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.

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.

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.

The aim of the articles was to disseminate trends emerging in the production of sustainable cosmetics. For thousands of years, people have been looking for new ways to improve their appearance. Wanting to take care of their beauty, women and men all over the world, in addition to using the best cosmetics and treatments, want to introduce a sustainable beauty routine to mitigate the negative impact of consumerism on the environment. One of the most noticeable trends is the development of pro-environmental solutions applied in everyday life, but also in industry. Manufacturers are emphasising the production of more environmentally friendly raw materials. Conscious consumers, they choose cosmetics whose production is based on sustainability

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.
