Dermoscopic Evaluation of Inflammatory Nail Disorders and Their Mimics
Acta Derm Venereol. 2021 Sep 7. doi: 10.2340/00015555-3917. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTNail dermoscopy (onychoscopy) is a valuable diagnostic tool for evaluating diseases in the nail apparatus. It is non-invasive, allowing clinicians to prioritize particular nails for biopsy. Thus, it can improve diagnostic accuracy and expedite treatment. Evaluating inflammatory nail disorders using onychoscopy is a relatively new approach to clinical assessment and has the potential to augment clinical care.

Challenge of Nail Psoriasis: An Update Review
AbstractNail psoriasis is a refractory disease that affects 50 –79% skin psoriasis patients and up to 80% of patients with psoriatic arthritis (PsA). The pathogenesis of nail psoriasis is still not fully illuminated, although some peculiar inflammatory cytokines and chemokines seems to be the same as described in psoriatic skin lesions. Psoriatic nail involvi ng matrix can cause pitting, leukonychia, red spots in lunula, and nail plate crumbling, while nail bed involvement can result in onycholysis, oil-drop discoloration, nail bed hyperkeratosis, and splinter hemorrhages. The common assessment methods of evaluating nail...

A Subungual Exostosis Mimicking a Periungual Granuloma in a 9-Year-Old Boy: An Unexpected Dermoscopic Pattern
Subungual exostosis (SE) is an uncommon osteocartilaginous tumor. Classic dermoscopic features of SE include vascular ectasia, hyperkeratosis, onycholysis, and ulceration. In this case, a 9-year-old boy presented SE showing a dermoscopic mesh dilated blood vessel pattern surrounded by a scar-like peripheral ring, which represents a novel finding in the medical literature.Skin Appendage Disord (Source: Skin Appendage Disorders)

First Subungual Cryptococcosis Described in an HIV Patient with Disseminated Cryptococcosis
Discussion: It is the first reported case of nail involvement in the course of cutaneous cryptococcosis. Definitive diagnosis required pathology and culture. Cryptococcal infection of the nail unit was recalcitrant to systemic therapy while the remaining infection cleared. Our case report suggests that surgical excision associated with systemic therapy is the best treatment approach for subungual cryptococcosis. Recognition of rare manifestations of cutaneous cryptococcosis, such as ours, is essential because HIV cases increase continuously.Skin Appendage Disord (Source: Skin Appendage Disorders)

Reaching Treatment Goals in Psoriasis with Conventional Systemic Drugs: How Long Are We Willing to Wait?
Conclusion: Patients with onycholysis/nail dystrophy at two or more digits were identified as having a higher risk of not achieving ECP-TGs under conventional systemic therapy. The ECP-TGs from 2011 were attained by 43.6% of our patients 6 months after starting conventional systemic therapies. In the era of safe, fast, and efficacious Pso therapies, much higher treatment goals might be achieved during therapy. New treatment goals are only of use if patients and dermatologists strive to attain them.Dermatology (Source: Dermatology)

PIN61 Switch Patterns Among Patients Claiming Antifungal Therapies for Onychomycosis in Canada
Onychomycosis is a common nail fungal infection. Patients with onychomycosis may experience discomfort and pain caused by a variety of nail abnormalities, such as discoloration, subungual hyperkeratosis, onycholysis, splitting and nail plate destruction. Currently there are four onychomycosis treatments available in Canada (ciclopirox, efinaconazole, itraconazole and terbinafine). This research aims to explore switch patterns among treatments of onychomycosis patients in Canada. (Source: Value in Health)

Nail Lichen Planus
A 56-year-old woman presented with a 1-year history of altered nail growth and fragility, causing pain and cosmetic concern. Examination revealed onychodystrophy of multiple fingernails and toenails, with onycholysis, distal nail plate splitting, pterygium, longitudinal ridging, and subungual hyperkeratosis (Figure). She had a concomitant pruritic eruption on her chest and extremities and gingival ulceration. The scalp and vulva were uninvolved. (Source: Mayo Clinic Proceedings)

DNA Sequencing to Evaluate Nail Pathogens: An Investigation into Bacteria and Fungi
CONCLUSIONS: Toenails tested with DNA sequencing demonstrated the presence of both bacteria and fungi in many samples.
