Subcutaneous fat necrosis of the newborn is a rare benign panniculitis found in
term and post-term neonates. Diagnosis is based on clinical characteristics and
specific alterations in the adipocytes, detected by anatomical pathology.
Subcutaneous fat necrosis of the newborn can occur in uncomplicated pregnancy
and childbirth. However, perinatal complications such as asphyxia, hypothermia,
seizures, preeclampsia, meconium aspiration, and even whole-body cooling used in
newborns with perinatal hypoxia/anoxia may be associated with this entity.
Atopic Dermatitis is a very heterogeneous and complex disease. Recently, the ethnic background has been reported as a determining factor for a better understanding of genetic differences, clinical phenotypes, and immune activation patterns in patients with AD. In the future, therapeutic interventions should consider these immunophenotypes for individualizing treatment of atopic dermatitis.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
