The ability to focus high amplitude ultrasound onto human skin and elicit a tactile sensation in mid-air poses number of scientific opportunities challenges. For example, common issue with haptics is the relatively low forces generated on user’s skin, thus limiting dynamic range vibrotactile sensations that can be induced. To end, we develop viscoelastic rheological finite element model apply i...

No other organ in the human body has as many functions skin: biological, cultural, social and psychological. The skin is a multi-layered structure, cutaneous paper which covers our maintains physical psychological integrity. Origami - from oru, “to fold”, kami, “paper” japanese art of folding. Skin are similar several respects: polygonal network, basic folds, pleat folding, shapes common histor...

background non-melanoma skin cancers (nmsc) are the most common cancers worldwide. these cancers are not accompanied by high mortality however they lead to various complications. evaluation of nmsc predisposing factors could result in preventive measures, improvement of quality of life and reduction of medical costs. objectives this study aimed to determine predisposing factors of non-melanoma ...

abstract: plasma cellmyeloma constitutes about 10% of all  hematologicmalignancies. metastatic cutaneous lesions without underlying bony involvement are rare and associated with advanced disease, poor prognosis and high tumor burden. igg is the most common subtype and igd is believed to have a more aggressive course.######

the purpose of this study was to investigate the incidence of different types of skin diseases among 657 children who were seen during one year period (oct. 1971-setp. 1972) at the skin clinics of the isfahan university hospital. the incidence of different types of skin disease was compared with those of the adults. in general this study shows that in isfahan area the incidence of skin infectio...

conclusions several adverse effects are associated to anti-hcv drugs, hence appropriate skin care management and follow-up are very important. a careful anamnesis before the initiation of triple therapy is necessary to identify previous dermatological diseases that could increase skin adverse effects incidence. case presentation we report a case of a patient who discontinued telaprevir because ...

age related skin disorders due to structural and functional changes in the skin of the elderly may increase health care costs. as a result of an increase in the number of aging population in iran, provision of dermatology services to the elderly group due to the limitation of resources and the high cost of those services will be a challenge for the health care system. moreover, by increasing th...

Recent work establishes that ultrathin, stretchable sensors can enable high precision thermal characterization of the skin, with capabilities for spatial mapping, in forms that avoid irritation, thermal or mechanical loads on natural behaviors, or motion artifacts. The results have potential for use in cardiovascular screening, skin hydration sensing, and local skin heating and thermal therapy....

Transdermal drug delivery using microneedles (MNs) depends on the rate of drug transport through the viable epidermis. Therefore, minimising the distance between the drug-loaded surface and the microcirculation in the dermis where the drug is absorbed into the body is significant in improving drug delivery efficiency. A quantifiable relationship between MN design parameters and skin diffusion p...
