Published: December 2016

Plasma cellmyeloma constitutes about 10% of all hematologic malignancies. Metastatic cutaneous lesions without underlying bony involvement are rare and associated with advanced disease, poor prognosis and high tumor burden. IgG is the most common subtype and IgD is believed to have a more aggressive course.

Background: Cutaneous leishmaniasis (CL) is a neglected tropical disease with diverse clinical manifestations, ranging from localized CL to severe forms such as diffuse CL and mucocutaneous leishmaniasis. Borderline disseminated CL (BDCL), an intermediate form, is characterized by multiple disseminated lesions and poses unique diagnostic and therapeutic challenges, especially in pediatric patients. This study explores pediatric BDCL to better understand its clinical presentation, diagnostic approaches and treatment outcomes.

This review focuses on the interactions between the cutaneous senses, and in particular touch and temperature, as these are the most relevant for developing skin-based display technologies for use in virtual reality (VR) and for designing multimodal haptic devices. A broad spectrum of research is reviewed ranging from studies that have examined the mechanisms involved in thermal intensification and tactile masking, to more applied work that has focused on implementing thermal-tactile illusions such as thermal referral and illusory wetness in VR environments. Research on these tactile-thermal illusions has identified the differences between the senses of cold and warmth in terms of their effects on the perception of object properties and the prevalence of the perceptual experiences elicited.
