Cutaneous extramedullary plasmacytomas (EMPs) are rare plasma cell neoplasms of the skin occurring in 2-4% of patients with multiple myeloma (MM). We describe a man diagnosed with IgA lambda MM (Stage III) after rapidly enlarging cutaneous nodules developed in the surgical site of recently excised skin malignancies. Cutaneous EMP must be considered for expanding cutaneous nodules at sites of su...

Cutaneous leishmaniasis is caused by different species of the Leishmania genus. Leishmania(Leishmania) infantum, causing cutaneous leishmaniasis, has been described in patients living in areas where visceral leishmaniasis is endemic. In this study, it was possible to characterize this species in seven slides from cutaneous tissue imprints from patients with cutaneous leishmaniasis in the State ...

Cutaneous haptic feedback can be used to enhance the performance of robotic teleoperation systems while guaranteeing their safety. Delivering ungrounded cutaneous cues to the human operator conveys in fact information about the forces exerted at the slave side and does not affect the stability of the control loop. In this work we analyze the feasibility, effectiveness, and implications of provi...
