Rozaceea este o boală cutanată inflamatorie cronică și recidivantă care afectează în primul rând fața. Se exprimă clinic prin flush-uri la nivelul feței, eritem, telangiectazii și papulo-pustule asemănătoare acneei. Prevalența geografică a acestei boli variază între 1% și 22%. Diagnosticul diferențial este larg iar tratamentul este uneori dificil în funcție de stadiul bolii. Pentru leziunile eritematoase și telangiectazii, terapia cu lumină intens pulsată (IPL) și laser, sunt opțiuni terapeutice populare. Pentru rozaceea papulopustuloasă, atât antibioticele topice și sistemice cât și retinoizii topici și sistemici sunt utilizate. Totodată, ivermectina, un agent acaricid este o alternativă terapeutică. În stadiile avansate, hiperplazia glandelor sebacee duce la apariția rinofimei. Laserele ablative sunt o alternativă terapeutică larg întâlnită azi. Lucrarea reprezintă o sistematizare a materialului publicat în revista JEADV 2017,31,1775–1791 cu actualizarea terapiilor pentru rozacee pâna la această dată. 

Guideline for the treatment of rosacea

Rosacea is a chronic and frequently relapsing inflammatory skin disease primarily affecting the central areas of the face. Rosacea is characterized by symptoms of facial flushing and a spectrum of clinical signs, including erythema, telangiectasia, coarseness of skin, and an inflammatory papulopustular eruption resembling acne. Its geographic prevalence varies from 1% to 22%. The differential diagnosis is wide, and the treatment is sometimes difficult and varies by stage of rosacea. For erythematous lesions and telangiectasia, intense pulsed light (IPL) therapy and lasers are popular treatment option. For papulopustular rosacea, topical antibiotics, topical and systemic retinoids, as well as systemic antibiotics are used. A topical acaricidal agent, ivermectin, has undergone clinical development and is now on the market. In the later stages, hyperplasia of the sebaceous glands develops, resulting in phymatous growths such as the frequently observed bulbous nose or rhinophyma. Ablative laser treatments have largely replaced classical abrasive tools. Our presentation is an adjustment of scientific material published in JEADV 2017,31,1775–1791 with some up-to-date information with regards to rosacea treatment.

Cuvinte cheie: microscopie confocală de reflectanță; îmbătrânire cutanată; scor confocal

Îmbătrânirea cutanată este un proces fiziologic complex guvernat de factori intrinseci și extrinseci. Creșterea speranței de viață a transformat îmbătrânirea cutanată într-un subiect de interes pentru populația generală. Examenul clinic nu descrie pe deplin acest proces. Deși datele histologice sunt limitate, modificările microscopice care apar în procesul de îmbătrânire al pielii pot fi acum observate și cuantificate direct prin tehnici non-invazive, cum ar fi microscopia confocală de reflectanță in vivo (MCR). Am conceput un studiu prospectiv observațional cu scopul de a dezvolta un scor confocal ușor de utilizat pentru cuantificarea semnelor îmbătrânirii cutanate (CSIESA). Datele au fost colectate la „Centrul Medical Panduri” din București, în perioada 07-28.03.2022. Datorită naturii pivotale a studiului, am decis să înscriem 30 de subiecți. Lotul a fost împărțit în 5 grupe de vârstă: <35; 36–45; 46–55; 56–65 și >65 de ani. Semnele clinice au fost cuantificate folosind scorul „SCINEXA”. Au fost evaluate variabilele confocale cunoscute ale îmbătrânirii cutanate. Am calculat trei scoruri semi-cantitative diferite: scorul dezorganizării epidermice (EDS), scorul hiperplaziei epidermice (EHS) și scorul dermal (DS). EDS a arătat o tendință stabilă până la vârsta de 65 de ani și o creștere dramatică la subiecții >65 ani. EHS a fost caracterizat de o tendință ascendentă de la subiecții mai tineri la cei de vârstă mijlocie. DS a crescut liniar cu vârsta, cu o proporție diferită a tipurilor de colagen. Scorul confocal CSIESA s-a corelat bine cu scorul clinic SCINEXA. MCR este o tehnică non-invazivă aplicabilă pentru cuantificarea microscopică a semnelor de îmbătrânire cutanată.

