- [Risk factors associated with leg erysipelas (cellulitis) in sub-Saharan Africa: A multicentre case-control study]. [JOURNAL ARTICLE, ENGLISH ABSTRACT]
- Ann Dermatol Venereol 2015 Sep 9.
- AbstractPublisher Full TextPublisher Full Text
Acute bacterial cellulitis of the leg (erysipelas) is a common problem involving considerable morbidity in dermatology practice in Africa. Previous studies conducted in Europe and North Africa have highlighted lymphoedema and toe-web intertrigo as independent factors associated with leg erysipelas. The aim of this case-control study was to identify risk factors associated with leg erysipelas in sub-Saharan Africa, within a different socio-economic and culture context.We conducted a prospective case-control study in hospital dermatology departments in 8 sub-Saharan African countries over a 12-month period (October 2013 to September 2014). Each case of acute leg cellulitis was matched with 2 controls for age (±5 years) and sex. We analysed the general and local factors.During the study period, 364 cases (223 female, 141 male) were matched with 728 controls. The mean age was 42.15±15.15 years for patients and 42.11±36 years for controls. Multivariate analysis showed the following to be independent risk factors associated with leg erysipelas in our study: obesity (odds ratio [OR]=2.82 ; 95% confidence interval: 2.11-3.76), lymphoedema (OR=3.87, 95%CI: 2.17-6.89), voluntary cosmetic depigmentation (OR=4.29, 95%CI: 2.35-7.83), neglected traumatic wound (OR=37.2, 95%CI: 24.9-57.72) and toe-web intertrigo (OR=37.86, 95%CI: 22.27-64.5).The results of this study confirms the major role of local risk factors (toe-web intertrigo, lymphoedema) previously identified in other geographical settings. However, the originality of our study consists of the identification of voluntary cosmetic depigmentation as a risk factor for leg erysipelas in sub-Saharan Africa.
- Clinical characteristics of patients with lower limb cellulitis and antibiotic usage in Hospital Kuala Lumpur: a 7-year retrospective study. [JOURNAL ARTICLE]
- Int J Dermatol 2015 Aug 14.
- AbstractPublisher Full Text
Cellulitis commonly involved lower limbs. This study was carried out to determine the demography, clinical characteristics, risk factors, microbiological aspects, and antibiotics usage in this group of patients in Hospital Kuala Lumpur.A total of one hundred and twenty four patients with lower limb cellulitis treated in the Department of Dermatology, Hospital Kuala Lumpur, between January 2008 and May 2013 were included in this study.There were 70 male and 54 female patients, aged between 13 and 87 years (mean 57.23±12.854). Thirty-one of them (25%) had recurrent cellulitis. Fifty-seven (46%) had fever at presentation, 55 (44.4%) had bullous cellulitis. The top risk factors identified were toe web intertrigo (n = 79, 63.7%), hypertension (n=76, 61.3%), obesity (n = 55, 44.4%), and diabetes (n = 55, 44.4%). However, only toe web intertrigo (p = 0.003), peripheral vascular disease (p = 0.01), and varicose veins (p = 0.02) were significantly higher in recurrent cellulitis. Thirty patients (24.2%) were complicated with lipodermatosclerosis, and six (4.8%) had lymphostasis verrucosa cutis. Skin swab cultures were positive in 54 (43.5%) patients, and Pseudomonas sp. was the most frequently identified organism. Mean number of antibiotics given for one episode of cellulitis was 1.7±1. The antibiotics most given were cloxacillin (n=57, 46%) and other penicillins (n = 71, 57%), followed by cephalosporins (n = 40, 32%).Identifying clinical characteristics of those at risk may help to prevent recurrence of cellulitis and long-term complications.
- Hyperhidrosis, bromhidrosis, and chromhidrosis: Fold (intertriginous) dermatoses. [Journal Article]
- Clin Dermatol 2015 Jul-Aug; 33(4):483-91.
- AbstractPublisher Full Text
Human sweat glands disorders are common and can have a significant impact on the quality of life and on professional, social, and emotional burdens. It is of paramount importance to diagnose and treat them properly to ensure optimal patient care. Hyperhidrosis is characterized by increased sweat secretion, which can be idiopathic or secondary to other systemic conditions. Numerous therapeutic options have been introduced with variable success. Novel methods with microwave-based and ultrasound devices have been developed and are currently tested in comparison to the conventional approaches. All treatment options for hyperhidrosis require frequent monitoring by a dermatologist for evaluation of the therapeutic progress. Bromhidrosis and chromhidrosis are rare disorders but are still equally disabling as hyperhidrosis. Bromhidrosis occurs secondary to excessive secretion from either apocrine or eccrine glands that become malodorous on bacterial breakdown. The condition is further aggravated by poor hygiene or underlying disorders promoting bacterial overgrowth, including diabetes, intertrigo, erythrasma, and obesity. Chromhidrosis is a rare dermatologic disorder characterized by secretion of colored sweat with a predilection for the axillary area and the face. Treatment is challenging in that the condition usually recurs after discontinuation of therapy and persists until the age-related regression of the sweat glands.
- Diaper (napkin) dermatitis: A fold (intertriginous) dermatosis. [Journal Article]
- Clin Dermatol 2015 Jul-Aug; 33(4):477-82.
- AbstractPublisher Full Text
Diaper (napkin) dermatitis is an acutely presenting inflammatory irritant contact dermatitis of the diaper region. It is one of the most common dermatologic diseases in infants and children. In the past, the disease was thought to be caused by ammonia; however, a number of factors, such as friction, wetness, inappropriate skin care, microorganisms, antibiotics, and nutritional defects, are important. Diaper dermatitis commonly affects the lower parts of the abdomen, thighs, and diaper area. Involvement of skin fold regions is typical with diaper dermatitis. At the early stages of the disease, only dryness is observed in the affected area. At later stages, erythematous maceration and edema can be seen. Secondary candidal and bacterial infections can complicate the dermatitis. In the differential diagnosis of the disease, allergic contact dermatitis, intertrigo, psoriasis, atopic and seborrheic dermatitis, and the other diseases should be considered. Causes of the disease should be determined and eliminated primarily. Families need to be informed about the importance of a clean, dry diaper area and the frequency of diaper changes. The use of superabsorbent disposable diapers has decreased the incidence of the disease. Soap and alcohol-containing products should be avoided in cleaning the area. In some cases, corticosteroids and antifungal agents can be administered. If necessary, antibacterial agents and calcineurin inhibitors can also be beneficial.

