Edward R. Winstead. A genome-wide search for susceptibility genes in bipolar disorder has yielded a potential hotspot on chromosome 22. In addition to the chromosome 22 region, researchers found evidence of susceptibility genes for bipolar disorder on chromosomes 3, 5, 10, 13 and 21.
Dermatophytes are fungi that require keratin for growth. These fungi can cause superficial infections of the skin, hair, and nails. Dermatophytes are spread by direct contact from other people (anthropophilic organisms), animals (zoophilic organisms), and soil (geophilic organisms), as well as indirectly from fomites.hese fungi can cause superficial infections of the skin, hair, and nails.

Dermatitis herpetiformis (DH), or Duhring's disease, is a chronic blistering skin condition, characterised by blisters filled with a watery fluid. Despite its name, DH is neither related to nor caused by herpes virus: the name means that it is a skin inflammation having an appearance similar to herpes.haracteristic rash. Dermatitis herpetiformis is characterized by intensely itchy, chronic papulovesicular eruptions, usually distributed symmetrically on extensor surfaces (buttocks, back of neck, scalp, elbows, knees, back, hairline, groin, or face).
