Clinical evaluation of a polymeric membrane dressing in the treatment of pressure ulcers.

The healing effects of the Ferris polymeric membrane dressing were tested in a 70-day evaluation of 18 ulcers on 13 elderly subjects with Stage I, II, and III pressure ulcers. The mean length of time these ulcers had been present prior to the trial dressing was 144 days with 50% of the ulcers (n = 9) present for 75 days or longer. Over 60% of the ulcers were completely healed and over 94% were improved during the study.

Progressive cribriform and zosteriform hyperpigmentation.

Five cases of progressive cribriform and zosteriform hyperpigmentation are described. The following criteria were fulfilled: (1) uniformly tan cribriform macular pigmentation in a zosteriform distribution; (2) a histologic pattern that consisted of a mild increase in melanin pigment in the basal cell layer and complete absence of nevus cells; (3) no history of rash, injury, or inflammation to suggest postinflammatory hyperpigmentation; (4) onset well after birth with gradual extension; and (5) lack of other associated cutaneous or internal abnormalities. This appears to be a newly described entity, although it resembles a Becker's nevus without hypertrichosis or an typical café au lait spot. We believe that such progressive cribriform and zosteriform pigmentation is not uncommon.
