We analyzed the clinical findings, laboratory values at admission and treatment protocols and treatment responses of patients who were followed up with a diagnosis of juvenile dermatomyositis (JDM) in a department of pediatric neurology and rheumatology clinics. Methods: Fifteen patients who were referred to the department of pediatric neurology and pediatric rheumatology clinics, diagnosed with JDM between 2010 and 2017 were evaluated retrospectively via their medical records. Results: Of the study sample, 12 (80%) of the patients were female and 3 (20%) were male, and their mean age was 9.26±3.21 years. The mean time between complaint and diagnosis was 7.8±6 months, and the patients were followed up for 24.93±15.28 months after their diagnosis. The mean creatine kinase levels of the patients were 1.354±840 U/L. Fifteen (100%) of the patients had muscle weakness, 14 (93.3%) had Gottron’s papules and 12 (80%) patients had a heliotrope rash. Ten (66.6%) underwent muscle biopsy, 9 (60%) underwent electromyography and 5 (33.3%) patients underwent muscle magnetic resonance imaging. All the patients were treated with corticosteroids and immunosuppressive agents. Conclusion: JDM is a rare inflammatory myopathy observed during childhood. Better responses can be achieved by early diagnosis, intensive immunosuppressive therapy and effective physical therapy.","PeriodicalId":42529,"journal":{"name":"Medical Journal of Bakirkoy","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.2,"publicationDate":"2022-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"42634511","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

{"title":"Skin Biopsy Results of Geriatric Patients Over a 5-year Period and the Frequency of Skin Diseases Before and After COVID-19 Pandemic","authors":"Dilek Bıyık Özkaya, G. Erfan, Y. Okuturlar, Z. Tosuner, Deniz Demircioğlu, Özgür Timurkaynak","doi":"10.4274/bmj.galenos.2022.2022.3-13","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.4274/bmj.galenos.2022.2022.3-13","url":null,"abstract":"Objective: The number of older adults has increased throughout the world. Aging affects all the organs and creates psychological, physiologic and anatomic changes. One of the most important organs of the human body is the skin, which shows the effects of aging the most. This study aims to determine whether age, gender, and season of biopsy play a significant role in skin biopsy results. Additionally, the study investigates whether the frequency of skin diseases differs before and after the coronavirus disease-2019 (COVID-19) pandemic. Methods: We conducted a retrospective study on the histopathology results of patients over 65 years old between June 2016 and September 2021. The histopathology results were obtained from the Acibadem Pathology Department. Results: Of the 677 patients, 310 (45.8%) were male and 367 (54.2%) were female. The most common disease in all patients were benign cutaneous neoplasms (23%), followed by eczematous disease (18.5%) and epithelial cutaneous cancers (16.8%). We divided the results into 12 groups: group 1: Urticaria, erythema and purpuras, group 2: Papulosquamous and eczematous diseases, group 3: Infectious diseases, group 4: Rheumatologic diseases and alopecia, group 5: Benign cutaneous neoplasms, group 6: Precancerous lesions, group 7: Basal cell carcinoma, squamous cell carcinoma, group 8: Cutaneous metastasis and other skin cancers, group 9: Pigmentation disorders, group 10: Pschycology related dermatological disorders, group 11: Granulomatous dermatitis, group 12: Bullous dermatitis. Before the COVID-19 pandemic, the most prevalent results were group 2 (21.3%), followed by group 5 (20.4%) and group 7 (16.7%) whereas, after the COVID-19 pandemic, the most frequent results were group 5 (28.4%) followed by group 7 (17.1%), and group 6 (14.9%). In terms of seasons, the most common diseases were group 5 (24.1%) in winter, group 2 (21.6%) in spring, group 5 (30.0%) in summer, and group 2 (18.9%) in autumn. Before the COVID-19 pandemic, the most common result was group 2 (21.3%), followed by group 5 (20.4%) and group 7 (16.7%), and during the COVID-19 pandemic, the most common result was group 5 (28.4%), followed by group 7 (17.1%), group 6 (14.9%). Conclusion: Many skin diseases affect the geriatric population. Geriatric patients face challenges such as multiple drug use, comorbidities, mobility problems and cognitive disorders. In our study, the most common diseases in all patients were benign cutaneous neoplasms (23%), followed by eczematous diseases (18.5%), and epithelial cutaneous cancers (16.8%). Knowing about the frequency of skin diseases is critical for the early detection of precancerous and cancerous lesions.","PeriodicalId":42529,"journal":{"name":"Medical Journal of Bakirkoy","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.2,"publicationDate":"2022-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45380168","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Although the relationship between coronavirus disease-2019 (COVID-19) infection and smoking has been evaluated in many studies, no study has been conducted to evaluate the relationship between COVID-19 infection and water pipe smoking. Methods: We enrolled 150 in-hospital patients. The severity of disease classified as mild, moderate, severe, and critically ill. The relationship between waterpipe smoker, smoker and non-smoker patients and severity of disease statistically evaluated. Results: Patients with minimal involvement (1-25%) on thorax computed tomography were found to be higher in the smoker and cigarette-hookah smoking group compared to the non-smoking group, and the patients with moderate involvement (51-75%) were found to be less in the smoking-hookah group. in terms of disease degree;It was found that there were more mild and moderate smokers in the smoking and smoking-hookah group than the non-smoking group. The C-reactive protein and sedimentation values of cigarette-waterpipe tabocco smokers were found to be lower than non-smokers. Conclusion: Waterpipe smoking does not aggravate the course of the disease in the young population, but new studies are needed for its effects on the elderly population.","PeriodicalId":42529,"journal":{"name":"Medical Journal of Bakirkoy","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.2,"publicationDate":"2022-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"46458819","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
