We hope that you will continue to think of the JAOCD first when you are submit- ting your journal papers. The JAOCD will continue to have an emphasis on residents and supporting the future of dermatology. Besides case reports, the journal has several other sections in which we encourage authors to submit papers, including therapy, current opinions, basic science, dermatologic surgery, dermatopathology, cosmetic dermatology, pearls, and pharmaceutical dermatology. The JAOCD has now transitioned to a completely online submission process through Editorial Manager at www.editorialmanager.com/jaocd. The process has taken some getting used to for everyone involved, but most of the issues have been worked out. The process is getting easier for authors, reviewers, and the editors, and this will only make our journal stronger in the long run. In addition, we would like to thank the reviewers of the JAOCD for your endless efforts to help improve the quality of each and every article we publish. Without you, we would not be able

For diagnositic usefulness during a consult, you cannot beat magnification (Dr. Nicole Rogers even won the poster competition in Alaska with a little device like this)! If you are not already using it for your patients, having a camera like this (or a video microscope) enables instant analysis and feedback for your patient. They will love it and you will, too.

Baumgardner, MD Aurora University of Wisconsin Medical Group, Aurora Health Care, Milwaukee, WI; Department of Family Medicine and Community Health, University of Wisconsin School of Medicine and Public Health, Madison, WI; Center for Urban Population Health, Milwaukee, WI Abstract Fungal infections in humans resulting from human or animal contact are relatively uncommon, but they include a significant proportion of dermatophyte infections. Some of the most commonly encountered diseases of the integument are dermatomycoses. Human or animal contact may be the source of all types of tinea infections, occasional candidal infections, and some other types of superficial or deep fungal infections. This narrative review focuses on the epidemiology, clinical features, diagnosis and treatment of anthropophilic dermatophyte infections primarily found in North America.

  • Also Called Androgenetic Alopecia) Is a Common Type of Hereditary Hair Thinning
    750 West Broadway Suite 905 - Vancouver BC V5Z 1H8 Phone: 604.283.9299 Fax: 604.648.9003 Email: [email protected] Web: www.donovanmedical.com Female Pattern Hair Loss Female pattern hair loss (also called androgenetic alopecia) is a common type of hereditary hair thinning. Although hair may become quite thin, women do not become bald as in men. Hair thinning starts as early as the teenage years, but usually in the twenties and thirties and is usually fully expressed by the age of 40. How can one recognize female pattern hair loss? § Typically, a female in her teens, twenties or thirties gradually becomes aware that she has less hair on the top of her head than previously. § She may notice that her scalp has become slightly visible now and it takes more effort to style the hair to hide the thinning. § The size of the ponytail becomes smaller in diameter. § While all this is happening, she may also notice that her hair becomes greasy and stringy more quickly and she shampoos more often to keep the hair looking fuller volume. § One of the earliest signs of androgenetic alopecia is widening of the ‘central part’ (down the middle of the scalp). The spacing between hairs gradually increases. The thinning gradually becomes diffuse and may be present all over the scalp but is usually most pronounced over the top and sides of the head. § There is much variation in the diameter and length of hairs – some and thick and long while others are fine and short. This variation in size represents the gradual miniaturization of hair follicles- they become smaller and smaller.

  • Alopecia Areata Part 1: Pathogenesis, Diagnosis, and Prognosis
    Clinical Review Alopecia areata Part 1: pathogenesis, diagnosis, and prognosis Frank Spano MD CCFP Jeff C. Donovan MD PhD FRCPC Abstract Objective To provide family physicians with a background understanding of the epidemiology, pathogenesis, histology, and clinical approach to the diagnosis of alopecia areata (AA). Sources of information PubMed was searched for relevant articles regarding the pathogenesis, diagnosis, and prognosis of AA. Main message Alopecia areata is a form of autoimmune hair loss with a lifetime prevalence of approximately 2%. A personal or family history of concomitant autoimmune disorders, such as vitiligo or thyroid disease, might be noted in a small subset of patients. Diagnosis can often be made clinically, based on the characteristic nonscarring, circular areas of hair loss, with small “exclamation mark” hairs at the periphery in those with early stages of the condition. The diagnosis of more complex cases or unusual presentations can be facilitated by biopsy and histologic examination. The prognosis varies widely, and poor outcomes are associated with an early age of onset, extensive loss, the ophiasis variant, nail changes, a family history, or comorbid autoimmune disorders. Conclusion Alopecia areata is an autoimmune form of hair loss seen regularly in primary care. Family physicians are well placed to identify AA, characterize the severity of disease, and form an appropriate differential diagnosis. Further, they are able educate their patients about the clinical course of AA, as well as the overall prognosis, depending on the patient subtype.

  • Rapunzel Syndrome: a Case Report and Literature Review
    Case Report Annals of Short Reports Published: 10 Jun, 2020 Rapunzel Syndrome: A Case Report and Literature Review Hemonta KD* Department of Pediatric Surgery, Assam Medical College, India Abstract Rapunzel syndrome is an extremely rare clinical condition in children. Usually affects girls of adolescent age group with history of hair ingestion (trichophagia) and trichotillomania (hair- pulling). Patients present with vague abdominal pain and bowel obstruction caused by a hairball in the stomach, with its tail extending into duodenum and beyond. We report a case of 13-year-old girl with poor general condition, who presented with recurrent abdominal pain, vomiting and a palpable mass in the abdomen. She gave history of trichophagia and trichotillomania for more than two years. On exploration, a large trichobezoar with a tail was noted in the stomach, duodenum and proximal jejunum. The bezoar was removed. The girl had uneventful recovery. She received psychiatric treatment and improved. Introduction Rapunzel syndrome is characterized by presence of hairballs or hair-like fibers in the stomach and intestine. These results from chewing and swallowing hair or any other indigestible materials (trichophagia) often associated with hair-pulling disorder (trichotillomania) in young girls [1-3]. The syndrome is named after the long-haired girl ‘Rapunzel’ in the fairy tale by the Brothers Grimm [4]. We present a case of Rapunzel syndrome in an adolescent girl, who needed surgical removal of the hairball and psychiatric treatment. Case Presentation A 13-year old girl with poor general condition presented with recurrent abdominal pain with distension, vomiting and constipation. She had a palpable mass in the epigastric region.
