ABSTRACT

Dermatitis herpetiformis DH is a rare, intensely pruritic, chronic, recurrent, papulovesicular disease. The disease can be clearly distinguished from the other subepidermal blistering eruptions by histologic, immunologic, and gastrointestinal criteria. Most patients have an associated gluten-sensitive enteropathy GSE that is usually asymptomatic. Both enteropathy and the dermatologic findings disappear with a gluten-free diet, therefore, DH is thought to be the specific dermatologic finding of celiac disease CD. An association between CD and autoimmune disease has been documented in several studies. Similar associations have been reported in DH. We report a 46-year-old man with DH diagnosed more than 10 years previously who developed GSE, pernicious anemia, and rheumatoid arthritis in the following years

ABSTRACT

The aim of this study was to find out the difference between sole arch indices of adolescent basketball players and an age matched non-athletic group. This study was carried out in the Sports Education, Health and Research Center, Ankara, Turkey, between November 1998 and December 1998. In junior [16-18 years] categories 48 male basketball players and 45 age matched controls were included in the study. Body mass index and podoscopic sole images of subjects were recorded, and the arch index was calculated for each group. The sole arch index has no difference between basketball players and controls. The right foot arch index of the control group was 59.62 +/- 23.26 and 56.74 +/- 17.21 in players [p=0.497]. The left foot arch index was 54.54 +/- 23.72 in control groups and 55.13 +/- 17.33 in players [p=0.890]. There was a significant negative correlation between sole arch index and training age in basketball players [r=-0.3312 for right sole arch index, p value is less than 0.05; r=-0.3056 for left sole arch index, p value was less than 0.05]. These results have shown that basketball might result in specific adaptation on sole arches of adolescent players
