Characteristic patterns of segmental infantile hemangiomas in Indian children: A descriptive study
Conclusion: Segmental infantile hemangiomas present as large, distinctively patterned lesions, even on the trunk and genitalia. These patterns are probably based on embryologic developmental patterns. In addition, indeterminate lesions also showed distinctive repetitive patterns. Our study suggests that additional segments may need to be defined, particularly on the trunk and genital area. (Source: Indian Journal of Dermatology, Venereology and Leprology)

Expression of CD117 and platelet-derived growth factor receptor & #945; in patients with alopecia areata
Conclusions: The expression of CD117 varied in cases and controls. The expression of platelet-derived growth factor receptor α correlated with the severity of the disease. This could explain how platelet-rich plasma works in the treatment of alopecia areata. Further studies are required to explore the role of these molecules in autoimmune pathogenesis.
