Objective: to understand the technologies used in nursing care for wounded individuals in a large hospital in the inland of Bahia, Brazil. Methods: It is a qualitative, descriptive and exploratory research whose participants were 10 nursing professionals, three nurses and seven nursing technicians. The data were collected through interviews and observation, from March to April of the year 2016. Based on the ethical questions of the research, the collection took place after approval by the Research in Ethics’ Committee (CEP), through CAEE number: 56185416.5.0000.0055. Results: We verified more uses of light and hard technologies in the care of the nursing professionals for the treatment of the bearers of wound. Conclusion: the results show the need for the nursing’s team training, with the purpose of changing the technologies used in the direct care to bearers of wounds and, consequently, improvement in the wounds’ healing process.

Pyoderma gangrenosum, pyogenic sterile arthritis and acne (PAPA syndrome) is a hereditary, autosomal dominant, auto- inflammatory disease caused by missense mutation in the proline/serine/threonine phosphatase-interacting protein 1 (PSTPIP1) gene and predominantly affecting the joints and skin. Many reports now suggest that the clinical phenotype of PAPA syndrome may vary among people carrying the mutation and can lack the classic triad of pyogenic sterile arthritis, Pyoderma gangrenosum and cystic acne. No definite treatment strategy has been established for this PAPA like syndrome so far. We describe the treatment response of corticosteroids in a 23-year-old male with PAPA like syndrome and Takayasu arteritis, an association which has never been reported before.

Due to the constantly increasing incidence of melanoma of the skin, its early diagnosis becomes very important, which at an early stage gives a very good therapeutic prognosis. The paper draws attention to the need to use prevention as an effective action in the field of popularizing epiddemiological knowledge and disseminating pro-health behaviors.

Epoxy resins are frequently used in electrical insulation, paints, inks & PVC products. DGEBA resin (diglycidyl ether of bisphenol A) is one most important allergen in epoxy resin and is known to cause allergic and airborne contact dermatitis. A professional worker whose work pertained to installation of new electrical meters presented with eczematous dermatitis over neck and forearm. Patch test showed positive reaction to epoxy resins. Allergic Contact Dermatitis (ACD) to epoxy resins is usually directly related to the occupation of the individual in most cases. Dissemination of relevant information about potential sensitization to materials containing epoxy resins and pre exposure screening patch tests of workers in occupations where exposure to epoxy resins is anticipation of potential contact dermatitis is highly recommended.

The Trichilemmal carcinoma (TC) is a rare skin adnexal malignant tumor that develops from the outer root sheath of hair follicles or most often from a trichilemmal cyst, after multiple trauma and / or iterative inflammations. We report the case of a 64-year-old patient who consulted for a scalp tumor, evolving progressively for 2 years.
