Sun, 29 Jan 2012 13:18:46 +0100 Diethylene glycol monoethyl ether: an emerging solvent in topical dermatology products http://www.medworm.com/index.php?rid=5486933&cid=s_31729_12_f&fid=31729&url=http%3A%2F%2Fdx.doi.org%2F10.1111%252Fj.1473-2165.2011.00590.x Conclusions  This safe, well‐tolerated solvent is already used in many cosmetics and will become an ingredient in an increasing number of prescription products. Its ability to modify the skin delivery of actives it is formulated with (or formulation components that are applied just shortly before or after) make it important for dermatologists to have an understanding of this emerging solvent.

The patient had persistence of the volume and appearance of her scar with sustained satisfaction 24 months after hyaluronic acid treatment, without the need for repeat injection. This case suggests expansion of the use of hyaluronic acid fillers to include scar atrophy, as persistence of a desired cosmetic appearance for 2 years is demonstrated.

Immediately after application of 23% lidocaine and 7% tetracaine mixed in an ointment base, the patients developed a diffuse eruption of vesicles and bullae on a well‐demarcated erythematous base. The patients’ lesions resolved after <1 week with gentle skin care. One patient developed macules of postinflammatory hyperpigmentation which faded over 2 months. One patient chose to cancel his laser therapy because of concerns over reproducing this adverse reaction, while the second will proceed using a different topical anesthetic agent. While topical anesthetic agents should generally be considered safe, they are not without risks. These cases illustrate a previously unreported adverse event. Clinicians s...

However, subtle changes to the federal drug code (21 CFR 1271.1) made in 2004, when applied to activated PRP, purport to make this autologous substance a federally regulated drug requiring an extensive and costly Biologics License Application. Are autologous cells drugs? Many physicians believe there are significant problems with this regulatory paradigm.

The paper describes the effective use of selective lower jowl phosphatidylcholine/deoxycholate lipolysis and chin, cheek, and nose augmentation with hyaluronic acid to refine cosmetic lower facial contouring using botulinum toxin type A in a young Asian woman. A series of treatments was administered over 26 months. The patient’s lower cheeks were slimmed and jowl definition was improved producing the patient’s desired sculptured, heart‐shaped face. The injection‐based procedures provided much preferable alternative to surgery from the perspective of both the patient and her family. The author...

It usually presents as grouped micro‐ to macroscopic vesicles filled with lymph. Surgical excision has been the standard treatment, but it is associated with scarring, infection, injury to the surrounding structures, and a high recurrence rate. Herein, we report a 24‐year‐old male patient with a lymphangioma circumscriptum on the nape of the neck that was treated with two sessions of an intralesional injection of 1% sodium tetradecyl sulfate sclerotherapy with a very good result. After this treatment, there was no more discharge and a reduction in the lesion’s size by 70%. Sclerotherapy using sodium tetradecyl sulfate can be considered a succe...

In this review a focus on minimally invasive procedures to correct aesthetic problems of male breast are discussed. The major indications are gynecomastia, breast asymmetry, and body sculpturing. Minor surgery, laser lipolysis, dermal filler and cell‐assisted lipotransfer are among the most promising techniques available.

Nevertheless, these effects were frequently partial or unpredictable because of the uncontrolled nature of monopolar or unipolar RF and the superficial nature of energy flow for bipolar or tripolar configurations. One of the hypotheses for lack or predictability of efficacy of the first‐generation RF therapy skin tightening systems is lack of adaptation of delivered power to differences in individual skin impedance. A novel multisource phase–controlled system was used (1 MHz, power range 0–65 W) for treatment and real‐time skin impedance measurements in 24 patients (EndyMed PRO™; EndyMed, Cesarea, Israel). This system allows continuous real‐time meas...

Dermatologists frequently counsel patients on sun protection as well, particularly those with a personal or family history of skin cancer, sun‐sensitive dermatoses or those with obvious sun damage. Our objective in this study was to identify novel markers of skin cancer risk, which may aid dermatologists in targeting extra sun protection counseling for certain groups. A 16‐question survey was distributed to subjects 19 years of age and older in public areas of downtown Birmingham, Alabama in August and September of 2008. Overall, about 40% of both genders reported that they were highly concerned that current sun exposure could cause skin cancer. Part...

