Pathophysiology and management of sensitive skin: position paper from the special interest group on sensitive skin of the International Forum for the Study of Itch (IFSI)

The special interest group on sensitive skin of the International Forum for the Study of Itch previously defined sensitive skin as a syndrome defined by the occurrence of unpleasant sensations (stinging, burning, pain, pruritus and tingling sensations) in response to stimuli that normally should not provoke such sensations. This additional paper focuses on the pathophysiology and the management of sensitive skin. Sensitive skin is not an immunological disorder but is related to alterations of the skin nervous system. Skin barrier abnormalities are frequently associated, but there is no cause and direct relationship. Further studies are needed to better understand the pathophysiology of sensitive skin – as well as the inducing factors. Avoidance of possible triggering factors and the use of well-tolerated cosmetics, especially those containing inhibitors of unpleasant sensations, might be suggested for patients with sensitive skin. The role of psychosocial factors, such as stress or negative expectations, might be relevant for subgroups of patients. To date, there is no clinical trial supporting the use of topical or systemic drugs in sensitive skin. The published data are not sufficient to reach a consensus on sensitive skin management. In general, patients with sensitive skin require a personalized approach, taking into account various biomedical, neural and psychosocial factors affecting sensitive skin.     

多媒体触控一体机在人体解剖学实验教学中的应用

<正>随着多媒体应用的普及,解剖学实验教学中也已把多媒体教学作为重要的教学手段。然而,以电脑加投影仪为代表的传统多媒体设备,由于其自身的缺陷,难以完全取代黑板教学,所以多媒体和黑板在教学中最好结合使用以取长补短~([1])。尽管如此,在两者的结合教学中还是存在一些问题。比如,要使投影仪显示效果清晰,需要教室光线黑暗一些,而黑板教学又要求教室光线比较明亮;电子教鞭一晃而过的指示方法让学生感觉不够
