Parry-Romberg Syndrome (PRS), or progressive hemifacial atrophy, is a rare disorder marked by the progressive atrophy of skin and soft tissues, sometimes affecting muscles, cartilage, and bones. Typically manifesting in childhood, PRS has a 66% female predilection and sporadic occurrence. Diagnosis is clinical, supplemented by tests to exclude other conditions. Treatment options include bone/cartilage grafts, fat grafts, dermal fillers, and free tissue transplantation. Lipoinjection, using autologous adipose tissue enriched with stem cells, is a promising technique. A 33-year-old female with PRS exacerbated by pregnancy presented with severe right hemifacial atrophy. Initial lipoinjection elsewhere resulted in significant graft reabsorption. At our institution, a second lipoinjection was performed at age 34 after disease remission. Five months postoperatively, 30% graft reabsorption was noted, but significant improvement in facial symmetry was achieved. A second lipoinjection session further enhanced facial volume and skin quality. Four months postoperatively, the patient showed substantial improvement, with 90% facial symmetry and stable disease remission. Autologous lipoinjection is an effective treatment for PRS-related facial atrophy, offering minimal tissue rejection and satisfactory aesthetic outcomes. The presented case highlights the potential of this technique in achieving significant clinical improvement and facial symmetry in PRS patients.

Currently there are some skin diseases that have increased their appearance in people, mainly due to environmental pollution. According to some research, it is known that at 18 years of age, people have accumulated 70% of the chronic actinic damage that will manifest itself with some skin condition in adulthood. Certain scientific studies demonstrate the beneficial properties of the corn plant in relation to skin conditions, so the development of an artisan soap based on this plant was proposed. The objective of this work was to apply a study that allowed determining the acceptance of this soap in Metepec, México. The type of research was quantitative and descriptive in scope. The market study process was carried out by Zikmund (2009) considering the following stages: Definition of the objective, Planning of the design and the sample, Collection, processing and analysis of the data and Formulation of the report. The results were: 90% acceptance of the product, elaboration in pastel colors, with relaxing aromas, stick, oval in shape and a size of 160 grams. Respondents aware of the environmental problems that exist, prefer biodegradable packaging.
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.