- Experience of a year of adult hospital dermatology consultations. [Journal Article]
- Int J Dermatol 2015 Oct; 54(10):1150-6.
- AbstractPublisher Full Text
Dermatology consultations are frequently requested by inpatient hospital services. As inpatient dermatology services in the USA decline, dermatology hospital consultations are becoming increasingly important.We aim to describe the spectrum of skin diseases encountered and the health care subspecialties requesting dermatology hospital consultations.We performed a retrospective chart review of adult patient (age: ≥18 years) dermatology hospital consultations from January 1 to December 31, 2010. We examined patient demographic characteristics, consultation requesting services, and consultation diagnoses.Among dermatology services, 614 patients had 674 separate inpatient dermatology consultations during 2010. Of these patients, 55.9% were male (mean age: 59 years). In total, 205 consultations (30.4%) were requested by the internal medicine subspecialty, 137 (20.3%) by the hematology and oncology subspecialty, and 93 (13.8%) by the surgical subspecialty. The most common conditions seen by the hospital dermatology consulting service were skin infections (n = 125, 18.5%), dermatitis (n = 120, 17.8%), drug eruptions (n = 87, 12.9%), chronic wounds and ulcers (n = 55, 8.1%), cutaneous neoplasms (n = 39, 5.8%), graft-versus-host disease (n = 37, 5.5%), ecchymosis, purpura simplex or petechia (n = 26, 3.8%), intertrigo (n = 21, 3.1%), and urticaria (n = 20, 3.0%).The majority of consultations conducted by the dermatology hospital consulting service were for the management of common skin diseases, such as cutaneous infections, dermatitis, and drug eruptions. Most consultations were requested by the departments of internal medicine, hematology and oncology, and surgical services.

- J Pak Med Assoc 2013 Sep; 63(9):1192-4.
- AbstractAggregator Full Text
Intertrigo (intertriginous dermatitis) is an inflammatory condition of the skin folds, induced or aggravated by heat, moisture, maceration, friction, and lack of air circulation. Intertrigo can become secondarily infected. Three cases of intertrigo are described herein which presented with greenish-blue staining of underclothing. Cultures revealed Pseudomonas aeruginosa which is a gram-negative aerobic bacillus that produces the pigments pyocyanin and pyoverdin that responsible for this characteristic hue. All three patients responded to a course of oral ciprofloxacin with resolution of the intertriginous dermatitis. Therefore, greenish-blue staining of clothing is an important indicator for pseudomonal intertrigo.

Add the gin, bitters and lime juice to a tall glass filled with ice.

