Tattoo Removal - Think before you ink

Maybe your new boss frowns upon your tattoos

or your sweetheart can't stand the name of your former...

Laser treatment is now the standard method of removal

for unwanted tattoos.

Laser removal is low risk, non-invasive, and has a very

low incidence of scarring (about 5%).

Tatuatio arteficialis - therapy

LASER = Light Amplification by Stimulated

Emission of Radiation

– low performance laser – biostimulation

– high performance laser – destruction of

pigmentation shifts – postinflammatory,

melasma (chloasma), tattoo

Tattoo Removal - Think before you ink IPL – Intense Pulsed Light Therapy does not involve lasers, but the two processes are

similar. Most tattoos can be removed with only 3-4 sessions. The drawback is the expense -IPL can cost $10 and more per pulse.

The Process starts with a consultation with a dermatologist. There are around 100 different tattoo inks in use today, and some can be removed more easily than others.

The Pain of the laser pulse is most often compared to the sensation of having hot grease spattered on the skin, hair removed by extraction or to being repeatedly snapped with a rubber band. Anti-inflammatory drugs like ibuprofen are not recommended, as they may result in bruising.

The Procedure usually lasts 15-30 minutes per session. It involves laser pulses passing through the epidermis of your skin and into the dermis, where the tattoo ink absorbs the light energy. Over the following three to six weeks, the skin naturally removes the ink, which has been fragmented by the laser energy. A low-grade inflammation may occur after each procedure; this has been compared to mild sunburn, and any discomfort usually passes within a few days. After the skin has rested and the immune system has done its job (usually after 4-8 weeks), the patient is ready for another visit to the dermatologist.

Black, blue and red inks are most responsive to lasers and easiest to remove. Tattoos with green and yellow inks are the most resistant. Old tattoos may be easier to remove than new ones, as the inks can fade over time.

Each laser removal session can cost from $200-$1500, depending upon your practitioner. Most insurance companies don’t cover tattoo removal, since it is considered a cosmetic procedure. Some tattoos can be removed in 6-8 sessions, while others may require 16-18 sessions spanning over two years or more.

Asbestos is banned in most Western countries but related malignancies are still of clinical concern because of their long latencies.

The retrospective assessment of exposure - questionnaires and collection of medical history.

Fibers and asbestos bodies are counted in lung tissue, broncho-alveolar lavage, and sputum.

The etiology of lung cancer is difficult to define in cases of low-level asbestos exposure and concurrent smoking habits.

MESOTHELIOMA: The diagnosis difficult, because of sampling, fixation, and processing, and uses of immunohistochemical probes.

Assessment of exposure is crucial

Given the premise that asbestosis is necessary to causally link lung cancer to asbestos, it follows that the assessment of both lung fibrosis and asbestos body burden is necessary.

Asbestos - a proven human carcinogen.

Asbestos-related diseases (ARDs):

– lung cancer,

– malignant mesothelioma,

– asbestosis,

– pleural plaques, thickening and effusion.

The WHO and the International Labour Organization have called on

countries to stop using asbestos.

ARDs are increasing and asbestos use is continuing in the world.

Industrializing countries are faced with a myriad of forces prompting

them to continue using asbestos.

Full-scale international cooperation will thus be needed to achieve the

goal of eliminating ARDs.

people die each year from asbestos-related lung cancer,

mesothelioma, and asbestosis resulting from exposure at

Sergio Pin˜a-Oviedo, Carlos Ortiz-Hidalgo, Alberto G. Ayala Houston, Texas:

Human Colors—The Rainbow Garden of PathologyWhat Gives Normal and Pathologic Tissues Their Color?

Colors are important to all biologic organisms (that is, microorganisms,

plants, and animals, because they are crucial for camouflage and

protection, metabolism, sexual behavior, and communication.

Coloration of organisms results from the production of molecules

derived from cyclic compounds.

Because cells are microscopic and colorless as single units, they result

in a given color only when they accumulate in millions.

Unhealthy and/or neoplastic tissues usually retain the color of the cells

from which they derive but may also exhibit completely different color

characteristics.

Carotenes are unsaturated hydrocarbons

chemically derived from isopentenyl

pyrophosphate and terpenes

include carotenes, lycopenes, and

xanthines.

Carotenes are fatsoluble molecules that

can produce all the colors of the visible

spectrum (purple, blue, green, yellow,

orange, and red) and are synthesized only

by plants.

Animals are unable to produce carotenes

and can only obtain them from their diet.

Because carotenes are lipophilic, they

associate with lipid-rich tissues.

Carotenemia (or xanthoderma) and

lycopenemia occurs after excessive

consumption of carrots, tomatoes, or

beets




Cytochromes, the

Heme Group, Iron,

and Bile PigmentsPyrroles are heterocyclic

aromatic molecules composed

of a ring of 4 carbon atoms

and one nitrogen atom

(C4H5N).

Assembly of 4 pyrrole rings

forms the tetrapyrrole ring

protoporphyrin, a precursor of

several organic molecules.

Cytochromes mainly in

mitochondria & SER – liver

and kidney

Hemoglobin (Hb) gives all organs a pink-red or dark-red hue, depending on the volume of circulating blood and oxygen

(O2) concentration.

Congested blood in a small bowel infarct (F), and in a liver cavernous hemangioma (G) gives these tissues dark purple

color (deoxygenated Hb). Myoglobin is a main component in skeletal (I) and cardiac muscle (J). The color of organs also

results from the combination of cytochromes and Hb (spleen) (K) or myoglobin (heart) (J).




Methemoglobin – Fe3 - brown

Formalin turns Hb into hematin – blue-brown-gray

Plasmodia metabolize Hb into hemozoin

Biliverdin & bilirubin – yellow, greenish after oxidation.

Molecules

related to heme

groups

Like eggshells, mammalian bones

and enamel are white because they

are mostly composed of CaPO4 .

Soft tissues (collagen), epithelia,

myelin, platelets, and leukocytes

lack color because:

they can not absorb carotenes

do not have enough

cytochromes

possess high content of DNA

(intrinsically white) in cells with

high n/c ratio

they are avascular/ or

minimally supplied

do not possess melanin,

lipofuscin

Type I collagen is the most

abundant protein in animal soft

tissues and is composed of banded

fibers (tropocollagens) with a

transverse periodicity.
