Abstract
Psoriasis is a chronic inflammatory disease which may occur in childhood. In many psoriasis cases, the disease develops in individuals younger than 18 years old. Psoriasis in children presents with a variety of clinical manifestations. Becouse of its atypical presentations, early diagnosis of psoriasis is difficult in children. The plaque type psoriasis is the most common form of the disease in children. Different treatments such as phototherapy and systemic therapies have been proposed, but using any of them leads to serious complications in children. Therefore, early diagnosis and proper management of the disease are the main components of the treatment in pediatric psoriasis cases. Herein, we aimed to provide a general overview on the pediatric psoriasis, including its epidemiology, pathogenesis, clinical manifestations as well as the treatment and discussing the latest related information.

Anderson-Fabry
which is also known as Fabry disease is an X-linked recessive enzyme
deficiency disorder. Its clinical manifestations are caused by storage of
sphingolipids in the lysosomes of the endothelial, perithelial, and smooth
muscle cells, which is due to alpha galactosidase A enzyme deficiency. Its
hallmark dermatological manifestation is diffuse angiokeratomas known as
angiokeratoma corporis diffusum. Peripheral painful neuropathy, eye
involvement, cardiovascular problems, cerebrovascular complications, and
renal failure are other manifestations of Fabry disease.

Herein,
we report a 22-year-old man who had been referred to a dermatology clinic for
evaluation of his skin lesions. The patient had diffuse angiokeratomas, which
were characteristic for Fabry disease as well as painful acral neuropathy.
Histpathologic examination of one of his skin lesions was reported as
angiokeratoma. Since cornea verticillata was observed in his eyes and he also
suffered from sensory-neural hearing loss, he was diagnosed as a case of Fabry
disease.

Abstract
Background and Aim: Skin wrinkles are typically the result of aging process. Botulinum toxin injection is a method that has many applicants. This study was performed to determine the personality disorders individuals who requested to inject botulinum toxin to improve facial wrinkles.
Methods: This descriptive cross-sectional study was performed on women and men with facial wrinkles who were referred for botulinum toxin injection to laser clinic of Yazd in 2016. The Millon questionnaire was used to determine the personality disorders. Finally, the data were analyzed by using SPSS 22 software and descriptive statistical tests.
Results: 51 individuals participated in this study with a mean age of 35.9±9.5 years. The highest frequencies were in the age group under 35 years old with 26 (51%), females with 45 (88.2%), Bachelor's degree and above with 31 (60.8%) and married status with 35 (68.6% individuals). Obsessive-compulsive disorder with frequency of 7 (13.7%) and dramatic personality trait with frequency of 6 (11.8%) were the most common disorders after normal condition. The influence of factors such as age, sex, education and marital status were not significant in the prevalence of personality disorders.
Conclusion: Most individuals who requested botulinum toxin injection had a normal psychiatric condition followed by obsessive-compulsive disorder and dramatic personality trait. This indicates the importance of beauty in the social status of the individuals which forces them to remove wrinkles for a more effective presence in the community.

Abstract
Background and Aim: Oral lichen planus is a chronic
muco-cutaneous immunopathological disorder that commonly affects the oral mucosa. Candida albicans is the most common pathogen associated with oral candidiasis. The aim of this study was to determine the effect of 810 nm low power laser wavelength as an adjuvant in the treatment of
nystatin-resistant C.albicans in patients with oral lichen planus.
Methods: In this experimental study, 5 nystatin-resistant C.albicans were isolated from the oral cavity of patients with ulcerative lichen planus. Drug susceptibility testing was performed based on CLSI-M27-A3 and showed that these isolates were resistant to nystatin. The fungal suspension with a dilution of 0.5 McFarland was exposed to a diode laser with a wavelength of 810 nm and a density energy of 20.38 j / cm with a time of 20 seconds. Then the results of minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) were recorded for each group.
Results: 810 nm laser caused a significant reduction in nystatin-resistant C.albicans colonies (P<0.001). The MIC did not decrease significantly after the exposure.
Conclusion: Laser irradiation reduces the number of nystatin-resistant C.albicans colonies. But this effect does not necessarily change the MIC. Dentists should be aware that in cases of resistant Candida strains, a low-power diode laser with a wavelength of 810 nm can play a role in reducing colonies and responding better to standard treatment.
