The influence of polymeric dispersants containing different functional groups on TiO2 pigment particle suspension was investigated at pH 6.0 and 9.5, using rheology and particle size data. The dispersants chosen were polyacrylic acid and modified polyacrylamides including homo and copolymers modified with carboxylate and/or hydroxyl groups. The pigment suspension was strongly affected by both p...

Incontinentia pigmenti (IP) is a rare disease with multisystemic anomalies, which commonly presents just after birth. Here, we report a rare case of IP patient with vitreous hemorrhage in school-age children. Therefore, physicians have to be alert and evaluate IP patients at all ages. Regular ophthalmic follow-up is necessary, and fluorescein angiography should be performed if peripheral ischem...

Incontinentia pigmenti (IP) is a rare X-linked dominant disease that affects the ectodermal tissues. It is associated with a whorled pattern of scarring alopecia, which is possibly underreported. This scarring alopecia could be used as a marker to identify adult women affected with IP as older patients may have minimal cutaneous manifestations. We report an unusual case of an 8-year-old girl wh...

Purpose To describe a patient with incontinentia pigmenti (IP) and Raynaud's phenomenon (RP). Observations A 5 year-old girl with history of IP was noted to have RP. Visual acuity was unaffected in both eyes, and fundus examination demonstrated regressed peripheral neovascularization. Photos of the patient's hands demonstrated pale discoloration associated with exposure to cold. Conclusions...

tological findings are different from our results. We had no evidence for other inflammatory skin diseases following Blaschko’s lines such as linear discoid lupus erythematosus or lichen striatus. Linear pigmentary disorders such as pigmentary mosaicism (naevoid hypermelanosis) or the pigmentary stage of incontinentia pigmenti were also excluded. The aetio-pathogeny of LAM remains unknown, but ...

Incontinentia pigmenti (IP) is an X-linked dominant disorder affecting the skin, teeth, eyes, and central nervous system. Ocular changes are common and may lead to severe vision loss. We report on the ocular manifestations in two young girls with IP, with emphasis on the asymmetry of this condition in both eyes and associated retinal problems. The outcomes of laser treatment of the ischemic per...

In 1993 diagnostic criteria for incontinentia pigmenti (IP), a genodermatosis in which skin changes are usually combined with anomalies of other organs, were established. Approximately a decade ago, IKBKG gene mutation was discovered as a cause for IP. This finding has not been included in IP diagnosis so far. In addition, literature data pointed out a few other clinical findings as possible IP...
