Allergic contact dermatitis caused by skin painting (pseudotattooing) with black henna, a mixture of henna and p-phenylenediamine and its derivatives.

BACKGROUND: Skin painting (pseudotattooing) with henna is traditionally performed mainly in Muslim or Hindu persons. Recently, transient artists have begun using black henna mixtures to temporarily paint the skin. Emergence of allergic contact dermatitis after application indicates the presence of a skin sensitizer in such preparations and poses future risks. OBSERVATIONS: Four patients developed allergic contact dermatitis after skin painting with black henna performed in France, Egypt, and the United States. The delay of symptoms suggested previous sensitization in 1 patient and active sens…

Review of oral and pharyngolaryngeal benign lesions detected during esophagogastroduodenoscopy.

Recent advancements in endoscopy equipment have facilitated endoscopists' detection of neoplasms in the oral cavity and pharyngolaryngeal regions. In particular, image-enhanced endoscopy using narrow band imaging or blue laser imaging play an integral role in the endoscopic diagnosis of oral and pharyngolaryngeal cancers. Despite these advancements, limited studies have focused on benign lesions that can be observed during esophagogastroduodenoscopy in the oral and pharyngolaryngeal regions. Therefore, this mini-review aimed to provide essential information on such benign lesions, along with r

The modern pharmacological approach to diabetes: innovative methods of monitoring and insulin treatment.

INTRODUCTION: Diabetes mellitus, commonly known as just diabetes, is a group of metabolic disorders characterized by a high blood sugar level over a prolonged period of time. In order to maintain this blood glucose value in normal parameters, a careful monitoring of it and insulin administration are necessary. AREAS COVERED: Thus, to facilitate this procedure, new blood glucose monitoring systems have been studied. The smart lens, the nano tattoo, noninvasive sensors based on reverse ionthophoresis and glucose oxidase - based continuous blood glucose monitoring systems, are the methods descri

Acquired Asymptomatic Blue Tongue: A Report of Exogenous Agent-associated Tongue Dyschromia and Review of Blue Tongue Etiologies.

This study presents the case of a man who developed a temporary and asymptomatic blue tongue. The dyschromia occurred following topical contact with gelato that contained Food, Drug, and Cosmetic (FD&C) blue dye no. 1. The etiology of a blue tongue is either congenital (in individuals with blue rubber bleb nevus syndrome) or acquired. Acquired blue dyschromia of the tongue results from either endogenous conditions or exogenous agents. The endogenous conditions include not only benign (angioleiomyoma, hemangioma, melanocytic macule, and varicosities) and malignant (ovarian carcinoma) tumors but

Metal allergens of growing significance: epidemiology, immunotoxicology, strategies for testing and prevention.

Metal-induced allergic contact dermatitis (ACD) is expressed in a wide range of cutaneous reactions following dermal and systemic exposure to products such as cosmetics and tattoos, detergents, jewellery and piercing, leather tanning, articular prostheses and dental implants. Apart from the well known significance of nickel in developing ACD, other metals such as aluminium, beryllium, chromium, cobalt, copper, gold, iridium, mercury, palladium, platinum, rhodium and titanium represented emerging causes of skin hypersensitivity. Despite the European Union directives that limit the total nickel

Ранняя диагностика улучшает результаты по гепатиту С.

Хроническая инфекция гепатита С (ГХВ) затрагивает 0,8-1,0% населения Соединенного Королевства, при этом до 70% из них постоянно страдают от хронической инфекции. HCV излечимо, но если его не лечить, то он может перейти к конечной стадии заболевания печени и потенциально гепатоклеточной карциномы. За последние пять лет существенно изменились варианты регулирования ВКВ, причем повысились показатели лечения и терпимости; в настоящее время можно достичь более 90% показателей лечения. Основными факторами риска для приобретения ВИЧ-инфекции в Соединенном Королевстве являются употребление наркотиков

Pruritus ani: more than a decade of personal experience in Lebanon.

INTRODUCTION: Pruritus ani is a common medical condition that is difficult to treat in the absence of obvious predisposing factors. Hereby, … er cases like anal fissure and fistula were treated surgically. Idiopathic patients were treated by tattooing (injection to perianal skin with methylene blue). RESULTS & DISCUSSION: The majority of patients with known medical etiology responded favorably to conservative treatment (≈ 92%). In addition, surgical management for anorectal disorders like hemorr …

Strategic selection of multi-parametric laser settings and clinical endpoints in dermatology: an engineering-to-clinical review.

Selective photothermolysis, which enables precise targeting of melanin, hemoglobin, and water, is the foundation for modern dermatologic laser therapy. This review bridges laser physics with clinical practice by organizing systems on the basis of spectral domain and indication: Q-switched and picosecond lasers for tattoos and lentigines; pulsed-dye and long-pulsed neodymium-doped yttrium aluminum garnet (Nd:YAG) lasers for vascular lesions; alexandrite and diode lasers for hair removal; and fractional ablative (CO₂, erbium-doped yttrium aluminum garnet [Er:YAG]) and non-ablative platforms for
