RESUMO
Familial glomangiomatosis is a rare autosomal dominant vascular malformation caused by a mutation in the glomulin GLMN gene. It is characterized by the appearance of multiple glomus tumors composed of dysmature veins surrounded by glomus cells. We present a case of an 11-year-old girl with familial glomangiomatosis successfully treated with Nd:YAG long-pulse laser. Three sessions of laser treatment were performed, resulting in more than 80% reduction of the lesion and complete disappearance of pain, with no adverse effects reported. This case report demonstrates the excellent risk-benefit ratio of Nd:YAG long-pulse laser in the treatment of familial glomangiomatosis.

Erythromelanosis follicularis faciei et colli (EFFC) is a distinct, rare, and underdiagnosed condition of unknown etiology that is characterized by well-demarcated erythema, hyperpigmentation, and follicular papules. The pigmentation is usually on both maxillary, preauricular regions, and the cheeks. We report a case of a 12-year-old boy with EFFC that was associated with reticulated pigmentation of the extremities.
RESUMO
[Purpose] The aim of the present study was to investigate the association between sleep duration, quality and obesity in the medical students of Saudi population. [Subjects and Methods] This is a cross-sectional study carried out in 408 medical students from King Khalid University Hospitals, Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, based on well-designed questionnaire study and consent form. [Results] The results of this study revealed 39.9% of subjects perform the exercise on regular basis and 61.5% of them reduced their weight, which may be due to diet plan (52.9%) also. Only 68.6% of the subjects were affected with the weight. The maximum number of subjects was lying down after the lunch (88.2%), sitting and reading (80.1%) are prone to develop obesity in future. [Conclusion] Our study confirms sleep disturbance has affected the weight gain and the maximum number of subjects was lying down after the lunch and sitting and reading will be prone to develop obesity in future.
