Should we instruct patients to rub topical agents into skin? The evidence
No full textBackground: At least 15 factors influence the ability of compounds to penetrate the skin. Massage (rubbing) may be another factor that has gone relatively unrecognized. Method: PubMed, Google Scholar, and EMBASE databases were accessed online in March 2018 in search of studies measuring absorption through skin with and without rubbing or massage. Results: While some studies noted no difference in dermal absorption with regards to rubbing, others have demonstrated the opposite. In general, massage technique does indeed sometimes enhance dermal absorption. In addition to increase skin temperature and blood flow, rubbing likely modifies stratum corneum (SC) structure to enhance diffusion rates and increase retained penetrant amount within the skin. Conclusions: Understanding the mechanism of massage and its role in percutaneous penetration may help elucidate skin barrier function, dermal absorption, skin decontamination, and dermatotoxicology. To achieve such goals, an in vitro model that models in vivo behaviors must first be established. Subsequently, experiments with different penetrants, vehicles, massage time, and other variables may be considered

Contraceptive practices and reproductive patterns in sickle cell disease
No full textA questionnaire was administered to 52 females with sickle disease of genotypes Hgb SS, SC, and S-thalassemia, and to 80 control subjects. They answered questions pertaining to their contraceptive habits, their reproductive habits, and their sexual activity. It was found that sexual activity differed significantly for the 2 groups: only 38% of the females in the sicle cell group reported sexual activity compared with 81% of the females in the control groups. Contraception was used less frequently by the sickle cell group (33% vs. 66%). The most commonly used method was an oral contraceptive. However, barrier methods were chosen by the cumulative majority. The 2 groups exhibited similar rates of contraception but differences in the outcome of the pregnancies--sickle cell patients experienced more miscarriages and premature births. There was a greater percentage of cesarean sections among sickle cell patients (46%) compared to 18% in the control group. author\u27s modifie
Red cell distribution width in sickle cell disease
No full textRed cell distribution width (RDW), an electronically determined index of anisocytosis, was examined in 60 patients with sickle cell anemia (Hb SS), 28 patients with hemoglobin sickle cell (SC) disease, and seven patients with sickle cell-β + thalassemia (S-thal). All patients were adults and in the steady state of their disease. The RDW was greater in sickle cell patients than in 39 healthy, age and race matched controls without hemoglobinopathy (Hb AA). Patients with sickle cell anemia had higher mean RDW that those with Hb SC disease or with S-thal. The mean RDWs in the latter two disorders were not significantly different. In SS patients, the RDW correlated significantly with the degree of anemia and reticulocytosis. A group of 18 SS patients was studied while in acute painful crisis. Their mean RDW was not different from that in the steady state. Mean WBC and red cell volume, however, were significantly higher during pain crisis
