Onychopapilloma is a benign tumor of the nail bed and distal matrix and is the most common cause of localized longitudinal erythronychia. Here, we describe a case of onychopapilloma presenting as longitudinal leukonychia of the left 4th fingernail in a 71-year-old female. To date, this is only the ninth described case of onychopapilloma presenting as longitudinal leukonychia. We review the lite...

The He-Ne laser (632.8 nm) and photoacoustic spectroscopy (PAS), a variant of the photothermal methods, were combined with Folin-Ciocalteu colorimetry method to determine total phenolics in wine lees. Utilising this we found that polyphenol content nine selected lees varied from 1305 3907 mg/L. gallic acid equivalent was determined by means spectrophotometry using 765 nm as analytical wavelengt...
