Sandals, and Hygiene and Infections of the Feet

Prevalence of bacteria and fungi in athlete's foot of varying severity and response to topical antibacterial and antifungal therapies

“…Nickerson et al [ 14] used the ecological technique of drying the lesions in soldiers who had athlete's foot. The group who wore sandals greatly improved whereas the group who wore boots did not.…”

43. Đặc Điểm Lâm Sàng Và Các Yếu Tố Liên Quan Của Bệnh Nấm Móng Tại Bệnh Viện Da Liễu Trung Ương Năm 2018

“…Theo nghiên cứu đa trung tâm trên 15 000 bệnh nhân của A K Gupta và cộng sự tại Canada, DLSO chiếm tỉ lệ 41% tất cả các rối loạn về móng[4]. Đối với nấm móng nói riêng tỉ lệ DLSO có thể lên tới 85%[8,9]. Theo nghiên cứu của chúng tôi, vị trí tổn thương hay gặp nhất là bên và bờ xa với tỉ lệ gặp là 71,7% bệnh nhân; ngược lại là hình thái tổn thương trắng bề mặt móng (SWO) chiếm tỉ lệ thấp nhất là 38,4%; SWO ít gặp hơn và thường liên quan tới các rối loạn tuần hoàn ngoại vi, tiểu đường, chấn thương móng, và vệ sinh móng kém.…”

Laurence Irving: An Appreciation

“…1 He received his AB from Bowdoin College in 1916 and his AM from Harvard the next year. His further studies were interrupted by military service as an infantry lieutenant in the American Expeditionary Force and Army of Occupation during and shortly after World War I (Irving 1945). Following his return to civilian life, he enrolled at Stanford and completed a PhD in physiology in 1924.…”

“…Even before that entry, Irving undertook projects evaluating cold protection provided by military clothing, aerobic support for high-altitude flight, and carbon monoxide hazards in aircraft and winter shelters (Irving 1945). One result was development and production of several devices for gas analysis by the group he established at Swarthmore.…”

“…One result was development and production of several devices for gas analysis by the group he established at Swarthmore. Also in 1942, Detlev Bronk, coordinator of research in the Office of the Air Surgeon, U.S. Army Air Force, proposed to Irving that he form a physiological section in that branch of service to test equipment for increasing the effectiveness of flight personnel (Irving 1945). In 1943, Larry reported to the Air Force Proving Ground at Eglin Field, Florida, as a major and chief of the Physiological Test Section.…”
