Non‐invasive, biomedical devices have the potential to provide important, quantitative data for assessment of skin diseases and wound healing. Traditional methods either rely on qualitative visual tactile judgments a professional and/or obtained using instrumentation with forms that do not readily allow intimate integration sensitive near site. Here, an electronic sensor platform can softly reversibly laminate perilesionally at wounds highly accurate, relevance management surgical healing is...
Individuals with severe spinal cord injury control a computer and powered wheelchair by using wireless tongue-operated assistive technology called the Tongue Drive System.
Case reports describe persistent erectile dysfunction (PED) associated with exposure to 5α-reductase inhibitors (5α-RIs). Clinical trial and the manufacturers' full prescribing information (FPI) for finasteride dutasteride state that risk of sexual adverse effects is not increased by longer duration 5α-RI 5α-RIs resolve in men who discontinue exposure.Our chief objective was assess whether increases PED, independent age other known factors. Men shorter served as a comparison control group...
ABSTRACT: Skin-targeted ultrasound is a noninvasive technique that has been extensively used to evaluate age-related dermal changes, and the presence of subepidermal low-echogenic band (SLEB) related chronic UVR exposure in several studies. Since SLEB echogenicity photoage-related, aim this study was evaluate, through imaging, effects on skin photoaging mesotherapy, treatment approach currently cosmetic dermatology for rejuvenation. Twenty women (mean age: 46.7 range 40–60 years) with...
The incidences of life-threatening toxicities such as Stevens-Johnson syndrome (SJS) and toxic epidermal necrolysis (TEN) are inconsistently reported. potential association anticancer agents with SJS or TEN has not been systematically investigated. We searched the literature (Ovid: 1950 to June 2013 PubMed: 1948 2013) using terms for SJS/TEN therapies. Primary case reports, series, clinical trials were included. In addition, MedWatch, Food Drug Administration Adverse Event Reporting System...
Evaluation of large-scale data sets is needed to better understand the epidemiology, cost, and burden atopic dermatitis (AD). We sought validate use ICD-9-CM codes for identifying AD.Patients from a large metropolitan quaternary care medical center with diagnostic code either 691.8 (AD) or 692.9 (eczema contact dermatitis) were queried. Medical records reviewed demographics, Hanifin & Rajka (H&R) United Kingdom Working Party (UKWP) criteria. Sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive...
Pemphigus is a group of debilitating autoimmune blistering disorders associated with painful blisters the skin and/or mucous membranes. Identification and management comorbiditiesof pemphigus critically important to minimize morbidity decrease mortality.To identify comorbid health conditions vulgaris.This was case-control study 130 cases verified by clinical laboratory diagnosis 390 age sex-matched controls complete follow-up at large metropolitanquaternary care medical center.Pemphigus...
Tongue-Drive System (TDS) is a wireless and wearable assistive technology that enables people with severe disabilities to control their computers, wheelchairs, smartphones using voluntary tongue motion. To evaluate the efficacy of TDS, several experiments were conducted, in which performance nine able-bodied (AB) participants mouse, keypad, as well cohort 11 tetraplegia (TP) observed compared. Experiments included Fitts' law tapping, wheelchair driving, phone-dialing, weight-shifting tasks...
Tumour necrosis factor-α inhibitors (TNFαIs) are used for treatment of inflammatory disorders. There is evidence linking these agents with occurrence malignancies. For four out five TNFαIs the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) label states, 'melanoma has been reported in patients treated agents'.To determine whether a statistically significant association exists between administration development malignant melanoma.We searched FDA Adverse Event Reporting System (FAERS) database terms...
The necessity of serum potassium monitoring for healthy women who are prescribed spironolactone acne has been debated. aim this study was to compare the incidence hyperkalemia in 18 45 years age that 46 65 age, when treated with oral acne. Data all were by a dermatologist between January 2006 and October 2016 extracted analysis. Retrospective data included exhibited baseline within normal limits had repeat 12 months after initiation spironolactone. rate incident determined. Of 618 received...
Human epidermal growth factor receptor (HER) 1 and HER 1/2 inhibitors have shown benefit against a wide range of solid tumors. However, their use is associated with rash in 40% to 90% patients, which impacts quality life interrupts antineoplastic therapy. The pathologic characteristics affected skin remain unclear, precluding development rational therapies. aim this study was evaluate differences histologic immunohistochemical alterations caused by lapatinib, dual HER1/2 inhibitor (HER1/2i),...
To compare and contrast three databases, that is, The International Centre for Nephrogenic Systemic Fibrosis Registry (ICNSFR), the Food Drug Administration Adverse Event Reporting System (FAERS) a legal data set, through pharmacovigilance to evaluate international nephrogenic systemic fibrosis (NSF) safety efforts.The Research on events And Reports methodology was used assessment-the FAERS (through June 2009), ICNSFR set (January 2002 December 2010). Safety information obtained from...
The Tongue Drive System (TDS) is a minimally invasive, wireless, and wearable assistive technology (AT) that enables people with severe disabilities to control their environments using tongue motion. TDS translates specific gestures into commands by sensing the magnetic field created small tracer applied user's tongue. We have previously quantitatively evaluated for accessing computers powered wheelchairs, demonstrating its usability. In this study, we focused on qualitative evaluation...