Several 5‐alpha‐reduced steroids such as dihydrotestosterone, allopregnanolone or tetrahydrocorticosterone have neurotrophic, neuroprotective, and anxiolytic properties. Reduced 5‐alpha‐reductase activity has been observed during depressive illness in humans. Finasteride inhibits 5‐alpha‐reductase and can robustly induce anxious and depressive behaviors in rodents. In humans finasteride treatment has been linked to an increase of depressive symptoms. A recent study reported that finasteride treatment inhibits hippocampal neurogenesis in mice. As hippocampal neurogenesis has been linked to emotional behavior, this could be of possible relevance for the pathophysiology of affectiv...

Clinically, this is often perceived as a solely cosmetic feature. However, because of a series of patients questioning the presence of hair on this location, we have performed a more in‐depth literature‐based evaluation of the trait. The goal of this manuscript was to examine the clinical significance of this anthropological phenomenon. A literature review was performed that focused on the differences of this trait in terms of pattern of presentation, age, race, sex, and usage as an identifiable marker for medical significance in certain medications and criteria for tailored treatment.

Some cases of PIH tend to be spontaneously regressed; however, certain forms of PIH need to be treated with several therapeutic attempts, including bleaching creams, several kinds of Q‐switched lasers, and erbium‐doped fractional photothermolysis system, with various treatment outcomes.

Using Zn2+ fluorescent microscopy, we observed a significant increase in Zn2+ when ZnO sunscreens were irradiated by UVB light. The amount of Zn2+ increase was dependent on both the irradiation intensity as well as on the ZnO concentration. A reduction in cell viability as a function of ZnO concentration was observed with cytotoxic assays. In a real‐time cytotoxicity assay using propidium iodide, the treatment of UVB‐irradiated ZnO sunscreen caused a late‐ or delayed‐type cytotoxicity in HEK. The addition of a Zn2+ chelator provided a protective effect aga...

Although much safer than other tattoo removal modalities, the treatment of tattoo ink with Q-switched devices may be associated with long-term adverse effects including undesired pigmentary alterations such as tattoo ink darkening. Darkening of tattoo ink is most often reported in cosmetic, flesh-toned, white, peach, and pink tattoos. In this paper, we briefly review a case of pink tattoo ink that initially darkened paradoxically but eventually resolved with continued Q-switched laser treatments.

Type IV collagen is present ubiquitously in all basement membranes and plays an important role in cell adhesion, migration differentiation, and growth. These are especially important at the dermoepidermal junction (DEJ) in skin. A reduction in the levels of DEJ proteins occurs in photodamaged skin and especially Type IV collagen at the base of a wrinkle.

We have screened several hundred plant extracts for antioxidants and discovered one that is both a strong antioxidant and can reduce skin hyperpigmentation. Extracts of Dianella ensifolia contain 1-(2,4-dihydrophenyl)-3-(2,4-dimethoxy-3-methylphenyl) propane (DP), which was found to inhibit the free radical 1-1-diphenyl-2-picryl-hydrazyl (DPPH) with an EC50 value of 78 [mu]m.

Axillary osmidrosis, a non-life-threatening condition characterized by unpleasant odor and occasional staining of clothing, is an annoying problem, particularly in Asian societies. For many people who suffer from this problem, this condition is a personal discomfort, a social impairment, and discourages patients from enjoying social or personal activities, especially young women. They are usually embarrassed by the smell during their daily activities and communication with other people.

The compositions of many inks have been identified; however, as new mixtures are created it becomes difficult to identify the specific ingredients in a particular ink. Allergic reactions to a particular pigment can manifest in several ways including allergic contact dermatitis and photoallergic dermatitis. Subsequently, tattoo ink or pigment allergy reactions can be classified as acute inflammatory reactions, allergic hypersensitivities, and granulomatous, lichenoid, and pseudolymphomatous types of reactions.

Her hair was light brown and dull with evident patches of alopecia. There were no signs of scalp inflammation or scarring. A hair pull test revealed multiple hairs, easily and painlessly extracted. Light microscopic examination and trichogram were consistent with loose anagen hair syndrome. This is an unusual benign hair disorder of childhood that improves spontaneously with aging.

These have contributed to aggregate value for the raw materials and involvement of small farms forming rural production in Brazil, since the plants are cultivated in preservation areas sponsored by companies who are partners in the Government Program for Brazilian Sustainability. Given that the oils extracted from seeds have the potential to replace these cutaneous constituents, it has been verified that new products of strong commercial impact show an increasing tendency to incorporate in their formulas the oils of plants grown in Brazilian soil.
