“…[2][3][4][5] Trichophyton rubrum is one of the most common anthropophilic dermatophyte throughout the world and the most frequently isolated dermatophyte in TI. [3][4][5][6] Although localized dermatophyte infections respond well to topical antifungals agents, TI should be treated with oral antifungals. Terbinafin as well as the azoles like itraconazole and fluconazole are preferred over griseofulvin in treating TI.…”

“…[5][6][7][8][9] Both Potent fluorinated and non-fluorinated topical steroids may produce TI. [2][3][4][5] Arise of TI infection in recent years is partly due to an increasing number of patients who self-treat themselves with topical steroids that are obtained over the counter. More recently, a few cases of TI due to use of topical tacrolimus and pimecrolimus have been reported.…”

“…TI on the face may mimic lupus erythematosus, rosacea, and contact dermatitis. [5][6][7][8] The pathogenesis of TI is mostly due to a steroid-modified response of the host immunity to fungal infec-tion and not to a direct pharmacological effect on the fungus.

Tinea incognito (TI) is defined as absence of the classic annular configuration of tinea infection. It is caused by misuse of topical or systemic corticosteroids and less frequently by calcineurin inhibitors. Herein we present a 15-year-old boy presented with 8 months history of persistent mildly itchy skin lesions on his face. Patient used many topical treatments including steroid, but no improvement. Skin examination showed multiple well defined scaly patches and plaques on his face. Potassium hydroxide (KOH) microscopic examination and fungal culture revealed dermatophytes fungi. Itraconazole 200 mg capsules once daily for 2 weeks was prescribed. The skin lesions disappeared completely.

Diabetic foot ulcers (DFUs) have affected millions of people in the U.S. and posed heavy burden to patients and the healthcare system due to their being slow to heal, high recurrence rate, and potential risk of amputation and even premature death. A mainstay of DFU therapy is mechanical offloading to mitigate pressure at the ulcer, which, however, is usually not effective due to patients’ diminished sensation capabilities on the foot and low adherence to offloading recommendations. This work reports a soft, flexible, wireless pressure‐sensor‐integrated smart bandage system for continuously monitoring the pressure on the foot and alerting the users to offload under exceeded pressure. The pressure sensor exhibits high linearity, negligible hysteresis, fast response time, and excellent water‐proof properties relevant for this application. Wireless data transmission onto a smartphone via Bluetooth enables the display and interpretation of the measured pressure with the option of a preset pressure threshold, when exceeded, an alert will be generated for immediate notifications. Trials on healthy subjects demonstrate reliable monitoring performance. The developed smart bandage system represents a significant advance in the prevention and management of DFUs and other pressure injuries as well as compression therapy corrections.

MicroRNAs: Potential prognostic and theranostic biomarkers in chronic lymphocytic leukemia

Small noncoding ribonucleic acids called microRNAs coordinate numerous critical physiological and biological processes such as cell division, proliferation, and death. These regulatory molecules interfere with the function of many genes by binding the 3'‐UTR region of target mRNAs to inhibit their translation or even degrade them. Given that a large proportion of miRNAs behave as either tumor suppressors or oncogenes, any genetic or epigenetic aberration changeing their structure and/or function could initiate tumor formation and development. An example of such cancers is chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL), the most prevalent adult leukemia in Western nations, which is caused by unregulated growth and buildup of defective cells in the peripheral blood and lymphoid organs. Genetic alterations at cellular and molecular levels play an important role in the occurrence and development of CLL. In this vein, it was noted that the development of this disease is noticeably affected by changes in the expression and function of miRNAs. Many studies on miRNAs have shown that these molecules are pivotal in the prognosis of different cancers, including CLL, and their epigenetic alterations (e.g., methylation) can predict disease progression and response to treatment. Furthermore, miRNAs are involved in the development of drug resistance in CLL, and targeting these molecules can be considered a new therapeutic approach for the treatment of this disease. MiRNA screening can offer important information on the etiology and development of CLL. Considering the importance of miRNAs in gene expression regulation, their application in the diagnosis, prognosis, and treatment of CLL is reviewed in this paper.
