Leprosy is aneasily recognizable disease due to its dermato-neurological manifestations. It must be present in the physician’s diagnostic repertoire, especially for those working in endemic areas. However, leprosy reaction is not always easily recognized by non-dermatologists, becoming one of the major problems in the management of patients with leprosy, as it presents clinical complications characterized by inflammatory process, accompanied by pain, malaise and sometimes the establishment or worsening of the patient’s disabilities. We report the case of a patient with type-1 periorbital reaction admitted to the hospital, diagnosed and treated as facial cellulitis, whose late diagnosis may have contributed to the appearance or worsening of facial neuritis.
: The relationship between atopic and allergic contact dermatitis is often discussed, especially in children. The damaged skin barrier in atopic patients can make the skin more permeable to exogenous agents and increase the risk of triggering contact dermatitis. Topical treatment of atopic dermatitis is associated with skin sensitization to several drugs, including antiseptics, emollients, and topical corticosteroids. The early onset of atopic dermatitis, as in the case reported here, the severity of the disease, and IgE-mediated sensitization are identified as the main risk factors associated with sensitization to topical treatments for atopic dermatitis. We report a two-year-old child with a previous diagnosis of atopic dermatitis, whose condition was aggravated by inadequate medical treatment.
An option to change partially or completely conventional chemical methods is a biotechnological process. It enables the development of environmentally friendly and innovative means. The safety of this process has not been fully examined, thus, the lack of awareness about risk management is a great concern. This work aims to elucidate the importance of recognizing, assessing, and controlling potential risks, and developing appropriate risk management to develop bioprocesses safely. For this purpose, qualitative research was carried out through scientific studies and current legislation. Safe development of biotechnological procedures allows for occupational safety throughout the processes. It was observed that control measures should be adopted to obtain a safe work environment for everyone. These measures can be carried out through anticipation, recognition, assessment, and control of existing risks or that may exist in the process. Also, it was found that the involvement of all adequate risk management is fundamental. Therefore, biotechnological processes must be developed safely for workers, the environment, and society.
Background: Among men, interest in undergoing aesthetic procedures has grown over the years. In particular, men are increasingly seeking lip procedures. However, there are still very few scientific reports involving lip treatments for men. Objective: The aim of this article is to describe a novel lip-filling technique performed on 23 male patients according to their needs. Methods: The technique described is a lip treatment developed to serve the male audience. In this technique, three possible treatments (booster effect, volumization, and beautification) are performed according to the patient's desire in synergy with the evaluation of the cosmetic professional. Thus, this study involved 23 male patients who wished to improve the labial and/or perilabial region and who had not undergone any previous lip procedures. Results: This study presented a novel approach to male lip fillers according to three main demands and successfully adapted to the sexual dimorphism of the lip region. The booster was the most often applied lip-filling treatment, used in approximately 56.5% of patients. On the other hand, the least often applied treatment was volumization, used in approximately 13% of patients. All patients reported being satisfied with the treatment performed. Only five patients experienced adverse reactions/complications post-treatment, which were ecchymosis and edema, but were resolved. Conclusion: This technique proved to be effective, safe, and personalized, with very satisfactory results, according to most patients. This study also evidenced the need for and importance of developing further studies of lip filling techniques for the male audience.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
