[Use of dermatography as treatment method in various medical specialties].

Dermatography is the application of tattooing techniques in medicine. In the past, several techniques were tried but none led to reproducible results. Dermatography has been improved over the last ten years, providing techniques which are both generally applicable and reproducible. It is a suitable treatment modality for permanently camouflaging disturbing discolorations and scars. This paper covers technical and medical aspects of dermatography, as well the indications.

Hot spring burns.

This case report describes a woman who, while visiting a hot spring, received partial- and full-thickness immersion scald burns of both ankles and heels. The prevention of such accidents is most important; efforts should be made to educate guides and tourists about the potential hazards inherent in these resorts.

Dermatography: a method for permanent repigmentation of achromic burn scars.

Dermatography, a refined elaborate tattooing technique, has been used successfully in 52 patients suffering from postburn depigmentation. Materials and methods are simple and safe. Over a 5-year follow-up no adverse reactions or complications were noticed. The cosmetic results were very satisfactory both to the surgeons and to the patients. Dermatography is suggested as an alternative for treating localized achromasia, particularly when other medical therapeutic attempts have failed in repigmenting this often disfiguring condition.

Oro-maxillofacial skeletal deformities resulting from burn scar contractures of the face and neck.

The deforming forces of the scar contracture associated with burns of the head and neck region involve primarily the skin and secondarily the facial musculoskeletal structures. A case of severe face and neck burn accompanied by extreme facial skeletal deformity is reported. Best results are obtained in patients treated properly and promptly by a team including plastic and maxillofacial surgeons as well as orthodontists.

Utilizing the osseointegration principle for fixation of nail prostheses.

A new osseointegrated anchorage device that holds a prosthetic nail plate was used successfully in eight patients, for a total of nine missing fingernails, secondary to trauma. There was only one early failure associated with patient noncompliance. The average follow-up time was 18 months. Details of the technique and three illustrative cases are presented.

Rhabdomyolysis in paraphenylenediamine intoxication.

Edema of the upper airways and rhabdomyolysis developed in a young patient as a consequence of paraphenylenediamine poisoning. Treatment with adrenaline, steroids and enforced diuresis prevented tracheostomy and renal failure.

[All-terrain vehicle accidents].

All-terrain vehicles (ATV) are designed for off-the-road occupational or recreational use. As their popularity has been increasing steadily, information has been accumulating on the morbidity and mortality associated with their use. The attributes of the ATV that make it attractive for recreation and sport are the reasons for much of its danger. Thus, horsepower, speed and ability to travel on rough and uncertain terrain are causal factors for accidents. The poor judgment and risk-taking of many of the young and immature drivers contribute to the great danger. 61 admissions due to ATV accidents from October 1992 to April 1995 are reviewed. The data suggest that ATV riders are at high risk for serious skeletal injuries and death. ATVs clearly present health hazards for riders of all ages, unless they are driven with great care. Guidelines for reducing the number and severity of injuries, such as age limits, safety programs and protective equipment are suggested.

[The Amsterdam air disaster--management and fate of casualties].

On Sunday, Oct. 4, 1992, an E1 A1 Boeing cargo plane crashed into a 10-story block of flats in the Bijmermeer, on the outskirts of Amsterdam. About 8 people died at the site of the disaster. 37 patients were treated in local hospitals within 90 minutes of the disaster, 16 of whom were admitted. 3 suffered severe, and 6 moderate burns (> 15% and 10-15% of body surface area, respectively). Although there were relatively few injured, a full-scale disaster response was evoked, providing an opportunity to study the effectiveness of current disaster plans. The rapid response of the ambulance service and the hospitals involved indicates that rehearsing disaster preparations is effective. The dispersal of the injured to several nearby hospitals prevented overloading of casualty departments. Secondary transfer of severely burned patients to the burn center was efficient and followed current guidelines. In retrospect, while communication between the various services might be subject to minor criticism, no problems were encountered which interfered with proper execution of the rescue operation. No one who survived the immediate impact died.

Salivary gland endoscopy: a new technique for diagnosis and treatment of sialolithiasis.

PURPOSE: To describe the use of endoscopy as a technique for diagnosing and treating sialolithiasis. Sialolithiasis is a common pathology of the major salivary glands, yet its accurate detection and treatment is still intriguing. PATIENTS AND METHODS: Eight cases of sialolithiasis were treated with our new technique which combines endoscopy and treatment. Two illustrative patients treated by this technique are described in detail. CONCLUSION: Endoscopy, has gained popularity in most surgical fields. We found that the available standard equipment used for TMJ arthroscopy can be used for exploration and extraction of calculi from the salivary ductal system.

Dermatography--a new discipline with a wide range of applications.

Dermatography is the application of tattooing techniques in medicine. In the past, several techniques were tried but none led to reproducible results. Dermatography has been developed over the last 10 years into a technique which is both generally applicable and reproducible. It is a suitable treatment modality for disturbing discolorations and scars of the skin which can be permanently camouflaged.

Fractures of the mandible caused by stoning--return of an ancient entity.

Fifteen patients with mandibular fractures related to stone-throwing incidents are presented. Three illustrative cases are discussed in detail. Criteria for selecting management by early surgical intervention or a conservative approach are discussed. The ultimate aim in management is to preserve the greatest possible amount of function with the least risk and morbidity for the patients.
