Stress has always been one of the triggers of hair loss. The global pandemic of COVID-19 infection has become such a factor for many people. Considering that the pathogenesis of hair loss in this infection has not been sufficiently studied yet, many authors suggest that, as the infection itself and the associated psychoemotional condition and the therapy can cause diffuse thinning of hair and androgenic alopecia. Several studies demonstrate a link between androgens involved in the pathogenesis of COVID-19 and the possible development of androgenic alopecia. Other researchers have observed many cases of telogen hair loss associated with this infection. In our practice, we also encounter diffuse hair thinning, presumably caused by COVID-19. Often, many patients do not consider necessity of consulting with doctor for hair loss. They look for medical help only when self-medication does not give the expected result. After these attempts to independently conduct therapy in some cases patients develop negative attitude towards certain drugs. In such cases, the doctor’s task is to adequately assess the patient’s condition and offer the optimal therapy in each specific case. Often, diffuse hair thinning of a telogen nature, which has arisen against the background of various infections, can be stopped without the help of drugs. The article describes the experience of applying care products with natural and innovative components in the fight against COVID-19-induced alopecia, which can be applied in the practice of a dermatologist.
The paper presents a modern view of the current and the clinic of herpetic infection among women. The clinical manifestations and character of the course of atypical forms of herpes are described. The types of therapy of herpes simplex virus are considered and their own recommendations are given on the management of patients with recurrent genital herpes.
Mycotic infections of the feet are common fungal infections in our time. According to some reports, about 10% of the world's population suffer from these infections. Men suffer from foot mycosis more often than others. Foot mycosis can manifest itself in three clinical forms: interdigital, plantar and vesiculopapular. Foot mycosis is often combined with onychomycosis or becomes a risk factor for its development. Many diseases, such as diabetes mellitus, vascular diseases, obesity are risk factors for foot mycosis. But what is important is that young and middle-aged people who lead an active lifestyle are at risk. It has long been established that public places such as gyms, swimming pools, baths and saunas are a source of mycotic infections. The internal climatic environment of footwear also has a significant impact on the development of foot mycosis. Closed shoes with high internal temperature and humidity create ideal conditions for dermatophyte growth. That is why people who prefer closed, even cloth shoes, or office workers, who are forced to constantly wear closed shoes, often suffer from foot mycosis and other fungal infections.The main problem in the treatment of foot mycoses is adherence to the prescribed treatment. In our practice, mycotic lesions are more common in people who lead an active lifestyle and are unable to adhere to a long course of therapy. Indeed, the treatment of mycosis often involves a two-week application of some topical antifungal agent. It is optimal to prescribe a single application of terbinafine film forming solution to such patients. This drug ensures the clinical effectiveness of therapy as it keeps antifungi-cidal activity for 13 days from the date of application and high adherence to treatment.
Алгоритм нисходящих доз ретиноидов в терапии акне, резистентных к стандартным методам лечения л.Р. саКанИя, К.т. ПлтеВа, И.М. КОРсУнсКая 1 ФГБУн «центр теоретических проблем физико-химической фармакологии Российской академии наук», Москва, Россия, 119991 В работе приведен обзор и собственные наблюдения авторов по применению изотретиноина в различных дозах для терапии тяжелых и торпидных к терапии форм акне. Подчеркнута особая роль информированности пациентов и врачей смежных специальностей о ретиноидах для адекватного подхода к терапии. Описаны различные алгоритмы назначения изотретиноина, приведены рекомендации отечественных и зарубежных специалистов. Полученные собственные результаты свидетельствуют о возможности длительного применения изотретиноина по ступенчатой схеме снижения доз, что позволяет избежать негативных эффектов от проводимой терапии и увеличить срок ремиссии. The paper provides the review and our own observations on the use of different doses of isotretinoin in treatment of severe and torpid forms of acne. We emphasized the special role of information awareness of patients and doctors, who work in the allied health specialties, about retinoids to provide an adequate approach to therapy. Various algorithms of isotretinoin administration were discussed and recommendations of Russian and international experts are provided. our own results show that long-term administration of isotretinoin is possible with stepwise dose reduction regimen, which prevents from negative effects of the therapy and increased duration of remission.
