Could isotretinoin be a protective agent against COVID-19?: A dermatologist perspective.
2021
Being a "trending" unique treatment for moderate-to-severe acne, isotretinoin (13-cis retinoic acid) (ISO) is currently considered by experts the first line treatment even for mild acne, unless there is an absolute contraindication. ISO was identified, among other retinoids, to inhibit SARS-CoV-2 replication in Vero E6 cells. Shoemark et al.1.
Successful treatment of primary chronic osteomyelitis in SAPHO syndrome with bisphosphonates.
2008
Summary The treatment of the painful osteomyelitis in patients with SAPHO syndrome (Synovitis, Acne, Pustulosis, Hyperostosis, Osteitis) is often a problem. A 53-year-old woman had experienced palmo-plantar pustular skin lesions for four years, and in the past two years complained about progressive breath-and movement-dependent pain of the sternum. On examination she had extensive palmoplantar pustules and a painful swelling in the area of the right sternoclavicular joint. The three-phase bone scintigraphy showed a strong focal enrichment in the right sternoclavicular joint and at the transition from the manubrium to the corpus sterni suggesting active osteo-chondritis. Initially prednisolo…
Traditional and new types of spondarthritis with special consideration of spondylodiscitis
1990
In rheumatology the so-called "seronegative spondarthritis" is a group of diseases characterized by the presence of HLA-B 27. This group includes the typical ankylosing spondylitis as well as atypical spondylopathies such as those occurring in psoriasis, Reiter's disease and chronic inflammatory enteropathies, which attack mainly the spine and secondarily the peripheral joints. In some severe cases, non-infectious, sterile spondylodiscitis was observed. These can lead to instability and fracture, followed by pseudarthrosis of the involved segment of the spine. In contrast to these traditional spondarthritides three new types are marked by the lack of HLA-B 27. 1) "Spondarthritis hyperostoti…
THE APPLICATION OF NEEDLE RADIOFREQUENCY FOR THE REDUCTION OF ACNE SCARS: A CASE STUDY.
2019
Background: Acne fulminans can leaveunsightly scars that can have a detrimental effect on a person’s ability to function in society, resulting in a deterioration in the overall quality of life of these patients. Scientific research shows that problems with self-esteemmay lower a person’s quality of life, making them reluctant to interact with other people.This, in turn, may lead to depression and, in extreme cases, to suicide. For people who suffer from acne fulminans, this is an extremely serious problem.This is compounded by the fact that even if they spend much of their life fighting acne, ultimately successfully, they still may be left with the visual effects of the disease, like scars.…
Possibilities of using vegetable oils in acne skin care
2022
Oleje roślinne są to ciekłe tłuszcze pochodzenia roślinnego. Pod względem chemicznym to połączenia glicerolu i kwasów tłuszczowych wiązaniem estrowym. Stosunek kwasów tłuszczowych nasyconych i nienasyconych w cząsteczce oleju warunkuje właściwości poszczególnych olejów i ich przydatność m.in. kosmetyczną. Celem pracy była charakterystyka olejów roślinnych ze szczególnym uwzględnieniem budowy chemicznej oraz ukazanie znaczenia poszczególnych kwasów tłuszczowych w kosmetyce i dermatologii. Dokonano podziału olejów ze względu na stosunek ilościowy nienasyconych i nasyconych kwasów tłuszczowych oraz zwrócono uwagę na możliwość zastosowania olejów roślinnych w codziennej pielęgnacji skóry trądzi…

Microbiome and Probiotics in Acne Vulgaris—A Narrative Review
2022
Acne vulgaris is a chronic disease characterised by the appearance of eruptions such as whiteheads, blackheads, pustules, papules, and cysts. Among factors that cause acne vulgaris are the abnormal keratinisation of the sebaceous canal, bacterial colonisation (Cutibacterium acnes), increased sebum production, genotypic factors, and hormonal disorders. Treatment is often long and tedious, and can lead to a reduction in quality of life and social isolation. The intestinal microbiota is greatly important in the formation of acne lesions. It is also responsible for the proper immunity of the organism. Acne is a disease that can be related to the condition of the digestive tract and its microbio…
Pronóstico de la hemorragia subaracnoidea espontánea aneurismática y su correlación con escalas de gravedad, escalas de calidad de vida y tratamiento…
2015
La hemorragia subaracnoidea (HSA) corresponde a uno de los tipos de hemorragia intracraneal en el que se produce una extravasación de sangre en el espacio subaracnoideo o leptomeníngeo. La causa más frecuente es el traumatismo craneoencefálico y en segundo lugar el sangrado espontáneo. La HSA primaria o espontánea se produce, con mayor frecuencia, por la ruptura de una aneurisma cerebral. La HSA es el subtipo de ictus menos frecuente pero es el que cualitativamente mayor morbimortalidad produce. La carga sociosanitaria que representa es aún más pesada dado que incide en un porcentaje relevante de los casos sobre personas jóvenes, previamente sanas y completamente independientes. A pesar de …
Analysis and evaluation of the inclusive model in infant and primary centre support systems
