Cutaneous viral warts – can retinoids change routine management?
Cutaneous viral warts (CVW) are a common condition encountered by many physicians of different disciplines. CVW can be self-limiting, especially in the pediatric population, although spontaneous regression could be prolonged and last months to years. However, treatment is sought by many who are unwilling to wait for spontaneous clearance, by those who do not experience such resolution and for reasons of preventing infections of other individuals. Aesthetic and functional discomfort caused by CVW and the possible risk of malignancy further favors treating these lesions.
A unified viral theory of autoimmunity
Retroviruses and EBV have been championed by different schools of thought as inducers of autoimmunity. The present theory suggests ending this competition between schools: They are both right. The viruses synergize! Probably, they even form a hybrid genome.
A rarely reported surgical problem: spontaneous scrotal enterocutaneous fistula
Spontaneous scrotal enterocutaneous fistulas (ECFs) are rare. They are more common in countries with poor access to medical care. Based on our literature search, our patients represent the first two reported adult cases of scrotal ECFs in the United States.
Clopidogrel pharmacogenetics in patients undergoing percutaneous neurointervention
During vascular neurointervention procedures, the use of double antiaggregation therapy (mainly acetylsalicylic acid and clopidogrel) is required to minimize the risk of thromboembolic complications.
Sézary's syndrome: Review of the clinical, histomorphological and diagnostic aspects of a rare cutaneous lymphoma
