Dermatopathia pigmentosa reticularis: a report of a family demonstrating autosomal dominant inheritance.

Dermatopathia pigmentosa reticularis is a rare heritable disorder consisting of a triad of cutaneous findings including reticulate hyperpigmentation, noncicatricial alopecia, and onychodystrophy. In addition to this triad, other variable features of dermatopathia pigmentosa reticularis have been described, including adermatoglyphia, hypohidrosis or hyperhidrosis, and palmoplantar hyperkeratosis. Only 10 cases have been described in the world literature to date, and no clear inheritance pattern has been demonstrated. We present a patient with the classic features of the dermatopathia pigmentosa reticularis triad, along with adermatoglyphia, hypohidrosis, and punctate hyperkeratosis of the palms and soles. A family pedigree demonstrates the autosomal dominant inheritance of dermatopathia pigmentosa reticularis.

Evaluation of argon laser surgery in children under 13 years of age.

Argon laser surgery is an effective treatment for ectasias and congenital port-wine stains; however, its use in children under the age of 13 is controversial. This paper reviews 202 children under the age of 13 who underwent argon laser treatments for congenital port-wine stains, spider angiomas, epidermal nevi, and lentigines. The clinical characteristics of port-wine stains in 170 children are discussed. Good to excellent results (moderate to complete clearing) in port-wine stains were obtained in 60 percent of patients and seemed to correlate best with lack of blanchability on pressure. Hypertrophic scarring was seen in only 7 children, all of whom had undressed wounds; no significant scarring has been seen in any subsequent child who had maintained a dressed wound postoperatively.

[Inability to work in gastrointestinal diseases].

11.7% of all cases with inability to work, 11.3% of all days with inability to work, and 13.6% of all dismissals from hospital of working people concern diseases of the digestive system. Gastroenterological diseases occupy an anterior place in inability to work. The inability to work is essentially determined by 7 diagnoses--gastritis and duodenitis, cholelithiasis, gastroenteritis and colitis, cholecystitis and cholangitis, ulcus ventriculi and duodeni, acute appendicitis. They comprise 78% of the days of inability to work. The endoscopic diagnostics is further to be developed with the further improvement of the organisation of treatment, particularly the cooperation between outpatient department and hospital and the interdisciplinary work.

[The risk of diabetes after existing cholecystectomy].

No further increase of the risk of diabetes after cholecystectomy is shown in men. In the female sex the number of cases of diabetes may not be decreased by cholecystectomy, in particular, if an obesity occurs after the operation. From this is derived the demand for a normal nutrition after operations of the bile ducts.
