Background: Reconstructing extensive and deep lesions of the PALMAR of the hand is a problem occasionally occurred for the affected patients. Nowadays, skin graft, pedicled flaps, abdominal flaps, and free flaps are therapeutic approaches usually used for these patients. However, these techniques are associated with a number of complications such as thickened or inflammation of the graft, flap adhesion to the underlying structures, and altered color or structure of the graft. The present study was carried out in Alborz and 15 Khordad hospitals to evaluate the outcomes of reconstruction of the PALMAR of the hand during a 7-year period, 1994-2001. Materials and Methods: It was an existing data type study. All patients who have undergone reconstruction of the PALMAR of the hand were followed. Initial data including sex, age, type Of lesion, and the surgical techniques were all recorded. Surgery outcomes, complication on the operated site or the flap site, presence of hair, flap thickness, its adherence to the underlying tissue or graft were all determined. Results: Ot 36 eligible reports, 16 were burned by flame, 10 with hot liquid, 6 electrical burning and the remaining 4 were burned by hot materials. We have observed any noticeable defect or complication in instep site of the flap. Meanwhile, instep flap of the foot was hairless. Its color, structure, thickness, and adherence were compatible with PALMAR region. Furthermore, its size was suitable. Conclusion: We have found that the free instep flap of the foot is the best to be employed for PALMAR lesions.

A 22-year-old female, a case of precursor T-Cell lymphoblastic lymphoma was admitted to receive Hyper-CVAD chemotherapy COURSE 1B (continuous intravenous infusion of methotrexate (MTX) 1000 mg/ m2 with leucovorin rescue and high dose cytarabine (4400 mg, over 2 hours, q12 hour on days 2, 3) in a sun protected dark, clean room. She had also received Hyper-CVAD regimen COURSE 1A about a month ago without any serious complication. One day after completion of cytarabine, she developed bilateral PALMAR erythrodysesthesia (Figure 1)....

A total number of 604 right and left palm-PRINTs has been taken from 12 different Iranian groups so that 6 groups had yellow skin origins and the rest had white origins and these groups have been studied in accordance with their palm patterns line-counting.The inter-group differences went to show that each pattern is meaningful and therefore in reference to the genealogical tree of these differences we would be able to distinguish the yellow groups from the others which were also with a quite coherence with their ethnical history. Therefore the achieved results showed that line-counting of the palm-patterns could be used as one of the most important factors in genetic studies and/or in revealing (demo graphical) group differences.

There are no reports of association of specific cutaneous conditions in patients with local recurrent PALMAR peeling. Herein, we report a case with characteristic clinical presentation of local recurrent PALMAR peeling associated with a port-wine stain lesion. To the best of our knowledge, that association has not been reported before. Interesting points in the presented case are unilateral occurrence of the peeling disorder and its limitation to the region of port-wine stain.      

Paper and ink characteristics effects on PRINT density were investigated.  For this purpose three types of papers and four types of PRINTing inks at 2 viscosities levels (25-30, 50-55) were used. After measuring of paper and ink characteristics, chosen paper were PRINTed by inks and then PRINTing density was measured. Statistical analysis was conducted based on a complete randomized design in factorial experimental model and means were analyzed and grouped by Duncan multiple range test (DMRT) using SPSS software. Result indicated that solid content, pH and particles diameter of inks have significant effect on PRINT density. While roughness and water absorption of papers do not have on significantly influences on PRINT density. There was not any significant difference between two viscosity levels and PRINT density.
