BACKGROUND: Phototherapy consists of exposure to ultraviolet radiation for therapeutic reasons. Radiation is already used in dermatological practice, and many studies have already proved the beneficial effect of UV light treatment for chronic inflammatory or lymphoproliferative skin diseases. The Dermatology Service of the Clinics Hospital of Porto Alegre (Hospital de Clínicas de Porto Alegre) has been using phototherapy for a long time, and no official data have been described so far. OBJECTIVES: To study the prevalence of dermatoses referred to the phototherapy unit at the Clinics Hospital of Porto Alegre and describe the total number of patients who have already been referred to this sector and their phototype. METHODS: This is a descriptive cross-sectional study. Data were collected through a review of the phototherapy patients' records (secondary data), which are available on a database of the Dermatology Service of the Clinics Hospital of Porto Alegre, from August 1997 to July 2011. RESULTS: A total of 653 records were analyzed. Phototype 3 was the most prevalent (n=313). Distribution of the prevalence of dermatoses referred to the phototherapy unit was as follows: vitiligo (279), psoriasis (255), cutaneous T-cell lymphoma/mycosis fungoides (29), graftversus-host disease (15), scleroderma (11), atopic dermatitis (10), alopecia areata (6), parapsoriasis (5), eczema (4), granuloma annulare (4), and others (35). As vitiligo and psoriasis were the two most prevalent dermatoses, they were analyzed separately, with no statistical difference in prevalence between them (P=0,177). CONCLUSIONS: Our findings are in accordance with the literature, showing that although phototherapy is still mostly indicated to treat psoriasis, it has been used to treat other dermatoses, since the results are promising.

Severe Shock

A large series of dogs, subjected to severe muscle trauma, has been studied. Eighty-four per cent died or would have died of shock within 24 hr. had they not been treated with a blood substitute. Of these about half developed severe shock in less than five hours. A few, 3.7% of the series, died between 24 and 80 hr., and 12.3% were considered indefinite survivors either being well when killed at 24 hr. or appearing well at the end of three days after trauma.Repeated observations made on the blood pressure and heart rate made it possible to predict death some time in advance in a great majority of cases. Haemoconcentration, as evidenced by an increase in the volume of packed red blood cells, occurred in the majority of the animals. This is ascribed partly to the fact that the fluid loss into the damaged tissues was principally plasma rather than whole blood, and partly to the fact that the animals were not deeply anaesthetized for a long time and consequently reflex splenic contraction added cells to the circulation. The blood sugar in dogs dying within three hours of trauma was normal or elevated. In dogs dying later it was often low. In those in which life was prolonged a few hours by a blood substitute the terminal value was very low. In many dogs in which life was prolonged beyond 24 hr. the blood sugar values slightly before death were within normal limits.The significance of these findings is discussed.

Since 1880 more than forty publications have been registered in Madras as “Saurāshtranā, the language noticed but not described under the name Paṭṇūlī in the Linguistic Survey of India, vol. vs., 2, pp. 447–8. It is spoken by more than a hundred thousand persons who play an important part in the textile industry of Madras and form a considerable element in the population of Madura and of other towns and localities in the Tamil districts. The great majority of them (89,000 out of 104,000) speak Tamil as a second language. Thurston's Castes and Tribes of South India, vol. vi (1909), gives an account of them in the article “Patnūlkārans”, and for the present purpose it is only necessary to say that according to their own tradition their original home was Surāṣṭra. In A.D. 437–8, as is recorded by a Mandasor inscription, the guild of silk-weavers who had migrated to Mandasor from Lāṭa-viṣaya erected a temple to the Sun (paṭṭavāyir udāraṃ ṥreēṇībhītair bhavanam atulaṃ kāritam), which they repaired in A.D. 473–4, the date of the inscription. It is a reasonable conjecture that they were ancestors of the present Saurāshtrans of South India. The inscription presents them as a self-contained community, in which learning and the martial arts as well as industrial skill were represented, and it may well be that Vatsabhaṭṭi, who composed the epigraphic poem, was himself a member of the ṥrēṇi. They may be supposed to have resided in Mandasor for a time. But long before the place was captured by the Muhammadans in the early fourteenth century the modern Saurāshtrans according to the tradition migrated to the Yādava capital Dēvagiri (Daulatābād). Subsequent migrations led them first to Vijayanagar, and finally into the Tamil country which is now their home. This account of their migrations is said to be preserved in a set form of words used in their marriage ceremonies. That they must have come under Telugu influence is plain from the considerable Telugu element in certain publications. The language which they brought from Lāṭa or Surāṣṭra may therefore have come successively under the influence, first and for a very long time, of Rājasthān forms of speech, and then of Marathi, Telugu and Tamil.

