BACKGROUND: Diabetes is most common endocrine disorder with increasing prevalence worldwide. Every organs system is affected by it albeit at different pace. This study was carried out with the aim of studying cutaneous manifestation of diabetes mellitus. METHODS- 200 cases of diabetes mellitus with cutaneous manifestations attending out patient department of dermatology were included in the study. RESULTS - The common skin disorders were cutaneous infections (53.5%), acanthosis nigricans (10.5%), generalized pruritus (10.5%),skintags (9.5%). CONCLUSION - most common dermatological manifestations were cutaneous infections.

This chapter on dry skin disorders describes a range of mainly genetic dermatoses whose predominant feature is dry scaly skin. It excludes conditions such as eczema where dry skin is a secondary clinical sign. The underlying mechanism of dry scaly skin is briefly discussed and an algorithm points to possible diagnoses. The focus is on the genetic ichthyoses, defined as congenital, lifelong, generalized dry and scaly skin. The common ichthyoses are non-inflammatory (ichthyosis vulgaris and X-linked recessive ichthyosis) but there are several inflammatory ichthyoses, some associated with fragile skin (blistering) and several with multisystem complications, such as Netherton syndrome. Salient features of each are reviewed with illustrations of selected cases and management is outlined. Two important neonatal presentations, collodion baby and harlequin ichthyosis, are described.

Most patients referred from primary care to the dermatology clinic will be seeking advice and treatment for a few common skin disorders, including psoriasis, eczema, and acne. The genetic basis of these complex conditions is being unravelled. For example, susceptibility variants have been identified in the gene for filaggrin (...

The c-Jun N-terminal kinases (JNKs), with its members JNK1, JNK2, and JNK3, is a subfamily of (MAPK) mitogen-activated protein kinases. JNK signaling regulates a wide range of cellular processes, including cell proliferation, differentiation, survival, apoptosis, and inflammation. Dysregulation of JNK pathway is associated with a wide range of immune disorders and cancer. Our objective is to provide a review of JNK proteins and their upstream regulators and downstream effector molecules in common skin disorders, including psoriasis, dermal fibrosis, scleroderma, basal cell carcinoma (BCC), squamous cell carcinoma (SCC), and melanoma.
