Consisting of a lipid membrane and encapsulated proteins, they contain biologically active substances such as proteins, DNA, RNA, transcription factors, and metabolites. Discovered in the 1980s, exosomes play an important role in cell-to-cell communication and immune function. They vary in size, content, and function depending on the cell of origin. Exosomes have attracted interest in the field of Dermatology due to their potential applications in the treatment of scars, skin rejuvenation, hair regeneration, and other dermatological conditions. However, further clinical studies are needed to prove their efficacy and safety. Regulatory issues also need to be considered, as the use of exosomes in cosmetics and medical treatments is not yet fully approved in some countries. Moreover, it is important to understand the risks and side effects associated with the use of exosomes before their clinical use. Although promising, more research is needed to explore the full potential of exosomes in Medicine and Dermatology.</p>","PeriodicalId":7787,"journal":{"name":"Anais brasileiros de dermatologia","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.6,"publicationDate":"2024-11-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142674916","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Skin cancer is the most prevalent non-lymphoid malignancy occurring during heart transplantation follow-up. Due to the complexity of immunosuppressive therapy and the high prevalence and incidence of skin cancer in this population, dermatologists play an important role in the short and long-term follow-up of heart transplant recipients.</p><p><strong>Objectives: </strong>The goal of this study is to present data from a systematic literature review focusing on the occurrence of skin cancer in patients who have undergone heart transplantation.</p><p><strong>Methods: </strong>The authors conducted a systematic review of the literature in the EMBASE and PubMed databases from August to September 2021 to investigate the incidence of skin cancer in heart transplant patients. The authors selected retrospective and prospective cohort studies presenting data on the frequency of skin cancer in patients following heart transplantation.

Provided data are from 20 different countries, over the period 1974 to 2015. Incidence of non-melanoma skin cancer (NMSC) ranges from 0.97% to 52.8%. The incidence of squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) ranges from 1.19% to 89% and the incidence of basal cell carcinoma (BCC) ranges from 2% to 63%. Malignant Melanoma (MM) incidence ranges from 0.94% to 4.6% STUDY LIMITATIONS: The analysis involved an exclusive focus on heart transplant patients, and the statistical analysis of the sample may have been hampered. The significant heterogeneity among the studies emerged as a challenge during the analysis of the results.

Cutaneous cryptococcosis can be classified as \"secondary\", developing from a previous systemic disease, or, on the contrary, \"primary\", resulting from transcutaneous inoculation of the agent. It can also be classified as \"disseminated cutaneous cryptococcosis\", when there is an associated systemic disease, or \"localized\", when it is restricted to the skin. This article uses the term \"primary cutaneous cryptococcosis\" because it is the most widely used and already established in the literature. Historically, the first report of a possible case of primary cutaneous cryptococcosis (PCC) occurred in 1950 by Gancy WM and was published in the Archives of Dermatology. Subsequently, the rare and sporadic reports in the following decades were reviewed and reported in the 1985 publication by Baes & van Cutsen. However, the unequivocal acceptance of the existence of PCC as a distinct disease only occurred in 2003 with the publication by Neville S et al. of the French Cryptococcosis Study Group. The fundamental criterion established to consider it as PCC was the proven absence of systemic disease, whether pulmonary, in the CNS or other location at the time of diagnosis of the cutaneous condition, characterized by a single lesion and, mostly, in an exposed area. These and other clinical criteria, diagnostic confirmation, and therapeutic choice are discussed in detail in the full text.</p>","PeriodicalId":7787,"journal":{"name":"Anais brasileiros de dermatologia","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.6,"publicationDate":"2024-11-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142643260","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
