摘要:

SummaryClothing represents a significant though underutilised form of sun protection but the literature reveals few studies dealing with this subject. This study used a solar simulator to assess in vivo sun protection factors (SPF) for two clothing items of beachwear ‐ a synthetic surf shirt and a combination cotton/polyester T‐shirt. The tests showed that the T‐shirt had a relative SPF of 15, and the surf shirt an SPF of 36. This however decreased by a factor of 1/3 in both cases when the material was wet. Overall, this compares favourably with conventional sunscreens and also has the advantage of a wide spectrum of

摘要:

SummaryAnorexia Nervosa (A.N.) is a relatively common eating disorder with well recognized psychological and physiological features. A study of 14 female patients with A.N. revealed a number of dermatological disorders, including lanugo hair, xeroderma and hyperpigmentation.Laboratory investigations revealed various abnormalities including elevated Beta‐carotene levels, abnormal sex hormone and thyroid function. An unusual finding was the development of acne in a small subset of patients at the time of weight gain, during recovery from A.N.Anorexia Nervosa represents a useful model for the interaction between eating disorders, endocrine function and the ski

摘要:

SummaryA survey of 40 patients with long‐standing atopic eczema was carried out to test for the presence of certain psychological traits which had been reported in studies in earlier decades. A series of standardised personality tests was administered to these patients and the results compared with the findings for a normal group for each test. It was demonstrated that atopic eczema patients do have significantly high levels of anxiety and problems in dealing with anger and hostility. Whether such findings make any contribution to understanding the aetiology of this disorder is debatable, but they do have implications for treatment and management, and some of these are discusse

摘要:

SummaryOne hundred and sixty nine men with early male pattern baldness (androgenic alopecia) were treated in a random, double‐blind fashion with either 2% minoxidil solution or placebo vehicle for 24 weeks, one ml applied twice daily. After 24 weeks all patients received the active solution until week 48. After 24 weeks the minoxidil treated patients had increased their non‐vellus hair counts significantly more than the placebo treated group; means were 37.6 and 8.8 hairs per reference area, 95% C.I. for difference = 10.85 to 60.75. The rate of non‐vellus hair regrowth was also greater among minoxidil treated patients than placebo treated patients. Nine (12.5%) evaluable minoxidil treated patients compared with 2 (2.7%) evaluable placebo treated patients reported moderate or dense hair regrowth at week 24. Minimal regrowth was reported by 18 (25%) active group and 15 (20%) placebo group patients. The investigators considered that 3 (2%) of the minoxidil group and none of the placebo group had moderate hair regrowth and that none had dense regrowth. After 48 weeks treatment 28 (23%) patients considered that they had moderate hair regrowth and the investigators considered that 14 (12%) patients had moderate regrowth. None had dense growth. No serious adverse reactions or deaths were reported. Minoxidil solution appeared to be an efficaceous and safe treatment for early androgenic alo

摘要:

SummaryA case of Vibrio vulnificus septicaemia complicated by cutaneous leg ulceration is described. A 74 year old man with haemochromatosis and sideroblastic anaemia developed an acute febrile illness with cutaneous manifestations 24 hours after ingesting raw oysters. The presence of blistering should be considered an important clue to the diagnosis of Vibrio vulnificus septicaemia, and this can facilitate prompt effective antimicrobial therapy. Clinicians should be aware of this infection because of its high case fatality rate, especially in patients with iron overload states.

摘要:

SummaryActinomycetomas are localised, chronic, suppurative and progressive infections of the skin, subcutaneous tissues and bones caused by aerobic actinomycetes. They are characterised by subcutaneous granulomas and abscesses with in duration, formation of sinus tracts and production of granules which are the microcolonies of the causative agents.
