This publication is the result of a study of the dynamics of self-assessment of quality of life indicators by young medical workers (students) against the background of the negative impact of the infodemic due to the chronic stress situation during the covid 19 pandemic, quarantine restrictions and professional communication with various patients, and the full-scale war of complete destruction that began on 24.02.22 all citizens of Ukraine. General clinical methods were used as research methods - to assess the condition of the mucous membranes, skin and somatic organs, as well as psychodiagnostic questionnaire SF36 for anonymous self-determination of the quality of one's life. The analysis of the obtained results of two hundred young medical students during 2021-2022 revealed a number of correlational dependencies from the amount of time during which they are forced to study and work against the background of the mostly negative impact of the infodemic, initially caused only by the situation of the viral pandemic and the need daily contact with various patients, and after 02.24.22 and in conditions real large-scale war and martial law. That is, already in conditions of real danger of being injured or killed during another missile attack in the rear and being infected with another viral strain of coronavirus infection due to forced daily professional contact with various somatic patients. The awareness of the presence of these two factors directly reduces their self-esteem of the quality of their own life and is, in certain situations, a sufficient factor that contributes to the formation of psychosomatic disorders as a manifestation of the initial clinical signs of somatic-emotional professional pathology, which, in particular, manifests itself in the appearance of various rashes on the skin

Background: Zinc is an essential trace element required for proper bodily function. Its deficiency can lead to various manifestations, including dermatological issues. There are two forms of zinc deficiency: hereditary and acquired. Case Report: We present two cases. The first case involved a child with a family history of two brothers who passed away at the age of 1 year, exhibiting a similar symptomatology. The second case involved a patient with hereditary epidermolysis bullosa and malnutrition. Both cases presented with erosive erythematous lesions around the mouth and extremities, which were unresponsive to symptomatic treatments. Additionally, they experienced diarrhea. A definitive diagnosis was made by measuring the levels of zinc in their blood, which were found to be low. Treatment with oral zinc sulfate was prescribed. The first patient showed rapid improvement with the treatment, but experienced recurrence when it was discontinued and subsequently improved again upon reinstatement. Unfortunately, the second infant passed away due to complications from an infection. Conclusion: The presence of periorificial and extremity lesions in infants should raise suspicion of zinc deficiency. Measuring zinc levels in the blood can help confirm the diagnosis and guide appropriate treatment

A 68-year-old woman with chronic plaque psoriasis for 37 years was seen in June 2021. The patient was under secukinumab treatment and showed generalized exfoliative dermatitis with severe itch. Many authors reports that some biological drugs can induce chronic inflammatory diseases such as psoriasis and atopic dermatitis, especially anti-IL17 drugs. Consequently, we decided to stop secukinumab treatment and to start dupilumab. After six weeks of dupilumab treatment, guselkumab was added to manage the psoriatic disease. At one month of combinate therapy, the patient reported significant improvement of various parameters such as PASI, EASI, NRS itch, NRS sleep, and DLQI. Currently, the patient is receiving only treated with guselkumab 100 mg every 8 weeks, maintaining complete recovery from the disease.

Rationale: Ecthyma gangrenosum (EG) is an aggressive cutaneous disease caused by local or systemic infection with Pseudomonas aeruginosa. EG is characterized by cutaneous manifestations ranging from nodule and papule to necrotic ulceration with surrounding erythema, especially with black eschar or central crust. EG presents with characteristic skin lesions which is important to establish diagnosis of sepsis caused by P aeruginosa, a serious condition that can be treated efficiently if diagnosed early. Patient concerns: A 5-month-old male infant, case of Severe HIE, Ventilatory dependent with Tracheostomy, NGT feeding, Epilepsy and dystonia admitted to Cambridge Medical and rehabilitation Center (CMRC)–AUH -UAE. Developed characteristic skin lesions of EG and developed sepsis. Diagnoses: Ecthyma gangrenosum and sepsis caused by Pseudomonas aeruginosa. Interventions: Meropenem was used in combination with Vancomycin at first and then continued only with Meropenem. Outcomes: Cure. Lessons: Early recognition of EG plays an important role in providing appropriate empiric antibiotic treatment at early stage and improves the prognosis. Close clinical follow up on skin lesion evolution is an alternative to possible invasive management.

Tinea pseudoimbricata has morphological similarity to Tinea imbricata which is characterized by multiple concentric rings, but it is caused by dermatophytes other than Trichophyton Concentricum. We report a case of tinea pseudoimbricata caused by Microsporum Audounii that presented with multiple concentric scaly annular erythema. The most common clinical presentation of pseudoimbricata was tinea corporis followed by Tinea cruris. However, tinea imbricate-like lesions are very rare. Tinea pseudoimbricata is considered a unique sub-type of Tinea incognito which caused by inappropriate use of topical steroid. Both Fungal culture and microscopic findings confirmed Microsporum Audouinii infection in this case. The patient was treated with oral terbinafine according to culture and antifungal sensitivity testing at a dose of 250 mg/day for 8 weeks.

Background: Many factors are known to influence individuals’ understanding and awareness about their orofacial beauty, including age, sex, social and educational level. This manuscript attempts to identify perceptions of dental students about their own smile and their understanding about ideals of facial beauty as they are going to perform part of facial esthetic procedures after graduation. Methods: A convenience sampling method was used to recruit a sample of dental students at different stages of their study in college of dentistry. A printed questionnaire form was dispersed among the students containing demographic data and two sets of questions regarding characteristics of their own smile and their understanding about general ideals of facial beauty. Results: No significant differences emerged regarding age or sex in the students’ responses to questions related to their smile’s attractiveness. Whereas significant differences were found in the majority of responses to the other set of questions related to esthetic ideals of facial beauty between males and females but not between the two age groups. Conclusion: The outcome of the current study indicates similar awareness among male and female students about their own smiles. However, male and female students reported different outlooks toward facial beauty and attractiveness.
