1. Coexistence of morphea and granuloma annulare: a rare case report
ABSTRACT CONTEXT: Localized scleroderma (morphea) is characterized by fibrosis of skin and subcutaneous tissue. Granuloma annulare is a relatively common disease that is characterized by dermal papules and arciform plaques. CASE REPORT: Here, we present the case of a 42-year-old woman who developed granuloma annulare on the dorsum of her feet and abdomin

2. Evaluation of mean platelet volume in localized scleroderma
Abstract: Background: Localized scleroderma is a chronic inflammatory skin disease characterized by sclerosis of the dermis and subcutaneous tissue. Platelets play an important role in inflammation. Following activation, platelets rapidly release numerous mediators and cytokines, which contribute to inflammation. Objectives: To evaluate whether there was a

3. Lichen sclerosus associated with localized scleroderma: dermoscopy contribution
Abstract: Lichen sclerosus is an uncommon inflammatory dermatosis with preferential involvement of the urogenital region. The extragenital involvement is uncommon and is characterized by small rounded macules or papules, pearly white in color. The coexistence of lichen sclerosus and scleroderma plaques in most cases with extragenital location has been report

4. Scleroderma en coup de sabre treated with polymethylmethacrylate - Case report
Abstract The scleroderma en coup de sabre is a variant of localized scleroderma that occurs preferentially in children. The disease progresses with a proliferative and inflammatory phase and later atrophy and residual deformity, which are treated with surgical techniques such as injectable fillers, transplanted or autologous fat grafting and resection of the

5. Localized scleroderma: clinical spectrum and therapeutic update
Scleroderma is a rare connective tissue disease that is manifested by cutaneous sclerosis and variable systemic involvement. Two categories of scleroderma are known: systemic sclerosis, characterized by cutaneous sclerosis and visceral involvement, and localized scleroderma or morphea which classically presents be

6. Localized scleroderma: evaluation of the phototherapy therapeutic response / Esclerodermia cutânea: avaliação da resposta terapêutica à fototerapia
INTRODUÇÃO: A esclerodermia é uma doença auto-imune, de evolução crônica, caracterizada pela esclerose progressiva do tecido conjuntivo e alterações da microcirculação. A etiologia da doença ainda não está esclarecida. Em sua patogênese ocorre dano no endotélio vascular, com ativação inflamatória e imunológica, levando ao aumento da sínt

7. Endothelial cell apoptosis is a primary pathogenetic event underlying skin lesions in avian and human scleroderma.
The mechanism that may cause degenerative fibrotic skin lesions was studied in situ using skin biopsies from patients with systemic sclerosis (SSc), localized scleroderma, or keloids, and at the initial disease stage in the University of California at Davis (UCD) lines 200/206 chickens, which develop a hereditary systemic connective tissue disease resembling

8. Characterization of a high molecular weight acidic nuclear protein recognized by autoantibodies in sera from patients with polymyositis-scleroderma overlap.
Autoantibodies in the serum from a patient with connective tissue disease have been used to define a high molecule weight acidic nuclear protein antigen. The antigen tentatively termed Ku, after the first two letters of patient's name, has distinct physicochemical properties and immunological specificities that distinguish it from previously reported antigen

9. Eosinophilic fasciitis. Case report and review of the literature.
Eosinophilic fasciitis is a recently described rheumatic disease, some 20 cases having been reported in abstract form. Previous descriptions have stressed the localized nature of skin involvement, the absence of visceral changes or Raynaud's phenomenon, an association with hypergammaglobulinaemia and eosinophilia, and a good response to corticosteroid therap

10. RNA B is the major nucleolar trimethylguanosine-capped small nuclear RNA associated with fibrillarin and pre-rRNAs in Trypanosoma brucei.
RNA B is one of three abundant trimethylguanosine-capped U small nuclear RNAs (snRNAs) of Trypanosoma brucei which is not strongly identified with other U snRNAs by sequence homology. We show here that RNA B is a highly diverged U3 snRNA homolog likely involved in pre-rRNA processing. Sequence identity between RNA B and U3 snRNAs is limited; only two of four