Skin ageing is an intricate physiologic process that is governed by intrinsic (chronoageing) and extrinsic factors. Increasing life expectancy have turned skin aging into a topic of growing concern for the general population. Clinical examination of the skin does not fully describe the skin ageing process. Although histological data is limited, the microscopic changes occurring during skin ageing can now be directly observed and quantified through non-invasive techniques, such as in vivo reflectance confocal microscopy (RCM). An observational prospective study was designed with the aim of developing an easy to use confocal score to quantify skin ageing related signs (“CSIESA”). Data were collected at “Centrul Medical Panduri” Clinic in Bucharest between 07- 28.03.2022. Due to the pivotal nature of the study, we decided to empirically enroll 30 subjects. The study population was split into 5 age groups: <35; 36–45; 46–55; 56–65 and >65 years old. Clinical signs were quantified using the “SCINEXA” score. Known confocal variables of skin ageing were evaluated. Three different semi-quantitative scores were calculated: epidermal disarrangement score (EDS), epidermal hyperplasia score (EHS), and dermal score (DS). The EDS showed a stable trend up to the age of 65 and a dramatic increase in older subjects. EHS was characterized by an ascending trend from younger subjects to middle aged ones. The DS was progressive with age with a different proportion of distinct collagen type. The confocal “CSIESA” score correlated well with the SCINEXA score. RCM is a powerful, non-invasive technique for microscopically quantifying the ageing signs.

Tuberculoza reprezintă prima cauză de deces prin boală infecțioasă. Ideal, diagnosticul TBC se bazează pe identificarea Mycobacteriilor. Deoarece Mycobacterium tuberculosis este o bacterie de 2-4/0,2-0,5 microni, căutarea ei în lamele colorate Ziehl Nielsen (ZN) cu obiectiv microscopic 40X (diametru 0,5 mm) durează ore; inteligența artificială poate oferi soluții viabile în acest domeniu.
Echipa noastră include patologi, ingineri de machine learning și experți în IT și economie. Setul de date de antrenare include 500.000 de casete de delimitare pozitive și 1.000.000 negative provenite din lamele ZN a 81 de blocuri de parafină (21 pozitive, 60 negative); toate lamele au fost scanate folosind scanere manuale și automate; 7 patologi au notat zone pozitive și negative. Echipa de machine learning a propus mai multe tehnici de augmentare a imaginii cuplate cu diferite arhitecturi de computer vision. Setul de date de testare include 23 de lame ZN pozitive și 23 negative (46 de blocuri); lamele au fost scanate integral (whole slide images – WSI). 4 echipe de patologi au evaluat separat WSI-urile și lamele; WSI-urile au fost încărcate pentru analiză automată.
Analiza automată a WSI generează un raport care indică zonele susceptibile de a prezenta micobacterii. Arhitectura noastră prezinta rezultate foarte bune (0.9020 pe curba ROC). Rezultatele testului final (mașină versus om care evaluează WSI, mașină versus om care evaluează lame și om care evaluează WSI versus lame) arată acuratețe peste 90% în toate cazurile.
Software-ul bazat pe inteligență artificială pentru analiza automată a lamelor colorate ZN prezintă rezultate fiabile, oferind o economie extraordinară în timpul și efortul patologului.

