The aim of the study was to create cosmetic formulations used for washing and conditioning based on natural whey derived from tofu. Tofu whey used in the production of hair cosmetics turns out to be valuable waste that replaces water. Whey is an ingredient rich in proteins, oligosaccharides and isoflavones. When trying to follow the principles of sustainable development, we need also to be responsible for protecting water resources. Using whey, we limit water consumption to the necessary minimum. Hence, we also support no water waste trend. Tofu whey, which is a valuable waste that replaces water, was used in the production of podology products. The research was conducted following the approval of the Bioethics Committee, resolution number 223/22. Tests confirming or excluding the properties and performance of tofu whey declared by the Ordering Party were carried out at probands’ homes and in the Dermatology Center (Centrum Dermatologii Sp. z o.o.) in Poznan. The probands were volunteers. A group of 30 people was selected for the study according to the indications for the use of the product submitted for experiments. The selection of probands was carried out after a preliminary assessment of the condition of feet and health. Due to the purpose of the product, the study involved people who declared a desire to improve the appearance and condition of their feet. The study used the imaging method with the participation of a microcamera.

Increasing numbers of patients are being diagnosed with heart failure because of the ageing population and improved survival rates following myocardial infarction. This article examines how one symptom of heart failure (peripheral oedema) can have an adverse impact on a patient's lifestyle. It discusses how peripheral oedema develops as a result of heart failure, the problems associated with peripheral oedema, how a good skin care routine can minimize these problems and the importance of self-monitoring and other steps that a patient can undertake to prevent acute heart failure.

Many older people living at home or in residential settings in the community suffer from inflammation of the skin of the lower legs, or venous eczema. Management of this condition may depend on the background of the professional who carries out the initial assessment. Those with a tissue viability background may plan their care based on an assessment of the patient for suitability for compression, to reverse the venous hypertension which may be a causative factor of the eczema. On the other hand, professionals with a background in dermatology may base initial care plans on the use of emollients and topical steroids to reduce inflammation. This article examines the evidence base for our understanding of what causes venous eczema, questions whether current management of the condition is truly evidence-based, and argues for a more pro-active approach to both assessment and management of venous eczema.
