Clinical Presentation A 2-month-old baby boy, of full-term spontaneous vaginal delivery, presented to the dermatology outpatient clinic with generalized erythroderma, which had been noted since birth. Family history was positive for similar disease in his eldest sister, who died at 6 months of age without a diagnosis. On examination, the patient looked ill with generalized erythroderma, yet there were no signs of ectropion, eclabium, or deformed ears. Diffuse scalp scaling was observed with interlocking tessellation scales over the scalp (Figure 1). Hair microscopy showed in Figure 2. All laboratory results were normal.

Pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors are rare with an incident rate of 5 cases per million individuals. Tuberous sclerosis complex is an autosomal dominant disease. This disease involves multisystem and occurs in one out of every 6,000-10,000 individuals. In this study, we describe a 47-year-old male known tuberous sclerosis patient with an insulinoma. The tumor was incidentally detected in follow-up imaging for a previous ampulla of Vater tubular adenoma. However, the patient reported symptoms of hypoglycemia. The insulinoma was enucleated successfully. Histopathology revealed a well-differentiated, grade one neuroendocrine tumor measuring around 2 cm in diameter.

Microbiome: Role And Functionality In Human Nutrition Cycle, Fahad Alhusain
Saudi Medical Journal
ABSTRACT Microbes are present almost everywhere on this Earth. Humans harbor microbes in various organs, including skin, gut, mouth, and nose. Among these, the gut region has the highest population of microbes. Gut microbiota is directly linked with homeostasis, and a minor change in their numbers predisposes humans to ailments. Notably, the role of the microbial population in the digestive tract directly contributes to body weight. Sometimes, lifestyle changes or antibiotics intake to manage certain infections are associated with disturbance in the gut microflora. Several scientific studies allude to the obesity linkage with disturbed intestinal microflora. This review mainly focuses …
