Reply to correspondence ‘Topical ionic contra viral therapy comprised of digoxin and furosemide as a potential novel treatment approach for common warts’
We appreciate Dr Abdelmaksoud's thorough review of our manuscript (1) and would like to reply to the comments that were raised with this letter. First, it appears that the understanding is that the study describes the 'clinical response of common warts to a topical application of a fixed dose of 980 mg of the ICVT gel on the patients' lower back. It should be clarified that the main objective of this first-in-man study was evaluate the systemic exposure, safety and tolerability of ionic-contra-viral therapy (ICVT) (2).

Spread of fluid: Role of tip configurations in needles
Abstract
Background/purpose
During the injection of a fluid in a tissue model, the fluid might be affected by the needle tip configuration and the number of channels. Thus, the objective of the present work is to observe the influence of different needle tips and number of channels on the spread of a fluid.
Methods
Fluid distribution data were obtained after injecting 0.3 mL of fluid into a foamed polymer model with a velocity of 2 mm/s. The spread area and the depth were determined for 3 different types of hypodermic needles: Single channel needles with bevel tip and blunt tip and a needle with conical tip and 3 internal channels.
Results
The bevel tip provides a higher spread in the direction where the bevel points and reaches larger depths than the other two needles. The spread for the blunt tip and the polymer needle is equally distributed on both sides of the needle. The largest horizontal area around the tip is achieved by the 3-channel needle.
Conclusion
The tip configuration and number of channels have an influence on the distribution of fluid. The bevelled needle directs the fluid and reaches larger depths compared with the 3-channel needle that gets more horizontal spread.
A feature fusion system for basal cell carcinoma detection through data-driven feature learning and patient profile
Abstract
Background
Basal cell carcinoma (BCC) is the most common skin cancer, which is highly damaging in its advanced stages. Computer-aided techniques provide a feasible option for early detection of BCC. However, automated BCC detection techniques immensely rely on handcrafting high-level precise features. Such features are not only computationally complex to design but can also represent a very limited aspect of the lesion characteristics. This paper proposes an automated BCC detection technique that directly learns the features from image data, eliminating the need for handcrafted feature design.
Methods
The proposed method is composed of 2 parts. First, an unsupervised feature learning framework is proposed which attempts to learn hidden characteristics of the data including vascular patterns directly from the images. This is done through the design of a sparse autoencoder (SAE). After the unsupervised learning, we treat each of the learned kernel weights of the SAE as a filter. Convolving each filter with the lesion image yields a feature map. Feature maps are condensed to reduce the dimensionality and are further integrated with patient profile information. The overall features are then fed into a softmax classifier for BCC classification.
Results
On a set of 1199 BCC images, the proposed framework achieved an area under the curve of 91.1%, while the visualization of learned features confirmed meaningful clinical interpretation of the features.
Conclusion
The proposed framework provides a non-invasive fast BCC detection tool that incorporates both dermoscopic lesional features and clinical patient information, without the need for complex handcrafted feature extraction.
Validation of digital photographic reference scales for evaluating facial aging signs
Abstract
Background
Validated tools are essential to evaluate facial skin aging for both dermatological and cosmetic investigations. While many visual aging scales have been developed, few have been validated and none in terms of degree of distinguishability (DD). We developed and validated a series of visual scales using a novel digital interface for scoring facial skin aging in Caucasian women.
Materials and methods
Three dermatologists independently established scales for 12 distinct aging signs from high-definition facial photographs of 400 adult women (Fitzpatrick phototypes I-IV) taken under standardized conditions. They then selected a consensus scale for each individual sign with a representative photo per grade. Scales were integrated into a digital interface allowing simultaneous viewing of all grades of each scale alongside the photograph of a test subject. Next, scales were validated by a different dermatologist, a general practitioner and a non-medical expert skin evaluator using photos of 350 women which had not been used for establishing the scales.
