Abstract:Background: Morgellons disease is a condition that falls within the same delusional complex of Ekbom Syndrome. Thomas Browne first described this psycho-cutaneous dermatosis in the 17th century, naming it "Morgellons disease". It is characterized by delusional skin infestation with inanimate objects. To date, very little is known about Morgellons disease, and even less is known about its correlation with recreational substance abuse. Case Presentation: This is a rare case presentation of Morgellons disease of … Show more
“…34 These compounds display signicant toxicological consequences as several deaths have been reported upon their intake. 35,36 Accordingly, employing those NBOMes in this study can be benecial for deduction of the analytical methodology of highest sensitivity for their quantication. Moreover, the analytical performance of the constructed AM/3D printed LC-AD ow cell was compared to the results obtained previously in our published report using a commercially available impinging jet ow cell for the electrochemical (amperometric) determination of NBOMe derivatives.…”
Additive manufacturing is an emerging technology of vast applicability, receiving significant interest in a plethora of industrial and research domains as it allows the translation of designs produced via computer software, into 3D printed objects.

“…A study using Trifluoperazine showed 63% of patients (15 patients from a sample size of 24) in partial or full remission of their symptoms after 6.6 months of therapy 7 . Other antipsychotics such as olanzapine, 8 risperidone, 1 and pimozide 9 (and even hypnotherapy 10 ) have similarly proven effective in relieving symptoms of pruritus and anxiety, resulting in subsequent skin healing following cessation of secondary picking and excoriating behavior.…”
Morgellons disease (MD) is a rare dermatopathy characterized by nonspecific symptoms and the production of multicolored fibers and granular tissue from diffuse skin ulcerations which are described as being either pruritic or painful.The etiology of MD is currently unknown; previous studies have suggested both psychiatric and infectious causes, with increasing interest over the previous decade in elaborating a possible pathogenesis for the disease secondary to infection by Borrelia species. We report a middle-aged Caucasian female who developed symptoms of MD in the days following exposure to a tick bite after spending an afternoon hiking through a wooded area. She was subsequently treated with a course of Doxycycline and found on two-week follow-up to have complete remission of her symptoms. This case report further supports the theory for an infectious etiology of MD and encourages future studies into its pathophysiology.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
