RESUMO

Because oral terbinafine is now formulated only as a tablet, there is a barrier to treatment of superficial fungal infections in patients who are unable to swallow a pill such as young children and patients with pill dysphagia. We describe a preparation method that allows this population to safely and effectively use oral terbinafine.

RESUMO

An acral fibrochondromyxoid tumor is a newly described type of benign soft tissue neoplasm that presents as a single nodular lesion on a finger or toe. There has only been one previous report on this tumor, a case series that described the initial pathologic and clinical findings; however, details on clinical history, physical examination, and outcome are unknown. In this report, we describe a case of a 39-year-old male who presented with a painful enlarging mass involving the distal right 3rd finger and hyponychium. Punch biopsy was performed and the lesion was identified as an acral fibrochondromyxoid tumor on microscopic examination. X-ray showed no bony involvement. The tumor was successfully excised with complete resolution of pain symptoms. We discuss the clinical features and immunohistochemistry findings of our case in the context of the current limited knowledge about this very rare tumor.

RESUMO

Introduction: Oral antifungals are typically preferred over topicals for moderate to severe onychomycosis due to efficacy and shorter treatment courses. However, systemics are contraindicated or cautioned in patients with liver dysfunction and with some autoimmune diseases, and in those taking interacting medications. Efinaconazole 10% solution is a topical antifungal therapy, but application for fingernail onychomycosis has not been adequately studied. Case Presentation: We present a case of a 78-year-old female with scleroderma and moderate onychomycosis of the right 4th fingernail successfully treated with topical efinaconazole 10% solution. Conclusion: We review the literature on contraindications to oral antifungals for onychomycosis, precautions with terbinafine in patients with some autoimmune diseases, and topical onychomycosis therapies. Topical efinaconazole may represent an effective alternative for patients with fingernail onychomycosis who have contraindications to oral medications.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: Chronic kidney disease (CKD) adversely affects bone microarchitecture and increases fracture risk. Historically, bone biopsy has been the 'gold standard' for evaluating renal bone disease but is invasive and infrequently performed. High-resolution magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) quantifies bone microarchitecture noninvasively. In patients with CKD, it has not been compared with results derived from bone biopsy or with imaging using dual energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA). METHODS: Fourteen patients with end-stage kidney disease (ESKD) underwent MRI at the distal tibia, bone mineral density (BMD) by dual energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA; hip and spine) and transiliac bone biopsies with histomorphometry and microcomputed tomography (micro-CT). All patients had biomarkers of mineral metabolism. Associations were determined by Spearman's or Pearson's rank correlation coefficients. RESULTS: MRI indices of trabecular network integrity, surface to curve ratio (S/C) and erosion index (EI), correlated to histomorphometric trabecular bone volume (S/C r = 0.85, p = 0.0003; EI r = -0.82, p = 0.001), separation (S/C r = -0.58, p = 0.039; EI r = 0.79, p = 0.0012) and thickness (S/C, r = 0.65, p = 0.017). MRI EI and trabecular thickness (TbTh) also correlated to micro-CT trabecular separation (EI r = 0.63, p = 0.02; TbTh r = -0.60, p = 0.02). Significant correlations were observed between histomorphometric mineralization and turnover indices and various MRI parameters. MRI-derived trabecular parameters were also significantly related to femoral neck BMD. CONCLUSIONS: This study highlights the heterogeneity of bone microarchitecture at differing skeletal sites. MRI demonstrates significant, relevant associations to important bone biopsy and DXA indices and warrants further investigation to assess its potential to non-invasively evaluate changes in bone structure and quality over time.
