    Abstract Adult T-cell leukemia/lymphoma (ATLL) is a T-cell malignancy that generally presents with widespread involvement of lymph nodes, peripheral blood, and/or skin. It is an uncommon malignancy linked to the human T-lymphotropic virus 1 (HTLV-1). Herein, we present a case of ATLL that was diagnosed after a patient presented to our hospital with nonspecific symptoms of fatigue and weakness and was subsequently found to have hypercalcemia secondary to his blood malignancy. We engage in a discussion of the etiology, epidemiology, and management of patients with this rare malignancy as well as the mechanisms that result in hypercalcemia.

    Abstract A 37-year-old woman with uncontrolled type 1 diabetes mellitus and end-stage renal disease presented to our hospital with 10 days of severe left thigh pain. Physical examination revealed warmth, swelling, and tenderness of the left anterior and medial thigh. Workup revealed a mildly elevated creatinine kinase. Magnetic resonance imaging without contrast revealed diffuse extensive soft tissue edema and a heterogeneous, tubular fluid collection within the adductor magnus. Needle aspiration revealed hematoma and myonecrosis. Cultures and cytology were negative. A diagnosis of diabetic myonecrosis was made. Myonecrosis is a rare complication of diabetes, and the gold standard for diagnosis is tissue biopsy. However, magnetic resonance imaging may be sensitive and specific for diagnosis and prevent morbidity.

    Abstract Halomonas pacifica CARE-V15 was isolated from the southeastern coast of India to determine its genome sequence. Secondary metabolite gene clusters were identified using an anti-SMASH server. The concentrated crude ethyl acetate extract was evaluated by GC-MS. The bioactive compound from the crude ethyl acetate extract was fractionated by gel column chromatography. HPLC was used to purify the 3,6-diisobutyl-2,5-piperazinedione (DIP), and the structure was determined using FTIR and NMR spectroscopy. Purified DIP was used in an in silico molecular docking analysis. Purified DIP exhibits a stronger affinity for antioxidant genes like glutathione peroxidase (GPx), glutathione-S-transferase (GST), and glutathione reductase (GSR). Using in silco molecular docking analysis, the protein-ligand binding affinities of GSR (-4.70 kcal/mol), GST (-5.27 kcal/mol), and GPx (-5.37 kcal/mol) were measured. The expression of antioxidant genes were investigated by qRT-PCR. The in vivo reactive oxygen species production, lipid peroxidation, and cell death levels were significantly (p ≤ 0.05) increased in OA-induced group, but all these levels were significantly (p ≤ 0.05) decreased in the purified DIP pretreated group. Purified DIP from halophilic bacteria could thus be a useful treatment for neurological disorders associated with oxidative stress.

    Abstract Background: Although eyelid melanomas represent less than 1% of eyelid neoplasms, they have the worst prognosis. Wide local excision (WLE) and Mohs micrographic surgery (MMS) are mainstay treatment options. We conducted a retrospective analysis to assess all-cause and cause-specific mortality rates in patients undergoing WLE or MMS for eyelid melanoma.
    Methods: A retrospective analysis of Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER) registry was performed for eyelid melanoma treated with WLE or MMS. Cases were limited to American Joint Committee on Cancer (AJCC) stage T1 primary malignancies.
    Results: A total of 45 cases of WLE were identified along with 48 cases of MMS for eyelid melanoma. There was no significant difference between subgroups in age group, sex, race, ethnicity, marital status at diagnosis, AJCC N stage, AJCC M stage, melanoma histology, chemotherapy use, and radiotherapy use. Among the cohort, all tumors were unilateral. Kaplan-Meier analysis with log-rank demonstrated no significant difference between MMS and WLE subgroups with regard to overall survival (P = 0.662) and cancer-specific survival (P = 0.494). Cox regression adjusting for variables with α<0.10 and found no significant difference in all-cause mortality (HR, 0.923; 95% CI 0.310-2.747; P = 0.885) or cancer-specific mortality (HR, 0.518; 95% CI 0.047-5.711; P = 0.591) when patients who underwent MMS were compared to those who underwent WLE.
    Conclusion: While our study is limited by a small number of patients, our analysis demonstrated no significant difference in all-cause or cause-specific survival for patients with eyelid melanoma treated with MMS compared with WLE. In areas requiring preservation of tissue due to cosmetic or functional purposes, MMS is a reasonable surgical approach.

    Abstract Across the world, there are varied cultural practices applied in the newborn period that pediatric dermatologists need to be familiar with. This report details a 9-day-old girl who presented with black, spike-like hairs across the back after her mother had been rubbing breast milk on her back in a circular motion for the first 7 days of life. On dermatoscopic exam, these lesions were found to be tight bundles of lanugo hairs, consistent with a diagnosis of knotted lanugo. Improved understanding of cultural practices and newborn skin care routines is critical for diagnosis, treatment, and counseling.
