Wound management involves repeated clinical trips and procedures of lab tests over days. To eliminate this time lag provide real-time monitoring a wound's progress, we have designed an enzymatic biosensor for determining uric acid (UA) in wound fluid. Uric Acid is biomarker, having established correlation with wounds their healing. This electrochemical comprises enzyme urate oxidase (uricase, UOx) entrapped polyvinyl alcohol based cationic polymer enhanced stability. Results show that the...
Multiple Sclerosis (MS) is a chronic autoimmune disease that presents with wide variety of sensory and motor deficiencies. New medications targeting B cells have been approved to treat MS, but the side effect profile has not widely explored. Herein, we report case drug-induced psoriasiform dermatitis following ocrelizumab treatment. Physicians should be cognizant this possible in patients receiving treatment for MS.
Background: Despite the development of numerous wound treatment alternatives, 25% to 50% leg ulcers and >30% foot are not fully healed after 6 months treatment. Autologous skin grafting is a time-tested therapy for these wounds; however, creation new in donor area yields considerable limitation this procedure. Innovation: Fractional autologous full-thickness (FFTSG) technique wherein multiple small grafts (FTSGs) harvested with possibly minor donor-site comorbidities. The first device used...
Wound area measurements provide an objective assessment of wound healing; however, most commonly used measurement techniques are imprecise.A new portable 3-dimensional (3D) device was tested against laser- and hand-measurement methods.A retrospective comparative analysis conducted to analyze the difference in using records patients seen at University Miami Hospital (Miami, FL) outpatient healing clinic between November 2017 February 2018 who had wounds various etiologies measured 3 different...
Abstract Background Dermatology consultations in the inpatient hospital setting can improve diagnostic accuracy and management. Objective Characterize dermatologic treatment trends identify variables that may affect patient care. Methods Retrospective chart review from 1 January 2012 to 31 December 2017 at Jackson Memorial Hospital (JMH) (Miami, Florida, USA), an academic non‐profit tertiary care centre affiliated with University of Miami Miller School Medicine, was performed. Patients who...
Crohn's disease is difficult to manage and often requires multiple medications.While these drugs vastly improve quality of life, physicians must monitor for adverse events.We report a case flare inverse psoriasis after 15 months treatment with ustekinumab.This the third reported drug-induced ustekinumab, it first an presentation; however, clinical picture confounded by concomitant use hydroxychloroquine.Inverse rare variant which be cognizant while treating patients disease.
Psoriasis is associated with multiple comorbidities. In this retrospective cohort analysis, we compared the comorbidities in patients who received biologic treatments those conventional treatments. Our data indicates that biologics may be lower rates of comparison to therapy. J Drugs Dermatol. 2023;22(5): doi:10.36849/JDD.7119.
Benign melanocytic neoplasms present with a diverse array of well-known histopathologic patterns. It is imperative to recognize the benign patterns render accurate diagnoses. We describe here an interesting and hitherto not described low-power architectural pattern lesion: eccrine-centric nevus. The patient was 50-year-old African American woman who noticed new mole on her foot that began as dark speck but quickly grew larger. lesion excised exclude possibility melanoma. Upon review...
Abstract Venous leg ulcers (VLU) comprise about 70% of lower wounds and cost more than 14 billion USD per year. Patients with VLU are often admitted to the hospital; however, epidemiological study this important patient subset is challenged by lack validated database search protocol. Five International Classification Diseases (ICD) 9 codes were identified for their relationship VLUs (454.0, 454.2, 459.11, 707.9, 707.10). The ICD9 code was considered successfully predict a if wound located in...
A 50-year-old diabetic woman developed multiple abscesses after daily injections of subcutaneous regular human insulin. Initial cultures from the draining fluid revealed no organisms, and patient was unresponsive to courses antibiotics including doxycycline, amoxicillin/clavulanic acid, intravenous vancomycin piperacillin/tazobactam. After consulting dermatology, underwent punch biopsy tissue culture. The culture grew mycobacterium fortuitum 22 days incubation. diagnosed with non-tuberculous...