Results
Kappa estimates showed almost perfect agreement for wrinkle and skin aging scales (≥0.85) and moderate to substantial agreement for scales relating to color irregularities (telangiectasia, solar lentigines, freckles) for both inter- and intra-observer reproducibility. Intra-observer DD estimates were mostly high. Non-dermatologists performed well on reproducibility for both Kappa (from 0.6 to 0.9) and DD estimates.
Conclusion
Our work demonstrates that the digital interface scales for 12 distinct aging features are highly suitable for use in clinical and epidemiological studies on skin aging by both dermatologists and non-dermatologists.
Spectrophotometer is useful for assessing vitiligo and chemical leukoderma severity by quantifying color difference with surrounding normally pigmented skin
Abstract
Background
Acquired skin hypopigmentation has many etiologies, including autoimmune melanocyte destruction, skin aging, inflammation, and chemical exposure. Distinguishing lesions from normally pigmented skin is clinically important to precisely assess disease severity. However, no gold standard assessment method has been reported. We aimed to investigate whether spectrophotometers are useful for assessing vitiligo and rhododendrol (4-(4-hydroxyphenol)-2-butanol) (Rhododenol®)-induced leukoderma disease severity by quantifying skin color.
Methods
Mexameter® MX18 and CM-700d spectrophotometer were used for assessing vitiligo/leukoderma by measuring melanin index, L*a*b* color space, and ΔE*ab value, which represents the color difference between two subjects and is calculated by the values of L*a*b*.
Results
MX18 and CM-700d can quantitatively distinguish vitiligo/leukoderma from normally pigmented skin based on melanin index. CM-700d consistently quantified the color of vitiligo/leukoderma lesions and surrounding normally pigmented skin in L*a*b* color spaces and ΔE*ab. ΔE*ab is well correlated with melanin index and clinical appearance.
Conclusion
ΔE*ab has been frequently used in aesthetic dentistry; however, current study is the first to use it in the measurement of skin color. ΔE*ab seems to be a useful parameter to evaluate the color contrast between vitiligo/leukoderma and surrounding normally pigmented skin and can be used to evaluate disease severity and patient's quality of life.
Aseptic surgical preparation for upper eyelid blepharoplasty via full-face octenidine antiseptic without antibiotic medication shows effective prophylaxis against post-surgical wound infection
Abstract
Blepharoplasty is the third most common plastic surgical procedure in the USA. Due to the emergence of multiresistant bacteria, optimising the antiseptic procedure is crucial. Choice of antiseptics plays an important role as they may cause skin irritation and colouring of disinfected areas. In this study, the use of the aqueous antiseptic octenisept® (octenidine) was evaluated in the outcome of blepharoplasties: incidence of wound dehiscence; haematoma; and infection in correlation with gender, medication, smoking habits and time of year. This retrospective surveillance study included 352 patients (median age 58·3 years). Skin disinfection was performed thrice prior to blepharoplasty. Sutures were removed on day 6. None of the patients suffered from wound infection. The total rate of wound dehiscence was 6·3%, with a higher ratio among male patients. Smokers and patients on anticoagulant medication showed a significantly higher incidence of wound dehiscence. Throughout the year, rates of wound dehiscence were highest in summer. Aseptic surgical preparation for blepharoplasty via full-face scrub with octenisept® without oral antibiotic prophylaxis is well tolerated, with no report of wound infection, which may improve antibiotic stewardship as well as patient comfort. Elective upper eyelid blepharoplasty may ideally be performed in winter.
