research Ornithine decarboxylase is a target for chemoprevention of basal and squamous cell carcinomas in Ptch1+/– mice
The study demonstrated that ornithine decarboxylase (ODC) played a crucial role in the development of basal cell carcinomas (BCCs) in Ptch1+/– mice, which are predisposed to these tumors due to mutations in the PTCH gene. Overexpression of ODC in these mice accelerated BCC induction following UVB exposure, while inhibition of ODC through antizyme overexpression or oral administration of the ODC inhibitor α-difluoromethylornithine reduced BCC formation. These findings suggested that targeting ODC could be an effective chemopreventive strategy against BCCs in humans.

research The Siblings with Blistered Legs: Marking Nut Maladies in India
An 11-year-old girl and her 14-year-old brother in India developed dermatitis after their parents tied a marking nut (Semecarpus anacardium) around their ankles, believing it would protect them from the evil eye. The siblings experienced pain, itching, redness, and fluid-filled lesions, which resolved after treatment with oral steroids and antihistamines. The marking nut, used in traditional medicine and folklore, contains bhilawanol, which can cause irritant and allergic contact dermatitis. This case highlights the importance of understanding ethnobotany and cultural practices in diagnosing skin conditions in tropical regions.