Good eye! To be honest, we ran out of Fentiman's Tonic that day and our photographer instead used Fever-Tree, which is another excellent tonic water and will work great in this recipe.
That's not Fentimans Tonic in the picture. It is Fever Tree Premium Indian Tonic Water. You can tell because the label is wrong, the bottle is the wrong color, and the cap is gold with the blue tree logo of the Fever Tree brand.

Did American Idol make history on Thursday?
The top six contestants of season 12, who performed Wednesday night, included five women and one man, Lazaro Arbos.
Arbos, who has a stutter that seems to disappear when he sings, started off strong in the competition. But in recent weeks, the ice cream scooper from Naples, Fla., flubbed his lyrics and struggled to get positive feedback from judges Mariah Carey, Keith Urban, Nicki Minaj and Randy Jackson.
Meanwhile, the women – Kree Harrison, Candice Glover, Amber Holcomb, Angie Miller and Janelle Arthur – were doing well, setting up a unique situation for the show: a possible all-female top five.
Keep reading to find out what happened on elimination night …
Lazaro is going home – and Idol has its first all-female top five! Here's what happened on Thursday night:
Following Candice's show-stopping performance of "Lovesong" and Lazaro's awkward, off-key performance of "Close to You" on Wednesday, the results almost seemed inevitable.
But host Ryan Seacrest played his usual game, splitting up the remaining six contestants into three groups of two. One group contained the top two contestants. Another group was the bottom two. And the third group was in between. But which was which?
Before we got answers, Kelly Clarkson took the stage to sing "People Like Us," a song from her new album. It was a perfect reminder of what it takes to take the American Idol crown, and how successful a winner can be. She received a lot of love from the judges panel, including a sweet hug from Mariah.

CHAMPAIGN, Ill. Fortified with iron: It's not just for breakfast cereal anymore. University of Illinois researchers have demonstrated a simpler method of adding iron to tiny carbon spheres to create catalytic materials that have the potential to remove contaminants from gas or liquid.
Civil and environmental engineering professor Mark Rood, graduate student John Atkinson and their team described their technique in the journal Carbon.
Carbon structures can be a support base for catalysts, such as iron and other metals. Iron is a readily available, low-cost catalyst with possible catalytic applications for fuel cells and environmental applications for adsorbing harmful chemicals, such as arsenic or carbon monoxide. Researchers produce a carbon matrix that has many pores or tunnels, like a sponge. The large surface area created by the pores provides sites to disperse tiny iron particles throughout the matrix.
A common source of carbon is coal. Typically, scientists modify coal-based materials into highly porous activated carbon and then add a catalyst. The multi-step process takes time and enormous amounts of energy. In addition, materials made with coal are plagued by ash, which can contain traces of other metals that interfere with the reactivity of the carbon-based catalyst.
The Illinois team's ash-free, inexpensive process takes its carbon from sugar rather than coal.
In one continuous process, it produces tiny, micrometer-sized spheres of porous, spongy carbon embedded with iron nanoparticles all in the span of a few seconds.
"That's what really sets this apart from other techniques. Some people have carbonized and impregnated with iron, but they have no surface area. Other people have surface area but weren't able to load it with iron," Atkinson said. "Our technique provides both the carbon surface and the iron nanoparticles."
The researchers built upon a technique called ultrasonic sp

Healthy Greene giving big boost to UConn this season
Originally Published: November 24, 2008By Mechelle Voepel | Special to ESPN.com
HARTFORD, Conn. -- Connecticut's Kalana Greene quickly singled out the worst games for her to sit through last season.
They were: At Syracuse on Jan. 15, when the Huskies trailed by as many as nine points before rallying for a victory. At home six days later against North Carolina, when the Tar Heels led by 11 at halftime but eventually lost. Against Rutgers in the Elite Eight, because so much was on the line in such a big rivalry game. And, of course, against Stanford in the Final ...

Guild Wars 2 Micro Transaction Details Announced
A recent announcement from Mike O'Brien, founder of Arena.Net, included details on the micro transaction system for the upcoming MMORPG, Guild Wars 2. We're all familiar with "pay to win" games, titles that require players to spend real cash to advance at a decent speed, or compete with other players. Will Guild Wars 2 follow the same path?
The short answer, no. Mike O'Brien specifically stated that they believe players should be able to purchase items "that help them express themselves" and "provide more visual distinction". They're going to avoid offering overpowered items and the likes, instead they're going to focus on cosmetic equipment and other appearance altering items. Players will also be able to buy the in-game currency, Gold, for the micro transaction currency, Gems, from other players. Arena.Net are trying to reduce the impact of RMT trading and hope this new approach will help towards that goal.

