A 24-year-old woman presented with a 5-year history of painless, nonpruritic swelling of her lips (Figure 1). The swelling was initially intermittent but became progressive and persistent. It began on her upper lip and gradually extended to the lower lip and right inner cheek. She was otherwise well and reported no gastrointestinal or respiratory symptoms. Physical examination showed a rubbery,...

In-plane angular magnetoresistivity Deltarho(anis)(ab) measurements were made on Y(1-x)Pr(x)Ba(2)Cu(3)O(7-delta) single crystals in the pseudogap region. For x>/=0.2 single crystals, Deltarho(anis)(ab)(theta) displays a deviation from the typical quasiparticle contribution (proportional, sin((2)theta) for temperatures smaller than a certain value T(phi) in the pseudogap region. This deviation i...

Diagnosis of the disease by dentists and other clinicians through the evaluation of oral clinical findings is a rare incident. Mucocutaneous and granulomatous lesions of the oral cavity alert the clinician to investigate the gastrointestinal tract. This review highlights oral manifestations of gastrointestinal disorders, how various diseases and their presentations are integrated and intertwine...

A 14-year-old girl with a history of atopic dermatitis presented with acute cheilitis of 2 months’ duration. She had redness of her lips with dryness, extending around to the peri-oral skin. She had been using a lipcare stick (Dermophil®; Melisana, Magny le Désert, France) several times a day for 2 months, because of chapped lips.

We report the occurrence of skin toxicities in pediatric oncology patients on concomitant treatment with voriconazole and methotrexate (MTX). Of 23 patients who received this combination, 11 patients suffered from cheilitis and/or photosensitivity. In contrast, only in 1 of 9 patients who received voriconazole without MTX was photosensitivity observed. A mechanism of action was not able to be i...
