Actinic Prurigo: A case report

Actinic prurigo is a rare disease occurring mainly in individuals of American Indian origin and those living in high altitudes. Skin lesions consist of pruritic popular or nodular excoriated lesions mainly affecting exposed skin but covered skin is also involved in up to 50% of patients. This is the first case report of an Iranian patient. This 19-year-old female had pruritic popular and ...

Actinic granuloma

Actinic granuloma is a rare, idiopathic disorder of middleaged adults that always appears in sun-exposed skin [1,2]. It is a form of granulomatous dermatosis characterized by annular plaques with central atrophy and raised erythematous margins that are similar to those observed in granuloma annulare (GA) [3]. A 42-year-old man presented with a three-month history of an asymptomatic erythematous...

Electrolysis-based diaphragm actuators.

This work presents a new electrolysis-based microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) diaphragm actuator. Electrolysis is a technique for converting electrical energy to pneumatic energy. Theoretically electrolysis can achieve a strain of 136 000% and is capable of generating a pressure above 200 MPa. Electrolysis actuators require modest electrical power and produce minimal heat. Due to the large ...

Erlotinib-responsive actinic keratoses.

Erlotinib is an inhibitor of the tyrosine-kinase domain of the epidermal growth factor receptor-1 (EGFR). This drug is used to treat some solid cancers, particularly advanced non-small-cell lung carcinoma. Similar to other EGFR inhibitors, erlotinib is responsible for a series of skin adverse reactions, particularly acneiform lesions. We described the incidental effect of erlotinib on actinic k...
