The cases of three children diagnosed with baboon syndrome are described, being defined by the appearance of dermatological lesions, with characteristic distribution and morphology, as a result of having been in contact with mercury. Other substances have been described associated with the appearance of this syndrome; however their pathogenis is not completely known, and it has been suggested that it could be another form of contact dermatitis. Diagnosis is based on patient clinical history and physical examination and there is no specific treatment.

UVR exposure is a widely applied technique in clinical and preclinical studies. Such experimental conditions provide crucial information on the biological responses of skin and cell models, which may then be extrapolated and interpreted, for example, in the context of equivalent daylight exposures. It is therefore important to fully understand the characteristics of UVR and the principles behind correct and appropriate UVR exposure in experimental settings. In this Research Techniques Made Simple article, we discuss the relevant background information and the best practices for accurate, transparent, and reproducible experimentation and reporting of UVR exposure.

Erythema multiforme is an immune-mediated mucocutaneous disorder. Mucosal involvement usually affects the oral region, the genitals or the eyes. We report a case of esophagitis caused by erythema multiforme in a patient diagnosed with lung cancer. Esophageal manifestation in erythema multiforme is rarely seen. Besides esophagitis it can lead to esophageal strictures. Erythema multiforme is mostly triggered by infection or drugs but the association with malignancy has been described.

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES
Ureters are at risk of injury in settings of inflammation and distorted anatomy. The use of a fluorescent dye can improve intraoperative ureteral identification without the need for any additional invasive procedures. Our team has previously described the development of a preclinical ureter-specific dye, UL-766, tested in a rat model. Here, we present the use of the fluorescent dye during laparoscopy to assist in ureteral identification in a swine model with an inflamed abdomen; the results of this study serve as proof of feasibility for use in the setting of tissue edema and erythema.
STUDY DESIGN/MATERIALS AND METHODS
With institutional approval, two 20-25 kg pigs underwent abdominal surgery with the use of a Food and Drug Administration-approved fluorescence laparoscopic system. Using standard laparoscopy, inflammation was induced with sharp and blunt dissection and irritation was induced with gauze. The animals were allowed to recover and returned to the operating room after 7 days. Images of the inflamed right retroperitoneum, with fluorescence imaging, turned on, were taken before and after intravenous injection of the novel fluorescent dye at 120 μg/kg. The time until fluorescence visualization of the ureters was measured, and the fluorescent signal was measured for up to 4 hours from the time of the initial dye injection. Partial and complete transection of ureteral injuries was made by scissors and monitored under both standard video and fluorescence laparoscopy.
RESULTS
Inflammation reduced the certainty of ureter identification by white light alone. Despite surrounding tissue erythema and edema, ureteral visualization under fluorescence laparoscopy was achieved within 5-10 minutes after dye injection. The fluorescent signal remained visible for at least 4 hours after injection, and the fluorescent dye showed a partial ureteral injury that would not have been observed under standard laparoscopy.
CONCLUSIONS
UL-766 is a preclinical fluorescent dye useful for the intraoperative identification of the ureters and ureteral injuries in an inflamed abdomen. With the acquisition of additional preclinical data, this novel dye can be a valuable tool during laparoscopic abdominal and pelvic surgeries. Lasers Surg. Med. © 2019 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Randomized Controlled Trial
BACKGROUND
Almonds are a rich source of phenolic and polyphenolic compounds, which have antioxidant activity. In vitro and in vivo studies have demonstrated that topical application of almond oil and almond skin extract reduces UVB-induced photoaging. Ultraviolet-B (UVB) protection by oral almond consumption has not been previously studied in humans.
OBJECTIVES
To investigate whether oral almond consumption can increase resistance to UVB radiation and reduce skin aging in healthy Asian women.
METHODS
Thirty-nine female participants (18-45 years) with Fitzpatrick skin type II-IV were randomly assigned to consume either 1.5 oz of almonds or 1.8 oz of pretzels daily for 12 weeks. Minimal erythema dose (MED) was determined using a standardized protocol, which determined the minimal radiation needed to induce erythema on the inner arm following UVB exposure. Facial skin texture was evaluated by two dermatologists using the Clinician's Erythema Assessment scale and Allergan Roughness scale. Facial melanin index, hydration, sebum, and erythema were determined using a cutometer.
RESULTS
The MED was increased in the subjects consuming almonds compared to the control group consuming pretzels. There were no differences noted between the groups consuming almonds versus pretzels in Allergan roughness, melanin, hydration, or sebum on facial skin.
CONCLUSIONS
Our findings suggest that daily oral almond consumption may lead to enhanced protection from UV photodamage by increasing the MED.

BACKGROUND
Facial erythema, a prominent characteristic of rosacea, causes concern to both the patient and doctor. In clinical practice, commonly used erythema severity subjective assessment tools lack objectivity and are less comprehensive. Even with images taken by the VISIA system, diffused erythema is difficult to segment and evaluate fully due to the automatic threshold segmentation method. This study aimed to explore a more objective and scientific erythema quantification tool with the aid of the ImageJ software analysis of the red area images taken by the VISIA system.
MATERIALS AND METHODS
Patients with rosacea were enrolled and assessed for the clinical severity of their illness using various stools-the standard grading systems (SGS) for rosacea, investigator's global assessment (IGA), and clinician's erythema assessment (CEA). Facial images in the red area mode of the VISIA system were further analyzed by the ImageJ for the relative intensity of redness and percentage of erythema area; the correlation with the scores of the subjective grading systems was evaluated.
RESULTS
This study included 201 patients (195 females and 6 males). The relative intensity of redness was positively correlated to the SGS, IGA, and CEA scores (0.688, 0.725, and 0.718, respectively) (p < 0.001). The percentage of erythema area was positively correlated to the SGS, IGA, and CEA scores (0.615, 0.666, and 0.656, respectively) (p < 0.001).
CONCLUSION
We demonstrated a more objective and precise method of assessing the severity of facial erythema rosacea, which could comprehensively assess the severity by both the area and intensity of facial erythema.
