BMJ Case Rep Published online: [please include Day Month Year] doi:10.1136/bcr-2015210902 DESCRIPTION A 30-year-old man born of a non-consanguineous marriage presented with asymptomatic peeling of skin throughout his body, sparing palms and soles, since birth. There was no preceding history of redness or fluid-filled lesions over the affected are...

The lower eyelid skin will retain its pigmentation and wrinkles after a routine lower blepharoplasty. Phenol peeling with croton oil combinations produces a complementary lightening of the skin and an improvement of the wrinkling. Deep peeling with phenol and croton oil has been controversial because of the hypo-pigmentation that generally results. This report explains the technique used by the...

An approach to reconstruct a quasi-phase-matching grating by using a discrete layer-peeling algorithm is presented. Experimentally measured output spectra of Šolc-type filters, based on uniform and chirped QPM structures, are used in the discrete layer-peeling algorithm. The reconstructed QPM structures are in agreement with the exact structures used in the experiment and the method is verified...

A simple model for the peeling process of pressure-sensitive adhesive tape is presented. The model consists of linear springs and dashpots and can be solved analytically. Based on the modeling, the curved profile of the peeling tape is spontaneously determined in terms of viscoelastic properties of adhesives. Using this model, two experimental results are discussed: critical peel rates in the p...

The peeling procedure is a valuable method for the aged skin, photo aging, acne scars and melasma. It should be performed by dermatologist. Pre peeling preparation of the skin is very important to prepare the skin for this procedure. It can be archived by applying the mask with acids twice a week. The caring of the skin after procedure is also very important for the success of the treatment. Sa...

PURPOSE The purpose of this study was to demonstrate a displacement of the foveal depression toward the optic disk after idiopathic macular hole (MH) surgery with internal limiting membrane (ILM) peeling. METHODS Two patients with a unilateral MH developed an MH in the fellow eyes. Vitrectomy with ILM peeling was performed on the fellow eye to close the MH. Images of spectral-domain optical c...

We study the nucleation of blebs, i.e., protrusions arising from a local detachment of the membrane from the cortex of a cell. Based on a simple model of elastic linkers with force-dependent kinetics, we show that bleb nucleation is governed by membrane peeling. By this mechanism, the growth or shrinkage of a detached membrane patch is completely determined by the linker kinetics, regardless of...

1 We designed and developed a learning support environment that advises a learner about correct apple holding and correct knife handling for improving apple peeling. The learning support environment is designed from an apple peeling expert’s motion data. We verified the learning effect by comparing experimental group with a control group. In the training phase of the evaluation experiment, each...

Micropatterning is becoming a powerful tool for studying morphogenetic and differentiation processes of cells. Here we describe a new micropatterning technique, which we refer to as microcontact peeling. Polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) substrates were treated with oxygen plasma, and the resulting hydrophilic layer of the surface was locally peeled off through direct contact with a peeling stamp mad...
