Previous research suggested that 16-week old dog pups, but not wolf pups, show attachment behaviour to a human caregiver. Attachment to a caregiver in dog pups has been demonstrated by differential responding to a caregiver compared to a stranger in the Ainsworth Strange Situation Test. We show here that 3-7 week old wolf pups also show attachment-like behaviour to a human caregiver as measured...

Lupus erythematosus, especially the discoid form, and lichen planopilaris may be associated and can occur in different topographies (coexistence) or in the same lesion (lupus eythematosus/lichen planus overlap syndrome). Frontal fibrosing alopecia is considered a variant form of lichen Received: October 24, 2016 Accepted: October 27, 2016 Published online: November 12, 2016 Leandro Noriega Derm...

A clinical and laboratory survey of systemic lupus erythematosus was conducted in 33 Arab patients in the UAE. Arthropathy (91%) followed by renal involvement (54%) and haematological disorders (45.5%) were the major clinical manifestations. Discoid rash (3%) was the least common. Apart from headaches, other neuropsychiatric symptoms were uncommon or not encountered. A number of distinctive cli...

In 1948 Hargraves and his associates at the Mayo Clinic described two new entities in marrow biopsy material, the " tart " cell and the " lupus erythematosus " (L.E.) cell. Since then the morphology and the mechanism of production of these " cells " have been intensively studied in the United States. It is the purpose of this communication to report the finding of L.E. cells in the bone marrow ...

Linear lichen planus (LP) is a rare dermatologic disease in which lichenoid lesions conform to a blaschkolinear distribution, most commonly on the extremities. Linear discoid lupus erythematosus (DLE) is a cutaneous manifestation of lupus that also conforms to Blaschko’s lines. Blaschkolinear disorders have been shown to result from somatic mosaicism, most recently in nevus sebaceus, epidermal ...

Accessible online at: www.karger.com/drm The article by Sonntag et al. [1] in this issue of Dermatology describes 3 children with lupus erythematosus (LE) tumidus, a rare subtype of cutaneous LE which has previously not been reported in this age group. Discoid LE (DLE) is very uncommon in childhood: less than 2% of all patients with DLE have onset of the disease before the age of 10 years [2]. ...

The Cutaneous Lupus Erythematosus Disease Area and Severity Index (CLASI) is a newly described tool used to assess the activity of and damage caused by cutaneous lupus erythematosus (CLE). There is a paucity of data on CLASI from the Indian subcontinent. We sought to determine the applicability of CLASI in specific lesions of CLE in patients with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) attending a t...
