Characterization of tolerance to citrus leafminer of Citrus and related genera
Santos,Mônica; Pitta,Rafael Major; Ribeiro,Leandro do Prado; Dias-Pini,Nivia Silva; Vendramim,José DjairABSTRACT The aim of this study was to identify resistance of tolerance type in Citrus and Poncirus genotypes towards the citrus leafminer (CLM), Phyllocnistis citrella. The quantitative variables leaf and shoot lengths, leaf width, number of larvae and new shoots, and fresh and dry shoots weights, and qualitative variables associated with foliar damage were evaluated in six Citrus-related genotypes infested wit...
Pemphigus vegetans with isolated involvement of the nose and chest: rare varian...
Feitoza,Raisa Ilena Caranhas; Santos,Mônica; Schettini,Maria da Conceição Almeida; Ferreira,Silvana de Albuquerque DamascenoAbstract: Pemphigus vulgaris is chronic bullous disease that manifests as bullae and erosions of skin and mucosas, with intraepidermal suprabasal cleft formation seen in the histological examination. It has a rare variant called pemphigus vegetans, where vesicles and bullae are replaced by pustular, verrucous and hyperpigmented lesions, mainly in skin folds.

Chronic tophaceous gout in patients with psoriasis
Lobato,Laís Cruz; Coutinho,Jéssica Castiel; Frota,Maria Zeli Moreira; Schettini,Antonio Pedro Mendes; Santos,MônicaAbstract: Psoriasis is a chronic inflammatory disease of multifactorial etiology influenced by genetic, immunological, and environmental factors. We report the case of a patient with psoriasis for more than 25 years who developed hyperuricemia and chronic tophaceous gout with unusual appearance. In psoriasis, hyperuricemia may occur by increased epidermal cell turnover, which accelerates purine metabolism and h...

Lima,Raquel Sucupira Andrade; Maquiné,Gustavo Ávila; Schettini,Antônio Pedro Mendes; Santos,MônicaAbstract Lichen sclerosus is a chronic inflammatory disease, usually located in the genital area. The etiology of lichen sclerosus is multifactorial, with participation of genetic, autoimmune, infectious and hormonal factors. Bullous clinical form stems from hydropic degeneration of the basal membrane, constituting a less frequent variant of the disease. In this work, we report the case of a female patient, 55 ...
