“…Moreover, bone health has been correlated to nail properties [9]. While oral silicon and calcium have been proven to significantly enhance the bone quality in osteoporosis patients [10], a topical route might be more adequate for the delivery of these elements to the nail plate due to a reduced circulation to the nail matrix in diabetes patients [11], but also due to the high systemic doses that could be required for an optimal therapeutic effect.…”

Calcium and Silicon Delivery to Artificial and Human Nails from Nail Polish Formulations

A deteriorating nail standard is a growing problem as the global prevalence of diabetes is increasing. Systemic treatment with mineral supplements may not be recommended, mainly due to the high doses required to deliver optimal therapeutic concentrations. In this work, we evaluate nail polish formulations for the local delivery of strengthening elements to the nail plate. Specifically, we assess calcium and silicon release from nail polish base coat formulations containing three different concentrations of White Portland Cement to water, as well as to artificial and human nails. The delivery of calcium and silicon to the dorsal nail plate was determined by inductively coupled plasma optical emission spectrometry, scanning electron microscopy, and energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first study showing that such dual elemental delivery to human nails can be achieved from nail polish formulations. Hence, this work may form the basis for new inventions where therapeutic functionalities can be integrated with the mechanical and cosmetic properties of a base coat nail polish. Future permeability studies are required to verify long-term effects on the nail standard, induced by the formulations under study.

“…2,6 Thus, it is important to schedule regular skin and nail assessments and, if necessary, immediate treatment of such changes to avoid more serious complications. 7 In this case, the nurse plays an important role in the early detec-tion of these alterations, through regular physical assessments and referral to specialists when detecting disorders that are beyond their professional scope.…”

“…These alterations are mainly categorized as infectious, vascular, and neuropathic alterations, the latter being a possible precursor of the diabetic foot -a condition in which foot ulcers form on individuals with diabetes. 7,9 Many of these problems can be detected early, with the involvement of patients in the daily practice of self-care, including optimal glycemic management, choosing appropriate shoes, skin hydration and healthy diet, among others.…”

“…Repetitive trauma, usually from excessive and aggressive manicure and excessive immersion of the hands in soap and water, together with the presence of damage to the cuticle of periungual fold, may result in distortion of the underlying tissues of the nail, causing spaces that can be easily infected. [7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14] Chronic paronychia manifests similarly to the form but lasts longer than six weeks and is caused by multiple factors. 15 Examples include: diabetes, prolonged exposure to water, irritants, manicures, nail trauma and finger sucking.…”

Onychodystrophy is defined as the disruption of the nail plate and can be caused by a number of infective and noninfective causes. Often, the treatment modalities and the prognostic outcomes differ according to the underlying etiology of nail dystrophy. Hence, an understanding of the anatomy of the nail unit and clinical presentations of various acquired causes of onychodystrophy is necessary to address the underlying cause and treat accordingly.
