Dermatologists have been interested in recent advancements in regenerative therapy. Current research is actively investigating the possibility of placental tissue derivatives to decelerate the skin aging process, enhance skin regeneration, reduce scarring, and prevent hair loss. Amniotic membranes (AM) play a crucial role in regenerative medicine as they serve as a suitable means of transporting stem cells, growth hormones, cytokines, and other essential compounds.

Article Synopsis
  • Chronic inflammatory skin conditions like atopic dermatitis and psoriasis are challenging to treat with existing options, such as topical corticosteroids, which have limitations and side effects.
  • Recent research highlights the potential of placental derivatives—from decidua, placental membrane, and umbilical cord—to effectively treat these conditions by reducing inflammation and promoting healing.
  • The use of these derivatives may revolutionize care by providing benefits for not just psoriasis and atopic dermatitis, but also other skin diseases like vitiligo and pemphigus, potentially changing treatment methodologies and improving patient outcomes.

Background: Despite the recent advancements in the design and manufacture of prostheses for individuals with craniofacial irregularity and amputation, these individuals tend to become self-conscious about their appearance. The aim of this study was to investigate the reliability and validity of Persian version of the Derriford Appearance Scale24 (P-DAS24) for a sample of individuals with craniofacial irregularity and limb loss.

Methodology: Reliability of the P-DAS24 was determined by computing internal consistency and test-retest reliability utilizing Cronbach's alpha coefficient and Pearson's correlation coefficient.