We can hear the Christmas bells jangling already, and on November 17th, Carmichaels Bookstore is hosting a Polar Express Pajama Party. An appearance of none other than Chris Van Allsburg, author and illustrator of The Polar Express will be made.
There will be 22 different local and regional breweries and wineries, each with multiple brews or wines to sample. Think you can try one of everything?
It may be THE artistic event of the season - it's certainly a unique opportunity to see an epic of 20th Century music. The Louisville Orchestra, led by Teddy Abrams, presents Leonard Bernstein's Mass, featuring baritone Jubilant Sykes.
Check out these installation pieces this fall! They'll only be up for a short period of time!

Although the D.C. Council revamped laws protecting government whistleblowers in 2010, Mr. Baumann is still critical of the difficult path those within the police department — including himself — have had to trod.
"To litigate under whistleblower laws will take well over five years and cost well over $500,000," he said, arguing that the process needs to be streamlined further.
Relations between agency heads and labor unions representing the District's largest public-safety agencies — the police and fire departments — have been contentious in recent years.
"And I find that tension troubling," Mr. Mendelson said, adding that he routinely brings together parties representing labor and management for discussions.
"In the end, I can't make parties behave better," he said.
Using the same style of sports metaphor that Mr. Gray has a tendency to invoke, Mr. Lynch pressed that the mayor should take action in Capt. Smith's case.
"He's the coach, and the penalty has been called," Mr. Lynch said. "He's got to do something."

Yeah, I would say the opposite. My experience is they are more likely to get promoted out of their developer job. Someone who knows the application and doesn't mind talking to the customers and can communicate well is fairly rare. Most of the guys on the teams I've been on have no interest in talking to the customers. Most of the guys that don't mind, probably shouldn't.

Malibu Real Estate Crowned America's Priciest
A four-bedroom, two-bath property in the beachside community lists for an average $2.15 million -- and Brian Grazer's selling his five-bedroom Colony spread for $18.95 million.
This story first appeared in the Nov. 15 issue of The Hollywood Reporter magazine.
The country's most expensive residential real estate market? That would be Malibu.
According to the 2013 Coldwell Banker Real Estate Home Listing Report, published Nov. 6, the average listing price for a four-bedroom, two-bath property in the beachside community is $2.15 million. (The most affordable market is Cleveland, where similar homes average $63,729.) In 2012, Malibu didn't even make the survey's top 20, which was led by Silicon Valley's Los Altos.
PHOTOS: Hollywood's Most Expensive Spec Houses
So why the sudden rise? "The consensus is that Malibu has recently become a full-time residence, not just a summer place," says agent Chris Cortazzo, who specializes in the area. "We now have restaurants like Nobu and Mr Chow, and so many offices have moved to places like Santa Monica and Playa del Rey, so it's become a much easier commute for many residents."
The survey, which includes more than 52,000 listings in nearly 2,000 U.S. markets, limits its scope to four-bedroom homes for an apples-to-apples comparison across a multitude of markets, which must have at least 10 such listings in a calendar year to be included (hence the absence of manse-filled areas like Bel Air, where a lack of four-bedroom inventory excluded it from the study).
STORY: Moats: L.A.'s Newest Extreme Real Estate Trend
"Average price," however, doesn't convey the breadth of the market: Last year, Jim Carrey sold his three-bedroom Malibu home for a reported $13.4 million, while Brian Grazer's five-bedroom Colony spread currently is on the market for $18.95 million.

