Rhinophyma is a disfiguring end-stage manifestation of acne rosacea. It is characterized by a painless hyperplasia of the sebaceous glands and connective tissues of the nose. Numerous surgical modalities—including scalpel surgery, dermabrasion, CO2 laser ablation, and electrocautery—have been reported with varying results. We describe our experience with using a microdebrider to treat 2 patients—a 65-year-old man and a 74-year-old man—who presented with rhinophyma. The instrument we used was the Medtronic Straight-shot M4 Microdebrider. Using a low revolution speed, we easily excised the bulky superficial tissue. At higher revolution speeds with the use of a small shaver tip, we were able to achieve delicate contouring of the nasal tip and ala without causing scarring. Postoperatively, both patients exhibited an excellent cosmetic outcome and expressed a high degree of patient satisfaction. We conclude that the microdebrider is an excellent surgical tool for treating rhinophyma lesions. Its ease of use and its availability at most surgical centers makes it a favorable surgical option.

Purpose: To report the visual and anatomic outcomes of therapeutic keratoplasties performed in severely thinned or perforated corneas.Material and methods: Medical records of 37eyes of 37 patients operated between 2000 to 2014 were reviewed retrospectively. Indications, preoperative findings, surgical procedures, donor size, post-operative graft clarity, visual improvement, globe integrity and follow-up periods were analyzed. Mean age was 57,7 (20-85 ). Nineteen patients were male and 18 female. Mean follow-up was 28.7 (14-132) months.Results: Surgical indication was infectious in 17 (45.9%) and noninfectious in 20 eyes (54.1%). Infectious causes were bacterial ulcer 8 (21.7%), herpes simplex 7 (18.9%) and fungus in 2 (5.4%) eyes. Noninfectious causes were traumatic 6 (16.2%), Stevens-Johnson syndrome 2 (5.4%), desmatocele 2 (5.4%) other causes ( keratectasia, bullous keratopathy, acne rosacea, interstitial keratitis, lagophthalmos, and rheumatoid arthtritis). The underlying cause of cornel melting was unknown in 4 eyes (10.8%). Combined PK was performed in18 of 37 eyes (48.7%), PK alone in 14 (37.8%) and patch graft in 5 (13.5%). Graft survival rate was 30/37 (81.1%) through follow-up. Anatomical integrity was achieved in 23 (92.0%) of 25 perforated corneas. Visual improvement was obtained in 28 eyes (75.6%). Visual acuity was ≥ 0.05 in 6 eyes (16.2%) preoperatively, it increased to 22 eyes  (59.4%) post-operatively.Conclusion: Therapeutic keratoplasty including PK and patch grafting is an effective surgical procedure in patients with severe corneal melting or perforation due to varying aetiologies. It restores the globe integrity also provides visual improvement.

Demodex Mites

Demodex spp. mites are external obligate parasites; they are transmitted between hosts through direct contact, and may induce several dermatological symptoms when found in large numbers. However, these symptoms may be similar to other commonly known diseases; this often leads dermatologists to neglect the pathogenic role of these mites. Therefore, a better diagnosis is recommended in order to avoid mistreatment. The aim of this study was to investigate the correlation between Demodex mites and dermatological diseases. Infestation rates in patients suffering from acne, rosacea, folliculitis, and psoriasis were compared with asymptomatic patients, along with the mites’ relation to gender, age, personal hygiene, time of year, and residency. These mites were mainly found in patients with rosacea (66.67%) followed by acne (64.41%), while they were only observed in 48.15% of asymptomatic patients, 40.00% in folliculitis, and 0.00% in psoriasis. The statistical analysis showed a significant relationship between infestation and the previously mentioned dermatological diseases (P<0.01). The infestation rates increased significantly with age, reaching 83.33% in patients above 60 years old, and especially during cold months with higher humidity rates. These mites were also more predominantly found in urban areas (56.10%), followed by rural areas (48.45%). However, there was no significant relationship according to gender or personal hygiene.
