Secondarily healing surgical wounds can be treated with negative pressure dressings. Dressing changes can be painful due to the strong adherence of the polyurethane foam placed in the wound. After debridement and conditioning of the wound bed, secondary surgical wound closure with a surgical suture can be performed. Cutaneous negative pressure treatment is used preventively after primary surgical suturing. Descriptions for secondary wound closure without a surgical suture are not known to date. The preparation and handling of an innovative transparent dressing for the cutaneous application of negative pressure treatment is demonstrated. The dressing assembly consists of a transparent drainage film and a transparent occlusion film. Negative pressure is applied via a tubing connection using a negative pressure pump. A new method of secondary wound closure using the transparent negative pressure dressing is presented based on a case example. The treatment cycle with instructions for making the dressing is shown in a video. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

In Louisa Clements Arbeiten taucht die Puppe in unterschiedlichen Erscheinungsweisen immer wieder als zentrales Motiv für die Befragung des menschlichen Körpers in digitalen Kontexten auf – als Künstliche Intelligenz-bestückte Sexpuppe, bonbonfarbener Avatar oder abfotografierte (Schaufenster-)Puppe. Fragmentiert, anonymisiert und nahezu entmenschlicht treten Puppen, Avatare oder scheinbar naturgetreue Reproduktionendes Künstlerinnenkörpers den Betrachtenden im Ausstellungsraum in zweioder dreidimensionaler Form entgegen. Die Absenz des physischen Körpers, die in den Puppen als Stellvertreterinnen angedeutet wird, führt dabei zu einem spannungsreichen Wechselspiel zwischen Virtualität und Realität.

In diesem Beitrag wird der coronabedingte Berührungsentzug und der dadurch entstandene skin hunger aus phänomenologischer Perspektive beleuchtet. Dabei wird zunächst die Leiblichkeit des Subjektes thematisiert und erläutert, dass zwischen Leiblichkeit und Berührung ein gegenseitiges Konstitutionsverhältnis besteht. Darauf aufbauend, wird die Haut als Medium der Berührbarkeit und zugleich ihre identitätsstiftende Bedeutung vorgestellt. Die Auseinandersetzung mit dem Leib und dem Haut- Ich macht deutlich, dass das Subjekt ständig mit sich selbst, der Welt und potentiell mit seinen Mitmenschen in Berührung steht. Die Zwischenleiblichkeit und die in ihr grundgelegte Möglichkeit zur Fremdberührung, welche stets durch die Haut vermittelt ist, eröffnen ein Verständnis für die Gewichtigkeit der Haut-Nähe und Haut-Berührung für die intersubjektive Kommunikation und für die menschliche Vulnerabilität. Schließlich werden zentrale Gesichtspunkte des permanenten Berührungsentzuges, welcher einen erheblichen Vulnerabilitätsfaktor darstellt, vermittelt.

Kutane T-Zell-Lymphome (CTCL) machen den Großteil aller primären kutanen Lymphome (CL) aus. 80 % aller Fälle von CTCL wiederum entfallen auf Mycosis fungoides (MF) und CD30-positive lymphoproliferative Erkrankungen der Haut. Das klinische Bild der verschiedenen Formen von CTCL zeigt Überschneidungen. Darum ist die klinisch-pathologische Korrelation von großer Bedeutung für die finale Diagnosestellung. Die MF zeigt einen charakteristischen Verlauf mit makuläre Läsionen (Patches), infiltrierte Plaques und, bei einem Teil der Patienten (10–20 %), Tumoren. Die Behandlung erfolgt stadienorientiert mit auf die Haut gerichteten Therapien wie UV-Lichttherapien und Kortikosteroiden in frühen Stadien der Erkrankung (Patch- und begrenztes Plaque-Stadium) und systemischen Therapien (Retinoide bzw. Rexinoide, Interferon, Monochemotherapie, zielgerichtete Therapie) und/oder Strahlentherapie (lokal oder Ganzkörperbestrahlung mit Elektronen) in fortgeschrittenen Stadien. Neuartige Ansätze umfassen zielgerichtete Therapien wie Mogamulizumab (Antikörper gegen CCR4) oder Brentuximab Vedotin (Antikörper gegen CD30) sowie Histon-Deacetylase-Inhibitoren. Angesichts des Impacts von zielgerichteten Therapien sind Biomarker wie CD30 nicht nur für die Diagnosestellung und korrekte Klassifikation eines Lymphoms im Einzelfall von großer Bedeutung, sondern als potenzielle Wirkstoff-Zielmoleküle auch für die Therapie. In der kürzlich überarbeiteten WHO-Klassifikation von 2017 und der aktualisierten WHO-EORTC-Klassifikation der CL von 2018 ist erstmals das CD8-positive akrale T-Zell-Lymphom als eigene, noch provisorische Entität aufgeführt. Diese Form zeigt charakteristische klinische, histologische und phänotypische Merkmale und eine hervorragende Prognose. Zu den seltenen, aber aggressiven CTCL zählen das primär kutane aggressive epidermotrope CD8-positive T-Zell-Lymphom und das kutane Gamma/Delta-T-Zell-Lymphom, die durch rasches Auftreten nekrotischer oder ulzerierender Plaques und Tumoren gekennzeichnet sind. Da bei diesen Formen die Prognose ungünstig ist, umfasst die Behandlung Polychemotherapien und hämatopoetische Stammzelltransplantationen. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Impact of Anthropogenic Pressures on the Flora of the Haut-Sassandra Classified Forest (Central-West of Côte d'Ivoire). The classified forest of Haut-Sassandra located in the center-west of Ivory Coast is subjected to a strong anthropization since the politico-military conflicts of the year 2002. This study aims to quantify the degradation in the northern, central and southern zones of this domain. To achieve this, a spatiotemporal analysis of the dynamics of the three zones was made based on five Landsat images from 1990, 1997, 2002, 2006 and 2013. It was supplemented by a floristic inventory of each zone. The results show that forest cover conversions of the three zones occurred during the conflict period with regression rates of more than 50 %. At the floristic level, 622 plant species distributed among 410 genera and 104 families were recorded in all three zones. The North and the Center differ significantly from the South by the average specific richness. The inventoried flora generally differs from one zone to another depending on the degradation factors, with a greater diversity in cocoa plantations. However, this flora, although diversified, does not have any similarity with that of the forest relics still present in the classified forest of Haut-Sassandra.

