Cutaneous murine model of infection caused by Neoscytalidium dimidiatum: a preliminary study of an emerging human pathogen.

Neoscytalidium dimidiatum is an emerging fungus that causes a skin infection similar to dermatophytosis; it affects both immunocompetent and immunosuppressed individuals, and it may invade deeper tissues and organs and cause systemic disease. Little is known about the etiopathogenesis of the infection caused by this fungus, and no standard effective treatment is available. The aim of the present experimental study was to develop an animal model of skin infection with N.

Delayed-type Necrosis after Soft-tissue Augmentation with Hyaluronic Acid.

The growing use of dermal fillers, specifically the use of hyaluronic acid, can be explained by their effectiveness and versatility as well as their favorable safety profiles. Nevertheless, early and late complications with varying levels of severity may occur. The incidence of complications is low and the majority of adverse events are mild (edema, erythema, and local ecchymosis) and of limited duration.

Rejuvenation of periorbital area: treatment with an injectable nonanimal non-crosslinked glycerol added hyaluronic acid preparation.

Background: Therapeutic approaches to aging of the periorbital region are unique because of the delicacy of the anatomical structures and the possibility of adverse events. The synthesis of hyaluronic acid (HA) and other components responsible for skin hydration and elasticity diminish with age.

Objective: To evaluate the efficacy and safety of an injectable product containing non-crosslinked HA of nonanimal origin in association with glycerol to treat aging of the periorbital region.