Artificial intelligence, tuberculosis, mycobacterium tuberculosis, Ziehl Nielsen

Tuberculosis represents the first cause of death by infectious diseases. Ideally, TB diagnosis relies on Mycobacteria identification. Since Mycobacterium tuberculosis is a 2-4/0.2-0.5 microns bacterium, its searched in Ziehl Nielsen (ZN) stained-slides with 40X microscopic objective (0.5mm diameter) takes hours; artificial intelligence may offer viable solutions in this field.
Our team includes pathologists from Colentina University Hospital, machine learning engineers from University of Polytechnics Bucharest and experts in IT and economics from Zaya Artificial Intelligence SRL. Our training data set includes 500.000 positive and 1.000.000 negative bounding boxes originating in ZN-stained slides of 81 paraffin blocks (21 positive, 60 negative); all the slides were scanned using manual and automated slide scanners; 7 pathologists annotated positive and negative areas. The machine learning team has proposed several image augmentation techniques coupled with different custom computer vision architectures. Our testing data set includes 23 positive and 23 negative ZN-stained slides (from 46 paraffin blocks); the slides were scanned as whole slide images (WSIs). 4 teams of pathologists separately evaluated the WSIs and the original slides; the WSIs were sent for automatic analysis.
WSIs automatic analysis was followed by a report indicating areas more likely to present Mycobacteria. Our architecture showed very good results (0.9020 on ROC curve). The results of final test (machine versus man evaluating WSIs, machine versus man evaluating slides and man evaluating WSIs versus slides) showed accuracy over 90% in all cases.
AI-based software for automated analysis of ZN-stained slides shows reliable results, offering a tremendous economy in pathologist’s time&effort.

French “Choosing Wisely” Occlusive treatment of saphenous veins and recurrences
Author: Luc Moraglia

Between 2013 and 2016 the HAS (French Health Authority) validated successively the ablation of the great saphenous vein (GSV) by radio frequency (RFA), the possibility of using some sclerosing agent in the form of foam, and the ablation of the GSV and SSV by endovenous Laser (EVLA).
But in the end it declares itself unable to rank these techniques.
Between 2014 and 2019 the French National Health Insurance Fund (CNAM) validated the reimbursement of thermal ablation (TA) and also of 3 new procedures for Ultrasound Guided Foam Sclerotherapy (USGFS) of GSV, SSV, and complex recurrent varicose veins.
But, the CNAM fears a slippage in health expenses and has asked the National Professional Council of Vascular Medicine for guidelines. The French Society of Phlebology (SFP) and the French Society of Vascular Medicine (SFMV) are requested to do the job. In the meantime the Ministry of Health has insisted on the relevance of care, so the concept of “Choosing Wisely” (CW) seemed more in line with this policy.
The CWs provide both the physician and the patient with key elements to make an appropriate decision that is accepted by the patient.
So 2 writers C. Hamel-Desnos and G. Miserey and 29 reviewers (all Vascular Doctors) have been designated to develop these CWs for chemical or thermal occlusion treatments under the aegis of the National (French) Professional Council of Vascular Medicine (CNPMV), among these 10 CWs that we will present here, most are obvious and some are typically adapted to the French context.
Conclusion: These 10 “relevant choices” represent a consensus of French experts, based on international literature and were developed under the aegis of the National (French) Professional Council of Vascular Medicine; they have been accepted by the CNAM and have been under evaluation in our daily practice for a few months. These are not recommendations but the SFP, the SFMV and the SNMV (Union) are doing their utmost to get the message across to French vascular medicine specialists.

French technique
Author: Luc Moraglia

Luc Moraglia MD – Vice president of SFP

Objective: To describe the guidelines of the French technique of chemical ablation of the great saphenous vein (GSV).
Method: a brief history will identify the reality of the concept of French method, and then will be reminded of the technique, the results through some French studies and the side effects that are actually not specific. We conclude with limitations and medium-term prospects.
Results: whether in the development of sclerotherapy, in particular by contribution from school Raymond Tournay, for the introduction of ultrasound guidance, the use of sclerosing foam, making the extemporaneous foam , the validation of the effectiveness of ultrasound guided foam sclerotherapy by randomized controlled trials and evaluation and understanding of complications in studies dedicated , French phlebologists played a essential role which led to the concept of French method which got through the recent European guidelines ( recommendation 19) the status of recommended method (grade 1C) in the chemical ablation of the GSV .
Discussion : limits , besides the contraindications, are mainly located at the caliber of the vein to be treated . In France this limit will remain blurred as we will only have one foaming sclerosing agent and the thermal ablation techniques will still not be refunded. It is not unreasonable in this situation to put this limit high enough, around 8 to 10 mm. Refund of the thermal ablation should reduce this limit below 6 mm , pending the emergence and validation of new techniques.
Conclusion : The concept of French technique of chemical ablation of the GSV (such as the small saphenous vein elsewhere) , result of the works of the French school of Phlebology within the SFP is a fact reinforced by the European recommendations, and certainly still have nice future ahead of it .
