  • Skin As a Mirror of Gastrointestinal Diseases
    Review article Skin as a mirror of gastrointestinal diseases Sunil Kumar Gupta1, Amanjot Kaur Arora1, Jasveen Kaur1, Veenu Gupta2, Deepinder Kaur2 Department of Dermatology, Venerology and Leprology1, Department of Microbiology2, Dayanand Medical College and Hospital, Ludhiana, Punjab, India ABSTRACT The closely related origins of the skin and the gastrointestinal system make for a fascinating grouping of diseases with concomitant involvement of these two important organ systems. The dermatologic manifestations may precede clinically evident gastrointestinal disease and help in early diagnosis, saving unnecessary wastage of time and resources. In this overview, we review the cutaneous manifestations of various hereditary, neoplastic and inflammatory gastrointestinal diseases including the various polyposis syndromes, hereditary colorectal cancers, inflammatory bowel diseases, etc. Dermatologic manifestations of acute and chronic hepatic and pancreatic diseases have also been discussed. This review underscores the importance of collaboration between dermatologists and gastroenterologists for better and efficient management of the affected patients.

  • Wound Classification
    Wound Classification Presented by Dr. Karen Zulkowski, D.N.S., RN Montana State University Welcome! Thank you for joining this webinar about how to assess and measure a wound. 2 A Little About Myself… • Associate professor at Montana State University • Executive editor of the Journal of the World Council of Enterstomal Therapists (JWCET) and WCET International Ostomy Guidelines (2014) • Editorial board member of Ostomy Wound Management and Advances in Skin and Wound Care • Legal consultant • Former NPUAP board member 3 Today We Will Talk About • How to assess a wound • How to measure a wound Please make a note of your questions. Your Quality Improvement (QI) Specialists will follow up with you after this webinar to address them. 4 Assessing and Measuring Wounds • You completed a skin assessment and found a wound. • Now you need to determine what type of wound you found. • If it is a pressure ulcer, you need to determine the stage. 5 Assessing and Measuring Wounds This is important because— • Each type of wound has a different etiology. • Treatment may be very different. However— • Not all wounds are clear cut. • The cause may be multifactoral. 6 Types of Wounds • Vascular (arterial, venous, and mixed) • Neuropathic (diabetic) • Moisture-associated dermatitis • Skin tear • Pressure ulcer 7 Mixed Etiologies Many wounds have mixed etiologies. • There may be both venous and arterial insufficiency. • There may be diabetes and pressure characteristics. 8 Moisture-Associated Skin Damage • Also called perineal dermatitis, diaper rash, incontinence-associated dermatitis (often confused with pressure ulcers) • An inflammation of the skin in the perineal area, on and between the buttocks, into the skin folds, and down the inner thighs • Scaling of the skin with papule and vesicle formation: – These may open, with “weeping” of the skin, which exacerbates skin damage.

  • Angina Bullosa Haemorrhagica (Oral Blood Blister) (PDF)
    Patient Information Maxillo-facial Angina Bullosa Haemorrhagica (Oral Blood Blister) What is Angina Bullosa Haemorrhagica? Angina Bullosa Hemorrhagica (ABH) is a condition where an often painful, but benign blood-filled blister suddenly develops in the mouth. The blisters are generally not due to a blood clotting disorder or any other medical disorder. It is a fairly common, sudden onset and benign blood blistering oral (mouth) disorder. It mainly affects people over 45 years and both males and females are equally affected. Usually there is no family history of the condition. It may be associated with Type 2 Diabetes, a family history of diabetes or Hyperglycaemia. What are the signs and symptoms of ABH? The first indication is a stinging pain or burning sensation just before the appearance of a blood blister The blisters last only a few minutes and then spontaneously rupture (burst), leaving a shallow ulcer that heals without scarring, discomfort or pain They can reach an average size of one to three centimetres in diameter The Soft Palate (back of the mouth) is the most affected site If they occur on the palate and are relatively big, they may need to be de-roofed (cut and drained) to ease the sensation of choking Patient Information Occasionally blisters can occur in the buccal mucosa (cheek) and tongue Approximately one third of the patients have blood blisters in more than one location. What are the causes of ABH? More than 50% of cases are related to minor trauma caused by: hot foods, restorative dentistry (fillings, crowns etc) or Periodontal Therapy (treatment of gum disease).

