As micoses superficiais são prevalentes em todo o mundo, geralmente ocasionadas por dermatófitos e restritas à camada córnea. A resposta imunológica do hospedeiro às infecções dos fungos dermatófitos depende basicamente das defesas do hospedeiro a metabólitos do fungo, da virulência da cepa ou da espécie infectante e da localização anatômica da infecção. Serão revistos alguns dos fatores da defesa imunológica do hospedeiro que influenciam na eficácia da resposta imune. Em especial, a participação dos receptores de padrão de reconhecimento (PRRs), tais como os receptores toll-like ou os da família lectina (DC-SIGN e dectin-2), que participam da resposta imune inata, conferindo-lhe especificidade e definindo o padrão da resposta imune como um todo. O predomínio celular ou humoral da resposta imune definirá o quadro clínico e o prognóstico da infecção, levando à cura ou cronicidadeSuperficial mycoses are prevalent worldwide. They are often caused by dermatophytes and restricted to the stratum corneum. The host's immune response against infections caused by dermatophytes basically depends on the host's defense against metabolites of the fungi, virulence of the infecting strain or species and anatomical site of the infection. We will review some of the factors of the host's immune defense that influence the efficacy of the immune response. We will particularly review the role of pattern recognition receptors (PRRs), such as toll-like receptors or lectin receptors (DCSIGN and Dectin 2), which participate in the innate immune response, bringing specificity to the immune response and setting its pattern. The predominance of a cellular or humoral immune response determines the clinical manifestations and the prognosis of the infection, leading to healing or chronicity

Papular elastorrhexis is a rare acquired disease, first described in 1987 by Bordas, which has been very rarely reported in the literature. It is characterized by small asymptomatic non-follicular papules, mainly distributed in the trunk. Histology of the lesions shows homogenization of collagen and fragmentation of elastic fibers in the dermis. The rarity of this disease is probably due to the subtlety and benign nature of clinical and histopathological alterations, which can be easily confused with other pathologies. The authors report the case of a patient with exuberant clinical manifestations typical of elastorrhexis papular.Elastorrexe papulosa é uma doença adquirida rara, descrita em1987 por Bordas e poucas vezes relatada na literatura. Caracteriza-se por pequenas pápulas, não foliculares, assintomáticas, distribuídas essencialmente no tronco. A histologia das lesões demonstra homogeneização do colágeno e fragmentação de fibras elásticas dérmicas. A raridade dessa entidade provavelmente se deve à sutileza e benignidade das alterações clínicas e histopatológicas, que podem facilmente ser confundidas com inúmeras outras afecções. Os autores relatam o caso de uma paciente com quadro clínico exuberante e característico de elastorrexe papulosa.

Ankle is a synovial joint in ginglymus and is the first strategy of balance enabled by the parasympathetic system in the presence of disturbances. The objective was to evaluate the effect of the application of the elastic bandage (BE) in the ankle joint on postural control (CP) of healthy young men. 05 young adult men were recruited who received the application of bandages in the ankles and had the CP assessed through the force platform in three stages: pre-intervention (Pre), immediately (Ime) and 24 hours (24h) after the application. The stabilographic measures were assessed: ellipse area (95%) of the center of pressure (COP in cm2), average speed (VEL in cm/s) and frequency (F in Hz) of the COP oscillations in anteroposterior (AP) and mediolateral (ML) directions obtained in carrying out the CP task of right unipodal support (UNPD). Statistical analysis was performed using the Friedman test and multiple comparisons by Dunn's test with the GraphPad Prism v.6.01. A reduction was observed in VELML (p =0.008) and in FML (p = 0.023), being checked that this difference was between the Pre and Ime. This difference was not observed in COP (p = 0.09), in VELAP (p = 0.08) and in FAP (p = 0.054). There was improvement in postural control immediately after the application of the elastic bandage by Therapy Taping ® method in healthy men. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
