Congenital ichthyosis is a term used to describe a number of underlying genodermatoses that signify abnormalities of the fetal skin. Newborns with collodion, an uncommon kind of congenital ichthyosis, have severe clinical difficulties that raise their mortality risk. In this case report, a full-term male baby with the appearance of a translucent collodion membrane covering his entire body is described. The infant developed systemic complications, which required intense neonatal care. Collodion newborns are a rare occurrence that can be treated with supportive care and identified quite accurately using invasive prenatal testing. This case report aims to address this issue and highlights the importance of early diagnosis, multidisciplinary management, and supportive care in improving outcomes.

Sarcoidosis is a multi-systemic granulomatous disorder of unknown etiology that can affect multiple organs, with the lungs and intrathoracic lymph nodes being the most involved. The skin is another organ that can be involved in systemic sarcoidosis. However, primary cutaneous sarcoidosis has been reported in about 25% of cases. Primary cutaneous sarcoidosis is a diagnostic challenge due to its heterogenicity and resemblance of other dermatologic conditions. In such cases clinicopathological correlation plays a crucial role in identification, prognosis and mangement of the disease. Documentation of case reports allows a better understanding of primary cutaneous sarcoidosis, its presentation diagnostic challenges and patient’s manegement. In this case report we review a case of a 44-year-old male patient from middle east who presented with primary cutaneous sarcoidosis. The patient presented to the dermatology department with a non-itchy, erythematous papule without scales at the left shoulder for two months duration. Skin punch biopsy demonstrated an intradermal nodule of non-necrotizing well-defined granulomas. Chest imaging didn’t show any pulmonary sarcoidosis. Cutaneous sarcoidosis can present with different manifestations; thus early identification helps in early intervention.

Objective: This study aimed to assess health-related quality of life (HRQoL) among postpartum women in Jordan and identify the factors that may influence it. Methodology: This study employed a cross-sectional design and was conducted among women who had given birth within the last year, selected through cluster randomization from four primary healthcare centers in Amman. Household resource quality of life was measured on the validated 36-Item Short Form Survey (SF-36), which covers eight domains of health. Descriptive statistics were calculated. Independent t-tests and one-way ANOVA were used to compare mean HRQoL scores across categories of socio-demographic variables (e.g., marital status, income, employment, feeding type). Pearson correlation was used to examine the relationship between age (the only continuous variable) and HRQoL domains. Statistical significance was set at p < 0.05. Results: The physical functioning had the highest HRQoL (62.48 ± 25.19), and the lowest HRQoL (34.59 ± 37.46) was found in role limitations due to physical health and emotional problems (36.37 ± 40.90). Key socio-demographic factors were highly related to HRQoL. Better general health perceptions (p = 0.003) and emotional well-being (p = 0.005) were found to be correlated with higher income. The married women scored much higher in physical functioning (p = 0.015) and emotional well-being (p = 0.013) than divorced women. Infant feeding methods and employment status were also significantly associated with certain domains of HRQoL. Conclusions: Postpartum women in Jordan experience low HRQoL, particularly in the domains related to role limitations. Socio-demographic factors were found to be crucial, wherein marital status and income are specific aspects. This study strongly recommends immediate integration of an appropriate multidimensional support program in postpartum care as an intervention toward improving maternal well-being.
