    Abstract Morsicatio is caused by chronic self-inflicted biting of the buccal mucosa that results in clinically whitish plaques. It is frequently confused with other dermatological mucosal disorders. To avoid needless invasive procedures, dermoscopy can help with differential diagnosis. Dermoscopy shows whitish and yellowish structureless areas and lines, small erosions, and some white scales. The lack of additional, more specific signs such as Wickham striae is crucial to guide the diagnosis.

    Abstract Introduction: Onychomycosis represents a global burden accounting for about 50% of nail consultations. Several studies have tried to assess the dermoscopic features of onychomycosis. With the multiplication of papers, several "new" dermoscopic signs keep being added leading to some inconsistency in onychoscopic terminology.
    Objective: This study aimed to summarize the existing literature on the dermoscopic features of onychomycosis and propose a unified onychoscopic terminology.
    Methods: The literature search was performed using PubMed and Scopus databases up to October 30, 2021 to identify eligible contributions. In total, 33 records (2111 patients) were included.
    Results: The main dermoscopic signs of onychomycosis are "ruin appearance", "longitudinal striae" and "spikes" on the proximal margin of onycholytic areas, with a specificity of 99.38%, 83.78%, and 85.64% respectively. The "aurora borealis" sign had the highest sensitivity and specificity.
    Conclusions: The current review provides a framework for issues related to the onychoscopic terminology of onychomycosis and is intended to serve as an aid for students, teachers, and researchers. We proposed a unifying terminology to describe dermoscopic signs of onychomycosis. Dermoscopic signs of onychomycosis show good specificity and are useful in distinguishing nail psoriasis, trauma, and onychomycosis. It helps differentiate fungal melanonychia from nail melanoma, nevi, and melanocytic activation.

    Abstract This study analyses and compares the behavior of the gold-backed, conventional cryptocurrency, and gold markets capable of detecting the existence of herding and deducing the efficiency degree. In addition, this empirical work tried to examine the COVID-19 pandemic's influence on both cryptocurrency performances. This work developed a new method that discloses herding biases using persistence and efficiency metrics. Besides, this paper investigated the nonlinear dynamic properties of the gold-backed, conventional cryptocurrencies and Gold by estimating the Multifractal Detrended Fluctuation Analysis (MFDFA). It also assessed the inefficiency of these markets through an efficiency index (IEI) and tested the effect of COVID-19 on their dynamics. The findings of this investigation indicate that the gold-backed cryptocurrency (X8X) is the most efficient market in the long-term trading market. However, the conventional cryptocurrency market (Bitcoin) is the most efficient on the short trade horizon. Besides, gold-backed cryptocurrency markets present a smaller level of herding behavior than conventional cryptocurrencies on tall scales. Nevertheless, we noted the positive and negative effects of the pandemic on each cryptocurrency market dynamics. To the best of the authors' knowledge, this study is the first investigation that uses multifractal analysis to quantify the impact of the COVID-19 spread on gold-backed cryptocurrencies and detects the presence of herding behavior.

    Abstract Cryptocurrency markets are complex systems based on speculation. Where investors interact using strategies that generate some biases responsible for endogenous instabilities. This paper investigated the herding biases by quantifying the self-similarity intensity of cryptocurrency returns' during the COVID-19 pandemic. The main purpose of this work was to study the level of cryptocurrency efficiency through multifractal analysis before and after the coronavirus pandemic. The empirical results proved that COVID-19 has a positive impact on the cryptocurrency market efficiency.
