REVIEW ARTICLES
Botulinum toxin: Non-cosmetic indications and possible mechanisms of action
Uwe Wollina
January-June 2008, 1(1):3-6
DOI

PMID
:20300330
Botulinum toxin (BTX) has gained a great interest in cosmetic dermatology for its effects on hyperkinetic facial lines. Understanding the basic research and analysis of effects of this potent drug can lead to other possible indications of interest for dermatologists. The use of BTX in focal hyperhidrosis is well established, but BTX has also effects on pain perception, itch and inflammation as discussed in this review.

Modified unna boot and pinch grafting for chronic non-healing venous leg ulcer
DN Balaraju, Chakravarthi R Srinivas, Sanjay V Mukhi
January-June 2008, 1(1):25-26
DOI

PMID
:20300337
Venous ulcers cause considerable morbidity. A 45-year-old man reported with non healing ulcer since 15 years. Patch tests revealed multiple sensitivity. Infection was first controlled with antibiotics and antiseptics. Dressing with modified Unna's boot made with zinc oxide 40% and glycerine paste 60% resulted in formation of healthy granulation tissue. Pinch grafting was subsequently done to promote epithelization. We recommend the use of Unna's paste instead of more expensive synthetic and occlusive and semi occlusive dressing to promote granulation tissue and pinch grafting after bed is ready to hasten epithelization.

Face lift hitherto had been a complicated and elaborate procedure. The introduction of threads to lift skin has been a major advance in lifting sagging skin. These threads which have barbs on their surface have simplified the procedure and have the possibilities of combination with other rejuvenation procedures.
