The yellow nail syndrome (YNS) is a rare clinical entity characterised by slow growing yellow discoloured nails in association with peripheral lymphoedema, pulmonary manifestation (bronchiectasis, pleural effusions), and chronic sinusitis. 1 About 100 cases of YNS have been described in the literature but it has never been associated with ocular manifestations. 2 We report one patient with YNS ...

A54-year-old woman was referred for evaluation of possible cor pulmonale based on the presence of dyspnea, chronic productive cough, and bilateral leg edema for 8 years. For about 8 years, her nails had been thick, brown-yellowish and would break easily. The nail grew very slowly and sometimes separated from its bed. The appearance of the nails did not change after 7 courses of antimycotic ther...

We believe that dynamic parameters such as stroke volume variation are currently the best markers of volume responsiveness.1 While the models of Guyton and Starling are magnificent in their simplicity, therapeutic interventions based on these principles may lead to therapeutic errors in complex critically ill patients. This is demonstrated by the fact that no clinical study (of which we are awa...

Yellow nail syndrome (YNS) can be associated with a pleural effusion (PE) but the characteristics of these patients are not well defined. We performed a systematic review across four electronic databases for studies reporting clinical findings, PE characteristics, and most effective treatment of YNS. Case descriptions and retrospective studies were included, unrestricted by year of publication....

the witkop syndrome is a rare autosomal dominant disorder characterized by the absence of several teeth and abnormalities of the nails. this is the first report of a rare genetic tooth and nail syndrome diagnosed in a 2.5-year-old boy with early exfoliation of the primary canine, absence of the primary incisors, and nail dysplasia. a homozygous mutation was identified in 3’-utr of msx1 gene in ...
