The whole
nail plate collection technique was previously reported by Tuncay Tanriverdi, 2013.
Nail dystrophy is a
nail plate change that results from habitual external trauma to the nail matrix and most often the patient is unaware of this behavior.10 In our study, nail dystrophy was a common manifestation and was seen in 9 (6%) patients.
Scanning electron microscopy of the
nail plate in onychomycosis patients with negative fungal culture.
Although the water in the
nail plate will evaporate in around 30 to 60 minutes, the harmful part is that it will take with it all the good oils that are meant to stay in the nail, therefore stripping the
nail plate of all its flexibility, adding to the problem of brittleness."
(8) Spoon nails (koilonychias) occur where the
nail plate is very brittle, thin and flattened with slightly elevated edges.
Due to the low permeability of most drugs across the
nail plate and challenging structural issues in the nail diseases, many efforts have been made to invent creative methods to set up the efficient concentration of so-called safe topical therapies with marginal side effects.
Leukonychia arising from
nail plate abnormalities is called the true form, and it can be longitudinal, transverse, or punctate.
Longitudinal melanonychia (LM) is a clinical condition characterized by vertical linear brown or black hyperpigmented streaks visible in the
nail plate (1).
The organism invades the entire
nail plate. Candida spp.
Photo-onycholysis is a rare phototoxic reaction, which occurs due to the separation of the
nail plate from the nail bed after a drug ingestion and exposure to ultraviolet (UV) light.
