis, notalgia paresthetica, facial erythema and flushing, and oily skin.

  • An Ayurvedic Approach in the Management of Darunaka (Seborrhoeic Dermatitis): a Case Study
    International Journal of Health Sciences and Research Vol.10; Issue: 4; April 2020 Website: www.ijhsr.org Case Study ISSN: 2249-9571 An Ayurvedic Approach in the Management of Darunaka (Seborrhoeic Dermatitis): A Case Study Kumari Archana1, D.B. Vaghela2 1PhD Scholar, 2Assosiate Professor, Shalakyatantra Department, Institute for Post Graduate Teaching and Research in Ayurveda, Gujarat Ayurved University, Jamnagar, India. Corresponding Author: Kumari Archana ABSTRACT Darunaka is a Kapalagataroga but Acharya Sushruta has described this disease as a Kshudraroga due to the vitiation of Vata and Kapha Doshas with symptoms like Kandu (itching on scalp), Keshachyuti (falling of hair), Swapa(abnormalities of touch sensation on scalp), Rookshata (roughness or dryness of the scalp) and Twaksphutana (breaking or cracking of the scalp skin). Seborrhoeic Dermatitis, an irritative disease of the scalp in which shedding of dead tissue from the scalp with itching sensation is the cardinal feature which can be correlated with Darunaka. It has been reported that Seborrhoeic Dermatitisaffect about 4% of the population, and dandruff (which is mild seborrhoeic dermatitis of the scalp) can affect almost half of all adults. It can start at any time after puberty and is slightly commoner in men. It can result in social or self-esteem problems. A 56 yr old male patient from Jamnagar came to OPD of ShalakyaTantra, with chief complaint of ShirahKandu (itching on scalp), Rukshata (dryness on scalp), TwakSphutana (cracks in the skin) with blood mixed watery oozing, KeshaChyuti (hair fall). In this case Ayurvedic formulation of ArogyavardhiniVati (orally), TriphalaChurna (orally), ManjisthadiKwatha (orally), YashtiChurna mixed with coconut hair oil as external application followed by washing the hair with a Kwatha (decoction) of TriphalaYavkut and ShuddhaTankana.
