Abstract

BACKGROUND Pressure injury develops due to sustained pressure at the bony prominence of the skin and tissues. Geriatric patients often have multiple comorbidities, predisposing them to pressure injury. Data on the characteristics of the geriatric with pressure injuries are still limited. This study aimed to report the characteristics of geriatric patients with pressure injuries admitted at a tertiary hospital in Indonesia. METHODS This cross-sectional study used medical records of geriatric patients admitted with all stages of pressure injuries consulted to the Department of Dermatology and Venereology at a tertiary hospital in Indonesia between January 2017 and April 2021. Pressure injuries were classified based on the 2019 National Pressure Injury Advisory Panel guideline. RESULTS 39 patients presented with varied pressure injury characteristics. The sacral region was the most reported site (36%), with stage 2 pressure injury being the most commonly found stage in the patients (74%). Interestingly, 22% of the patients had pressure injuries found on the atypical sites due to prolonged surgery or the pressure of medical devices. More than half of the patients used conventional dressings (51.3%). Immobility was found in 35.9% of the patients due to being bedridden. CONCLUSIONS No characteristics were found as a significant risk factor for pressure injury formation during or outside the admission period. However, a history of surgery might be related to pressure injury formation during admission.

Abstract

   Pendahuluan: Pityriasis lichenoides (PL) merupakan spektrum kelainan kulit yang tumpang tindih secara klinis maupun histopatologis dengan dua bentuk utama yaitu pityriasis lichenoides et varioliformis acuta (PLEVA) dan pityriasis lichenoides chronica (PLC). Sekitar 20% PL terjadi pada anak-anak dan dewasa muda. Beberapa publikasi ilmiah melaporkan PL pascavaksinasi coronavirus disease (COVID-19). Kasus: Seorang laki-laki, 64 tahun didiagnosis PL, 4 hari pascavaksinasi COVID-19 booster pertama Pfizer® sejak 14 bulan lalu. Pemeriksaan dermoskopi ditemukan dotted vessels, yellowish-orange structureless area, vesicles with red background. Pemeriksaan laboratorium didapatkan peningkatan D-dimer 490 mG/L dan IgE 730 IU/ml. Pemeriksaan histopatologi kulit sesuai PLEVA, ditemukannya eosinofil dipertimbangkan sebagai hipersensitivitas vaksin. Perbaikan klinis signifikan tercapai dengan terapi metilprednisolon setara prednison 0.5 mg/kgBB dan doksisiklin selama 2 minggu. Diskusi: : Patogenesis PL disebabkan oleh peningkatan kompleks imun, deposit IgM, dan C3 pada vaskular taut dermo-epidermal, serta kumpulan sel sitotoksik pada dermis dan epidermis yang berkorelasi dengan hipersensitivitas tipe lambat terhadap bahan vaksin. Pemeriksaan histopatologi membantu menegakkan diagnosis. Terapi kortikosteroid dan doksisiklin memberikan respon terapi dan luaran klinis yang baik pada P. Simpulan: Kasus PL pascavaksinasi Pfizer® COVID-19, perbaikan klinis dengan terapi kortikosteroid dan doksisiklin, serta pentingnya mengawasi efek samping pascavaksinasi, pemeriksaan klinis dan evaluasi histopatologi penting dalam penegakan diagnosis.

Abstract

Background: The skin undergoes degenerative and metabolic changes with aging, increasing susceptibility to dermatological conditions. Xerosis cutis, characterized by rough, scaly skin on the lower legs, is the most common cause of pruritus in elderly patients, with a prevalence of 38–85%. Treating xerosis cutis is challenging due to its multifactorial causes, especially in the elderly. Moisturizers remain the primary and most effective treatment, providing convenience and efficacy. This study aimed to evaluate the effects of QV Intensive Moisturizing Cleanser™️ and QV Intensive Cream™️ (Ego Pharmaceuticals, Australia), which contain humectants, emollients, and occlusives. Case Illustration: This observational case series involved six elderly subjects (>60 years) with xerosis cutis. Exclusion criteria included medications that cause dry skin, use of topical moisturizers within 2 weeks, or oral supplements (hyaluronic acid, vitamin C, and ceramide) within 4 weeks before the study. Over four weeks, subjects used only the specified cleanser and moisturizer on affected skin. Improvement was assessed subjectively using the Smoothness, Redness, Roughness, Cracking (SRRC) score, the Dermatology Life Quality Index (DLQI), and the 5D Pruritus Scale. Objective measures included transepidermal water loss (TEWL) via Tewameter® TM300 and skin capacitance (SCap) via Corneometer® CM825 (Courage+Khazaka Electronic GmbH, Germany). Discussion: All subjects showed improvement in SRRC, 5D Pruritus Scale, DLQI, TEWL, and SCap after four weeks of cleanser and moisturizer use, with no side effects or irritation observed. Conclusion: Cleansers and moisturizers containing humectants, emollients, and occlusives were found to be safe and effective for treating xerosis cutis in geriatric patients.
