Police officers responsible for the seizure and removal of illegally grown cannabis plants from indoor and outdoor growing operations face the prospect of THC exposure while performing their work duties. As a result, a study investigating the amount of THC on hands and uniforms of officers during

The occurrence of subepidermal bullae and sweat gland necrosis in barbiturate-induced coma is well recognized. We report the case of a patient who received intravenous phenobarbital for refractory seizures and subsequently sustained subepidermal bullae without sweat gland necrosis in the skin around

Toxic epidermal necrolysis (TEN) is a rare life-threatening disease mostly related to drug ingestion. Apoptotic keratinocytes lead to separation of the epidermis from dermis and widespread blistering of the skin. This case is a pediatric patient with a seizure disorder who developed TEN after

A female infant showing linear skin lesions arranged in an irregular way with bullae, vesicles, and erythema, which had predominantly affected her extremities since her birth, was examined by us at the age of one week. Histologic and immunofluorescence findings confirmed the preliminary diagnosis of

BACKGROUND Herpes zoster (HZ), a reactivation of varicella zoster virus manifested by skin blisters and neuralgia, can lead to postherpetic neuralgia in 10-20% of affected subjects. METHODS In this study, a cohort of 764 patients with HZ was treated with 1500 mg/day of famciclovir for 7 days, and

Hereditary porphyrias comprise a group of eight metabolic disorders of the haem biosynthesis pathway, characterised by acute neurovisceral symptoms and/or skin lesions. Each porphyria is caused by abnormal functioning of a particular enzymatic step, resulting in specific accumulation of heme

Lyell's syndrome or toxic epidermal necrolysis (TEN) is a rare dermatological disease that causes serious morbidity and mortality. It is most commonly drug induced. The authors report the case of a 57-year-old woman who was admitted to our hospital with severe rash all over the body. She had been

This study was carried out to determine the rate and types of injuries experienced by boardsailors. Results derive from: (a) a review of hospital medical records for water sports injuries, and (b) a questionnaire-interview of 73 athletes windsurfing on waters in the Galveston area during a hurricane

Chronic ulcerating lesions on the face are rarely seen in toddlers.

The hereditary porphyrias comprise a group of eight metabolic disorders of the haem biosynthesis pathway characterised by acute neurovisceral symptoms, skin lesions or both. Each porphyria is caused by abnormal function of a separate enzymatic step resulting in a specific accumulation of haem

BACKGROUND Immediate postnatal hypothermia is an independent risk factor for death in premature newborns. Three randomized controlled trials (RCTs) and five historical controlled trials show statistically significant differences in admission temperature between infants wrapped in occlusive skin wrap

BACKGROUND Envenomation from snake bites is a public health hazard in tropical countries. The observed mortality among in-hospital patients bitten by carpet viper (Echis ocellatus) in northern Nigeria has drastically reduced, related to the use of a mono-specific ovine Fab anti-snake venom. However,

Congenital erythropoietic porphyria is a rare autosomal recessive disorder that usually presents with marked skin photosensitivity, hypertrichosis, blistering, scarring, milia formation and dyspigmentation of the photo-exposed areas. Three adult siblings (two sisters and one brother) are presented
