A 35-year-old man with a history of moderate-to-severe plaque psoriasis presented to the dermatology clinic with new skin lesions. His psoriasis had been in remission for the past 18 months while on risankizumab. Two weeks before presentation, the patient had undergone his first ever session of wet cupping therapy to treat low back pain. During the treatment, clusters of small incisions had been made at different sites across his back, after which glass cups had been applied with negative pressure to draw out small amounts of blood.

The abdominojugular reflux test was performed by applying firm, sustained pressure to the center of the abdomen. A sustained increase in jugular venous pressure (JVP) of more than 3 cm of water for more than 10 seconds, as occurred in this patient, indicates a positive test. (A transient increase in JVP that returns to baseline in 10 seconds or less while abdominal pressure is applied would indicate a negative test.)

A 46-year-old man with chronic kidney disease presented with a 2-year history of painless shortening and rounding of the fingertips. Ten years earlier, he had received a diagnosis of chronic kidney disease due to obstructive nephropathy from nephrolithiasis. Since then, he had been intermittently lost to follow-up. On physical examination, all the fingertips were short, broad, and bulbous, with a pseudoclubbing appearance. The toes had similar but less severe changes. What do the findings on the exam and imaging represent? Submit your answer and see how others responded:
