AIM: Loss-of-function mutations in FAM20A result in amelogenesis imperfecta IG (AI1G) or enamel-renal syndrome, characterized by hypoplastic enamel, ectopic calcification, and gingival hyperplasia, with some cases reporting spontaneous tooth infection. Despite previous reports on the consequence of FAM20A reduction in gingival fibroblasts and transcriptome analyses of AI1G pulp tissues, suggesting its involvement in mineralization and infection, its role in deciduous dental pulp cells (DDP) remains unreported...

Cytarabine is an antimetabolite used in the treatment of acute myeloid leukemia which acts by inhibiting DNA synthesis and subsequently cell division. It works on rapidly dividing cells, for that reason, it affects cancer cells, bone marrow and skin cells. Cytarabine has variable cutaneous side effects, the most common one is palmar-plantar erythema which usually presents with a tingling sensation around 5-7 days after cytarabine initiation, followed by erythema and tenderness. Auricular erythema is a rare subtype involving bilateral ears which often presents as ear redness and tenderness as described in the presented case...

Red ear syndrome (RES) is a rare condition of unknown etiology characterized by episodic attacks of unilateral ear pain, redness, and burning sensation. A 31-year-old male patient was admitted to our clinic with a severe headache reaching up to 5 h, presenting with short bursts of electric shock-like sensation, burning, and tingling in the left side of his face. The patient was unresponsive to previous medical treatments. Lidocaine 10% through the intranasal route for sphenopalatine ganglion and stellate ganglion blockade under the guidance of fluoroscopy also failed...

Susac syndrome is a likely autoimmune microangiopathy affecting the brain, retina and inner ear. Due to the rarity of this condition, diagnosis and treatment can be challenging. Diagnosis is based on the presence of the clinical triad of central nervous system dysfunction, branch retinal artery occlusions and sensorineural hearing loss. Typical MRI findings of callosal and peri-callosal lesions may assist in diagnosis. Clinical course can be monophasic, polycyclic or chronic continuous. It is important to look out for red flags to attain an accurate diagnosis and follow a therapeutic algorithm based on severity of the disease and response to treatment...

White-nose syndrome is a fungal disease that is threatening bat populations across North America. The disease primarily affects cave-hibernating bats by depleting fat reserves during hibernation and causing a range of other physiological consequences when immune responses are suppressed. Since it was first detected in 2006, the disease has killed millions of bats and is responsible for extensive local extinctions. To better understand the effects of white-nose syndrome on various bat species, we analyzed summer acoustic survey data collected from 2016 to 2020 at nine US National Parks within the Great Lakes region...

This study aimed to investigate the relationship between coagulating cold and blood stasis syndrome and glycolysis, and observe the intervention effect of Liangfang Wenjing Decoction(LFWJD) on the expression of key glycolytic enzymes in the uterus and ovaries of rats with coagulating cold and blood stasis. The rat model of coagulating cold and blood stasis syndrome was established by ice-water bath. After modeling, the quantitative scoring of symptoms were performed, and according to the scoring results, the rats were randomly divided into a model group and LFWJD low-, medium-and high-dose groups(4...

Erythromelalgia is a rare pain disorder that is underrecognized and difficult-to-treat. It is characterized by episodes of extremity erythema and pain that can be disabling; it may be genetic, related to an underlying systemic disease, or idiopathic. Considering the prominent cutaneous features characteristic of the condition, dermatologists can play an important role in early recognition and limitation of morbidity. The first article in this 2-part continuing medical education series reviews the epidemiology, pathogenesis, clinical manifestations, evaluation, and complications...

The management of erythromelalgia is challenging and requires multidisciplinary effort. Patient education is crucial as unsafe self-administered cooling techniques can lead to significant morbidity, including acral necrosis, infection, and amputation. The goal of management is pain control, reduction of flare frequency, and prevention of complications. This text is focused on the management of erythromelalgia and several other incompletely understood and underrecognized neurovascular disorders such as red scrotum syndrome, red ear syndrome, facial flushing, and complex regional pain syndrome...

BACKGROUND: Cogan's syndrome (CS) is a rare autoimmune disorder characterized by non-syphilitic interstitial keratitis (IK) and Menière-like cochlear vestibular symptoms, which may also have systemic effects. Corticosteroids are first-line treatment. DMARDs and biologics have been used to treat ocular and systemic symptoms of CS. CASE PRESENTATION: This is a case of a 35-year-old female who reported hearing loss, eye redness and photophobia. Her condition progressed to a sudden sensorineural hearing loss, tinnitus, and constant vertigo accompanied by cephalea...

The orofacial pain syndromes (OFPs) are a heterogeneous group of syndromes characterized by painful attacks involving the orofacial structures. They may be summarily subdivided into two great categories: (1) orofacial pain mainly attributed to dental disorders such as dentoalveolar and myofascial orofacial pain or temporomandibular joint (TM) pain; (2) orofacial pain mainly attributed to non-dental pain as neuralgias, facial localization of primary headaches or idiopathic orofacial pain. The second group is uncommon, often described by single case reports, can often show overlapping symptoms with the first group, and represents a clinical challenge, carrying the risk of undervaluation and possibly invasive odontoiatric treatment...

Dysphonia is a common presenting symptom to the outpatient ear, nose and throat team and the need to have a systematic approach to its investigation and management is imperative. Red flag features combined with clinical examination including flexible nasoendoscopy will help to identify laryngeal causes of dysphonia. Vocal cord palsy can have both laryngeal and extralaryngeal aetiologies including Ortner's syndrome. We present a case where a woman in her 70s was referred with persistent hoarseness, found to have an isolated vocal cord palsy with CT scan revealing a very large hiatus hernia producing mass effect at the aortopulmonary window with no other pathology identified...

Hyaline fibromatosis syndrome (HFS) is a rare, autosomally-recesfvsive disease characterized by papulonodular skin lesions, soft tissue masses, joint contractures, gingival overgrowth, and osteolytic bone lesions. Mutations in capillary morphogenesis gene 2 are responsible for both these conditions. Generally, an autosomal recessive pattern is assumed to be the most common mode of inheritance. Here, we report an unusual case of a twenty-three-year-old female patient with HFS who reported with a chief complaint of growing nasal mass for three months...

PREMISE: Effective seed dispersal is essential to the success of plant species. Swida amomum (silky dogwood) has a seed-dispersal syndrome characteristic of autumn-ripening shrubs with fleshy fruits; attached fruits are ingested and defecated by birds, while fallen fruits are consumed by ground-foraging birds and mammals. METHODS: We documented that fallen fruits of this shrub were consumed by two aquatic turtle species (eastern painted turtle [Chrysemys picta] and red-eared slider [Trachemys scripta]) and that their seeds were defecated...