The Relationship

Introduction. For a long time, HIV has been associated with a number of inflammatory, infectious and neoplastic skin diseases. In the era of anti-retroviral therapy researchers have found even more about the relationship between skin disease and chronic immunosuppression. In particular, clinicians continue to face the trend of difficult-to-control viral infections, chronic skin inflammation and itching in people living with HIV. Objectives. This article summarizes the latest updates in immunology, dermatology and HIV, revealing potential of the prospective substance melatonin and its efficacy in treating herpesvirus skin diseases as an alternative immunomodulator. Materials and methods. A comprehensive literature search was carried out in July 2020 using electronic databases PubMed, EMBASE, MEDLINE, U.S. National Library of Medicine Clinical Trials, ResearchGate, and Cocharane Library. Results. This review includes 24 articles, that demonstrated the modulating properties of melatonin and have established its effectiveness in the treatment of diseases associated with immunodeficiency conditions. Melatonin has been shown to have a regulatory effect on the immune system and directly enhance the immune response by improving the proliferation and maturation of natural killers, T and B lymphocytes, granulocytes and monocytes, and activates complement receptors. Conclusions. Currently, the course of dermatological manifestations associated with herpes viruses, unfortunately, remains unfavorable and persists with high mortality coefficients, so the development of new approaches to the provision of medical care to HIV-infected patients is still relevant. Recent scientific studies indicate the high effectiveness of melatonin in the treatment of diseases accompanied by immunodeficiency. Researching of its effects in the dermatological manifestations of herpesvirus infections on the background of HIV is prospective and necessary for expand drug provision, treating comorbid conditions and improving the quality of life of each patient.

Microsporia is one of the most common skin diseases of cats, most often provoked by the pathogen Microsporum canis. The pathogen of microsporium has highly contagious properties and for a long time remains capable of infection in the environment.  It is important for the veterinary doctor not only to carry out complex therapy, but also to prevent the spread of the pathogen in the environment and to prevent the occurrence of secondary pyoderma during the course of microspores. Due to the tendency to the growth of fungal diseases, the development of the pathogen’s resistance existing medicines, there is a need for effective antifungal medicines that have fungicide and fungicidal effect. The development of the antifungal agent “Micromar” will allow to carry out complex treatments for the treatment of microspores in cats. Also, thanks to the properties of basic active ingredient? Th use of “Micromar” will provide acceleration of recovery period.  The combination of clotrimazole and povidone iodine will provide an effective antifungal action with an antiseptic effect. Clotrimazole is a broad-spectrum antifungal agent that does not cause pathogen resistance. In turn, povidone iodine will provide antiseptic protection to the affected area of the cat's body with a prolonged effect. The studies were conducted to determine the concentration of clotrimazole and povidone iodine as the main active substances of the antifungal agent “Micromar” in the laboratory in nutrient media during the cultivation of the fungus Microsporum sanis. The results of the studies showed that the pure culture of the pathogen is sensitive to clotrimazole at a concentration of 0.25% and iodine povidone 5%. In appropriate concentrations, it is recommended to use clotrimazole and povidone iodine for the manufacture of the antifungal agent Micromar.

Abstract Objective: to know the prevalence of depression in patients with moderate-severe acne vulgaris. Hypothesis: the incidence of depression increases in patients with moderate-severe acne vulgaris and will therefore decrease the quality of life. Background: acne is a very frequent dermatosis in the outpatient clinic, it is not considered a life-threatening disease. It has been associated with negative emotional status. Also, suffering from it for a long time has been associated with depression, anxiety and frustration. The complications of acne in the psychosocial aspect are related to academic or vocational performance, self-esteem and adolescents’ quality of life. Materials and Methods: the type of study was retrospective cross-sectional descriptive observational study. The sampling was carried out at the facilities of the Popular Autonomous University of the State of Puebla, taking into account any person within the institutional organisation within the range of 12-20 years of age, with a total of 50 participants. The Hamilton assessment scale of depression and the Cardiff Acne disability index were applied to all patients with dermatological diagnosis of moderate-severe vulgar acne in a period between February-October 2019. Results: a total of 50patients were analysed, of which 28 were women aged 12 to 20 years and 22 men (28 women and 13 men) and severe acne in 9 patients, all over 17 years of age and male. According to the degree of depression, 28% (n = 14) of the patients were obtained without some degree of depression; 60% (n = 30) with minor depression; 12% (n = 6) with moderate depression. Regarding the quality of life: 40% (n = 20) of the patients showed good quality of life, 46% (n = 23) regular quality of life and 14% (n = 7) showed poor quality of life. Conclusion: orderly study of the psychic impact of acne and other skin diseases on people suffering them is recent and is carried out through questionnaires that try to measure the impact the diseases have on the patients’ quality of life.
