Spectacle frame induced chemical leucoderma: A case report
Authors
Abstract:
Chemical leucoderma is an acquired hypopigmented dermatosis caused by repeated exposure to specific chemical compounds, notably the aromatic or aliphatic derivatives of phenols andcatechols which are commonly present in the rubber and plastic materials. Herein, we report a case of chemical leucoderma in a 55-year-old male, appearing bilaterally over the retroauricular areas, which appeared after of the use of a new spectacle frame by the patient. The patch test results with Indian Standard Series and Cosmetic Series were negative. Chemical leucoderma following the use of materials like hair dyes, and rubber shoes or gloves is common but only a few cases of leucoderma with spectacles have been reported in the literature to date.

Secondary syphilis presenting as leucoderma syphiliticum: case report and review
Leucoderma syphiliticum (LS), originally described as syphilide pigmentaire, encompasses a spectrum of dyschromic lesions that emerge during the course of secondary syphilis. Very few case reports are available in modern biomedical databases. We present the case of a 57-year-old HIV-infected male patient who presented with several round to oval, non-scaling, slightly raised and well-demarcated ...

By Assistant Surgeon A. "Wood, M.D. Reading somewhere, a short time ago, an article on the diagnosis between white leprosy and leucoderma, which then greatly interested me, I was soon afterwards gratified by having to treat a case of the latter, so well marked, as perhaps to justify my offering a few remarks thereon, in the hope that they may prove as acceptable to others, as the actual observa...

This is a case report of acute myopia following topiramate administration. There are several reports of this side effect recently and fortunately all of them were reversible. In our case we tried again topiramate with very low dose and increase it very slowly, the patient was followed and she tolerated it well and didnt find ocular problem anymore. So it could be suggested that starting with lo...

Sulphur Mustard is a potent chemical warfare agent that was widely used during first world war and Iran Iraq conflict. Over 100,000 Iranians were injured by sulphur mustard and one-third is of them were suffering from late effects until today. This vesicant agent has a lot of acute and chronic destructive effects on the skin, eye and respiratory system. Sulphur mustard via the alkylations of s...
full textMechanical design of a power-adjustable spectacle lens frame.
Power-adjustable spectacle lenses, based on the Alvarez-Lohmann principle, can be used to provide affordable spectacles for subjective refractive errors measurement and its correction. A new mechanical frame has been designed to maximize the advantages of this technology. The design includes a mechanism to match the interpupillary distance with that of the optical centers of the lenses. The fra...

The mouse model has been widely employed to explore the mysteries of myopia. For now, existing techniques for induction of experimental myopia in mice can be classified into three types: (1) devices directly glued to the fur; (2) devices attached using a combination of glue and sutures; (3) devices attached using a skull-mounted apparatus. These techniques each have its advantages, disadvantage...
