human echinococcosis remains a complex problem that affects several organs. hydatid disease mainly (85%) affects liver as well as lung, and 10% the rest of the body. renal involvement is about 2% while skin hydatidosis is nearly 1%. coincidental involvement of kidney and skin is very rare. we report a 51 year-old female patient with renal and skin (chest wall) hydatid lesions that were excised ...

human brucellosis is common in developing countries and is a multi-system disease with a broad spectrum of clinical manifestations. cutaneous lesions associated with brucellosis have been rarely reported in the literature. here we present a case of a 32-year-old man with history of consumption of cheese made from raw milk seen with occurrence of pancytopenia and diffuse maculopapular rash durin...

rhinosporidiosis is a granulomatous disorder caused by rhinosporidium seeberi, an aquatic parasite. it spreads through contaminated water and soil. it frequently involves the nasal cavity and nasopharynx. disseminated or systemic lesions are rare. a 56 year old man presented with multiple tumor like lesions all over the body in our cancer institute in april 2012. fine needle aspiration cytology...

background split- thickness skin graft is one of the most common operations in plastic surgery. it is always painful and patient discomfort from donor site often is more significant than recipient site. there is not still a standard method for treatment of the donor site. the purpose of this study was to determine the best method of dressing the donor site among three different methods with res...

background: this study was designed to investigate the efficacy of pentoxifylline (ptx) in the treatment of irradiated wounds. materials and methods: ten female pigs of the large white strain were used in these investigations. six skin fields, 4 * 4 cm and separated from each other by 4 cm, were marked out on each flank and those on left flank were irradiated with 18gy single dose of 250 kv x-r...

normal skin is composed of epidermis and dermis. skin is susceptible to radiation damage because it is a continuously renewing organ containing rapidly proliferating mature cells. radiation burn is a damage to the skin or other biological tissues caused by exposure to radiofrequency energy or ionizing radiation. acute skin reaction is the most frequently occurring side effect of radiation thera...

the genus malasezia currently includes fourteen species that have been isolated from healthy and diseased human and animal skin. however, there were differences with respect to the species most commonly isolated, not only in patients with various skin diseases but also between healthy individuals. the aim of this study was to analyze the prevalence of malassezia species from clinically normal s...

Improving drug permeability in skin is considered as one of the most important issues for designing new methods of transdermal drug delivery. Consequently, many techniques have been proposed to more effectively deliver drugs across the stratum corneum, including chemical enhancers or physical enhancer techniques, e.g., iontophoresis and ultrasound. Standard hypodermic injection is an effective ...
