Promising Treatment

Pansclerotic morphea (PSM) is a rare skin disease characterized by progressive stiffening of the skin with or without the typical superficial skin changes usually seen in morphea (localized scleroderma). Standard therapy, consisting of a combination of systemic glucocorticoids and methotrexate or mycophenolate mofetil, does rarely stop disease progression, which may lead to severe cutaneous sclerosis and secondary contractures. Little is known about the efficacy of newer biologicals such as abatacept, a fusion protein antibody against CTLA-4, or tocilizumab, a fully humanized IL-6R antibody, in the treatment of this pathology. We present the case of an 8 years old girl with an unusual, progressive stiffening of the skin, which was eventually diagnosed as pansclerotic morphea. A treatment with systemic glucocorticoids and methotrexate combined with tocilizumab led to a good clinical response within 2 months after initiation. In this paper, we discuss differential diagnoses to be considered and this new promising treatment option based on a case review of the literature.

Stoma Care

This case review discusses the importance of providing a holistic approach to the care of a patient with two stomas and an enterocutaneous fistula. In this case, the stomas and fistula significantly affected the patient; not just physically but emotionally and socially. The different challenges that arose in pouching a high-output ileostomy, enterocutaneous fistula and ileal conduit with Foley catheter in situ are explored. It also delves into the various options for discharging a patient with complex ostomy complications requiring different needs and resources. Finally, it aims to highlight the therapeutic comprehensive care the stomal therapy nurse provided to the patient and their family.
