We describe the application of a substrate curvature technique adapted for biological tissue to accurately characterize SC drying stresses as a function of time following environmental pre-conditioning and chemical treatment in a range of drying environments. SC stresses were observed to increase to stress levels of up to [sim] 3 MPa over periods of 8 h depending on pretreatment and drying environment. A unique relationship between the SC stress and water in the drying environment was established. The effect of glycerol on lowering SC stresses and damaging surfactants on elevating SC stresses were quantified. Extensions of...

The objectives were to analyze the circumferential length of pincer nail and the relationship between nail deformity and the underlying distal phalangeal shape. The circumferential length of 53 pincer nails was determined at successive 5-mm intervals of the nail plate. Sixty great toes, including normal (n=20), ingrown (n=20), and pincer nails (n=20), were assessed with respect to body height, body weight, body mass index, nail height, nail width index, and nail height index. Nail angle and height of osteophyte were measured. Despite the presence or absence of overcurvature, the circumferential length displayed nearly iden...

Clinical Outcome of Cutaneous Flaps Versus Full-Thickness Skin Grafts After Mohs Surgery on the Noseemail this articleEmail this article to a colleague. save this article to My ClippingsSave this article to My Clippings. discuss this articleDiscuss or comment on this article.
In this study, 43 flaps and 24 grafts were evaluated using a modified Hollander Wound Evaluation Scale and a visual analogue scale. The mean visual analogue scale score was significantly better for flap repairs than for graft repairs. In addition, 100% of flaps had an acceptable overall cosmetic appearance on the basis of the Hollander Wound Evaluation Scale, compared with only 75% of skin grafts. For defects on the nose where flap and graft repair may both be technically possible, a flap may be more likely to result in superior cosmetic outcome. The authors have indicated no significant interest with commercial supporters.

Paediatric vulval lichen sclerosusemail this articleEmail this article to a colleague. save this article to My ClippingsSave this article to My Clippings. discuss this articleDiscuss or comment on this article.
Lichen sclerosus (LS) in children is uncommon; however, it is an important differential diagnosis in any pre-pubertal child presenting with chronic vulval symptoms. The long-term prognosis is unknown; however, recent data suggests that the assumption that the condition will resolve at puberty may be incorrect. Children with LS require long-term management with topical corticosteroids, which remains the treatment of choice, as well as long-term follow up. We review the current literature on paediatric vulval LS.

We report the results of eight patients with inoperable MCC treated with RTx alone between 1993 and 2007 at Westmead Hospital, Sydney, Australia, and also review the relevant literature on definitive RTx in the treatment of MCC. The median age at diagnosis was 82.5 years in five women and three men. All patients were Caucasian and none were immunosuppressed. Seven of eight patients were clinically node-positive. The mean duration of follow up was 12 months. A median dose of 50 Gy was prescribed. Seven of eight patients with inoperable MCC achieved in-field control, with most eventually relapsing distantly.

Melanoma in private practice: Do dermatologists make a difference?email this articleEmail this article to a colleague. save this article to My ClippingsSave this article to My Clippings. discuss this articleDiscuss or comment on this article.
Malignant melanoma is a major contributor to Australian morbidity and mortality. In this era of resource rationalisation, we seek to address the issue of whether routine full-skin examination by a dermatologist, rather than focussed examination of flagged lesions, will increase melanoma diagnosis. A retrospective chart review was undertaken between 1 July 2007 and 30 June 2008 in a private dermatology group practice in order to ascertain the number and characteristics of incidentally detected melanomas on routine skin examination. A total of 94 melanomas were detected during this 12-month period. Of these, 57 (60.6%) were ...

Currently, the National Health and Medical Research Council do not have any recommendations about the frequency of follow up after treatment of primary cutaneous invasive squamous cell cancer (SCC), due to a lack of data. The present study aimed to establish appropriate follow-up times and to determine the long-term risk of subsequent non-melanoma skin cancers and melanoma. Patients who had a primary invasive cutaneous SCC excised during 1996 were retrospectively identified from the databases of a dermatologist in private practice in south-east Queensland. Data on size, site, depth, differentiation, perineural involvement,...

Topical immunotherapy with contact sensitizers for metastatic melanoma was first reported more than 30 years ago. Diphencyprone (DPCP) immunotherapy is frequently used to treat cutaneous warts and alopecia areata, and we have previously reported the use of DPCP as a single agent to successfully treat extensive, radiotherapy-resistant melanoma metastases on the scalp. We now report DPCP treatment of a further six patients with cutaneous metastatic melanoma. Of seven patients treated with DPCP thus far, four have demonstrated complete responses of their cutaneous lesions and three have had partial responses. The treatment wa...

We present two female children aged 7 years with extensive multifocal venous malformations complicated by chronic localized intravascular coagulation.

Haematological investigations demonstrated persistent elevation of the D-dimer, consistent with chronic localized intravascular coagulation. The course of one patient was complicated by the development of multiple painful thromboses at distant sites following percutaneous sclero...

We report a case of type I cryoglobulinaemia in a 52-year-old man who presented with widespread cutaneous necrosis. The diagnosis could not be established early on, as repeated testing for cryoglobulin was negative despite a careful collection method. The diagnosis was made 1 year later, on an incidental full blood smear that revealed crystals, which is an uncommon way to diagnose this condition. We discuss the difficulties we faced in establishing the diagnosis and emphasise the need for repeat cryoglobulin testing in this clinical setting. In such cases, examination of a blood smear should be considered.

A 71-year-old man presented with erythroderma and multiple nodular skin lesions over the face, scalp, upper limbs and trunk. The facial skin was thickened, producing the rare 'leonine facies' appearance. Investigations revealed the presence of atypical lymphoid cells in the peripheral blood, bone marrow and skin. The atypical lymphoid cells in the peripheral blood and bone marrow were positive for helper T-cell antigens (CD4, CD2, CD5 and CD7) on immunophenotyping by flow cytometry. The histopathology of skin showed dermal infiltration by atypical small lymphocytes with epidermotropism. These cells were positive for helper...

A 61-year-old woman was referred to our dermoscopy unit for a pigmented lesion that had been present on her left arm for 8 years. The patient did not notice any enlargement or change in colour. On dermoscopy, homogeneous blue pigmentation was seen. The lesion was excised with the pre-operative diagnosis of melanoma, blue naevus and dermatofibroma. Histopathological examination showed a trichilemmal cyst in the mid-dermis. Although homogeneous blue pigmentation on dermoscopy is the hallmark of blue naevus, it may be seen in metastatic melanoma and exceptionally in hemosiderotic and cellular types of dermatofibroma.

Scabies and pyodermas are two of the commonest skin infections in tropical settings. They affect large numbers of people, particularly children, and account for a large burden of disease for peripheral health care teams. Despite this there have been significant advances in our knowledge of these diseases, their impact and their management. However there is a need to evaluate these developments in this specific setting, tropical health and in the context of communities with limited resources. This section will describe these advances and the challenges that remain.

Filariasis is an infectious disease of the lymphatics and subcutaneous tissues caused by nematodes or filariae. Carried by mosquito vectors, this disease causes millions of people to suffer from lymphedema and elephantiasis, characteristics of filariasis infection. This disease can be diagnosed through the identification of microfilariae in blood or skin samples, antigen detection, radiographic imaging, or polymerase chain reaction. Mass drug administration by the World Health Organization has helped to diminish the incidence of filariasis. However, continued research on new drugs and vaccinations will be needed to control...