The efficacy of removable devices to offload and heal neuropathic plantar forefoot ulcers in people with diabetes: a single-blinded multicentre randomised controlled trial
Abstract
Non-removable offloading is the 'gold standard' treatment for neuropathic diabetic plantar forefoot ulcers. However, removable offloading is the common 'standard of care'. We compared three removable offloading devices for ulcer healing efficacy. In this multicentre, randomised controlled trial, 60 persons with neuropathic diabetic plantar forefoot ulcers were randomly assigned to wear a custom-made knee-high cast [BTCC (bivalved TCC)], custom-made ankle-high cast shoe or a prefabricated ankle-high forefoot-offloading shoe (FOS). Primary outcome was healing at 12 weeks. Dynamic plantar pressures, daily stride count and treatment adherence were assessed on a randomly selected subset (n = 35). According to intention-to-treat analysis, 58% of patients healed with BTCC [OR 0·77 (95% CI 0·41–1·45) versus FOS], 60% with cast shoe [OR 0·81 (95% CI 0·44–1·49) versus FOS] and 70% with FOS (P = 0·70). Mean ± SD peak pressure in kPa at the ulcer site was 81 ± 55 for BTCC, 176 ± 80 for cast shoe and 107 ± 52 for FOS (P = 0·005); stride count was 4150 ± 1626, 3514 ± 1380 and 4447 ± 3190, respectively (P = 0·71); percentage of 2-week intervals that patients wore the device <50% of time was 17·3%, 5·2% and 4·9%, respectively. Non-significant differences in healing efficacy between the three devices suggest that, when non-removable offloading is contraindicated or not available, each can be used for plantar forefoot ulcer offloading. Efficacy is lower than previously found for non-removable offloading maybe because suboptimal adherence and high stride count expose the patient to high repetitive stresses. These factors should be carefully considered in decision making regarding ulcer treatment.
Angiolymphoid hyperplasia with eosinophilia: report of nine cases
Abstract
Background
Angiolymphoid hyperplasia with eosinophilia (ALHE) is a benign vascular proliferation characterized by dermal or subcutaneous red or brown papules or nodules, most commonly on the head and neck.
Objective
The aim of this study was to review the epidemiological and clinical characteristics of ALHE, focusing particularly on the histological and therapeutic features.
Methods
We performed a retrospective study of all cases of ALHE diagnosed in our dermatology and pathology departments between 2004 and 2015.
Results
Over 12 years, we collected nine cases of ALHE (0.75 case/year). There were four men and five women. The mean age was 43 years. Lesions presented as erythematous or violaceous papules or nodules in all cases, multiple in five cases, and localized on the head in eight cases or other sites in four cases. The diagnosis of ALHE was clinically suspected in only two cases. The histopathological findings showed an ill-circumscribed, intradermal slightly lobular proliferation of capillary-sized vessels around several central vessels. In all cases, the blood vessels were lined by large endothelial cells. An inflammatory infiltrate around the vessels was formed mainly of lymphocytes and eosinophils with isolated plasma cells and histiocytes. Surgery was the most common treatment in our series. Other local or general treatment has also been used with varying responses.
Conclusion
Angiolymphoid hyperplasia with eosinophilia is a rare epithelioid vascular tumor with a challenging clinical and histological diagnosis. Despite its benign nature, ALHE causes a therapeutic dilemma.
ALK-positive primary cutaneous anaplastic large cell lymphoma: a case report and review of the literature
Abstract
Anaplastic large cell lymphoma (ALCL) limited to the skin is a distinct disease that is designated primary cutaneous ALCL (pcALCL). It has an indolent course with a significantly better prognosis compared to systemic ALCL (sALCL). Anaplastic lymphoma kinase (ALK) expression in lesions of cutaneous ALCL is classically considered to be a marker for skin involvement by sALCL. However, recent reports of patients with ALK-positive pcALCL challenge this concept and raise prognostic and therapeutic dilemmas. Herein, we report a case of ALK-positive pcALCL in a 45-year-old woman who was treated with local radiotherapy. We review previously reported cases in the literature to better characterize this rare variant. Overall, the rates of cutaneous recurrence, systemic dissemination, and disease-related mortality in ALK-positive pcALCL do not differ from those previously reported in pcALCL. ALK-positive pcALCL is diagnosed at younger age and has a better disease course in children compared to adults with lower incidences of skin recurrence and progression to systemic disease. We conclude that ALK-positivity in cutaneous ALCL does not necessarily imply systemic disease. ALK-positive pcALCL has an excellent prognosis and should be treated by excision and/or radiotherapy. However, patients must remain under close long-term follow-up as recurrence and progression to systemic disease may occur.
