About Hyperhidrosis

Hyperhidrosis is a condition that causes intense sweat production especially in certain areas of the body such as the armpits, palms and soles. People suffering from hyperhidrosis face problem in their social and professional life because of the incessant sweating.The treatment is done by injecting botulinum toxin (Botox-Dysport) into the sweat glands where the problem occurs with immediate reduction of symptoms. The treatment is very simple and the reduced sweating lasts for about 4-6 months. (Botox-Dysport) was discovered in the early 19th century and in the mid-20th century it was manufactured in a laboratory. Its application in medicine began in the 1970s in Ophthalmology and later in Neurology. In April 2002, it was approved by the F.D.A. (Food and Drug Administration of the United States) for use in the treatment of forehead and midface wrinkles. Since then, 10 million applications are made every year all over the world, with an increasing trend. Botox/Dysport treatment of course does not replace surgical procedures, but acts as a complement or improves the facial appearance in people who do not directly desire extensive plastic surgery.

Treatment

The use of the drug requires excellent knowledge of the anatomy of the muscles, the mode of action, dosage, indications and contraindications. Botulinum toxin “blocks” the release of a chemical substance from nerve cells (acetylcholine), which causes muscle contraction, and in this way muscle movement is impaired. The treatment is simple, short (about 10 minutes) and is carried out in the plastic surgeon’s office.

More Info

You should know, that its action starts after 48-72 hours and reaches the maximum in 15 days. Botox/Dysport treatment is very safe and the side effects are minimal when the treatment protocol is strictly applied. You can immediately return to your planned activities.

The result, depending on the condition of the skin applied, can be maintained from 4 to 6 months and is safe to repeat.

There is a hereditary predisposition and an association with various other conditions such as diabetes mellitus, epilepsy, alcoholism, trauma. Both sexes are equally affected after the 5th-6th decade of life. Palmar denervation thickens, rickets and causes the fingers to curl.

About Dupuytren’s disease

Mainly, the little finger (70%) and the ring finger (65%) are affected. The disease begins with the appearance of small hard nodules (lumps) along the course of the flexor tendons and then a chord develops leading to progressive bending of the finger. It is often bilateral. Treatment is usually surgical (periodic debridement). It is often underestimated and this is because we do not know that the skin is the largest organ in our body, making up 16% of our weight, and is responsible for maintaining our homeostasis. The skin is a barrier to heat loss, water and electrolyte loss and is a major barrier to microbes.

Normally the separation occurs between the 7th-8th week of intrauterine life. It occurs at a frequency of 1:2000 births. The 3rd inter-uterine interval is the one most affected. Depending on the degree of dermal and/or bony fusion, its forms are determined. The toes are sometimes affected.

About Syndicate

Syndactyly is often accompanied by abnormalities of other organs. It is almost unbelievable that it is found in 28 syndromes! The recovery time ( timing) depends on the complexity of the lesion. When there is bony involvement, separation occurs at 6-12 months of age. Simpler forms can wait until the child is 2 years of age. Over 60 surgical techniques have been described. All are aimed at separating the fingers, creating a good interdigital space and covering the traumatic surfaces with a graft. The results are satisfactory Often underestimated and this is because we do not know that the skin is the largest organ in our body, making up 16% of our weight, and is responsible for maintaining our homeostasis. The skin is a barrier to heat loss, water and electrolyte loss and is a major barrier to microbes.

The hand, with its 27 bones and joints and 24 tendons, has a dual function. On the one hand, it is the 'instrument before instruments' (tool of tools), thanks to which man becomes capable of constructing and operating tools and creating machines that constitute a whole world of their own, parallel to the world of nature.

About Limb

On the other hand, it is the organ of touch, the only one of the senses that does not have its seat, like the others, in the head, and through which one senses the physical presence of one’s neighbour. Moreover, it is also an expression of the soul, speech, an organ of communication.The relationship between hand and brain is a given. Which of the two is a consequence of the other?Anaxagoras said that man is the most intelligent of animals because he has hands. Aristotle, with critical reasoning, reversed the proposition and said that man is the most intelligent of animals not because he has hands, but precisely because he is the most intelligent of animals, that is why he has hands! Be that as it may, after all, the close hand-brain relationship is manifested not only by the extent of the projection of the hand limb into the sensory zone of the cerebral cortex, but also by the multiplicity of phenomena with which hand-brain pathology is closely associated. The hand, it is generally agreed, “is the next element of human beauty after the face.” The importance of its restoration ( functional and aesthetic ) is undeniable. This follows, among other things, from the great interest of scientists and their preoccupation with the subject for many years . The complexity of the construction of the hand extremity makes it an object of specialized knowledge. The congenital anomalies of the distal hand are numerous with great diversity. Their aetiology is completely unknown.
