Malignant melanoma is an extremely aggressive and metastatic cancer, highly resistant to conventional treatment modalities. Understanding of fundamental mechanisms responsible for its genesis and progression is critical for development of... more
Cigarette smoking is the single biggest preventable cause of death and disability in developed countries and is a significant public health concern. While known to be strongly associated with a number of cardiovascular and pulmonary... more
Se describe un caso clínico en el que se realizó el tratamiento de un mastocitoma en un canino mediante quimioterapeútica con prednisolona y posterior congelamiento con nitrógeno . Se establece tratamiento con curación del paciente ,... more
Dermatofibrosarcoma protuberans (DFSP) is a very rare cutaneous neoplasm which usually affects the torso. The clinical presentation is nonspecific and can mimic many benign as well as malignant skin lesions. We present a case with... more
The detectability and discriminability of virtual haptic gratings were analyzed in the frequency domain. Detection (Exp. 1) and discrimination (Exp. 2) thresholds for virtual haptic gratings were estimated using a force-feedback device... more
Background: Combination treatments for acne vulgaris, such as Benzamycin® (3% erythromycin/5% benzoyl peroxide) and Stievamycin® (0.025% tretinoin/erythromycin 4%), reduce bacterial growth, which contributes to the inflammatory lesions... more
A case of febrile ulceronecrotic Mucha-Habermann's is presented. This disorder is a severe form of pityriasis lichenoides et varioliformis acuta (PLEVA) characterized by the sudden eruption of diffuse coalescent ulcerations associated... more
Background: As the use of the newer oral antifungal agents for the treatment of superficial fungal infections becomes more widespread, the issue of safety surrounding their use is becoming an increasingly important consideration.... more
Reactive angioendotheliomatosis (RA) is a rare, benign disease. Affected patients present with self-limited, erythematous to violaceous plaques. The clinical lesions are due to intravascular hyperplasia of cytologically banal endothelial... more
Pancreatic cancer account for less than 5% of human malignant neoplasms but represents the fourth leading cause of cancer death. Currently, there is no early diagnostic test or effective treatment for this disease once it is locally... more

Objectives: Leishmaniasis is quite commonly encountered in Balochistan. Of all the known treatment modalities, only a few are available at our hospital. We carried out this study in search of an effective and easily available agent.... more
Cutaneous malignant melanoma is the most fatal skin cancer and although improved comprehension of its pathogenic pathways allowed to realize some effective molecular targeted therapies, novel targets and drugs are still needed. Aiming to... more
Major gaps remain regarding pathogenetic mechanisms underlying clinical heterogeneity in lupus erythematosus (LE). As systemic changes are likely to underlie skin specific manifestation, we analyzed global gene expression in peripheral... more
Solitary myxomas without other manifestations of Carney’s complex usually arise within the skeletal or cardiac muscles, and less commonly in the intestine, pelvis and subcutis, and very rarely in the skin. Solitary cutaneous myxomas... more
Trichofolliculomas are benign hamartomas of the hair follicles. Usually seen around the nose, they present as small skin-coloured papules or nodules. We present a patient who presented with a cutaneous horn on the pinna developing over a... more