  • Pressure Ulcers By: Esther Hattler BS,RN,WCC
    Pressure Ulcers By: Esther Hattler BS,RN,WCC Staging Objectives The attendee will be able to list the 6 stages of pressure ulcers. Stage I Definition Intact skin with non-blanchable redness of a localized area usually over a bony prominence. Darkly pigmented skin may not have visible blanching. Its color may differ from surrounding area. Description Stage I The area may be painful, firm, soft, warmer or cooler as compared to adjacent tissue. Stage I may be difficult to detect in individuals with dark skin tones. May indicate “at risk” persons (a heralding sign of risk). Pictures stage I Stage II Definition Partial thickness loss of dermis presenting as a shallow open ulcer with a red/pink wound bed, WITHOUT slough. May also present as an intact or open ruptured serum filled blister. Description stage II Presents as a shiny or dry shallow ulcer WITHOUT slough or bruising. The stage II should NOT be used to describe skin tears, tape burns, perineal dermatitis, maceration or excoriation. Pictures stage II Stage II Stage III Definition Full thickness tissue loss. Subcutaneous fat may be visible but bone, tendon, or muscle are not exposed. Slough may be present but does not obscure the depth of tissue loss. May include undermining and tunneling. Description stage III The depth of a a stage III pressure ulcer varies by anatomical location. The bridge of the nose, ear, occiput and malleolus do not have subcutaneous tissue and stage III ulcers can be shallow. In contrast, areas of significant adiposity can develop extremely deep stage III pressure ulcers.

  • Pink-To-Red Coral: a Guide to Determining Origin of Color
    PINK-TO-RED CORAL: AGUIDE TO DETERMINING ORIGIN OF COLOR Christopher P. Smith, Shane F. McClure, Sally Eaton-Magaña, and David M. Kondo Pink-to-red coral has a long history as an ornamental gem material in jewelry, carvings, and sculptures. However, due to a variety of environmental and legal factors, the supply of high- quality, natural-color coral in this color range has dramatically decreased in recent years— and the quantity of dyed coral on the market has increased. From a study of more than 1,000 natural- and treated-color samples, this article summarizes the procedures that are useful to identify the color origin of pink-to-red coral. A variety of techniques—including magnifica- tion, exposure to acetone, and Raman analysis—can determine if the color of a piece of such coral is dyed. Although there are limitations to the use of magnification and acetone, Raman analysis can establish conclusively that the color is natural. oral is an organic gem material that has been This limitation has led to the practice of dyeing used for ornamental purposes (figure 1) for pale-colored and white coral into the more highly C several thousand years (see, e.g., Walton, valued shades of pink to red.

NUMBER 2 2 II MARCH I 7, I 965 Descriptions of Three New Species of the Bee Genus Calliopsis (Hymenoptera, Andrenidae) BY ALVIN F. SHINN1 The species below are described at the present time to make their names available for use in connection with biological studies recently completed on them. The species are closely related and belong in a group with Calliopsis coloradensis Cresson, C. chlorops Cockerell, and C. coloratipes Cockerell. Evidence for interspecific mating in the group is given. The presence of all three new species, as well as others in their group, at the Southwestern Research Station of the American Museum of Natural History offers an unparalleled opportunity for the study of ecological differentiation in these closely related Calliopsis bees. I wish to thank the following collectors and museum curators who have lent so generously of their own specimens or of specimens in their care which have been used in this study: Dr. G. E.