We report a novel Raman technique that allows fast and reliable ex vivo assessment of the irritability of personal care cleansing products to the skin in terms of the molecular-level effects such as retention of water by corneocytes, change in the packing order and content of intercellular lipids, and the structure of keratin. We test this technique for the single surfactants (dodecyl glucoside, sodium dodecyl sulfate, sodium cocoyl glycinate, lauramidopropyl betaine) that are typically used in personal care, as well as on three types of commercial soap bars ("superfat", "syndet", and "combar"). We find that soaking of the skin for prolonged time in pure water can cause unfolding of keratin, which is commonly considered as a signature of "harshness" when dealing with the surfactant formulations. Moreover, molecular-level signatures of irritability of the test surfactants and soaps at brief (10 min) exposure times do not follow the trend expected from their critical micelle concentrations (CMC) and collagen swelling. In particular, dodecyl glucoside has positive impact on the barrier properties of the stratum corneum (SC) and apparent detergency properties (solubilizes lipids without affecting their packing order). We also find that two qualitatively different soap bars ("superfat" and "syndet") are similarly mild under the conditions studied, while the "combar" soap has detergency properties. These results demonstrate that to improve methodology of predicting irritability of a surfactant-based formulation, we need to study more systematically the molecular-level responses of the SC to exposure.

The relationship between skin and psychiatric disorders is not an uncommon occurrence in the clinical practice; however, there are only a few systematic studies and in addition knowledge about the neurobiological and immunological mechanisms is lacking. Impairments and disorders of the skin are often an (early) sign of a psychiatric disorder. In the sense of true psychosomatics, psychiatrists should also be aware of this relationship as far as possible. This review article focuses on the most important dermatological diagnoses in relation to the respective psychiatric comorbidities and presents the most important aspects of epidemiology, symptomatology, pathophysiology and treatment options.

Durante la fase de compresión Atlásica, la cuenca Triásica de Tizi n’Test ha sufrido un proceso de inversión tectónica responsable de la reactivación de las estructuras extensionales Triásicas. A diferencia de las teorías anteriores que hablaban de un régimen transpresivo, las fallas NE-SO a ONO-ESE han sido inversas, mientras que las de direcciones NO-SE a NNO-SSE han sido reactivadas en su mayoría como fallas de desgarre. El juego inverso de las fallas inicialmente normales provocó el levantamiento de la cuenca y su zócalo paleozoico mediante un estilo de “pop-up”. Esta inversión también generó un conjunto de sinclinales en los compartimientos inferiores y anticlinales en los compartimientos superiores, con dimensiones de onda variables y ligados al movimiento vertical de las fallas inversas de zócalo. El análisis microtectónico de las estrías utilizando el programa informático R4DT ha sido llevado a cabo en 45 estaciones para determinar el estado de esfuerzos. Los 25 tensores más fiables muestran que la dirección principal de compresión σ1 tiene direcciones comprendidas entre NO-SE a NNE-SSE. El análisis de la repartición espacial del eje σ1 muestra un máximo principal hacia N012 y dos máximos secundarios entre N123 y N147. A falta de una cronología absoluta o relativa de los movimientos, interpretamos estas direcciones como ligadas a dos fases diferentes cuyas edades serían, por comparación con otros tranbajos, anterior al Mioceno para la fase N012 y Mio-Plioceno para la fase NO-SE.

The urological and andrological examination of male patients should include inspection of the genital skin in order to detect malignant neoplasms, such as erythroplasia of Queyrat and infectious diseases, such as genital warts (condylomata acuminata). Independent of the incidental finding of relevant dermatological alterations in the genital area, sexually transmitted diseases such as syphilis must again be considered more often as the incidence has greatly increased in Germany during the last few years. In addition, urologists should be able to adequately advise patients on all aspects of diseases caused by human papillomavirus. As patients are often alarmed by genital skin lesions and worried that the sex life can be impaired, the initiation of adequate therapy is of great importance. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Background: Peristomal skin lesions are frequent complications of ostomy; however, there is no generally accepted nomenclature and classification system. Objective: An interdisciplinary German expert panel (GESS) composed of ten members, developed an innovative semiquantitative classification system for peristomal skin lesions for further stratification of ostomy therapy. This score is based on criteria which can be assessed by stomal therapists and treating physicians. Results: The new peristomal skin lesion score grades three categories: lesion (L), status of ostomy (S) and disease (D). The L category describes the integrity of the skin as normal (L0), lesion with sustained integrity of skin (L1), integrity destroyed (L2) and local infection (L3). The S category rates the complexity of ostomy therapy as normal (S0), increased (S1) and high but not sufficiently effective (S2). The additional letters for categorization O. R. P. H. E. US describe anatomical pathologies of the stoma itself: ostomy stenosis (O), retraction (R), prolapse (P), hernia (H), edema (E) and unfavorable site (US). A systemic disorder is either absent (D0), irrelevant (D1) or relevant (D2). The LSD score is the basis for a management algorithm. Conclusion: The LSD score is comprehensive, standardized and holistic. Its straightforward use by health professionals can improve the consistency of the description of skin lesions and enhance the quality of ostomy therapy. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
