Granuloma Glutaeale Infantum: A Re-emerging Complication of Diaper Dermatitis

Granuloma gluteale infantum is a rare nodular complication of irritant diaper dermatitis. The association of this condition with the widespread use of nondisposable cloth diapers has been increasingly recognized. We present the case of an 18-month-old girl with granuloma gluteale infantum. Our aims are to emphasize the importance of clinical recognition of this re-emerging complication of diaper dermatitis and to point out the potential role of topical calcineurin inhibitors as a treatment option.info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersio

A Comparative Study of Onychomycosis and Traumatic Toenail Onychodystrophy Dermoscopic Patterns

Background: Onychomycosis (OM) and traumatic onychodystrophy (OD) are common causes of toenail changes. A clinical diagnosis is often impossible without mycology. Dermoscopy is helpful in this setting but yet underexplored. Prospective comparative studies between OM and OD onychoscopic findings have not been previously performed. Objectives: We sought to determine distinguishing dermoscopic presentations of OM and traumatic OD. Methods: We performed a prospective, observational study including patients presenting with ≥1 toenail onychodystrophy. All underwent onychoscopy, clinical and mycological examination. Based on these results, patients received a final diagnosis of OM or OD. Dermoscopic presentations of OM and OD patients were classified in patterns and compared. Results: In all, 110 cases of OM and 82 of traumatic OD were compared. Statistical analyses revealed that the distal pulverized and the irregular spiked macular dermoscopic patterns were predictors of an OM diagnosis. The regular macular, the non-classifiable, the total and partial homogeneous background dermoscopic patterns correlated with traumatic OD diagnosis. Conclusions: We demonstrated that OM and traumatic OD have distinctive onychoscopic presentations. Dermoscopy may be an important ancillary tool to guide their differential.info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersio

Caracterização sanitária de rebanho de bovinos da raça Sindi no município de Petrolina, PE.

Os bovinos da raça Sindi, originários do Paquistão, apresentam elevada rusticidade e alta tolerância ao calor. São animais de pequeno porte, pelagem avermelhada e altamente adaptados às condições adversas da região semiárida do Nordeste do Brasil. Diante da importância da brucelose e da tuberculose na saúde humana e animal, o Ministério da Agricultura, Pecuária e Abastecimento (MAPA) instituiu o Programa Nacional de Controle e Erradicação da Brucelose e Tuberculose (PNCEBT), visando diminuir o impacto negativo destas enfermidades nos rebanhos nacionais. Diante disso, o presente estudo teve como objetivo caracterizar sanitariamente os bovinos da raça Sindi do rebanho da Embrapa Semiárido, Petrolina, PE. Foram examinadas 109 amostras de soro sanguíneo dos bovinos pelo teste de soroaglutinação com Antígeno Acidificado Tamponado (AAT) para a detecção de anticorpos contra a Brucella abortus. Das 109 amostras avaliadas, todas apresentaram resultado negativo no teste de soroaglutinação rápida em placa. Realizou-se o teste intradérmico cervical comparado com as tuberculinas (PPD) bovina e aviária nos 109 animais e nenhum apresentou reação positiva para tuberculose. Diante dos resultados obtidos, concluiu-se que neste tipo de rebanho em que ocorre pouco ou nenhum transito de animais (entrada), o risco de ocorrência de brucelose e tuberculose é considerado pequeno.bitstream/item/17921/1/BPD78.pd
