Article Synopsis
- Extramammary Paget's disease (EMPD) is a rare type of skin cancer that can occur in multiple areas simultaneously, with very few cases of quadruple EMPD documented.
- An 81-year-old man developed multiple erythematous lesions after previously having surgery for vulvar EMPD, and all new lesions were found to be in situ EMPD upon examination.
- A review of similar four-case occurrences revealed that they mostly affected elderly Japanese males and were limited to the epidermis, suggesting they were less likely to spread; treatments like imiquimod may be effective for managing this condition.
Purpose: A major complication associated with the use of resilient denture liners (RDLs) is a change in hardness over time. In vivo studies on the deterioration of RDLs over time are needed. We aimed to investigate the influence of patient characteristics on the hardness of acrylic-based RDLs (ARDLs) embedded in complete maxillary dentures.

The null hypothesis was that no difference exists between the satisfaction ratings of conventional acrylic resin denture (CARD) wearers and those of ARL denture (ARLD) wearers.
Materials And Methods: From April 2004 to July 2006, a randomized controlled trial was conducted at two centers, including 74 edentulous patients.
The antihistamine effects of olopatadine and levocetirizine, in standard-dose application described in their information (5 mg twice a day for olopatadine; 5 mg once daily for levocetirizine), were examined from 11.5 to 24 h after application. The test was designed in a double-blind, randomized, cross-over, placebo-controlled study of 12 healthy volunteers on histamine-induced flare and wheal response using an iontophoresis technique.
