With Dr. Fischer's long interest in muscle physiology and with his background in Germany, I thought that my personal experiences in Professor Otto Meyerhof's laboratory in Heidelberg, 1931-1932, might be of interest. This laboratory was at that time one of the outstanding centers for research in muscle physiology and chemistry. The laboratory was called the Kaiser Wilhelm-Institute fiir Medizin...

Introduction: Hypomelanosis of Ito is characterized by hypopigmentation along the lines of Blaschko, evident at birth or during childhood, in combination with variable extra cutaneous findings, mainly affecting the central nervous system, musculoskeletal system and eyes. Most common lyis caused by chromosomal mosaicism associated with a variety of changes in structure or number of autosomes or ...

Eruptions similar to those of lichen planus (LP) are associated with systemic diseases or have been induced by many drugs. Linear lesions as a Koebner effect are frequently found in LP but isolated long, narrow, linear lesions, which may extend the whole length of the limb, are rare though rather more common in childhood. Some cases of zonal or zosteriform LP have been described in the literatu...

Linear epidermal nevi frequently follow the lines of Blaschko and may be confused with the verrucous stage of incontinentia pigmenti. Inflammatory epidermal nevus appears as a line array of pink to red papules usually on the lower limb (Buttock and hip) clinically resembling psoriasis or eczematous dermatitis. But inflammatory epidermal nevus has distinct histopathologic features. We report a c...
