Extractions: Peter A. Piccione This bibliogaphical database is still in progress. It is a major and comprehensive bibliography designed to facilitate academic research on the subjects of medicine and health in the Nile River Valley from the prehistoric era to early Christian times. As of Spring 2001, the bibliography contains about 3,000 citations that have been fully catalogued and cross-referenced in an electronic database employing the textbase programs INMAGIC DB/TEXTWORKS® and INMAGIC PLUS® . Currently, the entries are cross-referenced under 579 discrete subject headings. The consistently hot and dry desert climate of the Nile Valley has facilitated the preservation of substantial numbers of human remains throughout the millennia. Beginning from at least 10,000 B.C. (the Qada Culture) and ensuing through Late Antiquity, these remains survive either as mummified corpses or unmummified skeletal material, most of which is appropriate for pathological study. The Egyptian environment is also conducive to the preservation of medically-related architecture and artifacts. Archaeology has identified healing centers and sanatoria (e.g., Dendera and Deir el-Bahari), and it has strongly inferred the existence of temple-based establishments for training physician-priests (

Extractions: Dermatology as a medical speciality and as a medical discipline designated semantically as such, is about two hundred years old. This notwithstanding, skin disease has been in the focus of attention by the medical and the lay world since time immemorial. Ancient texts, be they Biblical or Vedic, attest to that. Dermatology depends more on visual presentation of disease characteristics than do other disciplines. For this reason, dermatologic imagery has played an important role over the last two centuries during which the discipline was established. This development from woodcuts, to etchings, to chromolithographs, to photographs, is outlined. S Ranganathan, M S Ranjith, S Gokul Shankar, S Arun Mozhi Balajee, B N Selvakumar, Mohammad Aejaz Different strains of common dermatophytes including different mating strain, collected from clinical, animal and soil sources as also some tester strains, were studied for their proteolytic enzyme activity during vegetative and sporulation phases. Sabouraud's dextrose broth and Takashio broth were used to induce vegetative and sporulation phases respectively in these dermatophytes. All the strains of T. rubrum showed very low enzyme activity during sporulation when compared to vegetative growth phase. In other species of dermatophytes, the enzyme activity was found to be almost similar during both the growth phases. High protease production in association with one mating type of A. vanbreuseghemii was observed. The enzyme activity of clinical isolates of the non-anthropophilic species such as T. simii, M. nanum and M. gypseum were relatively low when compared to T. mentogrophytes var. interdigitale and T. tonsurans. The severity of the lesion produced by these dermatophytes supports the validity of keratin specific keratinase in dermatophytes. Our study established the fact that protease in dermatophytes has a definite role in pathogenesis. Protease production during sporulation in T. rubrum may be one of the selective of this species.

Extractions: University of Sydney, Australia. Knee replacement Pagets disease with OA Charcot forefoot Osteoarthritis (degenerative joint disease)- is the most common form of arthritis. Aetiology - On a cellular level, osteoarthritis may be a result of a failed attempt of chondrocytes to repair damaged cartilage as well as increased water content may result from childhood (SUFE see case 14 , Perthes see POT, CDH, Sepsis, necrosis) or in adulthood from abnormal bone (Pagets, AVN see case 13 ), abnormal cartilage (see POT), abnormal loads (malunion). Characteristics - On exam include decreased ROM and crepitus. The knee is the most common joint affected. Treatment begins with supportive measures (activity modification, cane, etc.) and includes NSAIDs and a variety of surgical procedures ranging from arthroscopy to arthroplasty. Neuropathic Arthropathy (Charcot Joint) An extreme form of osteoarthritis caused by a disturbance in the sensory innervation of a joint. Causes include diabetes (foot), tabes dorsalis (lower extremity)

Gallicano IRCCS Roma Parole chiave: Ocronosi esogena Il frequente utilizzo di creme schiarenti, soprattutto a base di idrochinone e di corticosteroidi, espone a notevoli complicanze dermatologiche, soprattutto se tali prodotti vengono usati quotidianamente e per lunghi periodi. Attraverso canali impropri, possono essere reperite sul mercato numerose formulazioni di questi prodotti, provenienti soprattutto da alcuni paesi africani (Nigeria, Costa d'Avorio, Sud-Africa) o dalla stessa Europa e il cui commercio si effettua al di fuori di ogni controllo sanitario. Le complicanze osservate vanno dalla comparsa dell'acne, alle dermatosi infettive modificate dall'applicazione locale di corticosteroidi, alle discromie, agli eczemi da contatto, alle striae cutis distensae. Casi clinici Entrambe le pazienti riferivano di aver fatto uso quotidianamente e per molti mesi di numerosi prodotti depigmentanti, di natura non ben precisata, ma verosimilmente contenenti idrochinone ad alta concentrazione e corticosteroidi locali.
