“…This is consistent with the German Information Network of Departments of Dermatology reporting a significantly increasing trend in positive patch tests for OACD caused by isothiazolinones [38] and the UK THOR database reporting a significantly increasing trend for OACD attributed to acrylates in beauticians [37,39]. Both RNV3P and THOR reported no significant trend in the incidence of OACD attributed to rubber additives [18,40] and significantly decreasing trends for OCU attributed to latex [19 & ,40].…”

Background: Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and energy dispersive X-ray (EDX) techniques have been used in various fields of medical research, including different pathologies of the nails; however, no studies have focused on obtaining high-resolution microscopic images and elemental analysis of disorders caused by synthetic nails and acrylic adhesives. Methods: Damaged/injured fingernails caused by the use of acrylate glue and synthetic nails were investigated using SEM and EDX methods. Results: SEM and EDX proved that synthetic nails, acrylic glue, and nails damaged by contact with acrylate glue have a different morphology and different composition compared to healthy human nails. Conclusions: SEM and EDX analysis can give useful information about the aspects of topography (surface sample), morphology (shape and size), hardness or reflectivity, and the elemental composition of nails.

“…Kreiss et al found an increased risk of asthma with onset during employment among cosmetologists, attributable to their exposure to sensitizers and irritants [23]. In Great Britain, according to the Health and Occupation Research (THOR) database, 11 cases of occupational asthma among beauticians were reported in 1996-2011, attributed to acrylates, dyes, nail glues and nail extruder [5]. Cases of work-related rhinitis were also reported, as caused by acrylates [12] or…”

“…In Warshaw et al study, allergic or irritant contact dermatitis appeared among 37% of examined cosmetologists [4]. Kwok et al found an increase in cases of occupational dermatitis associated with acrylates in beauticians over 15 years in Great Britain [5]. In Ramos et al study, in a group of patients with occupational allergic contact inquiry comprising at the same time the questionnaire, medical examination and selected allergy tests had not been performed before in that occupational group.…”

Objectives: Manicurists are exposed to various chemicals in nail and skin care products and may develop ocular, nasal, respiratory or skin adverse reactions to them. To investigate the occurrence of ocular, nasal, respiratory and skin problems among manicurists and to identify their causal factors, particularly allergic etiology and occupational origin. Material and Methods: Manicurists employed in beauty salons in the central region of Poland were invited to fill in the questionnaire and undergo medical examination, skin prick tests with common aeroallergens, patch tests with European Baseline Series and (Meth)Acrylates Series-Nails and spirometry. Results: In the questionnaire adverse nasal symptoms were reported by 70%, ocular -by 58%, respiratory -by 42%, hand eczema -by 43% of manicurists. In the medical interview, the frequency of those complaints was lower: nasal ones -41%, ocular -24%, cough -18%, hand skin dryness -20%, hand eczema -6%. Cough and hand skin dryness occurred significantly more frequently than in the case of controls. Contact allergy was found for 41% of manicurists and 35% of controls. The prevalence of nickel sensitization was high in both groups (38% and 27%, respectively). Only 3 manicurists reacted to (meth)acrylates. The frequency of atopic diseases was similar in compared groups. Irritant nasal and respiratory reactions were significantly more prevalent among manicurists (nasal -18% vs. 2%, p < 0.01; respiratory -18% vs. 1%, p < 0.001). Work-related nasal irritant reactions were finally diagnosed for 19%, ocular ones -for 13%, respiratory -for 18% and within hand skin -for 23% of manicurists. Conclusions: The frequency of workattributed irritant mucosal and skin symptoms among manicurists is high. Exposure to acrylates is an important source of mucosal irritant reactions while occlusive gloves cause irritation of hand skin. The prevalence of nickel allergy among Polish females is high.
