Congenital self-healing reticulohistiocytosis with spontaneous regression

An. bras. dermatol; 92 (4), 2017
Abstract: Congenital self-healing reticulohistiocytosis is a rare, benign, self-limiting variant of Langerhans cell histiocytosis (LCH). LCH encompasses a group of idiopathic disorders characterized by the clonal proliferation of Langerhans cells. Congenital self-healing reticulohistiocytosis typically a...

Sensitive skin: review of an ascending concept

An. bras. dermatol; 92 (4), 2017
Abstract: Sensitive skin is a condition characterized by stinging, burning and itching sensations. The diagnosis, pathophysiology and treatment of sensitive skin are still under discussion. In the last years, studies on its epidemiology have been performed, showing a high prevalence and impact on quality...

Langerhans' cell histiocytosis with neurological injuries diagnosed from a single cutaneous lesion

An. bras. dermatol; 92 (4), 2017
Abstract: Histiocytoses are rare diseases caused by the proliferation of histiocytes. The pathogenesis remains unknown and the highest incidence occurs in pediatric patients. The clinical presentations can be varied, in multiple organs and systems, and the skin lesions are not always present. Evolution i...

There are no studies exploring epidemiological transition in dermatology. This study investigated the incidence of dermatoses in new patients from a Brazilian countr...

An overview about oxidation in clinical practice of skin aging

An. bras. dermatol; 92 (3), 2017
Abstract Free radicals are unstable chemical species, highly reactive, being formed by cellular entities of different tissues. Increased production of these species without proper effective action of endogenous and exogenous antioxidant systems, generates a condition of oxidative stress, potentially prov...

Tretinoin peel: a critical view

An. bras. dermatol; 92 (3), 2017

Abstract The skin cells continuously produce, through cellular respiration, metabolic processes or under external aggressions, highly reactive molecules oxidation products, generally called free radicals. These molecules are immediately neutralized by enzymatic and non-enzymatic systems in a physiologica...
