However, histopathological evaluation is uncommon. ⋯ There are differences in size and number of sebaceous glands on histopathology between SLE patients who have hair loss and those who do not. Also, there are no histopathological differences between alopecic and non-alopecic scalp areas of SLE patient.

Coronavirus disease-2019 (Covid-19) is transmitted by respiratory droplets and causes upper respiratory tract symptoms. These features of Covid-19 are essential regarding its potential association with allergic rhinitis (AR). ⋯ We conclude that the prognosis of Covid-19 was similar between patients with and without AR. The incidence of AR was relatively lower among patients with Covid-19.

During physiological root resorption of deciduous teeth, apoptotic cell death triggered by physiological processes might play a role in physiological root resorption in addition to collagen destruction. Little information has been obtained about the sequence of events and the mechanism responsible for the physiological death of pulp tissue cells. ⋯ The similarity between the AI values for both study groups suggested that in early and advanced stages of resorption, apoptosis may contribute to the regulation of the pulp cell population in a way that does not relate to the physiological process of deciduous teeth root resorption.

Taking care of bedridden patients at home is a very difficult task for caregivers. In this care process, caregivers can be supported with the interventions given by the nurses at home. ⋯ Our study highlights that the burden and anxiety levels of the caregivers had lower post-test levels than the pre-test levels.
