  • Vibratory Urticaria
    Vibratory urticaria Description Vibratory urticaria is a condition in which exposing the skin to vibration, repetitive stretching, or friction results in allergy symptoms such as hives (urticaria), swelling ( angioedema), redness (erythema), and itching (pruritus) in the affected area. The reaction can be brought on by towel drying, hand clapping, running, a bumpy ride in a vehicle, or other repetitive stimulation. Headaches, fatigue, faintness, blurry vision, a metallic taste in the mouth, facial flushing, and more widespread swelling (especially of the face) can also occur during these episodes, especially if the stimulation is extreme or prolonged. The reaction occurs within a few minutes of the stimulation and generally lasts up to an hour. Affected individuals can have several episodes per day. Frequency Vibratory urticaria is a rare disorder; its prevalence is unknown. It belongs to a class of disorders called physical urticarias in which allergy symptoms are brought on by direct exposure to factors such as pressure, heat, cold, or sunlight. Physical urticarias have been estimated to occur in up to 5 per 1,000 people. Causes Vibratory urticaria can be caused by a mutation in the ADGRE2 gene. This gene provides instructions for making a protein found in several types of immune system cells, including mast cells. Mast cells, which are found in many body tissues including the skin, are important for the normal protective functions of the immune system. They also play a role in allergic reactions, which occur when the immune system overreacts to stimuli that are not harmful. The specific role of the ADGRE2 protein in mast cells is not well understood.

    Global Dermatology Clinical Case ISSN: 2056-7863 Integrative approach to a difficult trichology patient Natalie Barunova* International Scientific-Practical Centre “Trichology”, Moscow, Russia Abstract Folliculitis decalvans belongs to a group of primary cicatricial alopecias with neutrophilic inflammation of the scalp. It is characterized by recurrent purulent follicular exudation with inevitable destruction of pilosebaceous unit as an outcome of the disease. Staphylococcus aureus is supposed to play an important role in the pathogenesis of the disease. The treatment is usually focused on the eradication of S. aureus. A clinical case of effective adjuvant treatment of folliculitis decalvans patient is presented in this manuscript. The previous traditional treatment with antibiotics, topical glucocorticosteroids, oral prednisone and retinoid treatment had minor efficacy and subsequent recurrence. Integrative approach to this difficult case brought the patient into remission and improve the patient’s condition.

However, there are common nail conditions that require special management. This article considers nail presentations in leprosy patients. General and specific conditions will be discussed. It also considers the common nail conditions seen in leprosy patients and provides a guide to diagnosis and management. Keywords: Leprosy, nails, neuropathy, multibacillary leprosy, paucibacillary leprosy, acro-osteolysis, bone atrophy, type 2 lepra reaction, anonychia, clofazimine, dapsone. INTRODUCTION Leprosy can cause damage to the nails, generally indirectly. There are few reviews about the Leprosy is a chronic granulomatous infection affectation of the nails due to leprosy. Nails are caused by Mycobacterium leprae, known keratin-based elements of the skin structure that since ancient times and with great historical are often omitted from the dermatological connotations.1 This infection is not fatal but affects assessment of leprosy. However, there are the skin and peripheral nerves. The disease causes common nail conditions that require diagnosis cutaneous lesions, skin lesions, and neuropathy, and management.

    FULL TEXT BOOK Scientific Program Lecture Summaries Oral Presentations Poster Presentations 1 INVITATION Dear colleagues, We are pleased to announce the 5th INDERCOS Congress, taking place 12-15 March 2020 in İstanbul-TURKEY. The main topics of this meeting will be “Immunogenetics in Dermatology and Aging”. Through plenaries and parallel workshop sessions, we aim to share insights and experiences and discuss how advances in aesthetic and general dermatology. In order to success this, we have very distinctive international speakers with extensive experience and a range of expertise across aesthetic dermatology and dermatology. Several major histocompatibility complex and nonmajor histocompatibility complex genetic polymorphisms have been identified which may contribute to the inflammatory skin diseases and skin aging. Most of these genetic variants are associated with mechanisms attributed to the pathogenesis of skin disease and aging, including pathways involved in cytokines, chemokine and vitamin regulation and ultraviolet light exposure and other environmental factors. Immunogenetics is a subspeciality of medicine that studies the relationship between genetics and immunology. Immunogenetics helps in understanding the pathogenesis of several autoimmune, malign, infectious skin diseases and also skin aging. 5th INDERCOS congress focuses on the genetic research areas of autoimmune skin diseases such as connective tissue diseases, psoriasis, skin cancers, vasculitis, skin aging and skin infections. Lectures on genetics of cell interaction with immune system, immune response to transplantation, immune based therapies for treatment of cancers and inflammatory skin diseases and aging, antigenic phylogeny of alleles, alloantigens will be discussed. We hope you will be together with us in this fascinating, high quality scientifically educational congress and we look forward to your precious participation and feedback.