If you want healthy elk populations, the key is more aggressive killing of predators, especially wolves.
At least that's the message from the Rocky Mountain Elk Foundation, which announced last week that it will be putting up $50,000 to help fund efforts to kill more wolves. The money would go to the Montana Department of Fish, Wildlife and Parks to help pay U.S. Wildlife Services, the agency contracted to kill wolves when they get into trouble with livestock.
The foundation also said it would ask for donations for the wolf killing, and the money wouldn't pull from the group's other conservation efforts. But it's just the latest effort to blame wolves, which it turns out can be pretty lucrative as a fundraiser.
And the foundation isn't limiting its ire to wolves.
David Allen, RMEF president, said his group wants fewer black bears, mountain lions, wolves and coyotes. And he said the state needs to look at killing grizzly bears — which remain on the federal Endangered Species List — because they prey on elk calves.
"We can't have all these predators with little aggressive management and expect to have ample game herds and sell hunting tags and generate revenue that supports (the Montana Department of Fish, Wildlife and Parks) nearly
100 percent," Allen told the Missoulian newspaper.
What a sad statement from a once-proud conservation organization. But this isn't Allen's first time joining the predator-bashing chorus.
For several years now he's used terms like "annihilation," "decimation" and "wildlife disaster" when describing elk herds where wolves are found. It's the same rhetoric I've grown accustomed to hearing from kooks on the Internet. The problem is it has no basis in fact — at least according to the elk foundation's 2011 hunting forecast.
Based on state game agency data, it estimated there are nearly 1.2 million elk in North America. That same forecast blasted animal rights activists saying they had "cherry-picked, manipulated and misrepresented" the numbers in an effort to keep wolves on the ESA perpetually. It also said wolves had "decimated" some of the northern Rockies' great herds and for hunters to expect "tough hunting" in those areas.
That contradicts statements the foundation made three years ago, when it issued a press release touting its role over 25 years in helping boost elk herds. Allen stated that "growth in elk populations is one measure of our success." The number of elk in 2009
was 1.03 million across the continent.
I'd say it's speaking out of both sides of your mouth to pat yourself on the back when elk reach 1 million continent-wide and turn around and blast predators for killing too many elk when we have
1.2 million. In Montana, the herd estimate held steady at 150,000 animals from 2009 to 2011.
I'm sure the foundation would say losses to wolves are localized and in some cases severe. Often, the wolf haters point to the elk herd in northern Yellowstone National Park that migrates into Montana near Gardiner as an example of one that's suffered from wolves. It's been reduced from 19,000 animals in 1992 to about 4,100 today.
But that herd was grossly overpopulated. And at more than 4,000 animals, it's still healthy.
Maybe what the foundation wants are the good old days, when hundreds of elk poured out of the park's northern boundary into a firing line of hunters. That wasn't an elk hunt – it was a disgrace.
As anyone who gets out of his or her vehicle and actually hunts knows, Montana has abundant elk. The hunting is a little harder in areas where wolves are. But when isn't elk hunting tough?
The foundation also left out a major source of predation on elk in Montana — the 2003 Legislature. It mandated that FWP reduce numbers and since then we've been pounding elk with second tags, extended seasons and liberal regulations. Where's the outrage about that over predation?
Clearly, the elk foundation's use of predator-hating rhetoric is good for the bottom line.
Last month the group boasted of its "record-high membership" and "strong fiscal performance." The same news release talked about the upcoming predator campaign and said "wolf, bear, lion and coyote populations are well above science-based objectives in many areas."
When asked, the foundation cited itself as a source. Yet I had no idea the group has the staff biologists to count predator populations and authority to set seasons.
And it's not like these species aren't already managed. We've been hunting mountain lions and black bears for years. Coyotes can be shot on sight. And grizzly bears, while doing well, remain under federal protection.
Then there's the hated wolf. We've only hunted this predator two years since its reintroduction. It takes time for wildlife professionals to craft a hunt that meets objectives, especially with a new species. To decry this year's hunt as a failure because we didn't reach the 220 wolf total quota is ridiculous.
Instead of bashing wolves, the foundation should take pride in their recovery. After all, the only reason wolves can live in the northern Rockies is the abundance of prey – including elk – and the foundation has played an important role in those species larger numbers through habitat acquisition and improvement.
In fairness, the foundation isn't the only group to get on the wolf gravy train. Who could forget 2009, when Defenders of Wildlife used images of cute wolf puppies while decrying the "slaughter" of wolves in Montana's first-ever hunt.
But the argument that they did it first doesn't justify exploiting wolves as a money maker.
I expect a higher standard from the Rocky Mountain Elk Foundation.

text: Celebrities Preview of Rihanna's Second Collaboration With River Island Rihanna recently revealed her second collection with retailer River Island. The edgy collection still carries that city-girl sass that Rihanna's first collection had but it's also on trend with a sporty chic feel. The autumn/winter 2013 collection features a camouflage crop top and pencil skirt combo and a striped sleeveless, turtleneck dress that has a sexy, thigh-high slit (which are both typical Rihanna outfits). This collection is risqué yet wearable, if you're as daring as RiRi. If you put a little tomboy, a lot of sexy, and even more sassiness all together; this collection is what you'll get. Our personal favorite piece is the long-sleeved black and white body-con mini dress. It's perfect for a night out with the girls in a big city. So, what do you guys think of Rihanna's collection? Is it a hit? Or is it only fit for a trendsetter like RiRi herself? Photos by: rollingstone.com, vogue.co.uk August 14, 2013 By Jayda Fisher #Celebrities #Fashion #Latest Buzz
