Skin quality evaluation

Some quality factors, especially secondary ones, depend directly on material or structural attributes of the product. These product quality factors are often arbitrary and can only be qualitatively evaluated by panels of consumers or experts. Convenience for use, product stability, and ability for human skin protection are all examples of these quality factors. Each arbitrary performance index has specific relationships with the material/structural attributes. In such cases, the desirable quality factor can be realized by directly changing the formulation without concerning any of the performance indices. An example can be that to make a laundry detergent product more convenient to use, the product form can be changed from powder to tablet. Another example is that to make a highly biodegradable product, surfactants with less branching should be used.

As was pointed out, the remarkable simplicity of Doll s theory is related to the fact that interaction of induced currents is neglected. In order to take into account this effect and improve the quality of an interpretation of logging data, a new approach, also an approximate one. was suggested (Kaufman, 1962). This method allows us relatively quickly to evaluate the field, subjected to an influence of the skin effect in a formation, when there are both cylindrical and horizontal interfaces. Much later, this rather complicated problem was solved by V. Dimitriev, L. Tabarovsky, V. Zakharov using the method of integral equations. 

BCs and emollients are still not perfect. Much effort is necessary to develop products that will give more protection and fewer side effects. Efficacy and cosmetic acceptance are both important qualities of skin-care products for protection at the workplace, but the knowledge of how to use them correctly is a basic condition. It goes without saying that their benefit in the prevention of ICD and ACD has to be evaluated in... 

Diagnosis. Dermatologists obtain the patient s medical history and assess his or her status. They examine the affected skin and adjacent areas to determine the nature and extent of the lesions. A frequently used method is dermoscopy (or epiluminescent microscopy), which employs a quality magnifying lens and a powerful lighting system to allow a close examination of the skin s structure. It is useful in evaluating pigmented skin lesions and can facUitate the dk nosis of melanoma. 

A.4.2.2.4.2 Evidenoe from animal studies is usually muoh more reliable than evidenoe from human exposure. However, in cases where evidence is available from both sources, and there is conflict between the results, the quality and reliability of the evidence from both sources must be assessed in order to resolve the question of classification on a case-by-case basis. Normally, human data are not generated in controlled experiments with volunteers for the purpose of hazard classification but rather as part of risk assessment to confirm lack of effects seen in animal tests. Consequently, positive human data on skin sensitization are usually derived from case-control or other, less defined studies. Evaluation of human data must, therefore, be carried out with caution as the frequency of cases reflect, in addition to the inherent properties of the substances, factors such as the exposure situation, bioavailability, individual predisposition and preventive measures taken. Negative human data should not normally be used to negate positive results from animal studies. For both animal and human data, consideration should be given to the impact of vehicle. 

Atopic dermatitis (AD) is a chronic inflammatory skin disease characterised by extreme pruritus and lichenified papules and plaques that may begin in or persist in to adulthood. Topical corticosteroids are first-line prescription therapy for AD they are efficacious and have a well established safety profile. The topical calcineurin inhibitors tacrolimus and pimecrolimus have been approved as second-line topical therapy for AD. The current review evaluates the available studies on the comparative effectiveness, safety, cost, and impact on quality of life of topical corticosteroids and topical calcineurin inhibitors for the treatment of adult AD [17 ]. 

As far as children are concerned AD can be extremely disabling and may cause psychological problems for affected children and their families. Moisturisers and emollients are important in the baseline daily skin care of patients witii AD. To assess the effect of a 3-month, twice-daily treatment with an emollient on the quality of life of parents with a child with mild to moderate AD 0, a multicentre open trial was performed by eight dermatologists on 191 volxm-teers [18 ]. Evaluation by the dermatologists of the child s clinical condition and of the efficacy and overall safety of the treatment was associated with a quality-of-life questiormaire completed by one parent of the atopic child.
