Thanks to this progress, the prosthetic rehabilitation of the edentulous patient can now be effectively addressed by multiple therapeutic approaches rooted in the decision-making marriage between patient and clinician in both partial and total edentulous patients. From a historical perspective, the aesthetic-functional restoration of the completely edentulous maxillary arch has been subverted in the possibilities of intervention by the introduction of implantology, which has made it possible to overcome the otherwise mandatory use of removable devices with complete mucous support (1). The current study is intended to be an example of this evolution by describing one out of five clinical cases performed. Furthermore, it is intended to demonstrate how the newly proposed implant-prosthetic techniques, where a fixed implant rehabilitation is not possible due to age constraints, lack of bone support or unfavourable mechanical-aesthetics parameters, allow the rehabilitation of the upper total edentulous jaw with a removable device without a solidarizing intermediate bar to rely upon for the implants. The implants and the whole rehabilitation are, however, consolidated thanks to the stability provided by the presence of a telescopic connection, combining viable long-term survival (2) with optimal results for the patient in terms of cost (3), comfort, chewing capability (4), aesthetics and home hygiene.","PeriodicalId":15008,"journal":{"name":"Journal of applied cosmetology","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-02-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"47182768","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

As a side effect, periorbital hematomas usually occur, which can be annoying for patients. Ice water compresses and head elevation are used, without scientific evidence, for recovery, but specific creams, such as those with lactoferrin, can accelerate tissue repair processes. The study aimed to assess the efficacy of a cream containing lactoferrin encapsulated in liposomes, Kelador®, to reduce post-blepharoplasty bruises. Methods: This controlled, prospective, randomized, single-centre pilot clinical study was conducted at the Barraquer Clinic in Barcelona, Spain. All patients underwent a blepharoplasty, and periorbital hematomas were treated with a Chelating Cream (Kelador®). Patients were followed up two and nine days after surgery, where clinical data and photographs were taken. Images were assessed through an objective analysis method developed with the ImageJ® software. Results: Nineteen patients were enrolled, 16 women and three men. The median age was 60.37 years (SD 14.22), and the median of treatment days was 8.2 (SD 1.6). The mean Reduction % in the treated eyes was 33.3 (SD 31,0), and in untreated eyes, 17.7 (SD38,1). Differences were statistically significant (p = 0.00667). Conclusions: Using a Chelating Cream containing lactoferrin encapsulated in liposomes, such as Kelador®, accelerates the reduction of bruise colour after a periocular intervention such as blepharoplasty.","PeriodicalId":15008,"journal":{"name":"Journal of applied cosmetology","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-12-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"43807297","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

UI is a significant health problem that negatively impacts affected women’s well-being, sociality, and productivity. Therefore, seeking medical advice is highly recommended since valid treatment options exist. However, a definitive solution to the problem is not always possible. In these cases, absorbent containment products can help women deal with the persistent symptoms of incontinence, minimising the effects on the quality of life. High-quality products are paramount to avoid or reduce the onset of irritating skin phenomena, which can sometimes lead to more serious consequences, such as skin infections. Cotton is a natural fibre characterised by softness and hypoallergenic properties that has already shown its ability to improve skin health when used as a component of pads and other absorbent containment products. The aim of this work was to assess the safety and efficacy of a new organic cotton pull-on absorbent product in reducing skin erythema and oedema in women suffering from moderate to heavy urinary incontinence. In-vitro and clinical studies were performed. Results showed that the tested product effectively reduces skin erythema and oedema caused by the conventional use of synthetic pull-on absorbent products. Moreover, good compliance with the use was demonstrated compared to a non-cotton competitor device available on the market. In conclusion, the organic cotton absorbent device tested has improved the quality of life of women suffering from moderate to heavy urinary incontinence.","PeriodicalId":15008,"journal":{"name":"Journal of applied cosmetology","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-12-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"47554262","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The active ingredients of plants can reduce acne lesions and skin redness accompanying them. Specialised cosmetic formulations should support Anti-acne products containing therapeutic agents, reducing visible skin inflammation. These products should act simultaneously, ensuring proper skincare due to the content of plant metabolites exhibiting desired biological activity. In this study, the application of a selected plant extract in cosmetic preparations for acne skincare containing selected plant extracts was prepared: Arnica montana flower, Sambucus nigra and Rosmarinus officinalis leaf, Saponaria officinalis root, Aloe barbadensis leaf juice and Silybum marianum seed oil and then their effects were compared. The extracts were applied as active ingredients in face cream, serum and micellar solution forulations. The physicochemical properties (pH value, stability, dispersed phase particle size and type of emulsion) were evaluated; moreover, rheological tests of the samples were carried out, and the skin cleansing ability of the micellar solution was examined. In addition, all the formulations were subject to various tests, which allowed for the evaluation of their organoleptic properties. It was noticed that the used plant raw materials affect the care of the skin with acne tendencies. Both extracts (Arnica montana flower extract and Sambucus nigra extract) were used in the same concentrations in the cosmetics so that differences in results were easy to compare. Importantly, during the consumer tests, the probants discontinued usage of other anti-acne agents normally applied, which allowed for an objective assessment of the effect of the tested extracts on the acne skin. The formulations tested were proven to be effective cosmetics supporting anti-acne therapy.","PeriodicalId":15008,"journal":{"name":"Journal of applied cosmetology","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-12-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45544645","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
