Laurence-Moon-Bardet-Biedl syndrome (LMBBS) is a rare autosomal recessive disorder with clinical and genetic heterogeneity. It is characterized by rod-cone dystrophy, postaxial polydactyly, central obesity, mental retardation, and hypogonadism. It is one of the few rare genetic diseases which can be diagnosed easily on a clinical basis and does not rely on laboratory investigations and genetic analysis for the diagnosis. We report a case of an adolescent boy who presented to us primarily for atopic dermatitis, who had typical features of LMBBS which had been overlooked till he came to our hospital.

Indian Association of Dermatologists, Venereologists and Leprologists is actively involved in providing its members diverse opportunities for academic growth. The residents during post graduation can avail post graduate thesis grants and scholarships. IADVL observerships and trainings are more suitable immediately after completing post graduation. Many awards including the PG thesis based award paper session is an excellent opportunity to present the research work conducted during residency. Apart from this the IADVL digital academy platform is an excellent learning resource.

The postgraduate medical education regulation demands that the postgraduates should have publications and presentations to their credit to make them eligible to appear at the postgraduate degree examination. Unless the thesis is published, the scientific world won’t be updated of the research finding and the entire effort a postgraduate has put forward in conceptualising, designing and implementing the research goes into vain. The present article aims to give an overview to residents on how to proceed about planning and execution of publication of their thesis. Although everyone wants to submit in the best journal, there are limitations to be considered and choosing the right journal is an important step. Knowing the thrust area and readership of the journal and also the quality of the thesis helps to make the choice. The article highlights into the introspection of the quality of the thesis and tips to choose the article type best suited for publication. Drafting of the different sections of the article is highlighted with reference to CONSORT guidelines. Drafting of the title along with choosing the running title and key words, abstract, introduction, methodology, results, discussion, limitations and conclusion are highlighted along with tips on drafting the references too. In the end, we also discuss on how to face rejection and the way forward.

Dermoscopy is a very useful tool in determining stability in vitiligo. Dermoscopic features of unstable vitiligo are trichrome appearance, comet tail appearance, star burst appearance, amoeboid pattern, nebular pattern, tapioca sago pattern and perifollicular hypopigmentation. Most studies are done on determining features of vitiligo lesions; however, there is lack of studies on dermoscopy in normal appearing perilesional skin. This would give an insight into the extent of the disease process, beyond the borders of skin lesions. We conducted a study on 100 unstable lesions of vitiligo and studied dermoscopic features in its perilesional skin. The objective of this study was to observe dermoscopic features of apparently normal perilesional skin in patients of unstable vitiligo. A cross-sectional study was conducted in a tertiary care centre in New Delhi. We evaluated perilesional skin of 100 unstable vitiligo lesions over a span of 1 year. The perilesional skin has been defined as area within 5 cm of the lesion. Dermoscopy was performed using DERMLITE 4 Dermoscope at 10X magnification with inbuilt white light and polarised light. Polarised light was used to study changes in the pigmentary network and other patterns. We looked for features such as pigment network, perifollicular pigmentation, presence of leukotrichia, microkoebner phenomenon and satellite lesions in the perilesional skin. The study included a total of 100 unstable lesions. Majority of patients belonged to the age group of 18−30 years. Females outnumbered males (1.8:1). All cases had progressive disease and mean duration of disease was 12.07 ± 10. 85 years. Dermoscopic features of vitiligo were observed in 56% of patients even in normal appearing perilesional skin. The most common dermoscopic finding observed was reduced pigment network which was seen in 33% of cases. Perifollicular hypopigmentation and depigmentation were observed in 23 and two sites, respectively, while leukotrichia was seen at ten sites. Eight sites showed microkoebners phenomenon. The perilesional apparently normal skin also shows signs of disease activity in cases of unstable vitiligo. Hence, perilesional skin should also be examined carefully with the dermoscope and topical treatment and targeted phototherapy should aim at covering the normal looking perilesional skin as well, at least within 5 cm of the borders of the skin lesions. Importantly, the perilesional skin should also be examined before surgery.

Smegmoliths are hard local accumulations of smegma, mostly seen in children with phimosis. This is due to difficulty in adequate cleansing of the subpreputial area. It is not a common finding in adults. We report a case of smegmolith occurring in an adult male as a manifestation of dermatitis neglecta. Dermatitis neglecta occurs secondary to improper hygiene when a person avoids cleansing a part of his body either due to physical disability, neurodeficits or psychiatric disorder. It should be diagnosed promptly as only cleansing the part with nwormal saline would effectively treat this condition without the need for any sophisticated investigation and intervention. In the index case, smegmolith has occurred because of dermatitis neglecta in an otherwise healthy male without any underlying comorbidity.

An evolving need for learner centric approach in teaching calls for innovative methods that can be utilised by teachers in the classroom and clinical setting. In this article, we have outlined few teaching strategies that can be used to make lectures more engaging and participative. These methods not only promote active learning but also increase attention, and encourage critical thinking in the audience.
